"The 101 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Internet Marketing ... and One Good Answer to Each."

When you can make $100,000+ a year with a spare-time Internet business, you never have to worry about money — or being out of work — ever again!

Dear Reader:

It’s really pretty easy to earn a six-figure income in your spare-time with your own home-based Internet marketing business.

But the reason you haven’t done it yet is that you have questions about starting and running your own Internet business … questions that haven’t been answered to your satisfaction.

How do you build your prospect list? How do you store and manage their e-mail addresses?

How often should you e-mail your prospects? How do you get people on your e-list to buy from you?

How do you set up landing pages to sell products and take orders online? How do you drive traffic to your landing pages?

How can you source or create profitable products? Where do you store inventory and fill the orders?

Well, now you can quickly get concise, accurate answers to your Internet marketing questions — and finally get your online business up and running.

You’ll find the answers you need in the e-book I’ve written with Frank Girard, 101 Questions About Internet Marketing Answered.

Every day I get calls and e-mails from people imploring me to help them get started in Internet marketing.

Well, they’re out of luck. My hourly rate is $500. And with a 10-hour minimum consulting fee, payable in advance, you have to write a $5,000 check to hire me. That’s a lot for an individual just starting out. (I deliberately price myself out of range, because I hate consulting and coaching).

In 101 Questions About Internet Marketing Answered, you get my proven formula for starting a successful Internet business, with all your important questions answered. And it won’t cost $5,000 … or $500 … or even $100 to get my system!
