Ultimate short-cut? That's right.

Many are led to believe that this isrepparttar 119659 holy grail of marketing online.

But, if this is your idea of a perfect internet marketing strategy, think again.

Here's how it works...

It's easy. Create a crappy product and contact every 'sap' who has an opt-in list of 40,000 subscribers or a website that gets a few hundred hits a day. Then ask them all to promote your stuff.

Have you ever received an email asking you to buy a drug that you have absolutely no use for?

The same rule applies: targeting
