Two great quotes by a great man, who achieved great results in his chosen field of expertise:

“It’s hard to be humble when you’re as great as I am” – Muhammad Ali

“It ain’t bragging if you can back it up” – Muhammad Ali

To paraphrase Ali with regard to BOTH quotes, on behalf of many competent experts, I’d say:

“It’s hard to to be humble when you’re SURE you can deliver solutions that work!” (That’s why experts who know their stuff rarely have difficulty CONFIDENTLY seeking out and telling potential clients what they can do for them).

Are you a cost-conscious and results focused business owner? This article explains why my ideas about Making Money Using Low to Zero Cost Web Marketing to Attract Profitable Buyers, should SERIOUSLY interest you.

For starters, the increasingly international recognition I enjoy (along with sales I make) today, as a trusted provider of multidisciplinary solutions, is based 100% on MY diligent use of the exact same strategies I advocate for adoption by others.

Not all of us can earn “super star celebrity” mentions that transform us into household names. In my opinion, NOT all of us need that kind of exposure to achieve our own definitions of success. But in the various niche markets we serve, we can achieve decent levels of “fame” that command reliable returns in form of new clients/buyers.

For instance, I am a practitioner, and advocate, of what I call “Silent Success”.

Briefly, by that phrase I mean achieving your set goals (financially and otherwise) without soliciting undue publicity. There are people wealthier than “celebrities” we see showing off riches on TV. They just don’t feel a need to tell the whole world, to prove it (Read “The Millionaire Next Door”).

That’s the philosophy I subscribe to – and it’s working for me.

My primary target audience preferentially get told what I’m doing and how it’s working well, for me, so I can interest them in getting similar results.

The result is that an increasing number of people in my growing network – especially on social media – are actual clients, or persons who discovered my work and chose to subscribe to my website newsletter. Most go further and connect with me on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google Plus, Youtube etc.

I am getting the notifications on an increasingly frequent basis. Every now and then there’s a new follower, new friend request, new like, multiple likes and page views etc.

It was NOT this good 3 to 5 years ago.

Just 3 years ago, most of the platforms I was on yielded little or no returns similar to the above. They were close to being dead. It was mainly my website and Youtube channels that delivered a decent stream of pre qualified prospects to me via search engine results.

Today, I can tell you that I continue to win more subscribers and clients who discover and reach out to me via Facebook, Twitter and Google plus. That is, in addition to the continued traffic of enquiries from my website and Youtube videos.

In other words, this is proof that I’m proficient at getting it right – and I continue to improve. My hard work of carefully studying and investigating and testing various experts’ ideas is paying off.

I must however add that it was NOT easy to get this far…and it’s NOT easy to keep it going either

Indeed, I would say I took a major leap forward as a direct result of a major crisis in my website ownership 2 years ago, that would ordinarily have killed my brand off completely.

Here’s what happened…..

In May 2014, my 9 year old website, which had garnered hundreds of quality back links (via my diligent article marketing syndication) and enjoyed quality traffic of pre qualified prospects was taken over by my former web hosts.

Suddenly, typing that URL led ALL the links to it (dating back 9 solid years) to a holding page. Next thing I knew, I was getting offers from the hosting company to buy my domain back at $75 USD!

What they did not count on was that I had been a diligent student of web marketing, checking what had been working for me, since 2005, and narrowing down to the truths about what was required for reproducible web marketing success.

By the time they pulled their stunt (read full story here), I had already come to the firm conviction that a domain name NO LONGER determined web marketing success – or failure.

So, I responded by laughing in the web host’s face, telling them to KEEP the domain, and announcing that TayoSolagbade.com, which I’d registered a year before, would be used to host all my website files.

Since I had over the years invested BLOOD tinged hours of sleepless nights learning web development, and using it to serve clients, for a fee, I naturally had the skills to carry out my threat and implement my plan.

Less than a month later, my website was back up – but on the new domain, and I proceeded to predict that it would turn out to be a reincarnated version of Spontaneousdevelopment.com on steroids. Within a period of 6 months, I’d recorded results proving that I was right.

Today, the massive visibility my web marketing system is giving me is apparent.

Indeed, it is likely that YOU, reading this, most likely found me via a search engine or other marketing platforms. Only few visitors to this website can claim to have been directly invited by me to visit.

Except those I go out of my way to offer what I consider potentially useful information or resources, I generally let my Web Marketing System do its work of attracting people who fit my target audience profile to contact me on their own.

For the uninitiated, a lot of the claims I’ve made here would probably sound like magic – or lies. Well, I’m sorry if you refuse to accept the reality of Web Marketing success that can be yours using proven strategies like mine.

However, I refuse to let your unbelief, or unwillingness to believe, keep me from letting others know they can dramatically boost the marketing reach and impact of their business promotion efforts, at a fraction of the conventional costs.

That is what the system I use, and which I recommend for adoption by others, does.

The best part is that there is NOTHING haphazard about my methods.

I know exactly what to do, and how to do it to get the same or better results. Even if I have to start all over again from scratch, it would only be a matter of time, before I begin getting the results all over again.

This is no exaggeration or attempt at bragging, but simply a statement of fact, based on my years of proven expertise.

There are certain things one can simply NOT afford to be shy about.

This is one of them.

People need my help, and it’s important that I make it available to as many as are willing to take it.
