It’s true.

If I were a negative person I would think that I’ve arrived too late…but perhaps I’ve arrived just in nick of time.

I have spent many months reading EVERYTHING I could find on internet marketing. I purchased so many products that I received a phone call one night from Credit Card Fraud to check that my card hadn’t been used illegally as there were SO MANY transactions!

I’ve also joined what I consider to be a very good ebook reseller via a monthly fee giving me reprint rights to more ebooks than I could count, only to read on a discussion board of one of most respected net gurus that it is now considered that ebook marketing is dead!

Well, what do you think I thought when I read that little beauty? Suffice it to say, it can’t be printed in this article.

My mind went frantic. Was all my research and hard work for nothing? What was I to do? I’d spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars (let’s leave it there shall we) in past few months buying rights to products…reading obsessively (all before a website was even created) to be told that every ebook I now had rights to was, in effect, worthless?

It can’t be. Or can it? :O(

If it really IS dead is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Well, I do know one thing…it means HARD work. But I’ve never been afraid of hard work and I always seem to have done things hard way so it is NO surprise to me that now that I’ve finally found what I’ve been looking for all my life everything has changed.

What can you do to make your site or offer even better to get ready for these people? How can you organize what you are doing to become more effective?

CHECK YOUR WEB SITE First, let's look at your web site. Is it optimized for search engines? You MUST be sure to have keyworded titles for each of your pages and USE meta-tags for each page. This raises question, what keywords should I use? This can be a tough question and, in some cases, will so stump webmaster that they let these valuable tools go unused!

The solution is to use a keyword tool that will tell you which keywords are most popular. When you type in first word that pops into your mind relating to your offer, you will get a list of how many times that word was used in a search and also a list of related keywords and how many times they were used! You can even use related words in subsequent inquiries until you have a long list of very popular keywords. Best of all, this tool is totally free!

SUBMIT YOUR SITE FREE Next, how will you get it listed for free? Believe it or not, submitting your site to search engines using World Submitter does work!

Many people complain about this service because of all email they receive in return, but truth is, even if you only use search engine submitter, it works! I have gotten as high as #6 at MSN for a common search phrase like "targeted email advertising" using World Submitter ALONE! Don't neglect using this effective free tool!

Assuming you are promoting your offer on a regular basis, next most important thing you can do to get ready for Fall is to organize your follow-ups.
