Hi all! Welcome to the first ever issue of Marketing For REAL People. That's right, this newsletter is brand new. Let me first welcome my brand new subscribers from Rod Hammer's "We Love Our Readers" promotions. For those of you who don't know, Rod, myself, and a few other marketers (Ewen Chia, Patric Chan, Mike Steup, and Pat O'Bryan) want all of our readers to know how much we love them. Yes, we love when you buy something we've promoted, but let me tell you a few things that we really love about you! When we can give you some bit of information that helps you be successful. When YOU take something from us and use it to grow your business. When we can contact you when we need help with something and you are always there to help us. All of us are REAL people. We aren't big gurus telling you to do this or that. All we want to do is share our knowledge and help you succeed. Come on over to http://snipurl.com/valentinethanks As I said, this is the very first issue of Marketing For REAL People. Some of you may know me and some of you may not. For those of you who don't, here is the short story: I started my own direct mail marketing business in 1998. I was in nursing school at the time. I soon found out I was NOT cut out to be a nurse. I feel too much for people, and couldn't leave my work at work. I'm sure some of you can relate to that. So at the big age of 19, I decided I WAS going to be my own boss, and I WAS going to have my own business. I got involved in several MLM programs and started promoting them. I did VERY well with them, but promoting someone else's programs was too much like working for someone else to me. So, I decided for all of those people promoting, I would #1 Teach them my methods of promotion and #2 offer them unique advertising services. Eight years later I'm still doing the same thing, and loving it. So, if I am a direct mail marketer, what am I doing online? Good question. I got online to teach those online marketers who are totally fed up with hype and BS that there are more ways than the "Guru" way to promote your program, product, or service. If you want to learn how to really market whatever you are promoting, and make a living (Notice I did not say you're going to make $362,592 in the next 6 minutes.) doing it, then you have found the right newsletter. 2005 is YOUR year. I am here to help YOU make it YOUR year! At the end of each and every issue I ever send you, is going to be a "suggestion box". Use this box whenever you want. If you want to request that I teach you to do something, provide something, find something for you, tell me what I'm doing sucks, or whatever it may be, just suggest it and send it over to me. I'll do my best to help you. With that said, I'm going to ask you a favor. I'm going to make this a short newsletter this week. The reason why I am doing this is because before I send you ANYTHING I want to know EXACTLY what YOU want. Place your suggestion in the suggestion box below, and I'll try to accommodate all of them! I'd also like to hear from you all! Tell me about your business. What are your goals? What are you promoting? I want to know about YOU! In a few days, I'll be contacting you again. (No, you're not going to get a bunch of emails from me every week. I only publish this newsletter twice a month, and send out an occasional update.) I have TWO brand new products that are about to be released and since you are one of my readers, you get them for... FREE! I'll send you a short message as soon as they are ready to go, so stay tuned... Until next time, drop your suggestions in the suggestion box, and I look forward to hearing from all of you!
