“The 17 Method: 17 Simple But Deadly Effective Email Marketing Tweaks”

No doubt you’ve heard the saying, “the money is in the list.” So, you build a list … BUT… you’re still waiting for the money.

Don’t get disheartened. There IS a way to make money from your list.

The problem that most new internet marketers run into is they focus on the numbers instead of the message. In other words, they do everything they can to get 1,000 … 2,500 … 5,000 people to sign up, but then the email messages they send out are (pardon my expression) “crap.” Continue Reading »

I’d like to share a resource with you that has the potential of making your online business very, very successful.

I’m talking about a membership site that offers hundreds of products to help you grow your business and skyrocket your profits.

Before I go any further, let me say something right upfront — I’m not a big fan of membership sites. The main reason I don’t like them is because many (most) of them offer little that I feel will help me in my business (besides the fact they usually cost too much).

Having said that, about two years ago, I came across the Surefire Wealth Membership Site … and I was immediately impressed. Continue Reading »

I’ve been an online business owner for 10 years and believe me, I wish I’d had this report way back then. I would be making a heckava lot more money today.

About 2-3 weeks ago, I started using a new autoresponder service. Up until that time, I had been using a software program that I purchased to send out my newsletter and various autoresponses. It’s a very good program (Mail Machine Pro) and I have no complaints. In fact, I’m still using it for some of my other websites. Support has been phenomenal!

However, for various reasons, I decided to switch to an autoresponder service for my Writing-Etc.com website. Continue Reading »

Are you tired of the bloated promises that arrive in your email about how you’re going to make $$$ if you buy this product or that product? And when you investigate, you find out that the (overhyped) money-making product is ONLY going to cost you $297! (Who’s the one making money?)

If so, you may be interested in the Product Blueprint. 

Yes, it’s another product that tells you how to make money online, but what makes this product different from all the rest is that it’s only $7.95! (Yes, you read that right.)

 Isn’t it worth a few minutes of your time to at least check it out?

I just read this report by Jason James and I was extremely impressed with the contents. It’s a VERY good report that could easily have been sold on its own.

It covers 19 “Untold Marketing Secrets” that will help you look at things just a little ‘differently’ that you ever have before. Some of the ideas you’ve probably heard before, but I feel positive there will be others that will be brand new. (They were for me … and I’ve been an online business owner for nearly 10 years.)

Jason also provides some valuable resources in the report in the form of links, websites, and software.

I urge you to get your copy of the FREE “Untold Marketing Secrets” report. I feel confident you’re going to benefit from the information.

Ya’ know, I’m an online business owner so I’m all for internet marketing. And I understand the value of sending out a notice to one’s list to let them know about special deals, to announce new products, to promote an affiliate product, etc., etc.

But what I can’t stand is when an internet marketer sends me umpteen emails (all within a matter of days) promoting a particular product or service.

This recently happened with Joe Vitale’s new “Hypnotic Marketing” coaching program. Not only did I receive numerous emails (from him as well as others) that talked about the program, but I also received several more telling me that I needed to “act fast” because the deadline was approaching.

And then, once the deadline had passed, I received MORE emails telling me how “lucky” I was because the deadline had been extended and X number of openings remained. And (oh boy!) if I acted quickly, I could sign up!

And it didn’t stop there. This morning I received yet another email telling me that I had only 2 hours left to sign up.

Good grief!

Maybe this is part of Joe’s ‘hypnotic’ teaching, but I’ll say this much. These type of tactics certainly don’t hypnotize me into action.

How do you feel about this type of internet marketing? Leave a comment and share your experiences.

In today’s email, I received notice that Allan Wilson had posted his latest newsletter online. I’m not a big newsletter reader … primarily because I don’t have the time. In addition to my website writing services, I also operate 8 websites of my own, plus do copywriting and website maintenance for 3 ongoing clients.

But another reason I rarely read them is because so many are nothing but sales letters in disguise. Now I have no problem with someone promoting their products or services in their newsletter. I fully realize and accept that we’re all hoping to put a few bucks in our pocket. But more and more, it’s a rarity to find a newsletter that contains content that is actually interesting and fun to read.

That’s why I was so impressed with Allan’s newsletter. I encourage you to take a few moments and read it for yourself. It’s a model that I wish more internet marketers would follow. Here’s the link: http://www.nichehealtharticles.com/newsletter.html.

BTW, I don’t get a thing for promoting this newsletter. I just think it’s entertaining AND has some great information that many of us can benefit from.

Let me know if you agree.
