When people say internet marketers are crooks and liars and all that, one of the people I point them to is Tellman. He's running across the country BAREFOOT to raise... wait for it... A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS for homeless kids. Businesses can sponsor too. There's a donate button on the site.

And his FEET are in the video. :)

From the page: "Your website is the foundation of your marketing. Give it good bones - a structure that is strong and reliable that will grow along with you and your company. These are the six essential web pages or bones for your website:

1. Home

2. About You

3. Coaching Services

4. Events

5. Ezine

6. Contact"

From the page: "The in-depth report, Analysis V Action, has found that 48 percent of Australian businesses surveyed consider internet marketing a key component to overcoming the challenges faced by the economic downturn. The report also finds that 68 percent of Australian respondents believe that more sophisticated web analysis would boost online sales. "

I agree with this: in comparison to someone else, you ARE an expert. What I don't like is when someone who knows NOTHING about a subject claims to know Everything. I think it's perfectly okay for an intermediate to teach newbies.

"Sidenote: You don't have to be an expert or a "guru" to talk about your own experiences in internet marketing and/or recommend a product as an affiliate that really worked for you. Integrity is important; I'm not suggesting you lie! But there is already and will be even more people who will appreciate learning from someone who's just like them, learning the ropes and sharing their trials. I started my first blog when I was about 2 months in!"

From the page: "Last week's "Black Friday" sales figures are starting to trickle in, and it looks like holiday sales are UP compared to last year!

In fact, according to a report in MarketWatch, PriceGrabber.com (an online comparison shopping service) saw traffic rise by 11% over 2007 during this traditional kick-off to the holiday shopping season."

"And there begins our crux. You see, if I give away some of best secrets of how I've driven traffic to my own website over the years, doesn't it diminish its value? You may think differently, but I think it does. I think it cheapens the information when there's not some sort of exchange."

So true. But you have to make your premium resource better than the free ones that are out there.

One of the superstar AOC writers says: "So, you want to build a brand? Then stop listening to the people and start looking inward. Because branding is not about market research and what other people think, branding is about you."

From the page: "Your channel subscribers are very important, as you realize that those channel subscriptions are like an email newsletter subscription. When you upload a new video to your channel, a notifying email message is sent to them listing your new videos, something that ensures that they will always be up to date with your latest additions."
