Defeating The Digital Delusions
Are you seeing limited success, but knowing that you can do better?
If you want to work smarter, not harder, then please Help Me Fund A Self-Published Book About Taking Back Control of the Online Industry
"The Digital Delusion: How to overcome the misinformation, confusion and clutter online to become the leader in your industry".
Are You Ready to Make A Difference?
The Digital Delusion book brings years of real industry practice, real business experience and real results together so that business leaders and entrepreneurs can move beyond the hype and confusion to become truly remarkable online. Many businesses are failing to get the leads and sales online that they were promised.The 7 Deadly Digital Delusions - The Animation
This book is at the intersection of digital innovation and entrepreneurship. I've been building a unique digital strategy and implementation plan for entrepreneurs wanting to get the most out of all of their online activities. We're getting past the clutter and confusion of all things digital.

To get my book to print, and to help hundreds of people to create successful online businesses, I need your help! I’m looking for business leaders and entrepreneurs to fund the first print of my book and become an important part of a new way of thinking about digital business.
I’ve written the book – although I have kept a few spaces for new case studies, success stories and horror stories that you can purchase a reward if you want your own business highlighted! I already run successful workshops, speaking engagements and consulting programs on the Digital Delusions – the book is just the next step in the journey.
If you are successful in business but not seeing the same level of success through your digital business, this book will provide the breakthrough you need. And while I might have a bit of fun with the magician and his tricks in my graphics, succeeding in digital comes down to the fact that you can learn some cool tricks, or you can grow your business. Your choice. I’m about growing businesses.
If you are in SEO, media, PPC, SMM, ad agencies or any other acronym out there related to digital media – this is important for you too. Some of the problems are specific to the industry itself. You can get better results for your clients by learning about the Digital Delusions and their counter-actions!
It’s confusing out there – all the social media hype (are people actually doing business or just getting ‘likes’?), SEO, content marketing… And to be honest, a lot of the current ‘advice’ and ‘expertise’ being shared just doesn’t work. I’ve been dong this for more than a decade – I’ve followed a lot of that same advice and listened to the same experts. It takes a lot of time and effort to work through it all and find out what really works. And that is what I’ve done.

If you want to know a bit more about the insights I’ll be covering in the book, here is a short animation on the 7 Deadly Digital Delusions – that is, the 7 incorrect ideas people have that stop them from succeeding online:

If you like what you see, and you want to create a remarkable digital business and become an industry leader, pledge now!
I'm also setting some big business goals as well, with this project and the ensuing activities. I want to be able to help at least 1000 businesses get to the level of success that they believe that they can be at, online. Can you imagine how powerful it would be to businesses and entrepreneurs around the world to be able to accomplish this. Please help me get there.![]()
This is an "all or nothing" crowd funded campaign, which means if I don't hit my target of $5,625 in 60 days the project does not go ahead. The money you pledge will only be transferred if I reach my goal.
By pledging you are contributing directly towards the campaign and the more you pledge the bigger the reward.
All of the pledges include at least one signed copy of the book. This all includes shipping to your location.
We've even added a special pledge to get some of these books into the hands of schools and entrepreneur groups, to further provide some training and education at grassroots level. If you are all about helping others, this is a great pledge for you – and one that means a lot to me.
We don’t just need people to pledge – we need people to help us spread the word! So please, share the link to this page via Twitter, Facebook, Google%20 and anywhere else you hang out online, send a good old-fashioned email to friends and family who might be interested, or simply tell people about it!
And, if you want to get involved with the book, please let me know.
You can do this by pledging for one of the rewards that gets you involved in the book – provide a case study, assist with editing and even telling us your online horror stories. If you are involved in the digital industry please share your experiences and knowledge too – we want to create a strong educational aspect to the book so shared industry knowledge from a variety of sources can add a lot of value.
As I’ve said, I’ve written the core content but I WANT YOUR HELP WITH THE BOOK. I am looking for businesses and entrepreneurs to contribute to the book – my new digital framework is already working with a number of key businesses but I would love more stories. Grab one of the rewards to the right to be involved.
The book will be ready for printing August 2013. The book is ISBN registered.
Take a look at our introductory book launch page - www.digitaldelusion.info here.
If you can't contribute, it doesn't mean that you can't help. Please share this campaign with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, or send to your email friends who you think might be interested in this project.

Why Fund a Book?
Well, not just any book but THIS book.
I believe that I have created an honest and reliable approach to digital business that cuts through the confusion and clutter of information. My work with a number of real businesses has shown that my system works to create remarkable online business success.
As entrepreneurs, business owners and digital marketing professionals, this book can directly assist you to achieve this success. And I personally want to share this knowledge with as many entrepreneurs and businesses as I can to help them succeed too.
My goal is to change the industry from the inside out. This is how you can become a key part of this. This is where I need your help.
I want business leaders and entrepreneurs to gather together and take matters into their own hands; to get the job done properly, without the distractions, without the misinformation.![]()
Not the Last Chapter.
We’re turning digital media on its head with this book. I believe that every one who even considers themselves to be “online” can develop a new focus on what is important and what is critical for their business and the industry as a whole. I believe that we can empower every single business online that wants to become remarkable, and is not satisfied with what is happening.
It won’t end with the book.
There has never been a better time to becoming remarkable with your business, to be a true entrepreneur online. Many years from now, you will be able to look back and see how much you empowered yourself. And, how you contributed to getting this book into the hands of the entrepreneurs that really are making things happen. You will become part of the solution that everyone can gain from. It is about changing the industry from the inside out, about empowering you, the entrepreneur.
I’m excited to have you on board to share in the success, to share how far we can go. Thanks for funding this project and building a new framework for all businesses to succeed with.
Please join our community that is changing the online industry one entrepreneur at a time.
I'm always excited to hear about how things are working online for others.
