INTRODUCTION
By David Zohar
Hi,
Welcome and thank you for investing in Mailing List Gold. In this guide, I will show you how you can:
• Create your own successful E-zine (or newsletter) where your subscribers are interested in what you have to say, and they have every darn good reason to listen to you.
With so many E-zines out there, you have to have an edge of your own. Forget the “standing out of the crowd” mentality. Because not only it is nearly impossible, I think that getting people to listen to what you have to say is more important, having looked that each of us can easily subscribe to any E-zine of our choice at the click of the button for free.
In this guide, I show you how you can have your own “fan club” or “cult” and they are definitely better than having just any sort of mailing list, because you would have people take your words rather than from someone else, even though the messages may be similar.
• Make your money from several ways possible with your mailing list!
I describe to you several ways on how you can make your money from your E-zine (your E-zine IS your mailing list). No, there are more ways of making your money other than just sending out regular endorsements to another product or service, though that is one good way of making your profits in a short period of time, and I mean literally hours from the moment you send out an endorsement letter.
• Get targeted subscribers into your mailing list by the truckloads!
How you can get subscribers whether you have a lot of money or not using ingenious concepts, some of them which you might have not even thought of!
You will also discover how you can find out your subscriber needs and if the subscribers are really your prospects in the first place without having to pay for a survey!
• Get repeat customers.
You cannot get far with just one sale from one person. I also show you how you can get more sales from the same group of customers just by making them feel special about your next offer!
• Create a system that does most of the chores for you!
I do not need to have a crystal ball to tell that one of the main reasons you want to start an Internet Business is that you want to have more time and more money. In this guide, I reveal the entire blueprint to a simple but powerful system that can be responsible for making sales for you while sparing you the time to do most of the unnecessary tasks!

Chapter 1 - Introduction
You have probably heard about people making hundreds of thousands of dollars simply by marketing a product on the internet. There are thousands of books out there telling you how to “get rich quick” on the internet. Most of them are bunk. This is not to say that you cannot make a tidy profit on the internet. In fact, you can easily make a living working on the internet and quit your day job. You don’t need to invest a lot of money or have a Master’s Degree in marketing, either. You just have to know what sells and how to sell it.
A few years ago, I went to work at a job that I hated every single day. I have a high school education and there was not a lot of opportunity open for me. Going to school to earn a degree was out of the question - I have two children who I support solely on my own. I had neither the time, money or energy to further my education. It was all I could do to get to work and pay the bills.
One day, I found out that my job had been “outsourced.” The company that I had relied on to “take care of me,” decided it was more important to save a few dollars and send my job to another country. They gave me a few bucks and told me to hit the road.
I was a 40 year old widow with two kids to support and no education and little skills. I figured I would have to go on welfare or get a number of low paying jobs just to keep a roof over our heads. Then a friend told me how she made

FOREWORD
I am proud of the fact that for the past several years our division of General Motors has been a leader in the GM Suggestion Plan. This record stems, at least in part, I feel, from the "climate," the idea-atmosphere, that pervades our organization. That, I believe, is the most important single result to come from our continuing creativity program.
Surely we teach people some specific ways to generate ideas. The techniques described by Charles Clark in this book are followed, and I might say I've even learned some new ones from him. But, above all, we have tried to create a definite feeling among our people, especially our management and technical groups, that our division has a "wide-open mind." I don't believe anybody feels he will be criticized for suggesting something new, untried, or different, even if it might seem "screwball."
So I am delighted to have the honor of suggesting to you that this book will make life a bit better for you and for all who are affected by your life and occupation. At work, at home, in groups or alone, "brainstorming" is fun and is valuable.
Maybe we are highlighting the word "brainstorming" with unusual force. The main idea to get from a book such as this, however, is that the human brain is a wonderful, fantastic, unbelievable instrument—and one that we can use constantly for the betterment of mankind!
Joseph A. Anderson General Manager AC Spark Plug Division of General Motors, Flint, Mich.

1 Create two versions of your e-zine so people can choose if they want ads included with it or not. This'll attract the people who hate ads to subscribe. You could also charge a subscription fee to the e-zine without ads. This will make up for the lost advertising revenue.
2 Create a long-term relationship with your entire customer base. You can stay in touch with them through an e-zine, with greeting cards, opt-in lists, autoresponders, messages boards, chat rooms, e-mail discussion lists, instant online messages, etc. When you stay in touch, people don't forget about your business.
3 When you write and give away a free e-book you will become known as an expert. This will enable you to gain people's trust and they will buy your main product or service quicker. You may get offers from other people wanting you to speak, consult, coach, etc.
4 Give your new customers surprise free gifts. This will increase their loyalty and give you more word-ofmouth advertising. For example, your customer could tell your friend, "I just ordered this new advertising e-book and they gave five other e-books as surprise bonuses! I really got a great bargain!"
5 Offer free classified ads on your web site that expire after a particular time period. People will revisit your web site over and over to resubmit. You could have other things expire or be updated so they will revisit, like e-books, articles, links, software, message board postings, etc.

Every day, thousands of people think about starting their own Webmaster business. Some want to break away from the daily drudgery of working for someone else. Some crave the flexibility of working from home. Some need to supplement their main income. Some feel they are ready to expand their services beyond their circle of contacts. Still others… the list of personal reasons could go and on.
But here’s the catch…
Every day, most of these people do nothing but dream.
The Webmaster BUSINESS Masters Course was written for Webmasters who are ready to stop dreaming and start building a home-based Web site design business.
That’s you!
Perhaps you are presently employed full-time/part-time in the field. Or perhaps you design sites for relatives, friends or associates as a favor in your spare time. It doesn’t matter. You already know, based on current and past experiences, that consumer demand for Webmaster services is substantial and that it’s not about to evaporate anytime soon. You are definitely not embarking on a highrisk business proposition.
On top of that, you will have all of the advantages of working from home…
• no office to rent
• no boss telling you what to do
• flexibility to pick your own hours
• ability to generate income in your living room
• and the biggest advantage of all, you’re the person in charge. You decide how, when and where you want to work.
The Webmaster BUSINESS Masters Course will get your business rolling in the right direction. It gives an insider's view into some of the variables involved in setting up a business, creating a contract, working with clients, and other important operational aspects. This Course will help you avoid common problems and mistakes, the kind that cost you time and money.

What is a Slipstream?
“The slipstream of a moving object is a region of reduced pressure or even suction (negative pressure), exerted in the neighborhood of the object and in the direction of its movement, and caused by its movement through a medium.
The term "slipstreaming" is most often used in relation to objects moving through air, though not necessarily flying. If a following object, moving at the same speed, can position itself within the slipstream, it will require less energy to maintain its speed than if it was moving independently, because the front object blocks a significant amount of air resistance. Using this principle is called slipstreaming.” (The above is from the Wikipedia Page on Slipstream & Slipstreaming) You've probably heard that while driving on the highway, if you position your vehicle behind another larger vehicle, your vehicle requires less energy to stay it in motion, therefore you burn less fuel.
If you watch car racing, like the Brickyard 400 or Indy 500, you'll notice how most of the cars follow immediately behind another car because there's less wind resistance in those positions. The lead car “breaks a path” through the air for the ones behind. They burn less fuel and in some cases are actually “sucked along” because there's less air pressure.
It's simple physics that can be applied to a lot of different situations. And when applied as a marketing tactic it can be extremely beneficial for both the “lead vehicle” and the ones in the slipstream.
Lets look at an example of Slipstream Marketing in action.
Back in late 2004 I published and released an ebook called RSS Exposed. It was the first ebook ever written on how the use of RSS technology and blogging could be used in a marketing enviroment.
At the time, RSS and blogging was still virtually unheard of in Internet Marketing circles. People didn't understand the technology behind it, or the implications of utilizing it as part of their marketing efforts.

Introduction
Article writing can be difficult when you are first beginning. You want to get the word out about your website or products and know that writing articles is a great way to build credibility with internet users and the search engines.
The temptation is to write a glowing sales pitch about your product or offer. One word for you: Don’t. Save the sales pitch for when they get to your site. And that’s where articles come in. The job of an article is to get visitors to your site. They aren’t re-modelled sales letters. You have to give a bit to get a bit. You give out some valuable information and the reader will give you their time and read what you have to say.
Writing articles that you want to release to a wide online audience are all about demonstrating your credibility by providing useful information for the reader. And useful information doesn’t include how fantastic your product is and how it’s going to change their lives. Even if it will do that, you can’t write an article about it and expect to get it published.
So how do you write an article that others will want to read and not only that but it will make them want to take action and click on the link to your site?
It goes back to that old chestnut – find out what people want and then give it to them. How many times have you heard that before?
How exactly do you do that?
You find out what web visitors are searching for by doing keyword research, find out what the hot topics are from message boards and blogs, look at your own web stats and see what terms are already bringing traffic to your site. You could also put up a page on your site where you ask visitors to tell you if they are wanting specific information or it could be a survey page making it easy for visitors to give feedback.
Or if you offer a search function on your site use a tool like Hitslink to track the path people take as they navigate through your site and the search terms they use along the way.

Honest. It wasn’t intentional…
I’ve uncaged a monster!
Let me quickly explain: It all started back in June 2005 when I released ArticleAnnouncer, the web’s first and (still) best-selling article submission software and training course. (Note: this report isn’t about ArticleAnnouncer, so keep reading…) As a result, thousands of online marketers (perhaps even you) started to WAKE UP!
My subscribers and customers immediately realized the power of syndicating their articles online to get massive backlinks, traffic and boost their search engine rankings like nothing else – all at NO cost. They started writing… hiring ghostwriters… and submitting thousands of their articles to the top directories online.
Then the bomb dropped…
I guess I should have saw it coming. It was inevitable. The “losers” (a.k.a. lazy marketers) caught wind of how effective article marketing was and they jumped all over it. They started blindly submitting articles in droves, clogging article directories with poorly written articles.
The administrators of these sites couldn’t keep up. Many of them simply packed it in. Directories like these were around for years and then suddenly vanished in 2006… POOF! Netterweb.com
ClickForContent.com
ExpertArticles.com
The Losers Ruined It!
The “losers” always ruin it. Look at what they did to Automated Page Generation Software or Blog-And-Ping… it all worked great for a while, until these folks went hog wild, pushed things too far and killed the gravy train for the rest of us.
Did these losers kill article marketing too? Well, they may have “killed” it for themselves. But luckily, NOT for you and me. You will understand why in a minute.
Sidenote: Before you roll your eyes and say “Oh brother, not ANOTHER ‘Death Of’ … report”, let me say this -- article marketing is NOT dead… if you do things right. I will explain how in this report. Keep reading.
