Internet Marketing Inner Circle - More Treasures Than Expected

Several months ago I started following a man on Twitter that I didn’t know much about. That man was Willie Crawford (Willie on Twitter). Very soon after that I realized from watching his Tweets that Willie is a man that knows his stuff and would be a great resource for me and my business.
If you use Twitter, you’ll understand what I’m talking about when I refer to your Twitter timeline. When you follow a lot of people, your timeline moves very quickly, on mine a post will usually move to the second page within five minutes or less. So, after a while, you start to filter the Tweets and only read the ones from the people you are most interested in. Those usually consist of Tweets from your friends or from those you know you can learn something from, all the others seem to fade to the background. Well, let me tell you, I make a concerted effort to read all of Willie’s Tweets, I even go so far as to click on his profile from time to time to see if I missed anything. I also follow the links he posts. To me, Willie is an authority that can make a difference to my business and I don’t want to miss anything he has to offer, especially if it’s free.
It wasn’t long and a natural progression started to fall into place. I began to think that joining Willie’s membership site, The Internet Marketing Inner Circle (TIMIC for short), could benefit me. I thought about it for quite a long time, probably close to six weeks from the first time I read the sales page. I even Tweeted to Willie asking him to give me a reason to join and, of course, he responded. But I still didn’t join. I couldn’t get myself to part with the monthly fee. I had recently purchased some of the big “gurus” programs and spent a lot of money. It just wasn’t the right time yet. So more time went by.
Well, finally the time came and I parted with the $37 monthly membership fee (I can’t afford the lifetime membership yet - notice I said YET). What a surprise! I’ve been a member now for about two weeks and I am so happy I joined. This membership is one I will belong to for a very long time (I’ve been known to hop around). I have learned more and met more people on Willie’s messageboard that will help my business than in any membership I’ve ever belonged to (with exception of one - MomMasterminds - more on that in a different post and those members belong to a different crowd). The people who are members aren’t the usual run of the mill members, they are solid business people and are so willing to help the membership with their wealth of knowledge. It’s really quite amazing.
I was reading through the board this morning and came across a post where one member was ready to give up. He wasn’t sad about it, he was MAD. No one in his family, including his wife, seemed to understand what he was trying to do. The support that came out of his post was beautiful. One member offered to pay for a report that would help him to evaluate his business. Another posted a link to a wonderful report about how long it takes to be successful.
But the best thing I’ve found about the site is the amount of collaboration that goes on. Currently there is a project that the membership is pulling together to build an ebook. There are proposals and joint ventures being planned, there’s information sharing on a level that I’ve never seen, a level where no one is afraid to share their knowledge, time, and even their treasure. And always there, always helping, always prodding us to be better and not waste our time, is Willie. The same guy I started following on Twitter several months ago and thought so much of.
Thank you Willie, you’re an inspiration.

I participate at TIMIC, also.
As far as I’m concerned, TIMIC is a must for those who do Internet marketing and would like to joint venture with others. It is its own inner circle.

Reba I agree with you! I am new to TIMIC also, have not posted much but went there strictly because of Willie Crawford. He is the best! He is truly a genuine caring person and so are the members of his forum!

Jean, I’ll watch for you in the TIMIC forum, don’t be afraid to get involved. I asked a newbie question about how JV Brokers charge for their services last night and Willie gave a great detailed answer. And everyone there is just as helpful. I can’t wait until I feel confident enough to JV with some of those great people.
And thanks for the kind words about my blog…I’m working on it, still trying to see where it goes.
