How to get an Internet Marketing Education Without Spending a Nickel
Do you want to create a passive income? Are you bewildered by all the educational Marketing products out there? Are you on a low budget or trying to escape from a huge debt load? Well, I answered a big "Yes!" to all the above, especially, the last one My job sucks. I can barely make ends meet and I have some medical problems which make a "normal" working lifestyle very difficult. That's why I become an Affiliate. I refer people to a merchant's site and make a decent commission. I run ads on Google linked to the product. It is a really easy way to make money but there is a learning curve involved. Without a solid understanding of Internet marketing, pay-per-clicks and affiliate programs you could waste a lot of money. I did. At first.
But, then I discovered a way to get a free education. You can do it, too. Five Simple Steps to Valuable free Information 1. Search the net for marketing products in the areas you are interested in ie: Affiliate programs, Search Engine optimization, Keywords, website building etc. 2.Find the sign-up for their free newsletter or ezine. All the Marketing Pros have them (but you might have to allow popups on some sites) 3. Sign up for the ezine or join the affiliate programs. 4. Repeat the process. 5. Check your inbox. Now, you may be thinking: "Hold on a sec, there Dave! Aren't these guys just going to pitch the hell out of me for stuff I can't afford? What's in it for me?" All the Web Gurus have to face these questions everyday. How do they stop people from unsubscribing? How do they keep them coming back? Lots and lots of free stuff! They reward their readership on a regular basis because they know "Buy! Buy! Buy!" is not going to... sell. I receive about 40 newsletters from the Uber Affiliates and the like. It's amazing the amount of free info I have acquired. They give away reports and ebooks. They give away How-to's and tutorials. They give you free e-courses and informative interviews. It's a great headstart on your new marketing career but they don't reveal everything. That's when you can judiciously spend your hard-earned dollars on some of their products. It has saved me thousands! So, if you are a running on a shoe string, have the time to read and assimilate tons of good info, and are willing to separate the wheat from the chaff... this method is for you. Oh, and you have to like get something for nothing. That is key. ;) There's gold in them thar emails! Why would anyone buy information or an ebook online when they can find it for free? It takes time to search and acquire all this free information and, as they say: time is money. If you find a product that will immediately provide you with the solutions you need (and you can afford it) I suggest you consider buying the information. I buy as many marketing ebooks as my budget allows. -David Parton

What is Internet Marketing?
Since I sold my last business in 2004 I have been trying
hard to make a living online. Most of my neighbors knew what
my last business was as it was very obvious from the garage
full of soda, water, snacks and vending machines. When I say
garage full I am talking about maybe 1000 to 1500 cases at
least. Yes, I was a vendor and I did this for about 8 years.
8 years of people complaining about out of date soda, warm
candy bars and dimes stuck in the machines. 8 years of
40 foot Pepsi and Coke trucks coming up to my driveway and
unloading materials. 8 years of counting coins and dollar
bills every day. Had it not been for the recession, 9-11 and
the dotcom bust I would probably have grown to where I hired
a few workers and I would still be doing it.

DOI, a Proven Marketing Tool for Driving Traffic and Increasing Search Engine Rankings
The Digital Object Identifier otherwise known as the DOI is not
new. The history of the DOI started when a group of major book publishers realized that the digital age was imminent. They needed an online cataloging system for books on the Internet, not just on book shelves. The ISBN had taken them as far as they could go and was a great bar coding/cataloging system for physical books, but it was not practical for "virtual shelves" where ebooks or digital media live in databases and hard drives. Publishers who use the DOI call it the "digital ISBN." Because of this need, the DOI was born. Now, the versatility of the DOIs are finding their way to other industries.
