Internet Marketing Fortune Cookie #11
The Truth About Internet Marketing
It’s Wednesday (well, in China anyway), and you know what that means. It’s time for another weekly Internet Business Fortune Cookie.
This week has been crazy busy (Christmas is tomorrow in case you missed the memo). With three kids and lots of extended family, I have been happily toiling away at holiday tasks.
So, in a shocking twist of events, I have had no Chinese food for more than a week. Lucky for you, I have a stash of old fortune cookie fortunes in a wooden box on my desk. Seriously, I save them. I pulled this one out at random. Hear the cookie speak:
“Honesty Is The Best Policy.“
Clearly the cookie speaks about the brand new internet marketing blog by Michelle Adams (www.michelle-adams.com). I ran across Michelle’s blog today when I was checking out the action at CoachingWithJosh.com (I am a moderator there).
Michelle is a “student” there. I say “student” in quotes because she has over 500 posts and helps a lot more people there than I do in my role as an absentee moderator.
Welcome To Michelle-Adams.com – Pay Attention
Anyway, Michelle-Adams.com is a brand-spanking new internet marketing blog with a grand total of 2 posts. The shrink-wrap is not even off of the WordPress box yet, and the site still has that “new-blog smell” just like a shiny new BMW.
Before you scoff and wonder why I am talking about a newbie blog with 2 posts, note that Michelle is paying attention — her autoresponder is already up, and she has a killer USP (unique selling proposition) that made me opt-in. Here is what she has to say:
How I Saved $2,000 Overnight
If you want to find out how being treated like dirt saved me $2,000 then just pop in your email below and I’ll send you the report. Included in this report is a no BS way of making money online that has no fluff, almost no cost except time and a domain name and is a proven method. You can’t lose. Enjoy!
That is one of the more creative opt-ins I have ever seen (and I have seen many). In fact, I was starting to think I had seen all of them.
Raw Truth In A PDF
When you opt in to her list, you get access to a PDF report. I am not going to spoil it for you. Let’s just say she puts herself out there and tells it like it is. It’s fresh, and raw and valuable. Everyone just starting in Internet Marketing should read this report. I thought it was great.
Best thing, I could not find one affiliate link in the whole report. She does point to an excellent free resource in her report (one that I strongly endorse on the blog in other places).
Obey The Cookie – Be Honest In Your Marketing.
Go check out Michelle’s report. You’ll be glad you did.
As the cookie says, Honesty is the best policy.
Have a great day.
