Hi all,

NOTE: The domain I've used to launch my latest Instant Movie Making project mentioned below has been hijacked, so I'm moving it overnight onto: www.instant-movie-making.com instead and you'll be able to view the site from Saturday.

TOP POSTS #84 and a question for you?

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Let me ask you a controversial question...

"How is it that most successful internet marketers talk about
making money by selling stuff to non-marketers, but then in
reality... very few of them appear to actually do that?"

It seems like 95% of internet marketing revolves around
selling advice to other marketers!

Hmm. And you actually believe these guys?

Personally I like to do a bit of both. First I try things out
by using online marketing techniques to sell to a wider crowd,
then -- and only when #1 has really worked -- I'll talk about
it to a select group of other online marketers, if I have time.

Here's an example...

This week I've launched my latest 'How To' toolkit. This time
it's aimed at 'wannabe' Film Makers or even those who have a
bit of experience and would like to take things further.

The project is called 'Instant Movie Making' and you can read
about it here: http://www.instant-movie-making.com

If you've spent any time at all involved in internet marketing
then you'll immediately spot the techniques in play in that
letter. Click here now http://www.instant-movie-making.com and
look for the 2 different list building techniques I've employed.

Check to see how I've used one 'dying' internet marketing
technique, but only at the 11th hour, as folks leave the site.

Visit again, and notice how I'm split-testing the page, one
element at a time, with the title altering on your second visit.

Really want to know if internet marketing works beyond selling
more junk to other online marketers?

Click http://www.instant-movie-making.com to see how I put the
techniques into action to sell to a crowd of film makers, most
of whom will never have even heard of a popover or split-test!

Now ask yourself, "how can I do the same thing?"

Now on with TOP POSTS #84...

Service Pack 2 Ebook Problem and Possible Solution

... Scott Parat posts about a possible solution to a problem

I smugly tell you that PDFs are always a better solution, check
in on this thread and let Scott know whether this solution
works and find out whether your own eBooks are affected, whether
you are a buyer or a seller >>>

Best software to start a blog (preferably FOC!)

Forum help? You bet! Find out which blog software works the

ClickBank membership script?
============================

... Brian Terry is looking for a membership script which
integrates with ClickBank and Jimmy Boyd, Scott Parat and others
think they have the solution. Michael Mayhew is kind enough to
point out that my Easy-Download Protector script does this and
I'm about to launch an upgrade to cater for membership expiry
and renewals too. Final beta testing stage right now. So which
ClickBank script is right for you? Find out >>>

like J.F. (Jim) Straw, Pete Egeler, Mike Filsaime and many
others as you follow and use the strategies discussed here >>>

QUICK TIP
---------

Let's face it. The field of internet marketing is pretty damn
packed with folks trying flog stuff to one another.

So, unless you have an outstanding story to tell and product
to sell, how about using your knowledge to promote products
in much less competitive fields.

Around half of my 'How To' products are unrelated to internet
marketing and they're also the ones which, long-term, make me
the most money.

Check out how I've used all the techniques that you'll be
familiar with in my latest Instant Movie Making toolkit at
http://www.instant-movie-making.com and think about how you
could do the same thing yourself!
