Hi:
Well, for time being I have relocated to
Laughlin, Nevada, which is on the Colorado
River across the border from the state of
Arizona.
I'll be here a few months, but they tell me
it routinely reaches 120 degrees in the
summertime, so I may pack up and move
by June.
Anyway, I have a host of valuable tools and
resources in this issue, and the very first
article lists a free ebook by, Jinger
Jarrett, that is a must addition to your
library.
By the way, if forums are part of your
Internet marketing strategy, then the info
in "Tracking Topics Of Interest Across
Multiple Forums will prove to be very
powerful!
Let's make 2005 the year we all get rich on
the Internet!

3 Strategies to Market Your
Business Even When
There's No Money
By Kathleen Gage
Many small and home based businesses
know they need to market and yet, have
little or no money to do so. Sadly, many
use this as a reason not to market.
Even on a limited budget you can promote
and gain visibility for you and your business.
The following three strategies have proven
extremely effective for countless businesses
as they can for you.
(1)Press Releases
Very effective and they offer a great deal,
of credibility when published. You must
have a well written release that is
pertinent to the media source you are
sending it to. You can distribute press
releases both online and off.
A quick Internet search under media
resources in your city will bring up
radio, television, newspapers and
magazines in your area. To find
online resources do a search under
“free online press release distribution.”
Numerous listings will come up. Be sure
to utilize the free services when on a
limited budget.
There are services you can pay for if you
are so inclined. Two excellent resources
for both free and paid are:
http://www.prweb.com and
http://arrivenet.com/
Prior to writing a press release, determine
the following:
-Who is your target market?
-What is your target media?
-Who is the contact person at the media outlet?
-What is the timeframe for submission?
-Do you have an attention-grabbing headline?
-Do you know the who, what, when, where, why, how?
-Do you have good quotes, research and
technical date if appropriate?

to see how powerful a well-written release
can be.
(2)Articles
Writing articles is a great way to gain
recognition as an expert in your field
or specific industry. By providing practical
information, you can reach targeted audiences.
This can create exciting opportunities for
you and your business.
Whatever you write about should be something
you are knowledgeable on and your information
is factual. Incorrect or untrue information
can come back to haunt you.
Recently I read an article by someone claiming
to be an Internet marketing expert. Their
article was about gaining visibility on the
Net. To find out how much visibility this so
called expert has I did a name search on the
author.
The “expert” author had only 10 postings under
his name. Not very impressive when other
experts have thousands of listings. The author
immediately lost credibility.
(3)Presentations
One of the most incredibly effective ways to
market your product or service is to offer a
complimentary information seminar. When you
provide great information that is of interest
to your market you have become a resource
before you are a vendor.
By positioning yourself as a resource you are
marketing in a very unique way.
Hosting a presentation can be virtually expense
free. You can offer to do a presentation at a
staff meeting for a client. Many large companies
have brown bag lunch speaking opportunities.
You can host a meeting open to the public at
your local library. Be sure to send press
releases to the local media when you are
offering a presentation open to the public.
Many associations, including your local Chamber
of Commerce, are constantly seeking presenters
who can provide timely and content driven talks
that benefit their members.
When you apply one of the three
recommendations to your marketing mix you
will gain benefits. When you apply all three
the results can be phenomenal.

Using Business Networks
In Your Marketing Strategy
The high value of personal contact will
never go out of style even in the era of
the Internet.
Here are three business networks where you
can develop and nourish relationships with
like-minded people!

How To Track Down
Domain Name Owners
http://resultstracker.net/t.php?id=40402
When proposing a joint venture or a
reciprocal link or an ad swap, sometimes
a phone call is the best course of action.
Using this Whois software is a valuable time
saver in getting info such as name and phone
number for domain owners.
Important note: All domain name lookup
software including Domain Name Analyzer,
etc. require access to port 43. You will
need to enable access to this port if you
are behind a firewall or proxy. So ensure
that the whois lookup problem is not
because of a blocked port 43.

************************************
Free Classified Ads
http://www.backpage.com/
This is a classified site owned by The
New York Times Company so I expect it
to have staying power and attract
considerable traffic.
Since your ad is run in local markets
think up a headline with a geographic
angle, i.e.,
"Why Are Chicago Businesspersons The
Smartest In The World?"
"Are Detroit Advertisers The Best
In The World?"

The Long-term Benefit
Of Offering Valuable Free
Products And Services
To Your Contact Lists
http://resultstracker.net/t.php?id=37342
Here is the #1 concept that drives
the Internet as far as individual success goes:
A high level of credibility has a
monetary value!
You can build your credibility by offering to your
contact lists on a regular basis information that
solves a problem or fulfills a need.
When that information is in the form of free
products or services, your email messages are
virtually certain to be opened and read by a
high percentage of your contacts.
Periodically, slip in a commercial
message, (monetize your
credibility).
If you have multiple lists, you will have some
kind of commercial messages going out on a
regular basis.
The archives of THE TAX TORPEDO Newsletter
are a great source for quality free programs,
products and services.
I am still working on completing an up-to-date
archives with all 2004 issues.

I Heard It
Through The Grapevine
PREDICTING THE FUTURE
A teacher asked one of the boys in her class,
"Can people predict the future with cards?"
His response was, "My mother can."
The teacher replied, "Really?"
The young boy was quick to explain, "Yes,
she takes one look at my report card and
tells me what will happen when my father
gets home."
