StomperNet Evolution?
The Evolution of an Internet Marketing Titan. Today, StomperNet announces that the management isn't the only thing about to change.
StomperNet IS changing... but it's only becoming better for you, our customers and subscribers!
July 30, 2009 - Last week, Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon negotiated the future of their online school of IM education, StomperNet. When they emerged, Brad Fallon was the new CEO and Andy Jenkins was moving to California. Each is pleased with the turn of events. And each other.
"That's about the size of it," reports Jenkins. "It's really that simple. People are speculating like crazy about what kind of behind-the-scenes dramatics went on, but it's something far more boring: I was ready to pass the StomperNet baton in order to work on other stuff. Brad was ready to take it."
"The only fireworks are those we see happening online with all the gossip and rumors." chuckles Brad Fallon "Frankly, we were surprised by how much everyone cared! Happy…but surprised."
But it's no wonder this announcement has caused so much speculation. StomperNet, which opened its doors in October 2006, has been the talk of the IM space for years. They broke records when they first launched, selling over 2000 membership slots, at a price point of $10,000/year (Or $800/month.) Over the last three years, they’ve assembled a faculty of world-class subject matter experts on virtually every aspect of internet marketing. This faculty guides and educates their members (who refer to themselves a "Stompers.")
Jenkins, Fallon and this esteemed StomperNet faculty have also compiled the largest, most comprehensive IM library of over 1400 videos, audios, and other online courses. They host a vibrant community of online entrepreneurs, who regularly share tips and advice in the famous StomperNet forums. Forums that are currently going almost 200,000 posts strong.
StomperNet Live events are also legendary, attracting top speakers from all over the world to address Stompers and help them grow their businesses. The popular “site review” section of the Live Events also makes StomperNet Live events extra unique. Attendees can submit their URL and enjoy a thorough one-on-one analysis of their site, conducted by a StomperNet faculty member. Attendees have called these personal reviews "priceless" and "the smartest thing I've ever done for my business."
As if that wasn't enough, last year StomperNet launched another new product. One that was – once more – unlike anything else seen in the IM market. Called "The Net Effect", this printed monthly journal is sent to subscribers in more than 200 countries, and is more handbook than magazine. Its focus? Teaching readers tactics and strategies that will allow them to maximize their presence (and profitability) online. Each issue features instructive, execution-focused articles penned by the StomperNet faculty and other featured writers. At the end of each issue is a summarizing checklist that combines all the action items discussed throughout of the magazine. Readers report that they love to tear these checklists out and work on them each month.
"As big as StomperNet is right now…we're about to get bigger." explains Fallon, "I can't go into the details yet, but suffice it to say that this Fall will see some incredible new offerings from StomperNet. Stuff people have been begging us to do for years now. We're incredibly excited about the future of StomperNet and our mission of supporting internet entrepreneurism around the world."

Hello
I registered, but don't know how to take full adwatage of the program.
Any instruction how to add info to the website?
Thanks
There's a lot of information in the site. I was a member but couldn't afford it anymore. If I were you I'd start with SMARTS and some of Dan Thies' stuff.
Wow! I never thought there could be a StomperNet without Andy. We'll certainly miss him, but look forward to a great StomperNet future!
Craig
I can't wait to start up SN again asap!
I must admit, I had to eat my words after watching the videos. There was a lot of knowledge that I didn't know but should of. And even more knowledge on how to tell the search engines what to take notice of and what to look for.
I'm going to miss Andy's sense of humor but bring it on….. I've been happily a Stomper for years!
Congrats Andy, I hope you will begin teaching Internet Marketing again sometime in the future.
I purchased Yahoo Store Profits all the way back in 2003!
Andy you will be missed. Thank you for all the information I have acquired since 2004. Wish you well in your new ventures.
I look forward to seeing what Brad's plans are for StomperNet. Although I haven't been around for a year and a half I always know where the real knowledge is on the Internet. Thank you StomperNet!
[...]Here is a press release from StomperNet, The authority of Internet Marketing and E-Commerce[...]
No! Don't go Andy! Just kidding, but you will be missed.
I've been with you guys since you first partnered a handfull
of years ago and have followed everything you've done since
then. Needless to say, I've learned a ton.
Best of luck Andy.
The evolution that has occurred in the business world since the advent of the Internet is not unlike the evolution that has occurred in the natural world.
Wow! I can't believe the dynamic duo is splitting. Quite a shocking day for Internet Marketing.
Wish both of you the best of luck. I'm sure Stompernet will continue to bring great value to all it's members, hopefully I'll be able to afford membership soon again. Miss you guys a ton.
And also wish Andy the best of luck. I'm sure he'll finally get to work on his passion for movies at some awesome hollywood studio producing great stuff we'll all get to see on the BIG screen! Now that'll be great! Hope it comes real Andy
Ok, that is all from China!

Dear Brad and Andy,
Both amazing businessmen and although maybe a little surprised, phenomenal organization is StomperNet! Am I sounding a little Star War'sy?
Andy, no doubt you will be coming out with some top notch super movies in the very near future. And Brad, you were stealthfully quiet about this at Launch Tree Live! Great presentation tho, looking forward to all great continuing things from StomperNet.
Hugs to you both

PS one day soon, hope to interview you both (impromptu), what I prefer…Authentic Social Marketer
I am very sorry to see Andy go, I like his laid-back style.
I was an early adopter of the original STSE and I have stuck with you guys.
But I suppose everything changes and that's just one of the things we all have to cope with.
Any way, a big THANK YOU to Andy from me and good luck in he future.
Regards
Lyndon
I'm pretty sure whatever the changes taking place, you guys are going to consistently provide the best, most engaging lessons an every sphere you touch upon. I have received a lot of valuable inputs from your releases and videos.
Thanks and will be looking forward to the same in the future.
sounds good im a member of stse2
Good Luck to Andy in California (my location). Please let us know what you will be doing next. Congratulations Brad and run with that baton! You really know the IM business and I'm sure you have more awesome material ready to roll.
Thanks for the update.
I'll be at StomperNet Live in Atlanta next week – can't wait! I'm really happy to hear that the StomperNet shakeup wasn't a falling out. This time next week I'll be hangin' out at the Downtown Atlanta Hyatt.
Best of luck in the future, Andy. Not that you need it, that's for sure. You changed my life, along with Brad Fallon. The second product I ever bought was the original STSE, back in March 2005, and it's given me a life I never even dared believe possible back then. Thanks Andy. As good as Stompernet is, and will be, it just won't be the same without you.
Thank you to both of you gentlemen for bringing credibility to an industry sorely in need of it.
Best to you, Andy. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of you down the road. If you're ever in the Malibu area, the beer is on me:>))
When I first came across StomperNet is was a couple of years ago. Back then it was expensive to join and thought they were another fly-by-night SEO training mob, so I didn't pay to much attention. But when they offered STSE2.0 for $1 I thought to myself here's my chance to test whether to not STOMPERNET has the goods.
Well I must admit, I had to eat my words after watching the videos. There was a lot of knowledge that I didn't know but should of. And even more knowledge on how to tell the search engines what to take notice of and what to look for.
I wouldn't of known this knowledge if it wasn't for the $1 deal Stompernet offered to their customers.
Thanks Stompernet.
Hello,
Indeed, all offers made by Stompernet are really great and a high professional level (I think all these were seen in time until now). O want only to send a big thank you for all your amazing work, very well thought …and the results of course.
All the best for you!
Doru
Looking forward to some of the changes, I am sure both are happy and will have some amazing new products coming out! Change is sometimes very good!
Special Thanks to Andy,
Been with you since i first found the Yahoo Store Builder program, I wish luck in your new ventures, Glad to hear Brad will continue Stopmernet. Unparalleled information, Thanks to all in Stompernet.
Got your CD program and get the Net Effect and have to say it is phenominal! I have just begun to dwelve into your fast world of IM! Being 45 and out of the computer loop, your instruction has been grand! I finally am actually starting to get what I am reading and able to start to apply it! Thank you for putting it out there so all can try and learn. Still stumbling but happy to have such a grand resource! Hope one day to be in your journal as a success story! Thanks!

Hey guys,
Changes are inevitable and it usually works out for the best if it's not forced. StomperNet will survive forever because you have nothing but leaders!
We wish Andy all the best. I feel like I know him personally with all the vidoes and tutorials. Can't wait to see what's in store for the future.
Andy, where are you going, and what the heck have you planned? We'll all miss you.
I hope stompernet will only get better after andy leaves and not the opposite, I suppose you always over deliver anyways, cant wait for the stomper future
I am waiting on the next big thing of StomperNet under Brad.
Andy, I'm very sorry to see you go. It was you who attracted me to Stompernet in the first place. I hope you are going to an ever better situation, although that's hard to imagine. Good luck to you. Stompernet just won't be the same without you.
Best wishes to both Brad and Andy in their new roles.
Hey Andy-
I for one am very sad you are leaving. I've been with you since I bought your Yahoo book in 2004. It is not an exaggeration to say that I owe both my online businesses to you and Brad.
I hope you will keep on helping us develop, because we Stompers need you.
Warmly,
Eliyahu Kane
P S I hope you aren't doing something stupid like going into movies. Online marketing is much more real and much more necessary. Leave movies to Lucas and Spielberg. They probably can't do anything else anyway.
Hi StomperNet
I'm so excited with what you are doing – you see, I'm also a trainer and I would like you to share with me what you have and vice versa.
Keep on stomping!
Zaharah
hahaha, Stompernet, the first company to send magazines to outer space!
PSst There are only 195 countries in the world
Sounds Great. Congratulations Andy
"Andy Jenkins was moving to California"
I am a StomperNet fan since 2008 and found that StomperNet has always cared to put out quality material for serious marketers.
I am sure that it will continue to pour out quality under new management.
The only thing is that I am still waiting for my affiliate check….
I get very excited with the advent of stompernet and their no nonsense approach to business on the internet. You have raised and made others accountable for being mediocre.
Keep it up.
Hey Good luck to Andy (can't wait to see what he's doing next) and of course to Stompernet and all the staff and faculty members.
You guys pump out the best stuff so even though this transition will be hard, I'm sure it will be worth it!
Good luck everyone!
Tony.
Yeah I heard the rumours yesterday. What matters to me is how stompernet develops and offers more affordable products.
Here's hoping…
Alex
I sure will miss Andys very humourous writing-style. Hopefully StomperNet will keep on delivering
Understanding where we've come from and where we are now can help companies position themselves for the environments of the future. The evolution that has occurred in the business world since the advent of the Internet is not unlike the evolution that has occurred in the natural world.
Sounds like Stompernet is gearing up for some serious shifting. Although I'm sure we'll all miss Andy's style, I'm looking forward to what's coming next.
Strangely, my skepticism hasn't shown it's face. Stompernet has always over delivered and I'd expect nothing less from you guys.
Sounds exciting, I'll be keeping an eye out.
Kindest regards,
John Dennis

This post has helped me to see the carrot at the end of the tunnel. Most SEO is a wild herring chase. I don't see how Google will help Millwall beat Leeds tonight at all.
