My Interview With Alex Jeffreys – Computer Dunce To Internet Maven

Do you ever receive e-mails telling you the writer has negotiated a special deal from a good friend, just for YOU?

I get them all the time.

I know they’re from people trying to build their lists using Adswaps, and that’s okay.  

I understand how the system works, and you can actually get some “bargains” if you don’t mind handing over your e-mail address  to someone else.

It’s no big deal, after all, you can grab your goodies and remove yourself from the mailing list, can’t you?

Of course, you can, but if you’re anything like me, you don’t, which means your in-box is inundated with e-mails from people whose names you don’t recognise and whose lists you can’t remember why you joined.

Well, that’s how it is for me anyway, and I’m sure I’m not alone.

So, what’s that got to do with anything, you might ask, and here’s the answer.

Last night I did actually manage to record my chat with Alex Jeffreys.  You may recall from an earlier blog post, the last time I spoke to Alex, I forgot to press the red record button. 

Duh!

It was a great call, too.

Anyway, last night we chatted, and Alex spoke about many things, including his childhood, his education, his lifestyle, and how he’s acquired the business and marketing skills, which will enable him to become a Maven on the internet.

According to Wikipedia,  A maven (also  mavin) is a trusted expert in a particular field, who seeks to pass knowledge on to others. The word maven comes from the Hebrew, via Yiddish, and means one who understands, based on an accumulation of knowledge

There’s no doubt, Alex passes his knowledge on, and our call was nothing like  his normal interviews.  He confirmed, what I’ve known for  ages, there’s a real satisfaction in being able to help people.

If you want to listen to our conversation, you’ll need to go here,  unless or course, you’re already on my list, in which case it will be heading towards your in-box.

Don’t worry though, unlike the Adswaps, you only have to join my list and you can take yourself off it straight away if you wish. 

Of course, I’ll be heartbroken , but will understand!

No seriously, it’s okay if you do that, but you never know, you might just want to stay.

It’s your decision.

Take care.
