While going through my morning mail I was getting annoyed as I opened each one. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against emails of most any type-well I send viagra and all those meaningless sex things to the junk box-I try read everything I can just to stay current. But there are days when I feel an urge to get out my soapbox and this happens to be one of those days.
There were headlines like “10 Steps to a Better Web Site,” “The Gold Rush is On,” “Hmm, A Big Warning,” “I make $11,000 a day with this method,” the list goes on. My point here is that 99% of most emails I’ve opted in for aren’t worth reading. I guess they all forgot that adding value to my-or your-day is vital to any email campaign. Building a reputation for adding value to your prospect’s day is of utmost importance. For some reason we’ve lost site of the basic principles of marketing.
The one basic principle that should still rank high on any list is trust-without it nothing gets sold and or no long term value will result.
How is your email box? Can you identify the ones that add value to your efforts? If not send it to the trash bin as I’m starting to do-I guess I’ve had enough of the lies and come-ons that waste my time. I’m just saying…
Speaking of value, have you been to one of my Webinars lately? If not, let me take a moment and tell you what’s been happening there. We’ve had some super interesting and vital marketing topics. Topics such as “ABC’s of Video Marketing,” Leveraging Sales in a Recessionary Economy,” Craigslist Posting Tips,” and much more.
My point is that these webinars are free, there are no strings, no smoke, no mirrors, just down-right solid information that is painstakingly researched for accuracy. There’s nothing to buy, unless you want to purchase some of the recommended resources that I personally use. Oh, yes, and if you want to send a check for the Mark Gabel retirement fund that would be perfectly acceptable too. Just kidding.
If you’ve not been there or haven’t made a visit lately, I highly recommend you join us this coming week and every week, and come early to take advantage of the free bonuses that are given away, like free private, one-on-one coaching.

Wow, I’m here to tell ya that last week was an eye opener one for me.
I’m not talking about the Olympics or the weather- nope, I’m talking about the comments on marketing issues that I’ve received during my last week’s many coaching sessions.
They were so eye-opening that I feel compelled to share them with you on this week’s webinar. In fact they were so revealing that I’ve decided to devote the entire hour to them.
They range from Craigslist posting techniques, questions on blogging, changes and effectiveness of Twitter and FaceBook to the topic of integration them - that’s a two buck work for saying that folks were confused about how to *combine* them . Is it because there are so many options out there? Or is it because of the technical issues involved?
Find out as I take these issues to center stage and demystify the whole deal-no smoke no mirrors, just good solid marketing advice and techniques especially for you.

Network Marketing - Why Is It So Great?
By: Trent Brownrigg
If you’ve ever heard of Network Marketing, you’ve probably heard it said that it is essentially a people’s business. Some have also labeled it a people’s franchise because of the similarities between the business models of network marketing and franchising. Advocates of the industry name it as the ultimate people’s Read the rest of this entry »
I’m a video nut, err, ah, well I suppose I should say video buff, sounds better, right? At any rate, I’ve been doing video for a while and getting pretty good at it, ahem pardon me while I put my whistle away.
Ok, back to reason for writing this. While doing research for my recent webinar on video marketing I happen to run across some valuable information on how to enhance YouTube videos-I was all ears.
If you’re like me, you’ve had a burning desire to have a clickable link in your videos. Well, wish no more because it’s here. Yes, now… Read the rest of this entry »
I started on the internet net when Spam was meat in a can. Since that time you can drive trucks through the vast changes in the Internet and Internet marketing. I remember a time when I had 4 computers running simultaneously cranking out emails by the thousands. That wild west concept has been tamed. Now Internet marketing is a challenge but it’s not difficult either and can be extremely profitable.
Not primarily for Craigslist posters but for anyone who is marketing and advertising on the Internet, this free tool, Craig’s Tool Bar, will assist anyone in almost any business or personal search endeavor.
There are times when a Craigslist search will turn up specific market niches not found elsewhere. And there are times when a search needs to be more confined, in other words being able to read and view pictures on one page rather than being separated. Easier? Yes! More efficient? Certainly. Better than a Google Search? In many cases, yes. A time saver? Most definitely. Check out the video here and try it out for yourself, they have a free download. Feel free to post your comments.
No question about it, online marketing makes money - if you know what you’re doing. If you are willing to put in a good bit of easy work into affiliate programs you can make a very comfortable living without a college degree. The main roads to success are focus, dedication and enthusiasm.
