Internet Marketing Basics

Wow, I borrowed a room from a friend for a couple of days and I ended up liking it so much that I got one for myself. It's brilliant stuff, unlimited seating, great price, whiteboard, multiple presentation modes and too many features to mention here.

If you've started to get to know me at all now, you know I totally refuse to hype up anything, so you can take my word when I say this conference software is just brilliant!!

Here's the download link to my room http://annamarketing.com/NJAEroom.exe
(if you downloaded it last week, you need to delete the old one and get this new one) Please do feel free to drop by and say Hi to me, I`ll even give you a little demonstration of how the conference room works if you ask me nicely enough... hehehe

So, if you've got internet marketing questions, Hints, Tips or Ideas you'd like to share with somebody, want a demo of the sofware or maybe you'd just like to shoot the breeze in general about marketing online then Come join me in my conference room. Free, immediate download here: http://annamarketing.com/NJAEroom.exe

So, now that I've got that off my chest..lol, nah seriously though, we've been having a blast in the room so far, a bunch of JV's have started taking form, lotsa people have been helping each other with lots of different tips, advice and ideas, so even when there's only 2 or 3 people in the room, there's usually plenty being said ;~)

Ok, onto the Free Advertising Giveaway. I had word yesterday that it's ending sometime tomorrow so this IS absolutely your last chance to check it out, and most likely my last post about it. Hopefully, you've already been and grabbed as much of the advertising as possible and it's working for you. If not, then scoot on over there now to make sure you don't miss out :~D

Until next time
Enjoy!

Well, it's official. The FreeAdvertising Giveaway will be ending in a few days time. Not exactly sure of the date, but it definitely won't be available for much longer. So if you haven't grabbed any of the over $7400 worth of advertising offers totally free, I'd highly suggest that you rush on over and check it out. http://freeadvertisinggiveaway.com/go/45

Now, on to more fun stuff. Thanks to Gene the graphics guy I now have a conference room to stay in touch with my subscribers, friends and contacts. It's really cool with audio, video, presentation modes and a whiteboard feature. I only got it yesterday, so I've been having a blast playing around in there and checking it out.

The plan is to eventually set up certain chat-times and topics around what my subscribers are interested in. It'll take some time to get people to come in, although just yesterday there were about 10 of us in there in total, just shooting the "internet marketing" breeze. Was quite cool actually :~D

Here's a copy of the mail I sent to my NJAE subscribers:

I know, I know, it's VERY unlike me to send you 2 mails in 2 days, but I just wanted to let you know that after last weeks issue where I told you I was thinking of maybe having a chatroom a friend of mine got me set up with one :~D

If you fancy dropping by to chat with me in person about anything, please feel free. I'll stay in the chatroom as much as I can over the weekend from now until Sunday (just don't expect to see me when Eastenders is on TV..lol).

All you have to do is download the chat software (save it to your desktop) and open it, simple as pie. Here`s the download link:
http://annamarketing.com/NJAEroom.exe

Got something on your mind? Questions? Ideas? Hints? Tips? I hope you`ll come along and share them with me. This is the first time I've actually had a chatroom of my own (although I HAVE moderated tons of them) so let's look on this weekend as a trial run, eh?

If lots of NJAE members are interested, we could probably set up a few chat-times that would hopefully suit multiple members to meet up and get to know each other. Maybe even help each other out with things, or brainstorm together. I`m sure we can think up tons of uses for the room ;~)

That link again in case you missed it: http://annamarketing.com/NJAEroom.exe

I look forward to seeing you there. Oh, before I forget: a mic and speakers are good in the room but not mandatory ;~)

As one of my b. l. o. g. readers, I'd like to also extend this invitation to you. If you fancy dropping by for a chat, or just to check the software out please do so whenever you get the chance.

Until next time...
Have a blast :~D

I did it! I finally finished the Real Life Marketer Interviews e-book! Woohoo!

And of course, after my NJAE subscribers, my b. l. o. g. readers are the first to know. Heck, I haven`t even put it up on the website or anything yet. I did let a couple of people have a sneak peek at it just before it was finished, and they loved it :~D

I decided to keep it as a freebie, free to own and free to give away. I must say though, the interviewees have offered up so many great hints and tips and so much practical advice that I would personally gladly pay for the book if I hadn`t written it myself... LOL, and you know me, I hate to pay for anything unless I really have to ;~)

Anyway, if you want the book, it`s available for download here:

Click image to get your copy now!




I really hope you enjoy the book, and that it might turn out to be a great freebie for you to pass along to others. Use it as a free gift on your website, or as something that people get if they subscribe to your optin lists or similar.

If you have any feeback, I`d love to hear it. If you have any ideas, hints tips or info that I might be able to use in future ebooks, please send them along to me too. If I use them, I`ll make sure you get a copy of the ebooks I use them in ;~)

Oh yeah, I`ve already started on Volume 2...lol

Anyway, until next time....
Enjoy and happy reading :~)

I just love the power of networking, it makes the whole internet marketing scene so much more worthwhile.

I was sitting in the warriors porch room with Gene Barry of http://www.graphics4marketers.com and another great guy called Jeffrey. Jeffrey came up with the idea of a graphic possibly being made for people to use on their websites to help Dr. Mani promote the CHD cause.

I asked Gene if he could make a graphic for my site, and boy, he had it done within 2 minutes!!

Anyway, I`ve added the graphic to my site and my blog, and I hope lots more of you will do the same, as this is a really important cause.

So if you want to copy the graphic, just right click and choose save as and upload it to your site or blog. If you just want to help out, click on the heart to see how you can do that too ;~)




A huge great big thanks to Jeffrey for the idea and Gene for the creation. You guys are stars :~D

Dr. Mani, i hope this can help at least a little. Keep up the great work.

Anna

Wow, I woke up this morning to find that somebody had actually posted a comment on here, and not only that, but it was a really helpful one too. Very Very Cool. I actually didn`t know if anybody would ever find this thing interesting enough to leave a comment, maybe I should promote it more to see if I can get more visitors and more comments? I went and visited the posters b. l. o. g. and it`s pretty cool, so I`m gonna link to him under "Sites To See"

Anyway: Tim! A great big old thanks to you for being my first comment poster and for being so helpful. I`m glad you let me know that the clickbankbuddy and google ads on the same place isn`t allowed, I`d hate to lose the google account. So I removed the clickbankbuddy ads, I already have them on my main site anyway, so it wasn`t exactly any hardship to me ;~) Thanks again!

Apart from that, I was reading in a forum today that Paypal doesn`t have a masspay option in UK accounts????!!! Eeeeeek! Now what am I gonna do?? I was planning to use paypal to pay affiliates who sell my ebook for me. Anybody know if there`s any other options available, or do I just have to pay them one by one? Ugh, that`s looking like it could become hard work..lol

Hey, if any dog lovers should happen to drop by here, answer me this: why is my alsatian acting anorexic?? She keeps getting stages where she just won't eat! She goes really skinny and loses tons of fur. It looks awful. The vets couldn`t figure out what was up with her, even though I paid em close to £300. I mean, she`l start eating again suddenly, and look fine, but as soon as she`s nearing her heat cycle (which is WAY too often) she stops eating again... Weird dog... (I know, I know, this is totally "off-topic" but it`s REALLY got me perplexed.)

As for the FreeAdvertisingGiveaway, I was pleasantly surprised when they added a special one-time offer and I actually made a sale without realizing until I received $47 thru paypal. That was a GREAT way to start the morning :~D

Until next time

I`ve always been in awe of Dr.Mani Sivasubramanian. He`s a heart surgeon turned internet marketer kinda guy. Everything he does online is centered around making things better for children with heart problems.

I`ve been watching him for a long time now, and just today I was reading a post by him in one of the internet marketing forums I visit on a regular basis.

I`ve never really been in a position to help, but here`s my first step in helping, by responding to his post.

I'm writing to request your support for a very
special event to help children.

A DAY FOR HEARTS - Congenital Heart Defects
(CHD) Awareness Day
http://www.CHDinfo.com/chdaware/

The aim of the event is to highlight the
problem of heart birth defects.

Last year, with the support of many webmasters,
ezine publishers and online marketers, over
50,000 people visited our CHD Special website
in a week - and many more told friends and
family about it!

This year, again, CHD Awareness Day is being
observed on 14th February.

Here is a ready made mail he`s done up for ezine publishers and website owners to use. Please do take the time to see if you can help out a little. Pass it on to friends, colleagues and associates, and be happy in the knowledge that you`re helping kids have a better chance at life.

Hi there...

Just a quick note to let you know about something a good
friend of mine is doing that I hope you'll want to help with.

Dr.Mani Sivasubramanian, heart surgeon and webmaster of
'Heart Disease Online' has joined an effort to help children
with birth defects of the heart receive medical treatment.

"A Day For Hearts: Congenital Heart Defects Awareness Day"
is a global publicity event that focuses attention on the
deadly problem of heart defects in kids. The aim: to
spread awareness about the problem and raise funds to help
some children get a chance to live.

http://www.CHDinfo.com/chdaware/

Think for a moment about a child you love. Imagine how you'd
feel if that child had a heart condition. Then think about
how bad it would be if this child couldn't receive treatment.

Then ask yourself if you would do something to help, to make
sure this won't happen to another child somewhere else. A
child without access to medical attention, or with a family
that's simply too poor to afford the cost of lifesaving
treatment.

Now imagine the power you have. If you - and a few hundred
more people like you - help, we could easily raise awareness
about this situation - and maybe even help a few children
receive a life saving operation. And if you tell five or
more friends, the impact could be greater.

You could help change a child's future - literally.

Do whatever you can. Every little bit adds up - fast.
Start today. Go to

http://www.CHDinfo.com/chdaware/

And please, spread the word. Forward this note to anyone you
think might be willing to help out. Tell your friends,
family, customers, contacts - everyone.

Then treat yourself to a smile. You'll have earned it.

GIVE -- so a child may live!

Well, it went off with a bang, and there`s seemingly been tons of traffic sent to the free advertising giveaway. Upto now I`ve received 89 new subscribers from it, not bad in just a couple of days :~)

Ok, so maybe it`s not totally 100% free in the sense that you DO either have to susbcribe to a newsletter or join a traffic exchange or whatever to actually GET the advertising, but at the same time, it IS advertising the owners usually SELL to their members. Dunno about you, but I grabbed as much of the stuff as I could ;~)

Of course, my "small" list of less than 1000 subscribers can`t compete with the lists of the "big guys" who are taking part in the joint venture, so I`m not showing up as one of the highest promoters of it.

I reckon I`ve done pretty good though, considering.. I mean, I`m still no further down the list of contributers than between numbers 45 and 50, and as there`s 120 of them listed, I think I`m doing pretty good :~)

Anyway, if you haven`t got hold of the advertising offered yet, you might want to check it out. I heard it`s going to be time limited, but the guys who put it all together haven`t said WHEN it`s over yet...

http://freeadvertisinggiveaway.com/go/45

Feel free to let me know what you think.

Anna

I hope you`re wide awake and waiting for this mail, as it`s the one I promised you about all that lovely paid advertising for free! Ok, so they started early, but hey, either way the website is LIVE!

Is this THE biggest free advertising JV ever??!!
http://freeadvertisinggiveaway.com/go/45

The website is more than likely gonna be experiencing HEAVY amounts of traffic, which they`ve hopefully allowed for. If you should by any chance experience any problems, please do keep trying. There`s so much inside there that I couldn`t even begin to tell you everything.

So go on, grab as much advertising as you can get as quick as you can get it, and hopefully you`ll get some great traffic that will convert into website vistors, ezine subscriptions, sales and so on and so on.

Also, please feel free to pass this mail on to a friend or 2 (without spamming, of course..lol) The more people I can send to the site, the higher up in the list of JV partners I get to stay ;~)

Here`s that link again:

Until next time...

A very important mail I sent to my NJAE subscribers this week, and yes, I`ll post to this thing right after sending the next mail out about this ;~):

Well, according to the NJAE survey I ran, the thing that most of you are interested in is HOW to bring traffic to your websites.

Because of this, I joined a group of 100 marketers who are offering some great free advertising. Remember, I mentioned it in the ezine this week? Well, they just sent me a mail to send out to you, with a time and date so that you can be ready for the launch.

Me being me, I decided against sending out the standardized email and write to you myself instead :~D

All of the traffic options being offered are normally things that cost money, but for this "promotion" it's all free, and quite honestly, I can`t wait to get my hands on some of it.

Anyhow, launchdate is set to Sunday 6th Feb at 8AM EST, which means I`m going to have to be awake at 3am GMT to send you the mail, which I`m more than willing to do as a chance like this doesn`t come around too often :~)

So if YOU are one of the people who wants to get a ton of paid traffic to your site for the whole huge price of NOTHING, then watch out for a mail from me on Sunday at 8AM EST. I know, most people won't be awake then, but some of you will ;~)

I've no doubt a lot of you will be getting a LOT of emails about this on Sunday, from various lists you're subscribed to, and although I`d love you to get the traffic no matter WHO sends you to the site I`d feel really special if it was me.. hehehe

Oh, and by signing up for some of the traffic, you WILL be helping me out too, and I'll remember that :~D

Until next time...


Anna
