About Me

You want to know something about me, eh? My name is Anthony S. Browne. I was born in Barbados and at age 19 made a career move to Montserrat. I got married and immigrated to New York, U.S.A. My wife and I soon started a family and we raised our son Conroy Dexter Browne.

I consider it necessary to document my career setbacks. They tell the story about me. My wish is that you'll be encouraged whatever your own circumstances.

My first career set back occurred four years after I arrived in New York. I was denied promotion to manager at a large publishing company. The reason given, “corporate policy states, the manager must have a college degree”, which I didn't have. I vowed no one will ever tell me that again.

For this very reason, I enrolled at the highly respected business college, The Bernard M. Baruch College of The City University of New York. I also resigned from the publishing company and joined the third largest Commercial Bank in New York City. I felt it offered security and career advancement. Best of all, it reimbursed tuition fees. Five years later I graduated with the Degree of Bachelor of Business Administration: Major Accounting, Minor Advertising and Marketing.

My Serious Life Changes

My marriage ended in a divorce. Notwithstanding, I remarried on July 8, 1989. Four months after my wedding day,and three months after I contracted to purchase a brand new home, I was downsized. This was my second career setback, after 16 years of smooth sailing at the bank, I felt offered security. This changed my entire viewpoint on work.

The first career set back required I follow the rules. The second career set back, I played by the rules, obtained the college degree, performed well and obtained several promotions from junior accountant up to manager in the Corporate Reporting Department.

As a result, I became extremely angry and distrust being an employee ever again. And to this date, I never worked as an employee. I pursued Network Marketing as self-employment.

About a year after my downsize, I was offered a home Bible study. What I learned allowed me to let go of my anger. I was baptized June,1993 and from that day and up to this day, I follow the commission Jesus gave his first century followers to preach and to teach. This without a doubt the most important aspect about me.

The Internet and My Relocation to Barbados

After my Dad's death concern for Mum's day-to-day affairs, grew more and more. To the point I relocated to Barbados July,1999. I was confident with the Internet, I'll find an income producer and continue my preaching commission.

I searched and discovered a perfect fit. Every aspect seemed to be really about me and my secular training in accounting, finance, advertising, marketing and network marketing. The only thing new for me, the products were viral and the marketing tool the internet. To accelerate company growth, the president offered an International Seminar Presenters Course.

I applied, was accepted and became the first qualified Virtual Millionaire System® Certified International Seminar Presenter in the Caribbean for this International Multi-million Dollar Network Marketing Company.

I opened the company in Barbados at my own expense. Purchasing video projector, laptop, renting hotel space etc. In less than two years due to the Internet, this company operated in over 70 countries.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, I arrived in the lobby of a hotel, to secure space for a meeting. On the television sets in the lobby were the horrific 911 scenes. That single incident changed so much, including how companies conduct business.

Much to my pain and disappoint came another career set back. In August 2005, I received a letter from the president of the company, stating they were discontinuing ALL International Memberships. That ended my association with my perfect match.

I still had confidence in network marketing, as one of the brilliant principles of capitalism and free enterprise. A marketing system, that is both a people multiplier and a productivity multiplier.

And discovered a Network Marketing Multi-Media Advertising Company. Again this was all about me and my background: advertising, marketing and now my most recent education, use of the Internet. In July, 2008, I joined this company and observed up to 10,000 sign-ups per week: large, medium and small reputable companies and individual website owners from all over the world eager to advertise their websites with this media company.

This company's tremendous growth and large financial banking transactions, placed it on the Feds radar. A State Attorney General seized the company's assets. Oh no, not again, another career set back!

Two things suddenly hit me. First, the international interest in this phenomenon internet advertising. Second, I was not in control of my financial future, others were and that did it for me!

I was fully aware of the many benefits of website ownership, but never took action. This time, I contracted for my own website right from Barbados with the use of the Internet and e-mail with the website host company and support systems in Montreal, Canada and worked with a website design specialist in Texas, U.S.A. Executed every aspect of interface on the internet, via email in a timely fashion, without even one telephone conversation.

I followed SiteSell Inc. recommendations on web page building. My website first 10 pages were completed on September 02, 2008 . I reached my 30-page milestone October 17, 2008, reached my 40 pages on October 30, 2008. At this point, I should have started to monetize.

But the economic crises got worst and I built two more relevant pages. “Internet advertising effectiveness in current recession or economic downturn” and “e-learning Internet Advertising Opportunity.” Afterward, I decided an e-Book will get the story to the general public, at a personal level, better than the website. So I set about to write this e-book.

This project was like a fire inside my bones, from then right down to the press release. What's more, every day the news further convinced me to continue with the e-Book. I realized people needed this information. I watched the experts on Television, their advice reminded me of what Perry Marshall of Ad Words fame said about his own situation: “It was like asking a drowning man to drink water.” Whereas, I knew that I had something of value to share that really works.

Here's why...

In less than seven months, Google keyword search gave my website high rankings on 11 pages. Why this quick success and what is the main point?

This provides the complete answer and proof that Site Built It tools, website practices and methods work.

There is more evidence...

Statuses, Residence and Circumstances Doesn't Matter

My surreal experience is proof that the Internet and Internet advertising are great levelers. They really leveled my playing field.

Look at this proof.

My statuses are: a downsized person, retired senior citizen, a divorcé, new website owner, a minority, a black man, a resident in a developing country, Barbados. Which may have counted against me in something else, but doesn't matter at all with a website or internet advertising.

Who can argue with this undeniable proof that Internet Advertising is a great leveler? More than that, people in every nation on earth, whatever their statuses can also be similarly empowered: across continents, across industries, across careers and across businesses of every size.

Why We Must Both Will And Act

The Problem: A friend Jonathan Tucker gave me this advise years ago. “The problem is not the problem, because you are imperfect, you live in an imperfect world ruled by imperfect men, so you surely can't expect perfection. The truth is you're certainly going to have problems. So your problem is NOT the problem, but what you do with the problem is really the problem.” This truism served me well, for example...

What would happen if, I viewed my career set backs: the network marketing company's no international representatives policy, or the government's seizure of assets as the problem and did nothing to change? That would have really been a problem. Perhaps you are facing serious problem(s), as a result of this global economic recession. What are you going to do?

Made it Just in Time

During the past three years, dementia ravaged my mother's memory. She sits and looks at me not knowing who I am. Her long term memory allows her to recall, she had a son whose name is Anthony and he lives in America.

She cannot perform normal daily functions. When I attend to her physical needs she says: “What is your name again? Thank you for taking care of me, God is going to bless you for what you do for me.” Little does she know,God has already blessed me.

Eleven years ago He nudged me to return home. At that time Mum lived on her own and functioned very well. To the extent, quite often she would telephone and invite my wife and I over for some favorite Barbadian dish. Our conversations gave evidence of her indelible imprint on my formative years. I cherish what we relived, because Mum cannot converse with me now. So I made it home just in time.

If I remained in America over the last eleven years and returned to see Mum in her present condition, it would have broken my heart. And even if those years provided wealth like King Solomon, it couldn't sooth my pain or justify my stay.

Yes, I am back home in Barbados. I press on making “sure of the more important things.”

My website makes it possible for me to work from home and be available to personally care for Mum.

That's it about me.

If Internet advertising can do so much for me, just imagine what it can do for YOU!
