The 20 Steps to Internet Marketing

Howdy from the Hack Writer!

I've compiled The 20 Steps to Internet Marketing into a booklet of about 17,000 words. The file is in .pdf format so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader which is free at Adobe.com.

There is no charge for this book because it has some of my affiliate links. If I took out the links, I guess I could sell it. Okay, so some do sell ebooks with their links.

It's FREE!

Get Started Right in Internet Marketing

Getting started in Internet marketing can be so disappointing.

Too many new Internet Wealth Seekers give up before they get started.

A common occurrence is that a new player in this Internet business game empty their bank accounts and max out their credit cards before they can get started. That is especially true of MLM programs that use Internet promotion.

Can you blame them for leaving?

It takes education to make money on the Internet. Folks know this and they spend tons of money on guru programs and ebooks, ending up with crappy, obsolete information, that leads them to the Internet Marketers Grave Yard.

Do you think the gurus are your friends?

Big Mistake!

They are not your enemy either. They hope that their programs will be successful. They need those testimonies coming in.

Have you notices that many of the testimonies sound like this: Wow, Steve! Boy, I sure am glad I signed up yesterday. This really looks good to me. I'll be ... blah, blah, blah. The point is that many of those who give testimonies do it too fast. They haven't really tried the program. They are just excited about it.

No guru would ever put up a sales letter on his site without testimonials. How do they find the testimonies before the program has been released? Well, one way is to call your fellow guru and and have him write you a testimonial. He can do that if you give him a peek at the program and put his link on your page.

The other way is to write the testimonials yourself.

I know this is done.

Sometimes, when I see it, I tell the guru something like this: Hey, George! Those Testimonies of yours look like you wrote them. Guru's usually don't answer these kind of comments. That would be a waste of time. They are Internet Marketers.

There are ways for beginners to make money no the internet. Please go to my site to learn more: http://www.internetbusinesstoolcenter.com

A Very Valuable Internet Wealth Site

Some Internet Marketer told me about Wealthy Affiliate University

For some reason I had never heard of the place (site). Well, the site owners did say that the site was not always like it is today.

Like all the universities I've attended, it is not free

It's a fee site. You have to pay a subscription fee each month. I took one look at the site and decided to make some savings by paying for one year in advance. I think it is very reasonably priced for what you get. I've been in other subscription sites but none have compared with this site in value.

The 8-Week Action Plan

I thought that I would zip right through their 8-week action plan. Most sites let you click on the next week and you can be done in a flash. Not with this University. You will have to wait one week for the next lesson. Tomorrow, I can access week two.

So What Could I Do to Get Educated While I'm Waiting for the Next Lesson?

WAU has a Learning Center. I started at the Junior Level I read the 18 lessons there and was amazed that I was actually learning something new.

They say at the site that you can make $10,000.00 a month at this level, you learn so many neat things.

I'm in the mist of the Intermediate Level but I'm going back to slow down. I don't want to gloss over important topics.

There is a Senior Level but I won't be at that level for a while.

What Else Is on the Site?

I suggest you take a look. Go down the left side panel and you will see everything needed to run an Internet Business. It's quite amazing. There are many fine site-building and marketing tools.

I'm glad I signed on for a full year. It will take me that long to really get going I'm so old and decrepit.

The Forum

I love the many forums they have at Wealthy Affiliate University. They are from the general to the specific. Do you use (or lose money with) AdWords? Go to that Forum today!

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

What Mail Software Do I Use?

That's a good question.

Email is the prime seller for those Internet Gurus. If they tell you they make 37,300.00 bucks in 24 hours, MAYBE they did. But how? Well they have a mailing list of customers as long as the Amazon River. They pop an ad and mail it to those customers. A certain fraction take the offer and they have made 27,300.00 bucks, MAYBE. Well, can you really trust what they say?

I use Post-Master Software.

When I lived in Arizona, I used Post-Master software. Recently, I was using AWeber.com but I switched back to Post-master. The reason is that I'm a small timer and I don't want to pay monthly fees. AWeber is great. So is Godaddy.com which my son uses. Post-master cost about 300 bucks but you pay no monthly fees.

Besides, I like to play with the Post-Master software. Years ago, when I first used it, I spent a lot of time with the techs (Roy, that is) getting things going. Now they have these wonderful tutorials that make it easy. Well, they are still there to help you.

What does the software do?

I thought you would never ask. Here is what it does:

1. It keeps track of my customers in categories of your choosing. I have a category that says Newsletter. When a person signs on for my newsletter, it puts them in that category. When some one opts-out, oh Heaven forbid, it removes their name from that category called Newsletter. When a person joins my newsletter, an auto responder send them an email expressing my joy.

2. It keeps track of my messages and keeps track of whom has received what. It sends these messages out on a schedule or as an instant message.

3. It does about everything there is to do automatically because of the Filters you can apply to income email.

Oh, Joy!

Make Some Dough With Neil Shearing

One of the most respected online marketers, Neil Shearing,
has just released an incredible set of movies. I strongly
urge you to check them out...
Why should you take a look? Well, Neil is an expert at
creating Passive Cashflow. That means, he sets up a revenue
stream and then forgets about it... while it keeps putting
money into his back account. Neil says this is the ONLY way
for lazy people, like him, to get rich online. :-)
In one example, he shows how he earned $82.95 from Adsense
in just one day, from one website which builds itself!
In another example he shows you how he's still earning
money from a site that's paid him $30,240 over seven years!
How many people do you know who have *really* been earning
serious Passive Cashflow online for years and years?
There are other examples... one autoresponder put an extra
$8,257 pure profit into his hands with no effort... one
affiliate program paid him $26,704 in passive income in a year.
You see, there are lots of people who talk nonsense about
making money online, but Neil isn't one of them. He's been
earning cash online for over ten YEARS and all his stuff
describes his own tried and tested, proven techniques.
Check out Neil's movies on creating passive cashflow right
now, while you're thinking about it...

Utah Mine Disasters Then and Now

I 've written an article on the Scofield Utah mine disaster in 1900. My grandmother's first husband was killed in the explosion and many more miners died when they tried to escape when they breathed deadly carbon monoxide. About 250 miners died.

A second article asks "How Do We Stack Up?" We say that America is the greatest country in the world. Is it? What do we need to do to change our image in the world?

A third article answers Science Questions for kids.

The articles are available at:

The article is at http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_T_Jones,_Ph.D.

Names of Current Utah Miners and the 1900 Utah Mine Explosion

Reported at http://www.abc4.com/mostpopular/story.aspx?content_id=b1fb2b27-36f2-4eae-af2e-cf9387c3d8fa
a local newspaper is reporting the names of the six trapped miners. They are Manuel Sanchez, Brandon Phillips, Carlos Payan, Kerry Allred, Don Erickson and Luis Hernandez. The net also reports that three are Mexican citizens.

I have an interest because my grandmother's first husband was killed in the mine explosion that killed over 200 men in a Utah mine explosion in 1900. Those not killed by the explosion were killed by carbon monoxide. See the story at http://historytogo.utah.gov/utah_chapters/mining_and_railroads/thescofieldminedisasterin1900wasutahsworst.html

I wonder who (or if) I would be if my could-have-been grandfather had survived.

Writing 101: Why didn’t I write this before? Maybe you did!

The Hack Writer is pretty old. That's why I often repeat myself. But is that all bad?

Those of us that write for the Internet are always looking for ways to expand an article or to break it up into a number of separate articles. That is because the more articles you publish, the more Internet exposure you get. Print writers do the same thing.

So, the hack writer has created another article on the subject at http://ezinearticles.com/?Writing-101---Why-Didnt-I-Write-This-Before?-Maybe-You-Did&id=670429
