Internet Marketing is Confusing, isn't it? © Copyright 2002-2003 Steve Nash. All Rights Reserved. Wherever you go, Internet marketing sites tell you that they have the solution to your money-making woes! These sales- letter sites all know how to CREATE AN AVALANCHE OF SALES; they all know how to SKYROCKET TRAFFIC; they all offer you... whatever it is that you're looking for! They all claim that their product, and only their product, is the answer. (Some even have answers to questions you hadn't even thought of - now that is confusing!) The trouble is that there are SO MANY marketing sites, often containing conflicting information; so it is easy to feel confused and overwhelmed by it all. So WHAT do you believe, and WHO do you trust? And HOW do you learn? Remember! None of us know everything about Internet Marketing and we all need help. And, with hard study and application on your part, some of these sales letter sites, some of their owners, can really HELP YOU succeed online. Yes, but which ones? LOOK FOR THESE NAMES: Ken Evoy Corey Rudl Jim Daniels Marlon Sanders Jim Edwards Jimmy D Brown : : : : Yanik Silver Terry Dean : : : : (not exhaustive) == Aside == A much more complete list of gurus, each offering some fabulous tips, is available in Harvey Segal's free ebook Guru Magic. Subscribe to my newsletter, and download it free: http://AnyoneCanSellOnline.com/newsletter.shtml == Aside == I've visited sites (and read the free newsletters) belonging to Evoy, Rudl, Daniels etc., enough times to realise that these people KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. They understand Internet marketing, and all offer products, services and advice that shares this knowledge with you. I haven't purchased products from all of these people, but I do subscribe to their free newsletters. All offer outstanding free advice. Don't get me wrong! I don't expect to be as successful as Dr Ken Evoy or Jim Edwards after reading their ebooks (though anything's possible! ;-) ). But I do expect to be more successful, especially if I do what they suggest (rather than just read about it). And that is the point. ALL of the above individuals are very bright, hard-working folk - they do, and they learn from what they do. They all offer to share their knowledge and skills that CAN HELP YOU be more successful online. Sometimes advice is free, and other times you have to pay. Either way, you win! WHAT ABOUT NEWSLETTERS AND EZINES? So who else do I turn to for advice? Well, I subscribe to a LOT OF newsletters to do with all aspects of Internet marketing. I recommend all of the following publications which are pitched between beginner and expert. Only subscribe to a few newsletters; find authors or editors you feel comfortable with and trust. And then learn from them. ALL of the editors below put a lot of time and effort into their publications simply to help you succeed online! Take advantage, and learn! (Please note: I have changed 'encoded' email addresses below, so that 'email@address.com' becomes 'email at address.com', as an anti-spam measure.) So, in no particular order: Merle's Cyber Promotions Press ------------------------------ "Creating Visibility Online For Small Business" Editor: Merle Frequency: Twice a month Subscribe: subscribe at mcpromotions.com WillMaster Possibilities ------------------------ "Exploring the programming possibilities of the Web" Editor: William and Mari Bontrager Frequency: Weekly Subscribe: subscribe-possibilities at willmaster.com The Sitepoint Tribune --------------------- "News, Rants and Case Studies for Web Design Professionals" Editor: Matt Mickiewicz Frequency: Weekly Subscribe: subscribe at sitepoint.com Archive: http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/archives.php Associate Programs Newsletter ----------------------------- Insider tips, news on affiliate programs and more. Editor: Allan Gardyne Frequency: Twice monthly Subscribe: join-associateprograms at lists.dundee.net EzineArticles ----------------------------- "Resources and connections to Internet writers & publishers" Editor: Janet Roberts Frequency: Weekly Subscribe: join-EzineArticles at lists.ezinearticles.com (Again, this list is by no way exhaustive, but it's a start. I'm sure the ezine/website you're reading this article in/on is a fine resource too! ;-) ) It is very easy to unsubscribe from all the above publications. So why not try one out: I get something valuable from each publication! WHAT ABOUT WEBSITES? Here are some more online resources about Internet marketing, that you may also find valuable: http://www.wilsonweb.com http://www.clickz.com http://www.marketingtips.com http://www.sitesell.com http://www.marketingwonk.com IS THAT IT? YOU CAN succeed on the Internet, and there are many people willing to help, quite often for free! Find a few 'voices' that you trust, via a newsletter or website, and learn from them (ignore the rest). Don't kid yourself, though! It takes a lot of hard (and smart) work to succeed on the Internet. But all of us can learn from others, either gurus or smaller voices like my own!
