***Relationship marketing. Oh? Back to pub again. Write that down.

***Open rates, conversion ratio's, CPM's. What heck? Math too? Yeah, right. Next stop.

***Build opt-in list for long term. Long term? Sorry, rents due on Tuesday. Bye!

***"Men, Enlarge Yo ...!" Ooops. Off topic. But ... write that down!

***Make time to help others in market specific forums. Didn't you hear me first time? I said, "Tuesday"!

***"Turn $25 Into $10,000 While You're In Shower!". Whoa! This could be it! Note: "Fix shower!"

***Give away something valuable, free. Oh, that's precious. Bound to be very impressive down at bank too. Next!

***Viral marketing? You've got to be kidding! If you think I'm gonna be sitting here while I'm sniffling, sneezing and feeling achy all over, I've got news for you!

Whew! This is a little tiring after all. Time for a break.

Holy guacamole! Look at my mailbox! Boy, did I get popular! And how did they know I was looking for Internet Secret? Wonderful, 347 messages telling me they've had it whole time!

Piece of cake. Eat your heart out, Indy.

Author's note: Perhaps real *internet secret* consists of many, many *little secrets*, or marketing tasks. Dozens upon dozens, in fact, that aren't really secrets at all. Some as simple as a signature file. Others as demanding as publishing a newsletter.

Do a handfull of them well, and progess begins. Consistently add new *secrets* to your marketing arsenal, and sky's limit.

The store gets publicity - not clerk. Same with affiliate programs.

If you, affiliate, steers someone to a certain book and they buy it, they will say they got it from ABC Marketer - not you (the affiliate) who really did most of work, rounding up buyer and sending them to marketer.

Why do they remember store, affiliate owner, name of a car dealership, etc. and not salesman? Because book, store, auto dealership are branded - they are usually a household name.

There lies difference in affiliate programs and this new marketing concept. Now, you can be branded - now you can be known. Now you can get publicity.

Why get publicity? Because publicity = $$$$. Plus you get to keep 100% of sale up front and your links in books keep making money for you!

Are you beginning to see difference? You are "owner", your name and links are in book, for all time, as long as that book exists.

You don't get paid just one time, but perhaps many, many times - one year, two years, even five years down road, as more and more people see, read and click on your links in book.

Furthermore, remember that book we talked about at beginning? That big-all-encompassing book that would tell you everything you needed to know about Internet marketing, and ended up on shelf only partly read and not understood. Well, as I said, now you can learn while you earn.

You see, each of books you receive from your association covers one subject - in depth, not just a quick skim. So you can master one part of Internet Marketing at a time. At same time you will be earning and building your business, your future.

This is new revolution, but it won't be new for long. So if I were you I'd get me a big piece of this pie while it's fresh.

I've found two good ones so far and I have them on my site. There may be others - if not, there will be. I know I'm getting in on start. I like to get my piece of pie when it's hot. Better check this out before your piece of pie gets cold.
