Connie Ragen Green – Owner and CEO
Connie Ragen Green has been online since the end of 2005. A former classroom teacher and real estate broker/residential appraiser, she left it all behind in search of a way to make a living from her home computer doing something she loved. Now she is able to work from anywhere in the world that has an Internet connection, as she does regularly from one of her homes near the beach in Santa Barbara, California.
After a disappointing first year, where she made almost no money and found the technology to be more than she had bargained for, Connie finally put the pieces of the puzzle together and began to earn money through affiliate marketing. She was determined to help others get started online more easily, and began teaching new online entrepreneurs during 2007. She continues to teach regularly, offering both webinar and teleseminar trainings regularly.
In addition to these trainings, Connie has more than thirty products of her own. She believes that having both your own products and courses to promote, as well as affiliate products, makes for the best possible online business.
Connie was awarded the coveted ‘Better Your Best’ grand prize by Armand Morin at the Big Seminar in November of 2009. This prize included $25,000 in cash, as well as the opportunity to serve as the Ambassador for the prestigious AM2 program for online marketers. Since winning this prize, several of her students have participated in the competition and three have come in either first or second place.
In July of 2010 she published her first book, Huge Profits With A Tiny List: 50 Ways to use Relationship Marketing to Increase Your Bottom Line. This book is available on Amazon, as well as all major retail book outlets. It has received critical acclaim, being nominated for a Reader’s Choice award for small business marketing books in December of 2010. She now has eight books to her name, as well as contributing to many others.
Connie is also a speaker and presenter at conferences internationally, speaking on the topics of earning huge profits from a small list, affiliate marketing, article marketing, and starting an online business.

Dennis Becker
Dennis Becker began his Internet marketing career in 1998 by selling on eBay while still running a full time retail business. Beginning in 2002, he became interested in Internet marketing, and spent 3 years trying virtually everything with dismal results.
One day, frustrated and beat, but unwilling to quit, he devised a new strategy to simplify the entire process, starting with a mindset makeover. That strategy changed his life, and he wrote about it in the classic “5 Bucks a Day” book, available at Amazon, or through a link in the resources section.
He also opened the Earn1KaDay “Insiders Club” in 2007 to help Internet marketers achieve their first $1000/day of profits by following proven, sometimes little-appreciated, business models to receive amazing results.

Nicole Dean
Nicole Dean is a Published Author, Popular Speaker, Successful Blogger and Podcaster, and a Business Consultant to really smart people. She is frequently asked to teach about the topics of Blogging, Outsourcing, Passive Income, Working from Home Successfully, Content Repurposing, Running a Profitable Affiliate Program, Productivity, and List Building – among other things.
Nicole has been featured in several books, and has published many of her own Kindle books as well. One of her greatest talents is getting other successful and talented people to write content for her – for free. In fact, her book series “Expert Briefs” is mostly written by her colleagues.
She teaches her students to set financial goals, but to also write down their lifestyle goals, as well. This ensures that they are building a business that aligns with the way they want their lives to look in 5 or 10 years, rather than creating a job where they are working for a crazy person – themselves.
But, Nicole isn’t stuffy by any means. She is known as the Mostly-Sane Marketer. (Ask anyone who knows her and they’ll say that the “mostly” part is up for debate!)
Her Mission is To Make the Web and the World a Better Place – and, Hopefully Have a Lot of Fun While Doing It. She enjoys work very much, but lives to spend time with her much-adored husband, her two silly children – and also her two slightly neurotic puppies, Einstein & Luke. She loves to travel and has a great belly laugh that can be heard in a very crowded room. She’s also a bit geeky (has been to a Star Trek convention and knows James T. Kirk’s middle name). But she’s got a super soft heart and does work with orphans (including helping adopting families with the process) and she also fosters dogs who are in transition from an abused or neglectful situation into a new loving homes. She also loves doing jigsaw puzzles with her Gramma every chance she gets.
