John Delavera [John Delavera's Blog]
John Delavera is known for his Internet marketing inventions and innovations. His analytical mind and viral marketing strategies have helped many exceed their Internet marketing goals and expectations. His skills and his business acumen has also been successfully applied to the creation of popular marketing products such as the first-ever One-Time Offer script and strategy, the Dynamic Pricing Generator, the Turbo Referer and the JVManager. Among other things, he is also the editor of the TurboZine, the Best Seller Ebook and the Together Project. (Read more on page 6)
Jeffrey Levesque
For a man who’s been building things nearly all his life, it only made sense for Jeffrey Levesque to turn to constructing in his Internet marketing endeavors when an accident removed him from this then current construction job.
Broke and clueless about Internet marketing, Jeffrey eagerly awaited the arrival of a $697 home study course that would open his eyes and change his life – for the better. In 1997, he started his first Internet Mall. Later, merging his love for building with the mechanics of setting up affiliate systems, Jeffrey soon became known as the “Affiliate Mechanic”.

Paul Ponna [Paul Ponna's Software]
Paul was hesitant at first to write an eBook, having doubts if people would buy it, but conquering his fear leads him to more “unexpected” success. From selling public domain material on eBay to creating an ebook on how to do it, Paul Ponna had his first six-figure launch in 2007.
He went on to successfully launch a software created to automate the delivery of a physical CD after eBay banned the selling of digital products, and had earned six figures within one month of its release.
How did he do it? (Read more on page 22)
Reed Floren
Reed Floren is no stranger to struggle. His family lived off credit cards, bought from garage sales and other thrifty shopping venues for over a year when his dad lost his job with the state. What followed was more hardship which took so much time of Reed’s father that he never really got a chance to bond with his dad.
When Reed was in seventh grade, his school introduced an alternative type of education…and that’s where Reed first discovered the Internet. When he was at school, he made money in other useful and creative ways as well, buying things cheap (often with his parents’ money!) and selling them to his classmates with a generous mark-up, which meant he was making 100% pure profit. Reed even loaned some of his classmates money to be paid back with interest – interest that doubled every day. (Read more on page 29)
Edmund Loh [Edmund Loh's Website]
Trying to make up for the failures of his father and provide for what remains of his family, Edmund Loh started Internet Marketing in 2005. Now a Private Label Rights expert, Edmund started in poverty, driven to succeed and rise above being poor. Helping his mother achieve her dream of someday seeing the world, Edmund continues to work hard on his success…and he unabashedly admits his mom is the woman behind his success.
Edmund Loh’s life today is completely opposite what it was just five short years ago. He struggled in finishing school and experienced setbacks on his first online business…but his determination and hard work catapulted him to success. Declaring war on poverty, working smarter, and focusing on how he could help others were the forces that drove Edmund to achieve success, allowing him to become debt-free in the same year he started his on-line business and it continues to prosper today… (Read more on page 36)
Brian Garvin
Brian Garvin suffered a medical condition that not only jeopardized his health but his finances as well. However, Brian rose to the challenge and, through a simple search in the Internet, got him to where he is right now.
Life’s thrown Brian a number of curve balls, like getting into trouble at sixteen, and coming home from Saudi Arabia on medical discharge due to excruciating pain. The condition certainly changed his life.
Not wanting to end up like some of the beggars he’d seen around town, Brian hit the Internet, looking for ways to add to his paltry income. A step at a time, he learned to build an email list, learned affiliate marketing, and soon made a name for himself in Internet Marketing, making over $150,000 a year online. (Read more on page 41)
Kevin Riley [Kevin Riley's Newbie Course]
As far as “recipes for online success” go, Kevin Riley created his own; several of them, in fact. Having moved to a country far from where he came from, Kevin’s success moved closer to him through Internet marketing.
Though he’d left his money behind when he moved to Japan, it didn’t take Kevin long to recoup his losses. One “a-ha!” moment and a burst of creativity were all that was needed to bring Kevin back to the top of the income-producing chain.
With a decent product line, a sleek but simple set of “IM Recipes” and a great reputation for charging less and delivering more, Kevin’s company Product Creation Labs took off. (Read more on page 44)
Rachel Rofe
Each day Rachel spent in her offline job was filled with the misery of long hours and very little to no time for just plain living life. She ended up hating the job…and even herself…for a time. Feeling trapped, more or less, Rachel “took the plunge” and went online—for better or worse.
Liberated from the world of retail drudgery, Rachel traded in her old, misery inducing job for $500-$800 income producing days online without a backward glance. Then through the world of seminars, she discovered “copywriting” , “membership sites”, and affiliate sites…which began to bring in more money for her than her old job ever had.
Rachel eventually was able to cultivate more relationships with future business partners begun through meetings at marketing seminars by leveraging her copywriting skills in exchange for others promoting her products to their lists. (Read more on page 48)
Stephanie Mulac
Stephanie and her husband’s online endeavors were really an extension of what they were already doing – but burn-out led Stephanie to begin experimenting with building websites and selling digital and affiliate products for herself.
At the time, her husband Greg was on “night shift” which meant there were very few hours to spend together as a “family”. And holidays were worse. It was during a particularly grueling holiday season, with Greg forcing himself to stay awake long hours (due to his nighttime work hours) in order to spend time with family for holiday dinners and gatherings that Greg and Stephanie decided enough was enough. It was time for Greg to be home with them; time for him to quit his job and go online full time.
So they created a “plan” they thought was great, until their daughters proved them otherwise. Greg was able to quit his job in an astonishing six months rather than the two years they had planned…all because of something pointed out to them about their expectancies by their daughter.

Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian [Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian's Website]
Purpose, passion, and persistence are words that absolutely describe the driving principles behind Dr. Mani’s success online. His long-ago promise to himself to not accept children dying coupled with his mission to do anything within his power to prevent the death of a child has fueled Dr. Mani’s career as an Internet infopreneur.
The children’s heart surgeon with a great big heart, Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian is also an eBusiness mentor and a coach. He ranks among the world’s top 50 online marketers and profits from his Internet Marketing businesses go toward helping to pay for surgeries for children born with various heart problems – surgeries their parents would otherwise be unable to afford.
By offering eBooks, courses, training programs and services to small business owners, home business owners, and the work-at-home crowd, providing them a number of ways to earn money (or more money) online, Dr. Mani is able to raise more funds for surgeries to help save the lives of children with congenital heart defects.

Willie Crawford [Willie Crawford's Website]
One of today’s leading experts in the Internet Marketing field, Willie Crawford started out just like many of us – poor. But Willie always had a driving need to escape the cruel hand of poverty and establish his own business.
Willie has served in the Air Force, created many info-products, speaks at and hosts multiple seminars across the globe and hosts his own radio show. With over 1600 websites to his credit today, Willie has definitely come a long way from his roots as a poor boy living on a North Carolina tobacco farm.
Having learned about Niche Marketing, reading email newsletters while flying for the Air Force, Willie started his Internet Marketing business in 1996. When he retired from the Air Force in 2003, he’d already built his Internet Marketing business so big it yielded a six-figure part-time income. His first success? (Read more on page 64)
