The past few months have brought me to a boiling point. As I couldn’t find any worthy freebies to review, I went head-first into my treasure chest of long-lost free reports and retrieved something worth reviewing: Rich Schefren’s Internet Business Manifesto.

Schefren Begins

Rich Schefren was no novice, when he wrote The Internet Business Manifesto, in early 2007. He was behind the scenes of Mike Filsaime, John Carlton, Jay Abraham, Dan Kenny and many more, which he is typically not bashful about mentioning. He has been a coach and consultant for a while, but I guess it was high time he expanded.

Gabe & Max and how you can become a better marketer.

Every once in a while I gotta kick off my shoes and relax to some entertainment. For a while, now, I’ve been on a crusade to find entertainment, geared at the internet marketer. Lawyers get TV shows, cops get TV shows, doctors, detectives, journalists and even desperate house wives. So why don’t internet marketers get TV shows? Probably because you won’t sit through 25 minutes of some guy, sitting in his pajamas, in the basement (known as the “Home Office” ) hacking away at his computer.

Internet Marketing Entertainment exists

All is not lost, my internet marketing colleagues! As more and more people are becoming aware of internet marketing, the college humor and smart-ass parodies are on their way. (Yes this does mean you should worry about your methods and the future of internet marketing, but that’s for after the short video.)

An astute friend from StumbleUpon, noticed I’m into internet marketing and sent me this little piece of internet marketing parody. These guys are low-tech, but excruciatingly on the mark. Hope you don’t scare easily

Why am I Really Showing You This?

I’m not in the habit of giving any one particular marketer the spotlight, on a bi-weekly basis, but Stompernet just keeps on giving. This week is all about the S.M.A.R.T.S Strategy Guide.

Not a Glorified Sales Letter

Why do marketers publish reports? (All together now: ) To sell us on their product! (Very good! ) Joking aside, if you’ve been reading The Marketer Review for a while, you should be wise to this, by now. Most of the reports, e-books, white papers, top secret leaked chapters are glorified long-copy sales letters.

Now, I know I must have shattered all your dreams of a free information internet, but all is not lost. Note I have said the word “most”. Some reports are a wonderful collection of data that is very useful and maybe, can’t be found anywhere else. (That state of events doesn’t last long as a popular idea comes along, the copycats and other vulture-like animals will be sucking its bones dry within a matter of days.) The S.M.A.R.T.S report is such a report.

Mert Erkal’s Bloghology is finally launched, and I was ecstatics to find out that your’s truly is the first featured blogger! (page 5)

Mert Coined the phrase and explains it as follows:

An anthology is a collection of poems, stories, songs, articles, or other literary passages chosen by a compiler. Similar to an anthology, a bloghology is a collection of bloggers, their profiles, photos, and links to their best posts. It is a PDF e-book which can be easily circulated throughout the blogosphere for personal branding and marketing of selected good quality bloggers.

So, check me out and download this fabulous piece of web 2.0.

A year ago, I opted-in to Mark Joyner’s Simpleoligy system. I never used it, until today.

What took me so long?

When I first opted-in to Mark Joyner’s Simpleoligy (new on the Hotlist), I was still an internet marketing newbie. Subscribing to every free newsletter, I can get my grubby little hands on (which I still do ) and reading every word, like it was god-sent (which I don’t anymore). I was also a tech newbie. Didn’t know much about the net and all it’s magical applications. Weighing under all these newsletters, I randomly stumbled onto the Simpleoligy 101 page, through my email routine. It didn’t look simple at all. I was overwhelmed and annoyed. So off I went, never to return to my own, personal Simpleoligy cockpit, again.

So why did I come back?
