- Marlon Sanders – he basis his entire business on an “evergreen” approach – write once, earn over and over – he’s totally down to earth, no hype and just really, really good at what he does. Click on his name to get access to his FREE info!
Tip: visit some of the product links below. Without purchasing a single thing you can learn volumes about how to write sales letters! he’s a master at copywriting…you’ll be drawn in!
Here are just a few of the products that he offers – I have used many of them and never once have I been disappointed!
It’s well worth adding yourself to his newsletter as well for FREE information. The Best Of Marlon Sanders

I have enjoyed his newsletter for more than a year and he always provides quick, simple and great copywriting tips.
Here are a couple of his programs:
- The Internet Marketing Retirement Plan – Do you feel chained to your desk – at a job you don’t like – by the reality of having to earn money?
But now, Bob Bly has discovered a safe, sure-fire way for you to completely retire – within 18 to 24 months from today – even if you haven’t saved a dime for retirement.

Step #10 – Start Your Internet Marketing
Free Marketing Resources:

Video Marketing:
- YouTube
- CamStudio – free software for screen capture – great way to develop videos (especially if you are camera shy)
Press Release Marketing:
- Free Press Release.com

Additional Useful Resources to Help You When Starting An Internet Business
I know from experience that when I first started my internet business it didn’t take me long to become overwhelmed and broke and…that it happens to many!
If you can find an online mentor or online mentoring team…I would high recommend that you work with one. It can make all the difference in your pocket book, learning curve and your ability to persevere to success!
There are many, many wonderful mentors available to you and some of the top turnkey internet businesses offer mentoring as part of their program (it’s one of the primary reasons that I recommend YourNetBiz for internet newcomers!)
However…I also realize that mentors and turnkey programs can be quite expensive and you may not have the funds to have that benefit at the beginning of your journey.
So…Here’s what I recommend as a very close second…a solid membership site.
Membership sites are organizations that provide, tools, resources and training to their members for a monthly fee. There are many wonderful membership sites available for internet marketing beginners but…there are also those that I have found were not worth the investment!
Following are two membership sites that are in my opinion outstanding…especially for the internet newcomer! They are both packed full of amazing tools and training and lead by amazing internet marketers dedicated to “paying it forward”!
To me…the philosophy of paying it forward, giving back to others unconditionally…is not only the key to online success but, a required characteristic for a business partner of mine! And that is why I am a member of both of these sites!
So…should you be so inclined to want to find some further education…check out these two wonderful programs:
I. The Make Real Money On The Internet site (MRMI) – Click on the link to learn more and…if you like try the site for 30-days for only $1!!
Stephen Pierce is an inspirational speaker, and has a very motivational style. Without the help of his site…I certainly wouldn’t be this far along in my internet business success!
If you’d like to learn more about his proven system…order his FREE book below (yes…you will have to pay shipping and handling…it is an actual paperback book…but, well worth the few dollars to get your hands on it!)
Click the Image of the Book to Get Your FREE copy NOW! (It changed my life and I’ll bet it can do the same for you)
II. The IM Advantage – I purchased a program from this group a little over a year ago and it changed my life. I learned how to take my online knowledge offline to help small businesses and…got my first two clients within weeks.
To this day…I am helping offline businesses build their online presence and I owe that income source to Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey the founders of this group and their SEM Blueprint.
Most of the programs they offer are “blueprint” in nature and excellent quality…they have a fantastic reputation in the community and their training is so remarkably easy to follow that you can’t help but enjoy the programs even if you are a complete newcomer!
Recently they put together a membership site and I jumped at the chance to join! They offer a complete line of training courses and tools to help grow your business.
In addition, they have a fantastic community of supportive people available in their forum who are remarkably helpful in helping others to grow their business.
I would encourage you to check out the IM Advantage membership site! Click Here…or on the image below.
PROTECT YOUR DOWNLOADS – Also, if you choose to create products and sell them for download on your site…you will need a good way to protect your files. The best software I can recommend is DL Guard, from page and content protection to full membership sites. Click Here! Easy to use and compatible with many, many website building programs, it’s a great way to ensure that your customers receive their products and that the “pirates” are kept at bay.
As always, I wish you all the best in your journey to online success!
