Can
you
create
my
ecommerce
site
for
me?
I
already
have
a
website
and
products
or
services.
How
can
I
learn
how
to
better market
my
site?
Do
I
need
my
own
domain name
or
can
I
use
a
free
domain
hosting
service
for
best
results?
I
would
like
to
add
the
current
day's date on
some
of
my
web
site's
pages but
I
don't
want
to
do
daily
updates
to
the
source
code
to
keep
the
date
current.
Is
there
any
way
to
do
this
so
the
date
changes
automatically?
How
can
I
add
audio
messages
to
my
pages
without
spending
a
fortune
on
microphones,
mixers,
mp3
recorders
and
other
miscellaneous
software
and
equipment?
I
don't
feel
like
I
know
enough
to
create
my
own
website
yet.
I
would
like
to pick
the
brains
of
successful
online
marketers
to
see
how
they
got
into
the
business
and
how
they
made
it
work
for
them?
Any
suggestions
aside
from
paying
thousands
of
dollars
in
consulting
fees?
How can I cloak my affiliate links so potential buyers don't bypass my link and deprive me of my referral commission?
1. Why are you offering this online marketing information?
When
I
began
learning
about
the
ins
and
outs
of
online
marketing
it
became
clear
to
me
that
much
of
the
information
on
"internet
marketing" products
were
either
from
the
businesses
that
created
the
products
or
from
their
affiliates.
Needless
to
say...
That
information,
in
most
cases, was
geared
toward
making
a
sale
and
not
in
giving
the
unvarnished
truth
about
the
the
products's
weaknesses,
faults,
limitations
and
peculiarities.
From
my
point
of
view...
Before
plunking
down
$97
, $149,
or
more,
I
really
wanted
unbiased
information
about
those
products.
After
looking
long
and
hard
it
became
clear
that
there
was
little
information
about
the
pros
and
cons
of
many
of
the
online
marketing
materials
currently
available
on
the
internet.
So,
I
checked
around
and
discovered
that
there
was
a
boat-load
of
people
who
wanted
and
craved
honest
and
unbiased
information
about
"online
marketing"
materials.
I
decided
to
critically
evaluate
the
products
that
I
purchased
and
share
the
good
and
the
bad
with
others
so
they
would
be
in
a
better
position
to
decide
if
the
software
or
instructional
material
would
really
fill
their
needs.
Face
it...
It's
important
to
know
ahead
of
time
what
the
strengths
and
weaknesses
are,
of
a
software
package
or
course,
before
committing
to
a
purchase.
The
purpose
of
this
web
site
is
to
provide
the
type
of
information
that
consumers
of
"online
marketing"
products
want
so
they
can
approach
a
potentially
expensive
purchase
with
their
eyes
wide
opened
and
their
minds
well-informed.
All
of
this
is
designed
to
help
you
become
successful
in
your
online
marketing
efforts
and
help
you avoid
costly
mistakes.
2. How
do
I
know
the
information
you're
providing
will
work?
I
only
write
about
products
that
I've
tried
and
tested.
And
I
let
you
know,
as
though
I
were
talking
to
a
friend
or
family
member,
what
I
think
are
its strengths
and
weaknesses.
I
occassionally
suggest
modifications
that
would
make
the
products
perform
better.
Of
course,
your
experiences,
skills, knowledge
and
needs
will
likely differ
from
mine
so
what
I
may
view
as
a
shortcoming
in
a
piece
of
software
may
not
affect
you
if
you
know
how
to
work
around
it.
For
others,
the
same
information
could
give
them
the
green
light
in
making
a
purchase
or
a
red
light
against.
In
the
end,
I
believe
having
too
much
useful
information
is
better
than
not
being
able
to
find
enough.
3. How
long
have
you
been
involved
in
web
marketing?
I've
been
actively
engaged
in web
marketing
since
1997.
4. With
what types
of
online
marketing
are
you
familiar?
I
specialize
in
using
direct
response
marketing
techniques
and
gear
them
toward
online
selling.
If
you
want
to
know
how
to
make
multi-level
marketing
work
you've
come
to
the
wrong
place.
But,
if
you
want
to
know
how
to
sell
via
direct
response
marketing
using
your
computer
this
site
is
for
you.
If
you
want
to
listen
to
a
cassette
audio
interview
between
two
successful
internet
marketers
I
suggest
you
check
out
the
amazing
story
of
"Mr.
H."
In
the
taped
interview
you
will
learn
how
"Mr.
H."
used
direct
marketeing
techniques
to
create
a
web
site
that
attracts
hundreds
of
visitors
a
day
and
makes
thousands
of
dollars
worth
of
business
each
week.

5. How
can
you
afford
to
give
away
free
information
and
how
are
you
supporting
this
website?
Good
questions.
First;
over
the
years
I've
gotten
into
the
habit
of
documenting
my
projects
from
start
to
end.
This
approach
has
been
used
in
my
scientific
career
(an
area
of
study
where
research
steps
and
procedures
need
to
be
accurately
and
carefully
recorded),
in
my
home
renovations
(a
totally
different
subject
than
web
marketing), and
in
my
online
marketing
efforts.
Sharing
the
online
marketing
information
that
I've
collected
simply
involves
putting
the
results
up
on
this
website.
That
happens
pretty
fast
with
my
webeditor
and
FTP
utility.
Once
the
information
has
been
posted
to
this
web
site
I
don't
have
to
come
back
and
deal
with
the
information
anymore
but
it's
available
to
all
that
can
benefit
from
it.
As
far
as
the
second
part
of
the
question,
you
should
know
that
many
of
the
links
that
go
outside
of
this
site
are
affiliate
links.
What
that
means
is...
If
someone
decides
to
purchase
an
item
from
this
site
a
commission
is
earned
by
the
site
much
in
the
same
way
a
travel
agent
gets
paid
when
a
client
purchases
cruise
or
airline
tickets.
It
doesn't
cost
the
customer
any
more
to
purchase
through
the
travel
agent
because
the
carrier
pays
the
agent
for
sending
a
paying
customer
their
way.
In
summary
it's
from
affiliate commissions
that
this
site
is
supported.
6. How
can
this
site
help
me
make
money?
The
tools
and
instructional
materials
that
are
reviewed
on
this
site
are
of
products
that
perform
at
least
as
well
as
their
promoters
promise.
Also...
Many
of
the
software
products,
that
you'll
find
described
on
this
site,
are used
by
a
number
of
successful
online
marketers
to
build
and
maintain
their
own
sites.
Audiogenerator,
for
example,
is
used
by
such
online
marketing
giants
as
Alex
Mandossian
and
Stephen
Pierce.
You'll
also
discover
which
autoresponders
are
preferred
by
online
marketers:
- Yanik
Silver
- Corey
Rudl
- Marlon
Sanders
- Alex
Mandossian
- Jim
Daniels
- Gary
Halbert
- and
others.
You'll
learn
about
the
following
tools:
...
along
with
much
more!
There's
a
lot
of
useful
information
on
this
site
and
there's
no
need
to
try
to
digest
everything
in
one
sitting.
You
can
bookmark
the
homepage
by
clicking
here
or
on
the
appropriate
link
on
any
of
the
pages
that
interests
you
(you'll
find
a
convenient
"bookmark
this
page"
link
at
the
bottom
of
each
page).
7. I'm
on
a
super
tight
budget.
How
can
I
start
an
online
business
on
the
cheap?
If
you
don't
have
much
in
the
way
of
spare
cash
but
you
can
manage
to
find
the
time
I
suggest
you
use
the
"sweat-equity"
approach.
Sweat-equity?
There
are
people
who
want
to
own
real
estate
but
many
of
them too
are
on
tight
budgets.
Some
wait
until
they
can
save
enough
money
to
purchase
their
property
while
others
buy
the
raw
materials
and
tools
and
create
something
of
value
with
the
sweat
of
their
own
labor.
What,
you
may
ask,
does
this
have
to
do
with
online
marketing?
Plenty...
