BOOK
PREVIEW
Introduction
Those of us who spend our spare time on the Internet are exposed to
unrelenting sales pitches for everything from clothes to books to
health supplements to stock trades. Rather than the information,
education, and entertainment we initially sought, we find we have
entered an apparently unlimited yellow pages with colored, flashing ads
exhorting us to pull out our credit cards and "Click Here."
Nowhere is this more rampant than in the field of Internet marketing
itself. At the bleary-eyed end of a day on the computer, it sometimes
seems as if everyone alive is trying to make a living online. If you
still have doubts about the extent of the issue, get yourself a
throwaway email address on Yahoo! Then join a couple of safe list
mailers. Your bulk folder will soon be stuffed with hundreds of
e-mails, all trying to sell something and all guaranteeing that their
product will solve your problems, make you rich, and grant you the good
life you have always wanted.
Who are all these people? They are your neighbor down the street, your
uncle Jim, your daughter's fifth grade teacher, the store clerk who
sold you a new suit, and the pleasant lady who delivers your mail. They
are you and me and everyone we know. They are from all walks of life
and all corners of the globe.
The Internet is truly democratic, catering to children playing with
their parents' computer, to the poor reaching out through flickering
dial-up or hunched over public computers, to adolescents blogging their
inner turmoil, to business moguls amassing greater wealth through their
imposing websites, to porn kings spreading their message of filth, and
to terrorists communicating their deadly plots.
In this mishmash of dreamers and schemers, how do we all fit in?
Surrounded by purveyors of everything that exists, we are the buyers
and the targets. We are the innocent victims of the unstoppable letters
from Nigerian widows and their British barristers. We are the suckers
who receive yet another notification of our enormous winnings in some
non-existent lottery drawing. Our little in-boxes provide a conduit to
the world and stuff -- good, helpful, ugly, or sick -- comes pouring in.
There must, literally, be a hundred thousand e-books in the vastness of
cyberspace, training people how to market products, their own or
somebody else's. A substantial fortune could be blown in only a few
days by acquiring books, reports, videos, and software all promising a
fast and effortless journey to easy street.
I'm not going to teach you to sell, or market, or promote yourself. As
noted above, there are millions of resources on that already out there.
So what will this book tell you? It will tell the slick sales reps and
the marketing mavens and the irrepressible admen what the rest of us
are looking for, what we want, what we like, and what we are going to
demand.
Listen up, gurus. We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it
anymore!
We will never sell,
rent, or give away your
personal information.
Your privacy is safe
with us!
Thanks and Enjoy!
