When it first opened, I joined the Third Tribe. I am a self confessed forum junkie and the thought of a forum for people who were interested in internet marketing of the non in your face variety, was a dream come true.  I was in like Flynn (in other words I joined).

I joined not really knowing who the founders were. I thought I would be mainly in the forums and looking at the occasional article. I was completely wrong.

It’s all Graham Hunt‘s fault may I add. He kept sending me links to podcasts, and I listened to them. I was a member of the Third Tribe for just 3 weeks when my daughter said to me “mum, do you want me to add those podcasts to your iphone?” and I agreed. I had listened to Grahams podcasts so I was used to listening to them as I worked, BTW you can find Graham over here at Entrepreneur Solo where he is about to launch his bootstrapping guide, which is excellent (will review that later this week).

Over Easter we had an internet malfunction, and not being a TV person, I listened to the Third Tribe podcasts – Wow!

A wealth of information, all of it useful. My understanding of certain principles and why things are done a certain way has increased tenfold, and although you won’t see an email newsletter on this blog, you will see them on my other blogs. something prior to the Third Tribe I would not have touched with a barge pole.

The podcasts are fab, even if you never step foot in the forum the membership is worth it just just for the precious information contained within them.

Well the membership is currently $47 a month, and as the information is very valuable and there are many opportunities to learn and share in the forums – the peer advice is priceless. The contacts, well – priceless springs to mind again. The price goes up on the 1st of June to $97. You can join here.

This is a list of some of the podcasts available, they all come with worksheets and links to relevant information.

• The Quick Start Guide to Making Money Online – Johnny Truant on how to make your first $100 online, two critical factors in his success, so called “instant money systems,” and more.

• Building a Business Around a Blog: Part One – Darren Rowse on the 3 factors your blog must have to make money with advertisers, choosing a profitable niche, making banner ads work, and more.

• Building a Business Around a Blog: Part Two – Chris Brogan on online reputation, two favorite ways to bring in blog revenue, getting into your customer’s head, and more.

• Advanced Affiliate Marketing with Social Media and SEO – Glen Allsopp on the best way to get natural, high-quality links, a lame SEO technique that actually still works, why social media and SEO shouldn’t be seen as separate, and more.

Today is your last chance to sign up for the the Third Tribe at $47 which is about £30 a month, give or take a few quid. ROI? So far, this is the best forum yet for that. I am not even going to start listing what I have gained here, I have reached nearly 700 words already on how great I am finding the Third Tribe.

The rest is up to you, join if you want at the lower rate and download the info – once you start listening you’ll be hooked.

Don’t sign up because I find it interesting, join because you want to do more with your online marketing. You want to increase your knowledge and contacts, you want to help others and you will find as you go along you start to make some money in ways you never expected to.
