Can You Really Get Good Internet Marketing Instructions for Free?
By Mark Hester

In a word, Yes. Believe it or not. Internet Marketers have discovered what Columbia House and the corner drug dealer have known for years: Give the customer something of value for free, build trust then sell them something.

At first the internet was a game played by techies and nerds and their was no selling or buying. Then, as it was discovered by the masses in the boom era 1990's it became a free for all party where anything and everything sold with just a website (sorry I missed it). Then the dot com crash put an end to the good times and many "experts" wrote off the internet as a viable medium of commerce.

Enter the Experts

Into this breach stepped the marketing experts. No not the drug dealers, they're doing just fine where they are, I'm talking about the offline marketing geniuses. The ones behind the killer promotions of yesterday such as Columbia House (you remember, 10 CD's for a dollar. Actually they are still running it!). Marketing gods like Dan Kennedy and Jay Abraham set out to conquer the internet and they brought along their offline promotions.

A new breed of internet entrepreneur took notice and followed suit. Marketers like Yanik Silver, Armand Morin and Mike Filsaime are all using the offline methods to build huge online empires.

Great for the New Guy

This is a boon for those of us just starting out with no money to spend. Because one of the basic tenets of the promotion is that the giveaway should be high quality. You cannot give away junk and expect someone to later buy from you. Furthermore what you give them must be useful in and of itself and not just a come-on or glorified advertisement.

So for just the "cost" of your email address you can get a wealth of Internet Marketing knowledge from some of the best minds in marketing, online and off, at your fingertips. An added bonus is that every promotion is a class in what to do and how to do it from these brilliant marketers.

Where to Look

Simply go to your favorite search engine and enter "internet marketing". Chances are several of the top results will be from the new breed and will include a free download or more. Alternately you can enter one of the names I mentioned earlier or visit an Internet Marketing Blog where the writer has done the legwork for you.

Download the information. Pay attention and learn. Then use it and give the next generation some of your knowledge for free.
