My idea is that when I find some thing of quality, I would share it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, there are still plenty of quality free ebooks and reports about IM available (if anything, the number is growing) and I am still finding more and more really good ones. I have not run out of things to talk about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What I am running short on is Time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is a good thing. My business is finally taking off and I am devoting more and more time to it. You can check out most of my content websites simply be visiting &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/"&gt;MyEverydayLife&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During a period of learning about blogs, I started several of them that I have since decided to discontinue and a few that have actually taken off and done very well such as &lt;a href="http://bestcopycatrestaurantrecipes.blogspot.com/"&gt;The Best Copycat Restaurant Recipes Blog&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/lists/"&gt;Everyday Lists&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet Marketing for FREE was "kinda inbetween" failure and success. Which is why it is... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not Leaving --- Just Moving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a second Internet Marketing Blog which started out with the purpose of chronicling my journey from beginnner to (hopefully) successful Internet Marketer. As time has gone on I realize that having the two separate blogs is silly. So I am moving the contents of this blog to &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/"&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I hope to continue to track my progress while also sharing any good deals and quality educational materials I find.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;So thank you for visiting Internet Marketing for Free, please visit &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/"&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Good Luck with YOUR Internet Marketing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6956403893695805354-5717793296230529377?l=internet-marketing-for-free.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://internet-marketing-for-free.blogspot.com/feeds/5717793296230529377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6956403893695805354&amp;postID=5717793296230529377' title='35 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6956403893695805354/posts/default/5717793296230529377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6956403893695805354/posts/default/5717793296230529377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://internet-marketing-for-free.blogspot.com/2008/04/moving-day.html' title='Moving Day'/><author><name>Mark Hester</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11072514726317858745</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>35</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956403893695805354.post-3235222999875567958</id><published>2008-03-05T14:08:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-03-05T14:09:55.270-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Save Money With 3 Unbelievably Free Online Marketing Methods</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;By &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Fendi_Salim"&gt;Fendi Salim&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If budget is your main concern when marketing online or when you just started out, no on can blame you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everyone wants to save and spend as little as they can promoting their products or websites. While it takes effort, it can save you a whole lot of money in the long run.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A lot of free internet marketing services are now made available online and you can utilize them for your marketing campaigns. There is a lot of information online actually which are readily made available at no cost to everyone. You just need to find them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are 3 free online marketing methods that you can use and save money as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method 1&lt;/strong&gt; - Submit your website to search engines, web directories, blog directories, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are a lot of places where you can submit your website for free and the best places to submit them are directories. Directories have an authority on the internet as a site that holds relevant links and information divided into separate categories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So you get free backlinks your websites plus the traffic that comes from these directories and search engines. It takes some effort though to be submitting to a whole lot of them and you can do that a few times a day or week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method 2&lt;/strong&gt; - Enhance your content articles&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have been writing and placing content on your website, it is time to take a look at your writing and improve on it. Use free keyword research tools to optimize your future content and doing so will bring you up higher in the search engine rankings and that equates to free traffic for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can also update your old articles and content periodically to suit the current market. Again this is free and only takes up your time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method 3&lt;/strong&gt; - Use the widely available free articles&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you cannot write or you are just plain lazy, you can try getting free articles from the various article directories as content for your website. Some of these articles have keyword optimized articles and if not many people are using them and if they rank high on the search engines, you could be having the same results as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just ensure that you give the proper credit to the authors by retaining the resource box of the articles. You do not want to get into trouble with copyrights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you have profits rolling in, you can invest them by outsourcing these methods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Discover 4 Simple Steps to starting a successful online business and the ONE thing you must have otherwise you'll flush everything else down the drain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get your FREE Report here =&gt; &lt;a href="http://talkhomebusinessblog.com/4steps/" target="_new"&gt;"4 Steps To Starting A Successful Online Business"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more &lt;a href="http://talkhomebusinessblog.com/" target="_new"&gt;make money online&lt;/a&gt; ideas, tips, tools and reviews visit &lt;a href="http://talkhomebusinessblog.com/" target="_new"&gt;http://talkhomebusinessblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6956403893695805354-3235222999875567958?l=internet-marketing-for-free.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://internet-marketing-for-free.blogspot.com/feeds/3235222999875567958/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6956403893695805354&amp;postID=3235222999875567958' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6956403893695805354/posts/default/3235222999875567958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6956403893695805354/posts/default/3235222999875567958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://internet-marketing-for-free.blogspot.com/2008/03/save-money-with-3-unbelievably-free.html' title='Save Money With 3 Unbelievably Free Online Marketing Methods'/><author><name>Mark Hester</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11072514726317858745</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956403893695805354.post-7748018911726425310</id><published>2008-02-27T16:26:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-29T08:14:42.042-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ebooks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MyEverydayLife.net'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Everyday Internet Marketing'/><title type='text'>I Am Getting in on this Giving Away FREE Stuff</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Yes, I have seen the light.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, I have known all along that giving away valuable information is a good way to build up a customer base.

In #3 she makes much the same point I made in my last two posts and in the last three post on &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/"&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jinger runs a blog that is very similar to what I have in mind to build here. She has been at it longer and has a wealth of free information and products for download.  Check her site out at the link at the bottom.  I highly recommend it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------- &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;As an affiliate marketer, it is sometimes much easier to make money online. After all, you don't have to focus on product creation or customer service. Once you build your affiliate website, or sites, then you can simply focus on marketing those sites and then collecting the paychecks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although there are many tactics you can use to increase the size of your affiliate paychecks, here are three that will help you quickly boost your affiliate commissions:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;These three tactics are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Create a unique page to promote each of the affiliate products that you are selling.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each page should be optimized for the search engines, and you should write a keyword rich review of the product. Include the product name in the title, as well as in the body of the review. Often searchers will search for a product by name, and this can really help you with your search engine rankings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Learn as much about the product as you can before you write your review, and buy the product if you can. You'll write a better review because you'll know things about the product that the average affiliate doesn't know. Testimonials from customers, photos of the product, and articles about the topic the product is related to will also help support your review.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Internet searchers also love reviews because it's a chance for them to find out more about the products they are interested in buying.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although it's a lot more time consuming to create a unique page for each product you are promoting, in the long run, it's a lot better for your business because you have more to offer than the average affiliate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Build a list by giving away free reports.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most affiliates don't bother to build a list, and so they have to work harder to get traffic instead of simply recycling the traffic they have. Also, because they tend to use the ads and other promotional materials that the merchant offers, instead of creating their own, they lose their opportunity to be unique and make the sale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you can write a short report on your topic/affiliate product, you are way ahead of other affiliates. This is an opportunity for you to offer your potential customers more information, and it also gives them an incentive to join your list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;You benefit because it gives you an opportunity to recycle your traffic by allowing you to send multiple sales messages to your readers. Readers are more likely to buy if they have a relationship with you, and they've been exposed to the product offering more than one time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Drive targeted traffic to your website.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The difference between targeted traffic and untargeted traffic is that targeted traffic usually comes from those who are looking for what you have to offer. They are more receptive to buying.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to search engine optimization, you can also write articles to submit for publication on article directories, as well as ezines. Since most ezine directories don't accept articles with affiliate links in them anymore, it's crucial that you have your own website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try to write at least two articles per week, and make sure they are at least 300 to 600 words. Write and submit consistently as this is the easiest way to ensure a steady flow of traffic to your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although there are many tactics you can use to increase your affiliate commissions, I have found these three to be some of the most highly effective. Although they do take some time to implement, they will help you substantially increase your profits from your affiliate business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like these tips?

It is a wonderful course and should be required viewing for every aspiring internet marketer -- whether she has money or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I did lie was when I said that I was going to find out if Bum Marketing works. Actually that not exactly true -- I read about Bum Marketing some time ago and I have been putting it to practice. What I am going to do now is USE it consistantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because I know Bum Marketing works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll show you. Type "cheap bbq ideas" into Google. Here, I'll do it for you &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=cheap+bbq+ideas&amp;amp;btnG=Search" target="_blank"&gt;cheap bbq ideas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Look at #4. As of this writing #4 is me. Not my site, mind you, but an article I wrote from a directory called Search Warp. If you read my piece on article marketing on &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/" target="_blank"&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing&lt;/a&gt; you know how this works. I place the article on the article directory and people read it. My link is at the bottom and some people click it. Unfortunately The Weekend Grillers is not on page one for "cheap bbq ideas" -- but fortunately, thanks to article marketing and Bum Marketing, a link to The Grillers is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's just one. "Anything can happen one time." Sure...okay, try:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=cheap+bbq+" target="_blank"&gt;cheap BBQ&lt;/a&gt; -- #6 from SearchWarp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=grilling+problems" target="_blank"&gt;grilling problems&lt;/a&gt; -- #4 &amp; 5 from Ezine Articles (Hey! The 'Grillers are #8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=mike+linnig%27s&amp;amp;btnG=Search" target="_blank"&gt;Mike Linnig's&lt;/a&gt; -- #8 from SearchWarp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=big+cause+of+infertility&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;start=10&amp;amp;sa=N" target="_blank"&gt;One big cause of Infertility&lt;/a&gt; -- #14&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=smoking+effects+on+the+body" target="_blank"&gt;smoking effects on the body&lt;/a&gt; -- #9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=3+biggest+myths+of+infertility" target="_blank"&gt;3 biggest myths of infertility&lt;/a&gt; -- #3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and the topper--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=%22cold+turkey+doesn%27t+work%22" target="_blank"&gt;cold turkey doesn't work&lt;/a&gt; -- #1, 2 and 3!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How is this possible?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's the thing that makes Bum Marketing work as Travis discovered. These articles are ranking higher on the article directories than the same articles on my sites (yes, all of them are on the sites also) because of the "ranking power" of the directory. My sites are brand to fairly new. As such they have very few links to help gain page rank. These directories have thousands of incoming links and very high page ranks in Google (Ezine Articles had a 7 last I checked.) Bum Marketing is nothing more than "using" the "ranking power" of the directories for your own gain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does this bother me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course not. If it is still happening in a couple of years, then yes, it will bother me. Because by that time I hope that I have built my sites up to a point that they are ranking highly for their keywords in Google. Until I can do that, I will take the link from the directories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And one more, before we go, to prove beyond a doubt that Bum Marketing works -- type in &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=weekend+grillers" target="_blank"&gt;Weekend Grillers.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I rest my case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS -- Send me examples that you find -- either ones from your efforts and sites or others. I will post all I get (uh, within reason.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6956403893695805354-828713220646565008?l=internet-marketing-for-free.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://internet-marketing-for-free.blogspot.com/feeds/828713220646565008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6956403893695805354&amp;postID=828713220646565008' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6956403893695805354/posts/default/828713220646565008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6956403893695805354/posts/default/828713220646565008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://internet-marketing-for-free.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-was-not-entirely-truthful-in-my-last.html' title='I was NOT Entirely Truthful in my Last Post -- Shame on Me!'/><author><name>Mark Hester</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11072514726317858745</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956403893695805354.post-1218246769181216297</id><published>2008-02-14T20:24:00.010-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-16T12:42:32.946-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bum Marketing'/><title type='text'>Bum Marketing</title><content type='html'>Over on my &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/"&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing&lt;/a&gt; website I have been writing about my triumphs and setbacks as I work on the &lt;a href="http://www.plrpro.com/home.php?&amp;amp;aff_id=2838" target="_blank"&gt;90 Day Challenge&lt;/a&gt; (90DC) from &lt;a href="http://www.plrpro.com/home.php?&amp;amp;aff_id=2838" target="_blank"&gt;PLR Pro&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.plrpro.com/home.php?&amp;amp;aff_id=2838" target="_blank"&gt;90 Day Challenge&lt;/a&gt; is an interesting program. Follow their instructions and at the end of the 90 days (or 90 steps actually -- go at your own speed) you will have 12 working websites and should be making money. In fact, they guarantee it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Follow along as I attempt the challenge and veiw that sites I make at &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/"&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I started onto the second phase of the challenge. Having constructed the first 4 sites (see&lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/"&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing&lt;/a&gt; for the addresses), I now start to promote them. One of the first promotion techniques the 90DC teaches is Article Marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those not familiar with article marketing I put up a post today at -- you guessed it -- &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/"&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing&lt;/a&gt;, explaining it in depth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you see a pattern here. It is my hope that &lt;strong&gt;Internet Marketing for FREE&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; will work hand-in-hand to help &lt;strong&gt;all of us&lt;/strong&gt; to become better internet marketers. If you are reading one, do yourself a favor and start reading both. Better yet, subscribe to the feed and the newsletter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now there are many excellent books out there one the topic of article marketing, including many free ones. But there is only one book that &lt;strong&gt;invented&lt;/strong&gt; affliliate marketing using articles. If you want to market your products, website or affiliates products without spending any money -- do it like a bum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bum marketing is the term coined by Travis Sago to explain how simple his marketing method is (even a "bum" with no money could do it.) The best thing about it is that even the course is free. Travis presents it completely on the web with article and video -- in plain language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does it work? Well, that's what I'm trying to find out. Remember -- &lt;a href="http://myeverydaylife.net/internet/"&gt;Everyday Internet Marketing&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, head over to &lt;a href="http://www.bummarketingmethod.com/"&gt;Bum Marketing&lt;/a&gt; and learn for free a program you can do for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beat that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;The Moment of Truth&lt;/span&gt; -- Yes, like all marketers, Travis will ask for your email. But then, once he has it, what does he do? He sends you MORE free stuff. This guy is great.

The article is a bit old (2007 - practically ancient by internet standards) but it and the report are still very much relevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The article is written by expert copywriter, Michael Fortin "the Success Doctor". The report he offers, "The Death of the Salesletter", is good reading for any aspiring internet marketer and is, of course, FREE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael's Article--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New Year is here. And in keeping with that famed New Year tradition, people are making their predictions for 2007: Web 2.0, online trends, Internet flops, business successes, new technologies, ad nauseum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s been a week since I posted, and there’s a very good reason. (You’ll see why in a moment.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the first time ever, I’ve decided to make some predictions of my own. I’m no futurist by any stretch. But I wanted to particularly share with you something I’m not only really passionate about, but also something I’m seeing happening, right now, mostly behind the scenes that’s going to affect online copywriting in significant ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(It’s going to blow some minds, turn some heads, cause some yawns, provoke some fits or waste some bandwidth.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But regardless, here’s the problem: it’s something I truly believe in and have a lot to say about. But what started out as a blog post turned into a 50-page document! (52, to be exact.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So rather than posting is here, I’ve decided to put it into a downloadable PDF document and entitled it “The Death of The Salesletter.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download "&lt;a href="http://www.successdoctor.com/books/deathofthesalesletter.pdf"&gt;The Death of The Salesletter&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I highly encourage you to pass it around. Give it away, offer it as a download or just point people to this blog post. It doesn’t matter. And there’s nothing “covert,” here, too. I just want to get this off my chest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rants or raves? Post them below. I’d love to hear from you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the Author&lt;br /&gt;Michel Fortin is a direct response copywriter, author, speaker and consultant.

Not only adwords but any PPC program. Get as many words as you want, bid as high as you like -- you're not paying for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To say I was intrigued would be an understatement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a moment I am going to give you the link. But first I must warn you, DO NOT PURCHASE until you have read the rest of this post. Very important that you don't buy because I am going to tell you exactly what is in the course and exactly how you can do the same. And I'm gonna do it for free -- right here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the link to the ad -- &lt;a href="http://getgoogleadsfree.com/index.php"&gt;http://getgoogleadsfree.com/index.php&lt;/a&gt; -- go read it and come back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn from the Ad Copy -- Not the Course&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Did you read it? Makes you want to buy doesn't it? It's a very good example of highly effective ad copy. Learn from it but don't buy the course. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As I was reading a couple of alarms were going off in my mind. See if you didn't feel these while you were reading. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1. Where is the Guarantee? ALL products today have a guarantee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Where is the "voice of reason"? ALL legitimate products temper the hype with a voice of reason. It just makes sense. Not everyone succeeds. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;With those alarms going off in my head I decided to do a little research on the web. It didn't take long to find multiple sites and forum posts dissing this product. And almost all of them tell exactly what the "trick" is (which I will do in a moment).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That alone ought to tell you what people think of this product. People do not "give away" the secret or "trick" to quality products. Try searching for the "secret" of "Day Job Killer" or "Mass Control". You won't find people giving them away. No, they're too busy recommending them and hoping for some affiliate money (notice I did NOT have an affilite link above). Besides which a good product demands respect for the author and seldom has a secret or trick to give away. More often they are systems of hard work that you can put into place to succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Secret Revealed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I first must state that I did NOT purchase the product and this could be wrong. But you can do your own research if you like (and you should before you purchase anything) and draw your own conclusions from the 100's of results you will return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, I have no reason to believe that the author is lying about his or his students earnings. So you probably could make a buck or two at this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What he is misleading about is the method. According to the posts, the method he used to get "free" ads is that he placed Banners and Links on his pages to &lt;strong&gt;offset&lt;/strong&gt; the cost of the ad. So if you follow that reasoning, every successful PPC campaign (one that make more than you spend) is done with free advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My two problems with this are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1. This is not free advertising. It is cost offset advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. It would require deep pockets and a lot of faith to try and impliment. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is probably a very lucrative and viable method of marketing for the very experienced and successful internet marketers but not for the newbie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He should have said that and not said it was free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Moment of Truth&lt;/span&gt; - You already got it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you haven't already take a moment to signup at the right for my email list and I will send you to a page where you can signup for the Membership Millionaires course for Free.

Joel had cut a deal for his list to get in as a Silver Member to this new Membership Site Training. Since I have been considering membership sites for a while I jumped at the chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I don't have the pull that Joel does. But I did talk them into free access to the Membership Millionaires course for anyone coming from my site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the deal -- Sign up at the right for my email list and I will send you to a page where you can sign up for the course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's that simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Think about it... whether you sell ad space, products, or develop a proprietary technology that you can charge a fee for, membership marketing is a source of tremendous revenue and it's just waiting for you to tap into...If you're not taking advantage of membership marketing in your business right now you're already losing massive market share and you're letting potentially life changing profits slip through your fingers.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yeah, that's from the email, too. But it is so right. Membership sites are the new big thing on the internet. You can fully expect to see me talking about and offering one in the very near future. I already have it in the works and I guarantee there are people reading this today who will want to join.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do wait. Get your course now. Sign up at the right.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mark&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;The Moment of Truth&lt;/span&gt; -- Yes, as always, there will be opportunities to upgrade for a price.

I have been on Brett's mailing list for some time and I am always interested in the new promotions he comes up with. He has really outdone himself this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I will let you read it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're interested in starting an online business or want to take your current business to new heights but don't want to spend a fortune, there is a new site you should check out called Great Ipod Giveaway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is designed for people who either want to start online businesses or want to grow the businesses they have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can download over &lt;strong&gt;$16,888&lt;/strong&gt; worth of internet marketing tools (ebooks, guides, software, memberships) to get you started in any area you need help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLUS, Great Ipod Giveaway will even build an optin subscriber list FOR YOU (you have heard the saying, "The money's in the list, right??)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND, they are giving away new Ipods every 2 days!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the best part is it's FREE.

They're your standard giveaways you see everywhere and can buy all day on ebay for $.01 (is there a cent key on the keyboard. I thought there was). You may find something. I downloaded one thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But since it is free you should at least go look around and signup for a chance at an IPod. Every offer will ask for your Email (that's why it's FREE!) and there is a One Time Only Offer at the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=Red&gt;UPDATE&lt;/font&gt; -- The IPod give away is over (Sadly I didn't win one) but the books and information are still up and still free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Of vastly more interest than the giveaways to aspiring Internet Marketers should be the Marketing Concepts of Brett Ingram.

He didn't invent marketing on the internet, but he sure helped. He's been doing it since 1996 and has made over $45 million, including $15 million last year alone. And he didn't make his money selling get rich quick programs. Armand is in over 1000 niches. So I suppose he knows what he is talking about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though the title says "Truth", this easy-to-read 51-page report is packed full of truth after truth from someone who has been there and done that. He starts out by stating -- and proving -- that internet marketing is not hard. Don't believe me? Download the report and see for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Armand then goes on to tell you the one big difference between him and most people on the internet. The one truth that made him rich while they are still stuggling. But he doesn't stop there, like most gurus.
