My name is Steve Porter.  I live in Hannibal, Missouri, United States Of America, with my wife, Annie.  We have one son and our first grandchild is now 3 months old.  I have been a trial lawyer for 18 years and in and out of the home business industry for 30 years.

I remember when I first started creating additional income with a part-time home business, the marketing methods of choice back then were making a list of everyone on earth whom you knew and contacting them either by telephone, in-person, or by regular mail.  I got started before personal computers existed.  I also marketed by buying classified newspaper ads and asking everyone for referrals and even prospecting total strangers.

Then, in 2003, I started again with a health benefits company who provided a discount dental plan with vision, chiropractic, and prescription drug benefits.  This time, I learned the marketing method of buying biz-opp leads and getting on the telephone to "pitch" my business opportunity and my discount service plans to all of my leads.  Needless to say, after pounding the telephone for over 3 years, I got sick and tired of the amount of rejection inherent with this marketing method.

Then, one day, July 21, 2007 to be exact, I clicked on a banner ad and I found Ann Sieg and her Renegade Network Marketer system.  Through Ann Sieg, I discovered Perry Marshall, a guru when it comes to advertising on Google.  I then discovered Stone Evans and Charlie Page.  I learned from Stone Evans how to successfully advertise in E-zines (electronic magazines) and what an autoresponder is and how to use one to create my own mailing list.  I also learned from Stone Evans how to create income via blogging.  I learned from Charlie Page how to advertise by writing articles and submitting my articles to article directories.

After discovering Ann Sieg and Stone Evans and Perry Marshall and Charlie Page, I, literally, studied them for 60 days before beginning my online marketing endeavors.  There were two marketing systems that I absorbed during those first 60 days that I attribute my quick online success to.  The first marketing system is "The Renegade Network Marketer" system created by Ann Sieg.  The first step in Ann's marketing system is to read her 35-page e-book entitled "The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing".  This e-book is available as a FREE download at:

http://www.StephenRayPorter.com.  The second step in Ann's marketing system is "The Renegade Network Marketer" e-book.  This e-book is available for a one-time investment of $67.00 and you may use the system for life.  You may obtain this e-book and the lifetime use of Ann's Renegade System at:  http://www.Stephen-Ray-Porter.com.

The second marketing system is the Plug-In Profit Site created by Stone Evans.  Within the Plug-In Profit Site, there are 6 different businesses to promote and each one provides the opportunity to create monthly residual income.  But, the prize within the Plug-In Profit Site, in my opinion, is Stone Evans' "30 Days To Success Guide".  This Guide is a literal step-by-step roadmap that anyone may follow to achieve online home business success.  I cannot recommend the use of this Guide enough.  It has helped me tremendously and is helping my downline daily.

I, at the present time, promote these two systems exclusively.  I have developed a 3-step system that I followed and that I now promote to teach others how to be successful with any online business that one chooses to become involved with.  This 3-step system is as follows:

Step 1:  Read "The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing" by Ann Sieg.  You may do so at:

http://www.StephenRayPorter.com.

Step 2:  Read, study, and apply "The Renegade Network Marketer" by Ann Sieg.  You may do so at:  http://www.Stephen-Ray-Porter.com.

Step 3:  Sign up for the Plug-In Profit Site and read, study, and apply Stone Evans' "30 Days To Success Guide".  You may do so at:  http://www.LearnMore2EarnMore.com.

If you would like to learn how to successfully advertise on Google, then I highly recommend that you read, study, and apply "The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords" written by Google advertising guru, Perry Marshall.  You may obtain this Guide at:

I am new to the concept of social networking and to using social networking communities as a marketing method to expand one's home business.  But, I consider myself to be a quick-study.  I hope that the information that I have provided here may help anyone reading this Blog entry to have greater online business success.  Also, I welcome feedback as well as contacts whom I trust we may learn more from each other.

To Your Continued Success,

Stephen Ray Porter
