Introducing the Web’s most powerful source of FREE Internet marketing information

I haven’t been so excited about something in a REALLY long time…

(And I’m a pretty excitable guy )

For years, I’ve wanted to provide people with a "one-stop" free online resource center that offers the strategies, tutorials, and tools they need to build their own successful Internet business.

But… because our company — The Internet Marketing Center — has grown so FAST over the past couple years, all our resources have been committed to dealing with that rapid growth, while making sure we still provide top-notch service to our customers and subscribers.

And so we haven’t been able to achieve nearly as many of the items on our "wish list" as we’ve wanted to.

Well, today is the day I get to cross a seriously HUGE item off that wish list!

… Because thanks to the after-hours efforts of my crackerjack team of content developers and web designers, I am enormously proud to introduce IMC’s brand-new Internet marketing blog. It’s absolutely STUFFED with free information you can use to make your business more powerful — and more profitable!

Here you’ll find an entire multimedia library full of tested, results-driven strategies to help you build your business. You’ll discover the latest proven SEO techniques that will flood your site with eager buyers. You’ll learn basic and advanced marketing tips from the video tutorials we’ll be posting here.

And you’ll be able to stay on top of the latest news from the Internet marketing world — so you’ll know what the big "movers and shakers" like Google, Yahoo, and eBay are doing, and how it’s going to affect your business.

… And THAT is just scratching the surface.

So what you need to do right now — in order to ensure you never miss a single strategy or hot tip — is click the button in the upper right corner of your screen that says, "subscribe."

That way, you can add an instant live feed to this site into your Firefox or Internet Explorer 7 browser, or to your personalized Google, Yahoo, and MSN pages. So whenever we post hot new strategies or late-breaking news to this site, you’ll be the first to know.

Word of mouth remains a powerful tool for your business

It’s been proven time and time again — one of your most powerful weapons as a marketer is your customers! A recent eMarketer article covered a study by BIGresearch called the "Simultaneous Media Study" which deals with the power of "word of mouth" marketing.

The study found that a whopping 94.1% of respondents give advice to others about products or services they use — and of that number, 28.7% regularly offer this kind of consumer advice. On top of that, the study found that 91% of consumers seek product advice from others — and16.2% of them do it regularly.

In other words, the more good things your customers have to say about you to their friends and family, the better!

So make sure you encourage your customers to spread the word about your products. Consider putting a "tell a friend" button on your website, or offering a free gift or discount to anyone who sends a new customer your way. And, of course, the ultimate way to get your customers promoting your products for you is to start your own affiliate program!

Your customers could end up being your greatest salespeople — so do what you can to help them do their "job"!
