"4 Internet Marketing Mistakes That
Cost Me Big Money This Year and How You Can Easily Avoid Them To Make
Your Profits Soar!"
Kenneth A. McArthur, Editor
I admit it ...
I'm throwing money out the window and you
can catch some!
Every day, I keep throwing money out the
window by ignoring some key facts about life and Internet Marketing that
I already know!
Worse yet, I keep doing it over and over,
while all the time complaining that I don't have enough time to do
everything! If I would just remember a few easy points, my life would
be easier, less frustrating and much, much more profitable.
Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT complaining about
my current lifestyle or income. Life has been really good to me
DESPITE the fact that I seem to keep ignoring these simple facts, but time
and again (as often as I remember them) I can see immediate results
just from avoiding these mistakes.
Here are just a few of the BIG mistakes that
I make all the time ...
Mistake One - Not
"Constantly" Building The Relationship
We buy from people or organizations that we
know and trust and if we don't build that relationship of trust, we don't
make the sale.
It gets harder the more successful you are.
Before you know it, you are trying to maintain relationships with 30
thousand people and not doing a very good job with any of them.
You get too busy to answer e-mails, forget to
add that personal touch and soon your own customers don't even know you!
A list of 30 thousand satisfied customers
gets built one at a time and you can lose them the same way.
It's like a marriage. If you forget to
say "I love you" the relationship slowly dies on the vine and you don't even
notice that it's happening.
The easy fix?
Help your customers solve their problems one
issue at a time. Every kind word that you say comes back to you
multiplied. Treat each person as a person and not an e-mail and each
day check off even one small thing that can help you build that
trust.
Mistake Two - Not Being
Consistent
It's been too long since the last newsletter.
I could go on for hours justifying my reasons for not getting it out sooner,
but the fact is I just didn't get it done.
EVERY newsletter makes me money (not to
mention that relationship building that I just talked about) so every day
that I let go by without getting it out costs me money.
The easy fix?
Identify the key tasks that you need to do
EVERY month and make sure that you do them. You will find that there
aren't so many that you can't get them done.
If there are key tasks that really pay off
for you and you really can't get them done, then you need to get someone
else to do them for you!
Mistake Three - Not Focusing
Ok, I'm really guilty of this. Hundreds
of potential projects. Let's try getting one done and then going on to
the next.
The easy fix?
Try this system for focusing on key tasks ...
-
•At the end of each
day write down the 6 most important things needing your
attention most.
-
•Start the following
day with the most important.
-
Then proceed to the next important, crossing off
the tasks in sequence.
-
Do not allow yourself to work on anything else.
Mistake Four - Not
Advertising and Testing
I've built AffiliateShowcase and jvAlert into
the powerhouses that they are with ZERO dollars invested in advertising and
that is a BIG Mistake!
Why? Just imagine how well we could
have done if we had actually tested our copy and results through paid
advertising to see EXACTLY what was working instead of just putting the
money in the bank.
If we knew exactly what was working and what
wasn't, we could plow resources into making things work even better and
leveraging the success that we already have.
The easy fix?
Systematically test ad copy using paid
advertising and track the results to see EXACTLY what works and what
doesn't.
Then revise sales copy and advertisements to
maximize your results.
I hope that my mistakes will help remind you
of just a few of the obvious things that can make your profits soar!
All the best,

Special Offer
"Give Me Your Mailing
Address And Just $9.95, And I'll Ship You A Million-Dollar Copywriter's
Highly Coveted Copywriting And Conversion Secrets Shared During A Recent,
Closed-Door, 3-Hour Seminar All Recorded On 2 Power-Packed DVDs."
 I
was recently talking to Simon Grabowski of GetResponse fame. One of the
things we discussed was a stumbling block for most aspiring net marketers...
their inability to write clear, compelling and effective copy that does what
it should... Sell!
It turns out that Simon ran a seminar
together with Michel Fortin, one of the most effective AND expensive
copywriters. Hiring Mike costs thousands of dollars and tickets to attend
his seminars have sold for over $3,000 a seat, and worth every penny.
 Simon
has persuaded Mike to *film* one of his most exciting, information-packed
seminars he teaches some of his favorite (and most profitable) tricks of
trade and put it on DVD. It was truly a spectacular event, packed with tips
that boost conversion ratios, increase response and generate more sales.
Mike was very reluctant at first, unwilling to "saturate" the market with
his own selling strategies and techniques, but finally he give in to Simon's
reasoning. After all, the more people see him on the DVD, the more clients
he will get from it.
But he gave in only under one condition:
Only *500* copies of the DVD course would be
produced, and not a single set more. Otherwise his techniques would become
useless as everyone would be using them.
To make the long story short, I have persuaded Simon to let me offer you
this course to you as my valued AffiliateShowcase customer. He agreed to let
you try it completely FREE for a full month.
The only thing you pay is the worldwide
shipping and handling fee of $9.95 (the sets are being shipped from Europe).
If you decide to keep them, the cost is $297. A bargain compared to the
$3000+ ticket that people pay to attend Mike's seminars.
Simon has allocated only 75 sets for our subscribers, so you must be quick.
As icing on the cake, he's even bundling a third DVD with his own interview
on it, as well as 200+ page physical book written by Mike Fortin "Power
Positioning".
If you have a DVD player,
secure
your set NOW!
If you don't have one, rush to the local
store and grab one.
This package is so HOT you owe it to yourself to check out it and see what
it does for your business!

Book Review
 Willie
Crawford sent me this e-book and when Willie recommends something, I always
take a look.
There's lots of "buzz" going around
about this e-book and you've probably heard it being recommended by every
Internet marketer out there, but I'm late to jump on the bandwagon.
These days I get so many products to review
that I just have to wait until I can find the time to really sit down and
read and absorb what people have to offer and there's not a lot of time left
in my day for that.
That means that I have to be "picky" and you
have to wait until I can give an honest opinion. Most of these products have
something valid to offer, but every once in a while one really stands out.
That is exactly the case with John Evans' new book "Success Alert -
Conversations with Successful Internet Entrepreneurs."
John did his research and interviewed 60 Web
entrepreneurs, but only 10 made it into his book and they aren't the
people that you would expect and NONE of them are selling Internet
Marketing products!
The common thread is that they're all generating the kind of incomes most of
us only dream about.
The niche markets cover everything from parrots to magic tricks and even a
site that sells only black socks!
These success stories include a guy that has sold over $2.7 million in
big-ticket items for other people on eBay, (Click

that work.

 Rosalind
Gardner earns 100% of her income from the 'Net. Between 1997 and 2001, she
did business online by promoting ONLY affiliate programs.

50,000 US dollars every month. In a single year, she earned $436,737, by
affiliating with Internet merchants and selling their products.
Rosalind is the author of "The Super Affiliate Handbook: How I Made $436,737
Last Year Selling Other People's Stuff Online."
Now just imagine what it would be like to talk with Rosalind and to have her
speaking directly to you and answering your toughest questions about YOUR
on-line marketing plans!
Then on top of that ...
 How
about talking with Ramon Williamson about you can be an expert and about
branding yourself and your products?
Ramon is a successful entrepreneur, motivational speaker and life coach who
teaches universal principles proven to work for anyone, in any situation, at
any time.
Ramon was named one of the 21 best in business motivation by a national
magazine and is a coach and personal advisor to high profile and emerging
entrepreneurs, authors, executives, celebrities and everyday people at all
levels of success

Computing, US Weekly and on XM Radio and now you can talk to him too!
How about even more ...
 You
can learn about "Writing and using articles extensively for promotions and
traffic." directly from the master, Willie Crawford.
Willie teaches at conferences, and seminars which often generate six-figure
incomes in a single weekend.
Imagine Willie teaching you how to create your own information products in
weeks and sometimes days and how to avoid getting ripped off by less
reputable on-line personalities and seminar promoters.
Is that enough? Well, I have more ...
 How
about a webinar and whiteboard demonstration from James Maduk on "Being
successful with Multi-media products and why you should consider producing
them for your company."
James Maduk is a professional speaker and small business owner turned
internet marketer. James has been leading seminars all over North America
for the last 20 years and last year alone, James created and sold 238
marketing toolkits, multimedia e-books, and virtual seminars to 1,044
clients, on 17 easy-to-create websites.
Not enough ...
You're not going to believe this, but I'm a Star in the internet's first
Audio Soap Opera on internet marketing called, "Joe? Yes, Mable Are We Rich
Yet?"
It's a zany, whacky and irreverent way of marketing on the Internet at
http://joeandmable.com
Now imagine that Jane Mark, Phil Basten and Kenneth Doyle give you a walk
through the Joe and Mable Website on a step-by-step "tour" to show you how
very traditional marketing ideas such as selling ad space, gathering
testimonials and signing up affiliates can be done in a unique and
entertaining way, but still sell products and ad space.
Still want more ..
We have many more presentations coming up from people like Neil Shearing,
Peter Twist and Jason Mangrum, just to name a few.

Scan for SpyWare and AdWare
Have you noticed your computer running slower than ever?
The reason for that may have to do with online
advertisers adding SpyWare or AdWare to your computer without your
knowledge. "Spyware" is a common term for files that are installed on your
system without your knowledge that allow companies to monitor your Internet
activity. "AdWare" is software that will show you popup ads over and over.
What they don't tell you, however, is how these files can be extremely
dangerous to your PC and could cause major problems with your PC.
