Early 1997 Mike G became involved in the new emerging World Wide Web.

1997 One of Mike’s companies was the first to give away web sites Based upon fill in the blank templates. Giving away over 60,000 sites with an average income of $24.50 per month from the extensive list of options made available. Like email connected to the site, auto responder, photos, opt in form, order form ETC.

1997 Mike developed several new methods of marketing and direct marketing strategies for the Internet, such as

1) The first company to offer an affiliate program

2) The first company to develop a privacy statement on the page where any prospect was asked to enter any information about themselves otherwise at the time the methodology was the Privacy Statement always was shown on another page, i.e., distracting the prospect from taking action on the order form. This practice now which reads basically “We promise never to rent or sell or share your information with anyone for any reason”. This method is widely in use to this day as marketers have learned not to distract a prospect from the call-to-action page.

1999 Mike G developed both BannerCo-Op and then BannersGoMLM. BannersGoMLM was, and is, a free network marketing program rewarding the members not with money, but with advertising and a system which provided for a one-to-one exchange. In other words, every time a banner was hosted and seen on a member’s page, that member would earn a credit to have their banner posted on another member’s page. It was wildly successful and built one of the largest databases at the time on the internet.

2001 Mike G was asked by the senator with auspices over the authorities to prepare a white paper which led to several important modifications to the now existing spam laws.

2008 We’ll fast forward. Mike G, this year and the next, earned the distinction of sponsoring more people into a network marketing program than had ever been done. 11,000+ people in program one, over 5500+ people in program two, and over 5300+ people in program three. And we are not speaking of downlines, but directly sponsored members into three different network marketing companies.

Mike G. has gone on to become one of the most prolific website owners and marketers on the internet.

Every week on Tuesday evenings at 7pm Eastern, Mike G has for years hosted a free conference call/ podcast teaching people specifically, “How to be a better you.” It’s all about marketing. It’s all about sales. It’s all about life and success.
