The anticipation of waiting 10 more days is KILLING ME!

After I sent you my newsletter last week, I was inundated with emails, calls, and blog posts.

Here is a sample of the comments I received...

"I am sick of my fears and I want 2008 to be an overcoming year for me and my family" - Sharon


"This is my year and I am ready to get 'er done" - Jim


"I have made a commitment to make 2008 the year that I get online and start making money so I can quit my present job and be my own boss" - Bob


"I have been trying hard for months but with no results, I'm ready to achieve big things for 2008" - Alan


"I'm your number one British fan, and I cannot wait to see what you have to offer on the 24th" - Ken


"I cannot wait until Jan 24th, 2008, I want this to be the year for all people trying to make it on the internet to achieve their goals" - Marie

... Do you see a theme in these comments?

Sounds like there are more than just a few people who are ready to use our complete turn-key solution -- which is designed to help 250 people at any skill level start a profitable Internet business in 30-60 days!

After seeing all of these comments, the anticipation is killing me!

So to satisfy my impatience -- and, possibly, your curiosity -- I have put a quick video together to give you a sneak peek of what I'm going to reveal January 24th at 10:00 a.m.

Go to...

marketingtips.com/success2008/

... it will only take two minutes of your time, and could change the way you do business in 2008!

Editorial: My New Years Resolution... and how it will help 250 people make 2008 a massive success!

I am going to keep my editorial brief today because for the next two weeks, until January 24th at 10am, my team and I are going to be working around the clock, building something that is going to make 2008 a massive success for 250 lucky individuals!

I figure there is no better way to start the New Year, than by rolling out one of the most powerful business-building systems the Internet community has ever seen.

Now, I am not going to tell you much today because I do not want to ruin the surprise. But I will tell you what it is not:

1. It is NOT another overpriced Internet Marketing course with 100 DVDs that would take all of 2008 just to watch!

2. It is NOT another piece of software that promises to revolutionize business as you know it but crashes your computer every time you open it!

3. It is NOT another overpriced seminar, where you get to see a parade of speakers pitching the next "Big Thing".

4. It is NOT for Internet Marketing experts that are already making millions online!

5. It will NOT cost you thousands of dollars to start... In fact, when my competitors have seen what I have created and the massively discounted price I am giving it away for, they are not going to be too happy with me... :-)

What the heck is it then?

Think...

"A complete turn-key solution designed to help 250 people at any skill
level start one of the most profitable Internet businesses in record time!"

Internet Markting Center - Happy Holidays to All

Happy Holidays from Internet Markting Center

December 23, 2007

We are just a few days away from Christmas, and my team and I are starting to wind down for the holidays.

In fact, as I write this editorial I’m on a flight to Texas to attend the Christmas Party for my office in Austin. (The one benefit of having an office in Vancouver and Austin… I get to have two Christmas parties! )

Once I am done with that party, I am going to fly straight back to Vancouver, tie up some loose ends and then dedicate my time to my family over the holidays.

And that brings me to the thought I want to share with you today…


As entrepreneurs, we work hard all year long. It’s easy to bury ourselves in our work and lose sight of why we’re working so hard, right?

I mean, we choose to be entrepreneurs so that we have flexibility in our schedules, the ability to take time off when we want, and the financial means to do what we want when we want.

And yet why do so many of us lose sight of this, and morph into workaholics who are constantly trading the precious little time we have with our family and friends for long hours in front of our computers?

I know success doesn’t come easy… and if you are starting and growing a business, it can be a lot more than a 9-5 job.

But life is preciously short and there are very few times a year where we are given the opportunity to spend time with our loved ones — so when you are given an opportunity like this one, you should seize it.

I know I’m going to!


Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Derek

Tactics to Maximize Holiday Sales!

We are now in the heat of holiday shopping and NOW is the perfect opportunity to apply some last-minute holiday marketing tactics to capitalize on the buying frenzy!

Don't procrastinate because time is running out...

As an online business, you only have a few weeks left before sales will drop off and the last minute shoppers turn to traditional retail stores in order to avoid expensive last-minute shipping!

So without further ado, here are 4 tactics you can apply TODAY!

Tactic #1: Add Some Holiday Flair To Your Salecopy!

Make sure your salescopy tells your customers which of your products would make good gifts for which of their family members...


This would make a great gift for mom!
This would make a great gift for the entrepreneur in your family!
This would make a great gift for video game fan!
This would make a good gift for [insert recommendation here]!


... You get the point.

Never assume your customers "get it" because they probably don't... you need to tell them who your product(s) apply to and why they should buy it for them as a gift.

Tactic #2: "Top 10 Gift Ideas" List

If you're a business with numerous products, then one of my favorite tactics is putting a "Top 10 Gift Ideas" list on your site.

If someone is surfing the Internet for gift ideas, your list will grab their attention -- and you can then direct them toward the products that generate the highest profits for you!

And don't forget to modify the salescopy of the products you recommend to play up the "gift idea" angle! Just like with Tactic #1, you need to tell them who wants your product and why it would make a great gift.

Tactic #3: Capitalize On "Seasonal Keywords" in the Pay-Per-Click Search Engines

At this time of year "Gift"-related keywords will see a substantial increase in search volume as shoppers are looking to buy presents for their loved ones! For example:

Hobby Related Key Phrases:

Golf gift idea
Fishing gift idea
Video game gift


Individual Specific Key Phrases:

Christmas gift for Fisherman
Christmas gift for Plumber
Christmas gift for Student


Warning: Stay away from more general keywords and phrases like "Christmas Gift" or "Christmas Gift for Dad." They will not drive you the targeted traffic you need.

And remember, to get the highest possible conversion, the salescopy on your website needs to continue the theme of the keyword.

So if someone comes to your website after searching the keyword "Christmas Gift for Student," you need to continue that theme and create a landing page that explains why your product will make a good gift for a student.

Tactic #4: The Countdown Clock!

This one's my favorite...

Make sure you add a countdown timer to your website that's counting down to the last minute your customers can order a product from your website and still get guaranteed delivery by Christmas!

Even if you have two weeks left on your countdown clock, the psychology of a clock counting down in front of someone will increase their urgency to order NOW!

The easiest way to add a countdown clock to your website is with one of the many free javascripts available on a site like javacript.internet.com. Go to this site and search for Countdown Timer and you will be presented with numerous options.

So there they are -- four strategies you can apply to profit from the holiday buying frenzy. But remember, that countdown clock is ticking for YOU, too... so you need to take action NOW!

And speaking of countdowns...

You only have a few more days to buy one of my slightly (and I mean slightly) damaged "Insider Secrets" courses for only $97 instead of the regular $197 -- and still get guaranteed delivery by Christmas!

So if you were thinking about "playing Santa" and buying a course for more than 50% off the regular price for the budding entrepreneur in your family (even if that entrepreneur is YOU ;-), then you had better act fast!

P.S. I must warn you... Derek has to limit this offer to the first
250 people who respond. If he takes on too many new members,
his team of experts will end up spreading themselves too thin
-- and that wouldn't be fair to his existing members.
