A couple of months ago the U.S. FTC (Federal Trade Commission) rocked the Internet marketing world when it revealed new guidelines for testimonials, endorsements and affiliate marketing.
The FTC didn't like what was happening and felt that even respectable marketers were straying into grey areas which may deceive consumers.
Now we have unintended consequences of the FTC guidelines when a pillar of the Internet marketing community - Jeff Walker - announces that he is going to stop using case studies because they show ordinary people using the Product Launch Formula ideas to make lots of money.
Lucky Jeff has a plan...

This offer will not be suitable for most of the readers of this blog but world class SEO experts (and StomperNet faculty members) Dan Thies and Leslie Rohde have joined forces to create a new SEO coaching and training program called...
The SEO Brain Trust - affiliate link
It's probably too specialised and expensive for everyone except those who want to dominate the SERPs for their keywords in competitive niches or who wants to be an SEO consultant.

Two days ago I told you about Damian Benko and how his original launch for Turn-Key Mentors was hacked and how it was reborn as the Turn-Key Coaching Club.
I mentioned that there was a BIG ethical bribe to get you to try the Turn-Key Coaching Club and it is called...
The 4 Step System
You can read what I've got to say or jump straight to Damian's sales letter for The Four Step System/Turn-Key Coaching (and yes it is an affiliate link - every penny helps).

Twelve months ago I told you about a new Internet marketing star in the making...a Frank Kern protege called Damian Benko and his new coaching program, the Turn-Key Mentors.
Yesterday Damian contacted me out of the blue and shared his story of what had gone wrong and how he wanted to make it up to me with his new Turn-Key Coaching Club with a big give-away to bribe people into giving him a chance.
I was intrigued and I think you will be too when you learn about what happened.

In late October Ryan Deiss previewed his webinar for the "Undercover List Building System" to his own list and he is now making it generally available.
I had the chance to watch this webinar and I took plenty of notes so it's well worth your time if you need to build a bigger list - and they do say the "money is in the list".

Yesterday I told you about a new program from John Reese called Money Mindset designed to help you to overcome Information Overload. I commented on the irony of an Internet marketing guru selling a product to teach you how to cope with the very overload created by the Internet marketing gurus.
It's easy to blame the gurus for their enticing offers, the oodles of free stuff you feel you need to see and their big bonus offers on every must-have product launch.

I thought it was just me but something seems to have happened with the indexing by Google of Typepad blogs.
As my blog gets bigger, I have seen some blogs indexed lightning fast and had hits and comments after I had published but before I had completed my read through.
Typepad have been changing their blogging platform and they have made some terrific changes, even though the new format took some getting used to.
This indexing issue is a problem.

John Reese has released a new low priced training program called Money Mindset which I thought looks interesting.
I'm not an affiliate for Money Mindset and the launch seems to only be to his house list and perhaps even customers.
I had to launch at the irony of his headline
Information Overload Made Me 'Mentally Paralyzed' Leaving Me Sitting In Front Of The Computer For Hours But Not Actually Doing Real Work

The new Arbitrage Conspiracy launch continues and the next stage is that Internet entrepreneur Shawn Casey is interviewing Aymen on just what he does.

It seems a much quieter launch this year than the December 2008 launch when all the big gurus were pushing the Arbitrage Conspiracy hard.

I have a strange fascination with the area covered by the Arbitrage Conspiracy and the secret power-plays of those on the inside and it's the same with the stock markets, commodity markets and foreign currency markets.
So the Arbitrage Conspiracy is back and the second report is titled The Great Cartel Cash Grab!
You may not want to do this stuff but it makes a fascinating read.
Here is the promotional email for affiliates (and yes I am an affiliate).

One of the main business gurus I pay particular attention to is Dan Kennedy of Glazer-Kennedy because he fits in so well with my work with small businesses, with coaching and with promoting information products.
Every year there is a special event for information marketers called the Glazer-Kennedy Info-Summit and in 2009, they have started publishing videos on YouTube.
So I thought that I would do what you're supposed to do and bring them to you by republishing on my blogs.

A bit of history for you today as Ken McCarthy has released a video from the first Internet Marketing Conference back on November 4th 1994.
That was my last year of employment and we had a new CEO who was interested in the "web" and had a company Compuserve account created.

One of the big concerns I have about the Internet marketing business is how the product launch process (which is very clever) which people into a buying frenzy and the how excessive use of launch bonuses knock anyone who is hesitating off the fence and into whipping out his or her credit card.
It is said that 80% of the people who buy won't benefit, about 15% will do OK because they will take some actions and just 5% will do really well.
I understand from experienced information marketers like Dan Kennedy that these are the statistics - always have been and always will be.
