Alex Jeffreys’ Mentoring Program – My Experience (#1)
by Gary ~ November 28th, 2008
A couple of days ago I joined Alex Jeffreys’ Internet mentoring program called… “Marketing With Alex.”
How did I get involved? Well, I received an email from Mike Filsaime entitled “this makes ME proud.” I think I have been on Mike Filsaime’s email list for quite some time.
This email was buried in amongst all the other emails that I had overnight. Emails from everyone and everywhere about all sorts of things (and a lot of useless spam – you can read what I think of spam elsewhere in this blog).
Anyway… Mike Filsaime is a well known and respected internet marketing – dare I say the word? – g… gu… guru. There, I said it. So, I was wondering what would make someone like him proud. Initially, I thought it was another one of his products but the title intrigued me so, I opened the email.
The opening two sentences said, “I had the fortunate opportunity to meet and mentor a young man from the UK over the last 2 years. His name is Alex Jeffreys.”
Well, that was different!
He then went on to say that Alex Jeffreys had paid him $5,000 to mentor him. That sure caught my attention. $5,000? Huh? Now I was interested.
A bit further down in the email Mike Filsaime said – and I quote – “Alex is now making $20,000 per month.”
What? I had to read that again. $20,000 per month!
Now I was definitely interested. Who was this guy Alex Jeffreys and what was he doing?
Then Mike Filsaime said, “And recently, he has done over $200,000 in sales in just 10 days.”
OK. That did it! I just had to know more.
I googled Alex Jeffreys. I was looking for what this guy was doing. Was it illegal? Was it immoral? Was he a shonky operator? Was he involved with one of those sites where people photograph and film themselves sans clothes (ie without them)?
You see, my code of honour won’t allow me to do anything illegal, immoral or shonky. No, I’m not a saint – far from it - but you’d have to know me personally to understand just why I say that. (I might tell you later)
Back to the mission at hand… investigating Alex Jeffreys…
… after half an hour of clicking on links I couldn’t find anything negative or derogatory at all about Alex Jeffreys. I even watched a video of the guy and thought he looked and sounded pretty good. (In other words, if he was dodgy then he’d passed beneath my radar)
At this point I have to admit that I have spent $1,000′s on useless e-books, programs and other time wasting exercises that promised so much but delivered so little. Several years ago I parted with $3,000 to a company (and I use the term VERY loosely – read that as scam operator) that was going to be my “PARTNER” in internet success. To cut a long story short – they ripped me off big time. It still annoys me. It wasn’t the money, it was my TIME and time is something you will NEVER get back. But enough of that.
Back to Mike Filsaime’s email…
It said, “Alex documented EVERYTHING he has done and now wants to PERSONALLY mentor YOU.”
Gee, I thought, that sort of success with a documented A, B, C, D dot-to-dot plan would be pretty interesting.
So, what did I do?
I shelled out the money and joined the Alex Jeffreys coaching program. But I didn’t tell my Minister of Finance (wife) because, patient as she is with my internet interests, the only BIG goals I have kicked have been offline. And I have kicked some pretty big ones there. So, she trusts me…
Er… but I have taken a LOT of money from outside the internet and “invested” it into the internet. If you get what I mean.
If you can imagine – or if you have some online “experience” (LOL) - then that can be like pouring water into a sink. Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. Gee that disappeared quick, didn’t it?
So, I’m hanging with the Alex Jeffreys Marketing and Coaching program and I’m going to update my experiences here on this blog.
That’s it for now. I’ll post again later and let you know some more about the things I am finding out. And doing.
Best Wishes

1 – Hi Garry,
I see we are reciprocating with posts to each other’s blog. This is good and just the thing that I believe Alex Jeffreys would want. It’s all about the “buzz” isn’t it? – just fanning the flame, so to speak.
Regarding the experience you mentioned – yeah, I’ve been at this a while – made almost EVERY mistake possible (it ain’t hard to do). I’ll let every one in on a bit more of this “experience” later.
I like the poll idea at your blog site – very clever. I just went over and said that too.
2 – Hi Dean,
Trust is big in my book. Without that you have Jack S**t!
Thanks for the compliment on the look of my blog. I want to keep it simple without too much distraction. On that point, I have decided to number the entries so people can go back and read them sequentially and also for reference if I need to say something like “refer to #4.”
As Alex Jeffreys said in his Module #1 – you need to be organised.
Regards to you both.

Ahh gee, sorry to hear of your bad experinces on line. Dont worry that will change. Because you’re on the right track now. We all are. I know, Ive been doodling online for years too…made some cash here and there, but nothing thats going to pay the rent month after month! Ive been fiddling with website flipping for the past couple years, it has been successful but thats just not where I want to be right now. I want to eventually set something on autopilot and leave it to make money without having to worry about it day in and day out!!
To our success!!
