Internet Marketing With David Ledoux

This is a great article by my fellow Canadian David Ledoux who is also the creator of his latest venture http://bigmoneyfreetime.com

An Internet Marketer Turns 12 by David Ledoux

I've been marketing on the internet since 1996. 12 long human years, and it feels like a century in web years.

That means I'm old...real old. I can pull my green checkered pants up high on my chest, tighten my white leather belt, adjust my bifocals and yell at you kids to get off my lawn!

Back in 1996, we didn't have Adobe Acrobat. In my opinion the ability to create a digital product that no one could mess with changed the game forever. Before we had Adobe, we would email rich text files to people. Or Microsoft 2.0 Word Files. Or Old Wordperfect files.

And screw jobs would edit them, steal them and mess with them.
Piracy was rampant. People would steal your ebooks along with the dancing baby and spinning earth widgets on your website!

Everyone zoomed along with 2800 baud modems. But a few of us had vision. I remember in early 1996 I interviewed several millionaires on the telephone on a huge conference call. I had the audio cassettes transcribed by a local girl (there was no Elance in those
days!) and then given away on one of my earliest sites. More than 12,000 people downloaded that transcript in '96. Those were record numbers back then!

And then I broke new ground. A young upstart company called Real Audio had a program to convert a sound file into an audio file that could be streamed over the "information super highway". That's what we called the Interweb back in my day.

We had skinny little tubes that pushed data into people's computers. And Rob Glazer had figured out a way to do it with sound. By the middle of '97 I had several hours of streaming audio on my site. I was a pioneer!

It was easy to rank high on Alta Vista. That's what we used to call Google back in the day. Then that Wang kid started Yahoo. I phoned him in early '96 I think to get my site listed.

When a 14 year old John Reese invented the "automatic emailer program" back in '96 we used it to send email newsletters to our friends. This autoresponder-thingy gained steam when my friend Tom launched Aweber. I was one of their first 99 customers. I've been getting royalty checks from them for a decade!

The cool thing about email back in '96 was everyone read your stuff. People got so few emails back them, we'd get like a 99% open and read rate. People would actually thank you for emailing them!
Maybe it was the steady diet of awesome TV like Friends, Seinfeld and The Simpsons.

Ah, the good old days. Internet marketing was simpler back then. We walked to school 3 miles each way, barefoot uphill in snow, and we liked it! None of this fancy flash stuff, no YouTube, no wireless, no highspeed, voice-over-Magnum-PI, pay-per-tick, mumbo-jumbo. We made our money the old fashioned way online. We made 3 page static websites and sold them for five grand a pop....

Like any goldrush, the web back in 1996 was insane. There was a lot of money to be made selling donkeys, rope, pans, eggs, picks and shovels. Back then we'd sell the map to the gold mine and hungry marketers would pay us top dollar. Today these lazy Red Bull drinking kids want the map for free, the shovel for free, and someone to dig up the gold for them for free while they sit on their ever-widening behind playing Donkey Kong on their Wii!

You young interweb whipper-snappers listen up! Anytime you feel like complaining, remember this old coots words..."You ain't got no clue how easy it is getting rich on the internet today! Now get off my lawn...."

Internet Marketers This Is Your Wake Up Call

Internet entrepreneur and Canadian Author David Ledoux shocked a full house on an internet marketing conference call recently when he point blank said that “93% of internet marketers fail not because they don’t buy enough training, but because they fail to hire the right virtual assistants”. More info here that you'll want to take note of.

Advanced technology now allows anyone to find highly trained people that are faster and better than you are at getting tasks completed. You can hire these people that will work for less than you are and they love to complete the work that is tedious and time consuming for you.
Instead of competing with these people hire them to work for you.

Just over a week ago an interview took place where David Ledoux talked to a high profile virtual assistant Jeryl Massini. She runs the launches and is behind much of the work that Frank Kern produces including his recent launch, Mass Control Blitz. Jeryl has been working for Frank Kern for more than 4 years and knows the blueprints behind the most successful internet marketing launches ever.

In this no holds barred interview Jeryl reveals how to hire the best virtual assistants, fire the ones that you don’t like and how to create a great working relationship with all your members. You can get the download of this podcast and the transcript in a pdf at

This podcast is for you if you are wondering how Frank Kern can run his multi-million dollar empire and launch successful businesses routinely. This will shock you!

Why a Marketing System Is Crucial For Your Success

One of the most asked questions in the network marketing industry is “how do I contact more qualified people to view my business?” The real question should be is “how can I get more qualified people to contact me about my business.” For most people this is a strange question because they have never had anyone come to them asking to get started in their business. One of the best and most effective ways to do this is through a process called Attraction Marketing. You can utilize this business system to attract high quality people to you by offering free and paid useful information on how to effectively build a home based business. This is why a marketing system is crucial for your success.
