After eight years in Corporate America, Jesse Jameson ventured into Internet Marketing feet first and gradually established his credentials as a "behind the scenes" expert.
Jameson has personal coaching and mentoring experience, but is particularly skilled at partnering with companies that want to establish a winning web presence.
Jesse's initial online breakthrough came via the "Interview the Experts" path.
Creating interview products is a "WIN-WIN" situation for aspiring entrepreneur and guru alike.
So, if you like communicating and are prepared to sell yourself, seek out 5-10 experts in your niche and develop your own interview products.
Starting from Scratch...
The path to Internet Marketing glory starts with recognizing and exploiting a "viable" passion.
To that end, Jesse Jameson suggests that individuals:

1. Make a list of hobbies and interests that you really enjoy or always wanted to try.
   
2. Narrow your list to include hobbies for which A) You already possess specialized knowledge, or B) You are committed to learning and accessing the necessary knowledge.
   
3. Do market research on 3-5 choices from your list to determine their viability (case studies, networking, surveys, results of people already in niche, etc.
   ).
   

Blazing "Old" Trails Jameson provides newbies with some counterintuitive advice: "DON'T be a pioneer!" Choose innovation over invention; long-term viability means swallowing your pride and leaving the "lab" work for later.
Competition must not intimidate beginners.
In fact, it is the best indicator of a healthy niche that supports multiple players - provided you can supply a superior product that everyone wants, and can connect with a hungry target market.
Find out who the major players are, and how they are making money.
Filling the Market Gaps Foregoing original product research and education does not mean ignoring existing opportunities in your chosen market.
Jesse strongly advises newbies to sign up to several established marketer lists to learn about expert tactics and current results.
More importantly, learn about their weaknesses and how you can stand out with a better approach.
Top marketers often volunteer great information:

• Website statistics and information collection methods.
  
• Price points, i.
  e.
  ; how to decide what the market will bear.
  
• How to partner with established marketers.
  

JV marketing is Jesse's #1 prosperity method, so consider how to create such alliances (e.
g.
interviews, offering front-end products, technical work, etc.
).
