1. Editors Note.
------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome again to all our new and "old" subscribers.

It's been a busy month over here. I have released two FREE
Ebooks -and you still wonder how I make a living on line? :-)

The first Ebook is called "Ebook Authors Interviewed" (more
about this one below this issue), and the other one is: "How
To Make Profit From An Affiliate Program".

"How To Make Profit From An Affiliate Program" contains
secrets and hints about using Affiliate Programs to make
profit on the Net with any business, but it's mainly focused
on selling Information Products like Ebooks.

The book is in .pdf format, so it's suitable for both Windows
and Mac users, and I'm offering the book to the people who
sign up for my NEW "Internet Marketing Success Tips Course".

Get your FREE copy from here:
http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/successtips.htm

(You can always unsubscribe once you have signed up
for the e-course, but I recommend you to stay on this one
until the very end, because the e-course comes with
brand NEW Marketing Tips and FREE Downloads that
will help to fuel your own business!)

Note: Even if you decide not to download the book, give it
a look, because I have created the book cover myself :-)

I used the newly released eCover Generator Software to
create the "stunning" cover.

As far as now, creating an Ebook Cover Graphic was
something that most of us didn't have the knowledge
or talent to... and so we had to pay as much as $100
just for ONE Ebook Cover...

... I said, until now! :-)

Armand Morin, well known from his Ebook Generator
software, has created the eCover Generator software,
to help us all out... and save lots of money...

You can now make your own custom, highly professional
Ebook Covers (just like mine :-) easily in MINUTES.

eCover Generator is NOT just a piece of software that
offers a couple of worn out templates! The program
actually makes 3 sided boxes, 2 sided boxes or Ebook
covers! It is the ONLY software on or off the Internet
that can do this!

Click here to find out more about the new software:
http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/ecover.htm

And what's really interesting is that this new software
also offers an interesting 2-tier affiliate program.

Why not sign up as an affiliate NOW, and get the eCover
Generator software at HALF PRICE!?

Armand has created a KILLER AFFILIATE PROGRAM that
has an incredible motivator attached to it.

You owe it to yourself to at least look into this opportunity
right away before EVERYONE is talking about it.

2. Smart Promotion Tip
------------------------------------------------------------

Popular Domains

Now, here's a valuable tool that helps you find expired
and on-hold domains, and checks their link popularity
with three (currently AltaVista, HotBot and InfoSeek) of
the largest search engines.

Every week thousands of domains expire or are put
on-hold. Many of these domains were attached to
popular websites with hundreds, if not thousands,
of links from other sites.

These domains still have good positions in the top
search engines because of their high link popularity.

Why were these domains abandoned? Perhaps the
author lost interested, couldn't afford the fees or
simply forgot to renew the domain. With Popular
Domains you have the chance to reclaim some of
this wasted traffic and actually make money from it.

"Ebook Authors Interviewed"

by Yours Truly :-)

This FREE Ebook was released last month. It contains
over 40 interviews with some of the best Ebook Authors
and Publishers on the Internet.

If you're writing or promoting Ebooks you'll find tons of
success tips from people like Yanik Silver, Jimmy D.
Brown, Boogie Jack, Joe Vitale, and Neil Shearing!

However, the book is much more than a collection of
interviews.

It also contains 2 brandible Ebooks, access to one of
the best Internet Marketing Courses on line, and links
to a few excellent Ebook Money Making programs and
services...

... and did I mention it's FREE? :-)

Yes, "Ebook Authors Interviewed" is FREE to download,
and you can give it away from your web site or Ezine as
a FREE bonus with your own products...

4. Guest Article
------------------------------------------------------------

Instead of an article, I am publishing an interview that
I recently had with Marlon Sanders.

You may have heard about Marlon. He's the brilliant guy
who wrote "The Amazing Formula That Sells Products
Like Crazy". Marlon has been my mentor and on line
guide since the very beginning of my E-business.

Let me tell you one of the most important things I have
learned from Marlon...

"Products don't make you money!"

It's true; products prevent refunds and increase repeat
purchases from your customers, but selling on the Net
is about traffic.

Yes, it's all about getting traffic streams and then giving
that traffic stream products it wants to buy.

Everything else is empty talk.

You can see what Marlon's means by visiting his web site:
http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/amazingformula.htm

Anyway, I had the honor to interview Marlon, regarding
the affiliate program he put up for "The Amazing Formula"
and below is a copy of the interview.

I'm sure you'll learn something from it!

Q: "Marlon, what is the main purpose of The Amazing
Formula?"

A: "It's a slam dunk education in marketing. It's a real eye
opener for many people. If you read through our over 100
pages of testimonials (we're adding more all the time),
you'll see what people say. It has taken many people from
not having a clue about marketing to being totally wired.
I teach all about lead generation, front end, back end, upsells,
associate programs, traffic, conversion percentages. So many
things. And honestly, even with the proliferation of Internet
marketing products, I can still say it's the only course that
covers many of these topics. Every single bullet in the sales
letter is covered in the product. How many products can you
say that about? I know they are covered because I have a
chapter that covers every single bullet in the sales letter,
bullet-by-bullet. When someone writes and says I didn't
cover something, I know they haven't read the product!"

Q: "What is the main benefit of The Amazing Formula?"

A: "Now, The Amazing Formula applies to all types of products
and services. It gets you up to speed on marketing in a flash.
So many of things in it are things I learned through the school
of hard knocks. Others are things I learned from clients. It shows
you how to generate leads, get people to your web site, make
sales, get repeat business."

Q: "Are people guaranteed to make money?"

A: No. All business involves risk of gain and loss. If you
can't handle the potential for loss, don't play the game.
I do everything in my power to put the odds in your favor.
And I tell you what works for me personally. This is all
based on my own personal experience. That is what
separates it from a lot of products. A lot of people write
things that sound good in theory. Some of them don't
even write their own products! You may not make a
dime. And you may get rich. Chances are, you'll fall
somewhere between those two extremes. That's as
honest as I can be."

Q: "What separates the Formula from the other how to
products on the market?"

A: "I'm friends with many if not most of the other online
marketers who train people. So I would never criticize their
products. In fact, many of them are very good. I endorse
some of them. However, The Amazing Formula has
endured the test of time. Other products come and go.
Some become quickly outdated. But The Amazing Formula
is timeless and applies to both online and offline marketing,
although the emphasis is concerning online marketing. You
have no idea how many emails I receive from people thanking
me for the product, telling me how it changed their life and
so forth. None of those testimonials are made up. Every
single one is real. And I get new ones in the email every day.
One thing that differentiates The Formula is its global and
macro perspective. It approaches your business model as
a whole from beginning to end. See, if your overall strategy
doesn't work, you're screwed. That's what the product really
gives you. It really isn't a tactics product. I cover tactics in my
other products like How to Automate Your Web Business."

Q: "Does The Amazing Formula apply to ALL business?"

A: "I get this question everyday. I don't care if you're in MLM
or you sell doggie food. It applies to all businesses because
it's about the essence of business: Getting leads and
prospects, making sales and obtaining the repeat business.
It handles those topics with a level of sophistication and
insight you won't find elsewhere. As long as your business
has to generate leads or prospective customers, make
sales and gain repeat business, the formula applies to you."

Q: "I noticed you say you sell other products. Why isn't
everything in The Amazing Formula?"

A: "When you go to school, why isn't everything in one course?
It's the same answer. The Amazing Formula is my intro product.
Everything else builds on it like Gimme My Money Now, How
to Create Your Own Products In a Flash, How to Craft Drop
Dead, Killer Ad Copy and so forth."

Q: "Do you provide free consulting if I buy your product?"

A: "No, my consulting fee is $1,000 per hour."

Q: "How much do people make on the reseller program?"

A: "The cool thing about the product is you can sell it for 60%
profit. You can do that even if you don't buy it. Send an email
to resellscoop@getresponse.com for details. Anyway, you not
only make 60% on The Amazing Formula, you make 50% on
our upsells, downsells, other products, 404 errors and other
things. We do the follow up for you. We have the most extensive
reseller tools in the business. "

That's it.

7. Q & A (Readers help readers.)
------------------------------------------------------------

Q: "Hi Dirk, I sell an Ebook via Clickbank, and I would like
to know how I can protect my "Thank You" page from being
accessed by freebie-scammers. Thanks for your informative
Ezine!" Simon, from France.

A: "Dear Simon, Kenneth Yang has written an Ebook, that is
different from other "How To Use Clickbank" books in ONE
unique way: it teaches ClickBank (and PayPal) users how
to protect their "thank-you" pages using a simple PHP
redirect script that they can type up in Notepad and upload
in less than a minute :-) And the great thing is that this
script is FREE to use. No need to pay nearly $40 bucks for
some other script that purportedly does the same thing
-albeit in a slightly different manner.
