<p>These are a series of training videos which give techniques and strategies to use in growing your own online business.</p>
<p>The Freedom Class is a private laptop seminar in which participants are guided through the process of setting up their own self-propelling web business. They come away with a sales site, a blog and a double-dimension viral growth mechanism. All from scratch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The complete action-learning DVD series of The Freedom Class is due <span id="more-277"></span> to be released shortly. Everything is in place and we are in the closing stages of editing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.timbrocklehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/actionfreedom200.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-278" title="actionfreedom200" src="http://www.timbrocklehurst.com/wp-content/uploads/actionfreedom200.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Meanwhile, those who actually attended The Freedom Class, are up and flying with their new-found viral web businesses. It is still only three weeks since the class, but they&#8217;re uploading products, building lists and making sales. They&#8217;re doing things many people still haven&#8217;t done after years of marketing on the Internet.</p>
<p>In fact, perhaps that&#8217;s where the problem lies. Too many of us have difficulty breaking down the wall between being <em>marketed to</em> and being <em>the marketer</em>.  Inevitably therefore, there are thousands of people who have been online for years and spent a small fortune on Internet Marketing products without ever making any money themselves.</p>
<p>It was with this in mind that The Freedom Class was conceived.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;d like to have me show you exactly how you can break down that wall, and build a web-business you can be proud of, then keep an ear to the ground for more about the Action Freedom Pack.</p>
<p>More coming soon&#8230;</p>

<p>This year will see an important milestone in the history of advertising. For the first time, online ad revenues in the UK will be more than what is spent on TV. <span id="more-179"></span></p>
<p>Surprisingly, this statistic is yet to be reached in the USA, where TV ad spend will be around $72.56 billion this year, about a quarter of all ad spending, according to Interpublic Group&#8217;s Universal McCann.</p>
<p>And yet research last year showed that teenagers in the USA were spending an average of only 2 hours per week watching television. By far the greater proportion of their time is spent on the Internet and computer gaming.</p>
<p>Online advertising globally has grown by at least 20% in all years except the 2 straight after the Internet bubble burst, and according to private equity and investment firm Veronis Suhler Stevenson, it is projected to grow at at least the same rate through to 2010.</p>
<p>So this UK milestone will be seen in other countries too within the near future. Veronis anticipates that spend on other ad media will show marginal growth in the same time frame: broadcast TV (4%); satellite TV (10%); newspapers (2.2%); and radio (3%)</p>
<p>Online Ad Revenue growth since 1996</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.timbrocklehurst.com/images/econ_t.jpg" alt="10 year online advertising growth" /></p>
<p><em>Source: Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP</em></p>
<p>The signs are clear. If you&#8217;re not giving your company a presence online already, then the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be.</p>
<p>If you want to benefit from this rush of online advertising then you have to have somewhere for your target audience to go, and something for them to do when they get there. If not to buy, then at least give them somewhere to sign up, to indicate their interest in your product so you can build trust and reinforce assurance with them.</p>
<p>Participants of my Freedom Classes realise what can be done when current methods of online automation are put in place to create exponential growth.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to learn more about these classes, <a title="The Freedom Class" href="http://www.thefreedomclass.com" target="_blank">go here</a>.<!--more--></p>

<p>Everyone now has an MVS (<a href="http://www.myviralspiral.com" target="_blank">My Viral Spiral</a>) site and a Products folder for placing their product sales pages. Those two things on their own are enough for anyone to run a successful online business. All they need to do is generate their first flow of traffic. </p>
<p>Today&#8217;s participants are also adding a blog to the mix of their business activities. This will become an invaluable tool both for building customer relationships and for generating hordes of visitors to to their squeeze pages.</p>
<p>As I write this, they are writing their first post. Very soon they will be catching the eye of the search engines, and with a signup form in the sidebar of their blog, they will be filtering off a free flow of traffic to their squeeze pages and sales pages.</p>
<p>Here are the names of today&#8217;s participants, with links to their new blogs.</p>
