I love to tell success stories of those people who have been successful in life both financially and spiritually. Jermaine Griggs is one of those people and now is helping others do the same.
My own check last month from Click Bank was only a $156.00 promoting affiliate programs and my web site. I think what I am learning from Jermaine will help me increase that 10 fold. When Christians are financially stable they are much more able to care for their families as well as support God's work in the world.
The follow article is information about this young man and how he went from the ghettos to making 3 to 4 million a year. I thought you may find this of interest yourself.

About Jermaine Griggs,
Founder of Nitty
Gritty Marketing, Inc.
Jermaine Griggs (24 y.o.) is a minister, musician, entrepreneur, and public speaker. Having grown up in the inner city of Long Beach with just his mom and sister, he always envisioned life on the other side of the tracks. At the tender age of 16, he started Hear and Play Music, an instructional music company specializing in teaching piano by ear. With only $70, he bought the name HearandPlay.com and launched the company that would not only change his life but hundreds of thousands of musicians around the world through his books, dvds, and training courses.
Seven years later, over 2 million aspiring musicians download his online lessons every year and over 200,000 loyal students receive his regular newsletters. Having seen his company grow from a few hundred dollars a month into a million dollar business is nothing short of amazing and Jermaine is constantly reminded of his humble beginnings. He knows what it feels like to be on both sides of the track and shares his story with entrepreneurs all over the country regularly.

He is married to his high school sweetheart of seven years and has a 6-month old daughter named Jadyn. He is a graduate of University of California, Irvine, and currently resides in Orange County. He employs 5 staff and continues to expand as his business grows.
Through his latest venture, NittyGrittyMarketing.com, Jermaine is teaching people how to imitate his success through courses, an online membership club, and live seminars.
His future plans include real estate and speaking to inner city youth all over the country, encouraging them to have big dreams just like he did.
There are a lot of questions being asked, like who is this "Jermaine Griggs" guy came from overnight.
(I figured the people who asked me were fairly new to internet marketing because Jermaine's name first started being thrown around the internet as early as 2002).
That's right, he was first featured in Corey Rudl's "Secrets To Their Success" membership site in 2002. Shortly after, him and Corey recorded a 1-hour interview that has been seen by virtually every marketer who was around back then (if you've bought any of their stuff).
That's just the beginning because then Yanik Silver featured him in his 'Web Ad Magic' ebook. Dan Kennedy featured him in his "Ultimate Marketing Plan" book. Other featured books include "Weekend Entrepreneur," "How to Sell Anything On Yahoo," and more. He's been interviewed dozens of times from gurus in all industries... even featured teachers from "The Secret."
I guess if you asked Jermaine, he'd admit to being so focused on dominating his piano niche, that he never considered teaching people before what he knew until he started getting invited to speak at events like Yanik Silver's, Ryan Deiss's, Russell Brunson's, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, and others.

And my guess is that he'll shake up the internet marketing world because he brings a new, innovative perspective to it as an example set for others to follow. He's doing some things in his small piano niche that if applied to higher-priced markets, could double, triple, or even quadruple sales.
I'll try to get him to release some sneak peak movies of how he customizes virtually every third party service he uses (including 1shoppingcart) to increase the value of each sale and to automate the whole entire process.
I've seen him doing some things that ONLY he's doing... no one else. With that said, you'll want to get in on what he's doing.
Tuesday, October 23, 2007, he'll be launching his Nitty Gritty Marketing Private Access Club, where he'll reveal, month-after-month, every thing he's done to grow his business from $70 into a $3 million dollar empire --- teaching piano!
For now, get on his 'First Notification' list so you'll know the day he releases new sneak-peak videos. I promise these videos will get you to start thinking differently about your business (sometimes it takes other people to shake us up a little).
Here is what one article said about him.....
Lately, there's been some talk about this guy who's made over $3 million dollars in the past few years teaching people how to play piano by ear (...out of all things).
Normally I ignore earning claims and screen shots because I know how easy it is for people to take their best months and make you think they're making that regularly.
Well, Jermaine Griggs, is different. He shows a video of his sales from 2002-2007. You actually see him go from making $2000 to months of $112,000+... but I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that he makes this much as a piano teacher (and 80% of his products are focused around gospel music at that).

But this video offers much more than just 4 minutes of bragging. I learned it several things from it:
1) That everyone starts somewhere. Prior to this video(2000-2002), as you'll soon see, he talks about struggling to make $300. $500 was a good month.
2) That it is possible to double and triple sales from one month to the next. In 2003, the video clearly shows him going from making around $15,000 to $40,000 the next month. This isn't the only time this happens.
3) That it's possible to grow sales drastically year after year. His movie points out times when he "never made less than $10,000/month again" and when he "never made less than $20,000/month again" and so on... all the way up to $50,000+. Yes, we all have ups and downs but wouldn't you like to proclaim that you'll never make LESS THAN A CERTAIN amount again?
4) That it doesn't matter how old you are or where you've come from. He was 17-years old when he started and came from very humble beginnings (more on this later).

So watch the video for yourself. He'll be launching something very special on Tuesday, October 23, 2007 and trust me when I say, it will be the talk of the season.
His name is Jermaine Griggs and he's finally revealing how he took $70 and built a multi-million dollar business, (get this...), teaching people how to play piano by ear.
But you may have heard all this already. After all, his story has been featured all over the Internet for the past several years.
What I'm excited about is what he's going to be revealing in his new Nitty Gritty Marketing Private Access Club, which is launching on October 23, 2007.
Here are some of the videos you'll find in Nitty Gritty Marketing Private Access Club:
# [VIDEO] The evolution of my company from a $500/month to a $1,000,000 a year operation and what had to change in order for us to get to the next level.
# [VIDEO] My personalization and follow-up strategies that literally force customers to pour their hearts out to me (well, technically to my customer service reps).
# [VIDEO] Real-life tactics I'm using on my website to skyrocket conversions (like "day of the week" and "day of the month" customized audio messages).
# [VIDEO] How I use web 2.0 tactics to drive traffic to all of my product sales pages.
# [VIDEO] How I started an interactive community from the ground up and grew it to over 72,000 members within 14 months.
I really enjoyed his piano playing and his presentations as well as his honesty and humbleness. Many more Christians could also make inroads intot the Internet marketing business if they took a cue from men like Jeimaine and Jimmy Brown.
Look at some of his other videos:
1) "Why Customers Buy"
2) "Do You Have All Bases Covered?"
3) "How To Become A 1-Minute Programmer"
4) "The 4-Step Sales Process"
