When it comes to starting and running an Internet Marketing business, it’s useful to step back and evaluate your progress every now and then.

In my view, Internet businesses fall into one of the following 6 levels…

** The first level is the “getting ready to start” phase.

This is where you are spending an inordinate amount of time and money buying and studying Internet marketing courses…but you aren’t actually selling anything online yet.

** In level 2, you dip your toe in the water. You take some actions that let you generate a few sales online.

The volume and dollar amount of these sales is small—just a few extra dollars in your pocket each week.

** At level 3, you start making a modest number of sales on a steady basis, and your online revenues are a thousand dollars a month.

You’re not getting rich at this level. But to most of us, an extra twelve grand a year isn’t chickenfeed.

In essence, you have a highly profitable hobby. You are having fun and making money in your spare time.

** Your business builds until you reach level 4, which I define as a thousand dollars a week or more.

That translates into around $50,000 a year, a significant, though not life-changing, amount of money for most Americans.

At level 4, you can earn, working an hour or two a day, more than the average American makes in a year at a full-time job.

** At level 5, we go from a thousand dollars a week to a thousand dollars a day.

At level 5, your Internet business is making you well over $300,000 a year in passive income—in the ballpark of what the President of the United States makes.

And you have reached the enviable position of being able to quit your job if you so desire…because you make enough money on the Internet to support your family in a comfortable lifestyle.

** Level 6 is when your Internet marketing business grosses a million dollars a year or more.

At level 6, you are starting to become rich, not just “comfortable” or well off.

A few more comments about some of the levels…

The most common reason I see for people not making money on the Internet is staying “stuck” at level 1 for way too long.

They buy every Internet marketing course they see advertised, attend countless webinars and spend much of their spare time absorbing the material.

The danger is that you become the type of person who’d rather be reading about starting a home business than actually doing it.

To overcome inertia and break through to the next level, you need to stop reading and studying…and actually do something.

Take action now. Start with something small like reserving a domain name. Then set a deadline for creating your first info-product. Start writing your landing page copy. You get the idea.

Do something every day and within 2-3 months you’ll have your first product. As soon as your landing page is up, you’ll start getting a few orders—mostly from organic search if you haven’t done any other marketing yet.

It’s not a small thing. At level 2, making money on the Internet becomes a reality for you, not an abstract concept.

Once you get those first orders in your shopping cart, you’ll taste blood. You’ll be hooked. You’ll be a real Internet marketer, not just a wanna-be.

Once you reach level 5—a thousand dollars of online income a day—you can enjoy a degree of financial security and freedom most folks can only dream about.

You won’t be super-rich. But you’ll have the money to buy most of the things you want and quit your day job if that was your goal.

If you are at level 5, you have to decide whether you want to take the next step and grow to level 6.

You might not.

Reason: most Internet entrepreneurs who reach level 6 find themselves having to make the transition from small one-person business to a “real” company.

They get office and warehouse space, set up a studio for video production, hire salaried employees, get health care plans for them, have company picnics…in short, become a manager.

For me, the best part of being an Internet marketer is the serenity it brings me.

No meetings, no whining employees, no red tape, office politics, or management hierarchy.

Level 5 permits you to lead a simple, quiet life earning a handsome six-figure annual income working at home—without a boss.

For me, at least, that completes the dream. I am content. I would not give up the Internet marketing lifestyle—not even for a million dollars.

It’s just like being retired—steady money coming in from an annuity, while you are free to spend your days as you please.

It is a website like other sites but differs in that it caters to a certain set of people or niche and offer quality information as regards to that particular topic and will permit to readers have access to that subject for a certain membership fee.

Two Types of Membership Sites

There are paid and free membership sites. The paid membership site obviously earns money through fees made by the members whereas the free membership site makes money through ads.

Both paid and free membership sites can make money in a variety of ways, however, paid memberships have a limited number of members and free sites have an unlimited number of members.

A good relationship will be created between the owner and the readers especially if these membership sites continually offers useful information to its members. This relationship develops trust which is what every Internet marketer wants.

Cause this is one of the best damn videos I’ve seen in the last 5 years…

Now only is Jessica the HOTTEST affiliate I’ve EVER seen…

But she’s also developed what can only be described as one of the best money-making systems of all time…

Whether you are looking for money-making ideas, or a second income or just fast easy money, you owe it to yourself to take a look at info-products with Master Resale Rights or Private Label Rights. Below are the top reasons PLR/MRR is a viable web business solution, and why it needs to be something every web marketer should take into consideration.

1. You don’t have to make up any content.

To be sure, it is better to rewrite PLR content such that potential customers can’t get a hint that there’s an earlier version before. But the fact that content is already produced means that you don’t have to write from scratch and you can start selling it straight away.

Please note: Nearly every resale rights packages provide you free control over pricing; nonetheless, some packages have a minimum package price. This is needed so as not to undervalue the package itself. As a business owner, it is vital to have a competitive price, but you do not want to make the price so low that it makes the package appear worthless. Placing minimum prices puts the package value high so it does not become “just another rubbish e-book with resale rights”. It is wise to adhere to the pricing set by the original content authors.

2. The PLR/MRR products can be repackaged.

By combining 2 or more e-books together one can produce a totally new resale rights package that is exclusive for you and your site. By making your packages unique, you create the advantage over other sites which offer similar stuffs. For that reason, the consumers are more likely to buy from you than from others offering the same stuff.

3. Online payment systems are automated.

In an info-product business, there are no physical items to deliver or store. All is done online – the products are stored online and can be sent via e-mail or downloaded from the website. This allows you to have more time for other things.

4. Pre-made sales page is already done.

A majority of PLR/MRR e-books and software have a pre-made sales page. This alone could save you tons of time. Copywriting takes time to master, but almost all resale rights packages have already made a sales page available for you. Most of the sales pages are written by professionals and are written well. For this reason, nearly all sales pages do not allow much changes and won’t give the option of editing the sales page to your liking if you feel it needs some changes.

5. 100% profits!

Unlike affiliate programs where you get only a percentage of each sale, with PLR/MRR you get to keep all of your profits. With the same amount of marketing effort, why join an affiliate program that offers only 30% commissions, when you can have 100% of all profits with PLR/MRR?

Indeed, PLR/MRR is a money-spinning business solution for any online business, and it can be a priceless addition to any existing site looking to branch out. With billions of dollars in annual sales for e-books, software and information products, there is no easier way to make money than this.

DT, one of my subscribers, recently wrote to tell me how much he enjoys my e-mails.

“They are fun to read, and you do supply positive answers and details,” write DT. “So I buy from you when a topic you have fits my paradigms.”

But he was less enamored with the e-mails he is receiving from some of my fellow Internet marketers.

“They come across in a way that literally chases away their customers,” he complained.

DT said of one Internet marketer: “I have bought all of his books in the past so I joyfully joined his list just to get more of his great information.

“Unfortunately I found that most of his posts do not have good information but instead have him ranting about this and that.”

Of another famous Internet marketer, DT complained: “I have been on his list for 3 weeks, and about every day I get a sales letter, and that’s it. I do love sales letters, but not all the time.”

So what did DT do?

“I’ve quit both of their lists and I’ll probably never buy from either of them again,” he told me.

DT’s complaint is not unusual, by the way.

If you send sales messages too frequently…or if too many of your e-mails are pure product pitches vs. useful content…you are going to get complaints.

So how do you find the right frequency and balance between sales and content?

The number of e-mail marketing messages you can send to your list per month depends on several factors.

These factors include the timeliness of your content…value of your content…and the frequency with which you publish your e-newsletter.

Here’s a useful rule of thumb…

If your e-newsletter is published monthly, you can send e-mail marketing messages to the subscribers 2 or 3 times a week.

As an Internet marketer, the more e-mail marketing messages you broadcast to your subscriber list, the more money you make.

Say each time you send an e-mail marketing message to your list, it brings in (on average) $3,000 in revenues.

You send two e-mail marketing messages each week, making $6,000 a week in sales.

If your subscribers tolerate it, and you increase the frequency from 2 to 3 times a week, you’d make $9,000 instead of $6,000 a week and earn an extra $150,000 a year.

How do you know whether your subscribers are OK with the increased frequency or if you are ticking them off?

Keep an eye on your opt-out rate.

Each time you send an e-mail to your list, a small number of subscribers will opt out, asking to be removed from your e-list.

As a rule of thumb, aim for an opt-out rate of 0.1% or less, and certainly no more than 0.2% per e-mail.

If you have a list of 50,000 subscribers and your opt-out rate is 0.1%, you lose 50 subscribers every time you distribute another e-mail to your list.

Measure your opt-out rate so you know the average.

Then, when you increase your e-mail frequency, watch what happens to the opt-out rate.

If it stays the same, you know your subscribers don’t have a problem getting an extra e-mail from you each week.

So send those extra e-mails, and make more money from your Internet business.

Consultant Amy Africa says, “Most online marketers do not mail often enough to their e-list.”

But what if increasing frequency causes your opt-out rate to spike higher?

It means subscribers are telling you they don’t want to hear from you that often…and you should cut back to the old schedule.

What about the ratio of content to sales pitch?

In my monthly e-newsletter, I aim for 80/20—80% or more is pure content, and 20% or less is recommended products.

In my twice-weekly supplemental e-mails, approximately 50% are pure content, and the rest are sales promotions.

To shift the balance more in favor of content, which is what many subscribers prefer, here’s a little trick I use:

When possible, I write my e-mail marketing messages so they read like content e-mails.

Often I actually include content (ideas, tips) in the e-mail marketing message.

When you write your e-mail marketing messages with an educational tone, the reader perceives it as content—even though it is ultimately selling a product.

They are happy. And you make more sales.

One other suggestion…

When you get a complaint from a subscriber about too many e-mail marketing messages, look up the complainer in your shopping cart software.

99 out of 100 times you’ll find this is a person who has never bought a thing from you…and therefore, why do you care what he thinks—or whether he leaves you?

By the way, if your info-publishing niche is marketing, like mine is, your e-mail marketing messages themselves are educational for your readers—showing them how to write e-mail that sell.

In fact, one of my best-selling e-books, “The E-Mail Swipe File“, is a collection of about five dozen of my e-mail marketing messages.

Each chapter includes the full text of the e-mail message, the results it generated and my analysis of why it worked.

Banner marketing can generate immense returns on your investment since it is one of the few marketing mediums that doesn’t need to prove itself. Lots of companies, both big and small are using banner advertising successfully. These banners can generate an incredible response when they are positioned on the right sites in the right way. But getting to that stage won’t happen overnight, since you’ll have to learn the ins and outs of running a successful banner ad campaign. This article will offer you three easy banner suggestions that will skyrocket the profitability of your campaigns.

The first and the most important tip that you need to remember with banner advertising is to research the already successful ads so that you have a fair idea of how it should be done. You can find high traffic websites, check out their ad rates, and then look at their banners. Those are expensive banner spaces, so there is no doubt that marketers put a lot into their banner designs and copy.

Be sure to always test out your ad links. Whatever the destination URL, just give a quick check to make sure it goes there. Sometimes graphics and images can render differently across browsers, so that is another important item to verify. It’s just a little common sense and so easy to check and take care of before problems happen. If there are problems with image rendering, then you’ll have to figure out what the issue is and take care of it.

You never know how all the people find your ad, and the page your ad is on could pop up in the search engines after they perform a search. For best conversions, you must only advertise on sites that are related to the subject of your offer. One thing you can do to help is use your keyword in the banner copy or the banner ad name. If you are constantly striving to tweak and improve your campaigns, then there is no way you cannot succeed with banner advertising. You’ll have to do a lot of testing but eventually what matters is how well your efforts are paying off and with banner advertising, there’s no doubt that you’ll get a good response in the long run. One of the most effective ways to grow an online business is by leveraging banner ads to send targeted visitors to your site.

Joint venture marketing is nothing more than helping other businesses while you utilize their influence for the growth of your own business. It is a simple partnership that can be upgraded to another level because of the advancements of the Internet. There are tons of Internet marketers that made it big because they became partners with other Internet companies in their related niches. What makes it even better is that joint venture marketing is not that hard to do and can go into many different directions. These 3 joint venture marketing suggestions will land your business on an entirely different level.

One of the most successful ways to use joint venture marketing is to partner up with someone that’s doing business in your niche by creating an e-book or a report together that you both can give away for free. This report could be about anything that’s related to your niche market but it has to be short and powerful. The e-book must address specific problems and offer valuable solutions. Include links to the sites you and your joint venture partner are promoting in the e-book for additional exposure. People love getting something free, take advantage of that! It’s not necessary to create a complicated e-book but you do need to devote equal effort to creating and distributing the e-book.

The second joint venture idea has to do with becoming a partner with another website owner in your niche to exchange testimonies or endorsements. You will actually talk to the people to see if they will review your products or services and then provide a testimony that they can post. When you do everything as you’re supposed to, you’ll see tons of traffic and sales, and that’s just what you want. Try and get endorsed by the known experts in your niche because that will give your business the boost it needs.

Last but not least, if you have an opt-in list, you can trade e-zine, solo and even autoresponder advertisements with other online business owners who are also working with your subject matter. Merely find another list that has to do with the subject matter you’re dealing in and ask if you can exchange ads. The best thing about this idea is that it can send in a surge of traffic to your website in a short amount of time. This has the potential to form a long-term business friendship that will drastically increase profits and expansion. All in all, joint venture marketing can be described as a wonderful chance for business owners who want a free way to mature their businesses and form new relationships. We all realize that business success depends on the relationships that are produced. This just means that when you agree to joint ventures, you are making a better business, but you are laying the background for future campaigns.

Copywriting is one of the most valuable skills that an Internet marketer can have. Why is that? When you want to make money online, you need to work hard to earn your prospects’ trust and that is incredibly hard to do when your copy is not well written. Remember that you don’t have a chance to convince your visitors face to face, which is why having a salesletter that gives results is important. Keep reading to learn what you can do to write good copy.

First, when you begin a sales copy, do not talk about what the product does, but instead tell the readers why the product will help them with their problems. All in all, you have to show them how the product will help them more than what the product has. This is because no one is really interested in the features, but more on how these features will be useful to them.

If you want to give a list of product features in your sales copy, make sure that you provide a list of benefits to go along with each feature. This would make it simple for your customers to know how much value your product has, which will also keep you above the competition. Your customers will now be capable of identifying with your product because they know how it can solve their problems. So always disclose the benefits first. Testing your copy is critical. Don’t focus on just the heading; test the content, subheadings, links and the graphics on the page. A successful copywriter knows the value of proper testing because it not only helps you correct your mistakes but also improve the results you’re getting from your copy. Testing is a great way to tell what works and what doesn’t work. There are times when you see a massive change in the response by making a small tweak to the headline or by cutting down a few bullet points. As long as you continuously monitor and test your copy, you are guaranteeing your business a better potential return on investment.

Reassure your audience by offering a strong guarantee within your sales copy. By giving an iron-clad guarantee, you’re showing your prospects that you believe in your product and stand by it. Offering a longer guarantee will decrease the rate of refunds as people are more likely to keep products that offer a long refund period. Your guarantee makes people feel comfortable buying from your site. These tips should help you realize that writing professional quality sales copy isn’t that difficult. Just remember that these basic ideas are essential to the creation of a strong foundation for your salesletters. There are many new Internet marketers who tend to ignore creating a sales copy but they forget that it can make the difference between success and failure.

The most popular products you can sell online are information products. First, your upfront costs are practically non-existent to produce this product because you are basically sharing your knowledge about something. Yes, it does require a bit of preparation in advance but that is simply a small part of the whole. Even so, there are still Internet marketers who aren’t too comfortable with the idea of creating their own info-products. In the following article we will be looking at 3 different info-product suggestions you can start using right away.

One of the most established methods to make an information product is to compile an e-book. This is right; don’t mistake an e-book for a traditional one. E-books have always been favorite forms of informational products because people like to read them and seek solutions for their issues. People do not have a lot of time when they are looking at online information, which is why your e-book has to be concise. You should concentrate on giving people a detailed answer to their unsolved problems. For instance, acne is a big problem for tons of people, so if you create an e-book that tells about ways to eliminate acne for good, it will be very successful. Find the painful areas of the market and then write an e-book that is full of informational solutions.

Another concept is to run webinars and ask people to log in for a cost.

This could consist of holding a webinar, bootcamp, conference, etc. For example, if you have a background in copywriting, you could hold a ‘live’ webinar and talk about how you started in copywriting. They could interact with you ‘live’ during the webinar and present any concerns that they may have. It’s one of the liveliest ways of creating an information product that will have a high sales response since it’s happening in real-time.

Last but not the least; if you are really sure about your knowledge and skills then you should create a home study course that gives your customer the utmost value. This course needs to be extensive, which means, you can charge a high price for it. Creating a home study course is not that complex; it just requires a lot of planning.

To conclude, this article clearly shows the different methods that can be used to create a product that is unique and generates brilliant results. It requires little time to create a product and the best bit is that you work only once and you keep on earning. Besides that, once you start creating information products, you’ll discover that there is a never ending demand for knowledge and you’ll be able to sell it for a price.

Selling and creating online or e-books is nothing new. E-books are a concept that many Internet marketers are still reluctant to embrace. They are often scared about what they should write, how they should write it and who or when to sell it to. You don’t need to worry about all of that stuff just yet, it’s most important to just get busy writing the e-book, and a high quality one too. Quality plays a major role when it comes to marketing e-books. Regardless of what business you are in the quality of the product is the one thing that cannot nor should not ever be compromised. We will talk about a few e-book writing tips that are unorthodox to help you in the long run.

The first step in the process, after you choose your subject, is to research your audience. This step comes even before you start to write your e-book. If you do this step your writing will be a lot more powerful. You can’t get your audience to relate to you if you don’t know much about them. So who are the people who are going to read your work? You need to know your audience’s demographic. Are these people already experts on the subject or are they beginners? How much money are they willing to spend for the information? This is how you create a loyal group of customers who will buy more of your stuff in the future.

An important part of your e-book is the title. What is the first thing that attracts you towards an e-book? Of course we all know it is the title that sets your e-book apart, after that is the remaining content. Optimizing your title is only half the battle. The English language is complicated, it’s important that you are comfortable with it in order to write effective titles.

You will not grab the attention of your target audience if your title is not effective. Carefully title your e-book with a title that attracts attention. Anyone with copywriting experience knows the value of an attention-grabbing title. You can come up with several ideas and jot them down before choosing the best one between them all. Seek the guidance of a friend who can offer suggestions. Once you know that your title is indeed apt and is getting you good results in your test rounds, then stick to it.

Now you can start writing your rough draft. So initially, you don’t even have to think a lot but simply start writing whatever comes to your mind. You should focus completely on writing; editing comes into play when you write your second draft. All you have to focus on is writing and nothing else. All of your ideas are fresh right now so don’t lose them by stopping to correct a misspelled word.

Lastly, don’t dismiss the power of owning your own product; this is how the majority of big marketers got to where they are now. Don’t underestimate the power of these techniques; they are proven techniques that work.

Two minutes.

That’s how long it could take to net you $60, $120 or even more.

It’s certainly not some kind of joke.

The details are laid out in Justin Elenburg’s latest video.

If you haven’t watched it yet, do it now.

Grab a pen and paper and take notes. Because the strategies revealed in this 100% free video could make you a ton of money.

Once every few years someone comes along in marketing and really throws everyone a curveball. They expose the lies of everyone before them, then sell you a way to make it all true.

But this video is selling you NOTHING. He’s giving away the secret!

In this video, Justin reveals an almost entirely overlooked mobile marketing strategy that actually works!

And here’s the cool part: using this method, you get paid even if you NEVER make a single sale!

And it works like gangbusters on the 81% of the population who don’t have a “smart” phone.

So again, it’s not a “tease” or some clever marketing ploy.

Justin literally tells you exactly what you need to do in order to create amazing results with your own mobile campaigns.

After you’ve finished watching it, you can instantly start doing what he does to make serious bank.

Did you see Brendon Burchard has passed over 9,500 comments on his Experts Academy series? Incredible. Now he’s doing a complimentary webinar that I think is a “must-attend”.

Brendon is teaching a webinar called the “5 Most Lucrative Paths to Monetizing Your Advice & How-To Content Online”. It doesn’t cost anything, and you can register here.

You’ll learn:

– Which marketing strategies work best online TODAY
– Why people would pay you thousands for YOUR advice
– What types of advice and content you should release (and when)
– Five example paths that all lead to $1,000,000

If, and I mean IF, it were possible to make that kind of revenue online—I mean millions of dollars—leveraging your genius and life experience, how would you begin?

It’s a tough question and a perplexing problem that Brendon had to ask himself years ago when he was on the verge of bankruptcy. Back then, he had nothing but a dream to inspire and instruct people on how to improve their lives.

Then, as you’ve probably heard, Brendon made $4.6 million in under 24 months by leveraging his advice through books, speeches, seminars, coaching, and online training and information marketing.

He told me that money never meant much to him—because he never had any—but he had to learn how to get revenue coming in to sustain his message and mission.

So, he put together a plan.

On this one-time only webinar, he’ll share his five favorite paths to making $1,000,000 online. Of course, not everyone will be able to do it. But I’m glad Brendon is ambitious enough for you to teach it anyway.

To register for the webinar, click here.

Personally, I think sharing your voice and advice with the world is a worthwhile endeavor whether you make money or not, but as Brendon says, “You might as well be compensated for what you know, and earn an income for all the impact you can have.”

Take notes. It’s going to be a great webinar.

Everybody likes shortcuts.

We program our GPS units to take the shortest route to our destination. We pick checkout aisles at the grocery store which have the fewest customers ahead of us in line. We buy gadgets and gizmos to help us more quickly improve our golf game, lose weight, cut our debt and so forth.

Truth be told, we like shortcuts. We like getting whatever it is we want in the fastest, easiest way possible.

The same can be said for our businesses, right? All things being equal, we’d like to “speed up” profitability. We’d like to get to our income destination with the shortest route possible.

Is marketing cheating?

MW seems to think so.

On my blog, she challenged me for saying that my book is an “Amazon best-seller”.

MW didn’t accuse me outright of lying.

Nor should she, considering my book “Persuasive Presentations for Business” (Entrepreneur Press) reached the #2 spot on the Amazon non-fiction best-seller list.

What MW didn’t like is that I used e-mail marketing to promote sales of my book on Amazon.

In fact, you may be familiar with the marketing technique I used, which has become known as “The Instant Amazon Best-Seller Formula”.

Used by many Internet marketers, including Mary Ellen Tribby and Michael Masterson to name just two, this method was pioneered—I believe—by Joe Vitale.

The way it works is simple…

You send an e-mail to your subscribers promoting your book…and get lots of your joint venture partners and affiliates to do the same.

By the way, you can read more about the Instant Amazon Best-Seller Formula.

You offer subscribers a bribe—a bunch of free bonus reports contributed by you and your partners—as an incentive to buy your book.

Here’s the trick: to get the bonus reports, they must purchase the book from Amazon.com on the date you specify.

If they buy it elsewhere or on another day, no bonus gifts for them.

That way, the orders all come in on Amazon on the same day, driving your book way up in the Amazon sales rankings for that day.

MW and many other people I have talked with think that the Instant Amazon Best-Seller Formula is somehow cheating—rigging the system to make our books instant temporary best-sellers.

And it’s true, we are manipulating the system.

But what’s wrong with that?

It’s called MARKETING: using promotions (in this case, e-mail) to promote a product (in this case, our books) to increase sales.

Novels by James Patterson are heavily promoted in radio advertising designed to sell more copies.

Does that mean they are somehow not “real” best-sellers, because they were advertised?

Same thing with Oprah…

If your publicist gets your book into the Oprah Book Club, you are almost guaranteed an instant best-seller.

So why is it perfectly legitimate to advertise your book on radio or in the newspaper or publicize it on TV but a “no-no” to e-mail your subscribers (who have opted into your list because they are actually interested in what you write)?

Answer: Because e-mail marketing is direct marketing.

And direct marketing has always had an image problem with the press and the public.

After all, direct mail is called “junk mail”.

So why aren’t TV commercials called “junk TV”?

It is true that a small percentage of products sold through direct marketing have been of questionable value, quality, or legitimacy.

But that doesn’t make direct marketing uniquely sleazy vs. other forms of sales and marketing.

A small percentage of businesses in every distribution channel and industry are crooked and take advantage of unwary consumers.

For instance, it was mainly Madison Avenue that told us we’d be cool and popular if we smoked cigarettes.

And it is general advertising, not direct marketing, that has our kids growing obese and unfit on fast food French fries and sugar-filled junk food.

Because direct marketing often relies on long copy to make the sale, there are many folks who tell me they find long copy distasteful and sleazy—especially “all those long copy salesletters on the web” as one of my readers puts it.

Again, this is a pretty silly attitude when you think about it.

The longer the copy, the more information you are given about the product.

Is there something inherently unethical or inappropriate about giving prospects more information with which to make an intelligent buying decision?

Of course not.

But the real question for you as an entrepreneur is: despite direct marketing’s less-than-sterling reputation in the minds of some consumers, should you use it to sell your product online and offline?

The answer is easy: unequivocally, yes.

Fortunately for us, the number of consumers who respond to direct response marketing is enough to give us highly profitable promotions.

So direct marketing remains an extremely effective method of selling merchandise and services.
