This is an extremely interesting set of posts and I have to thank you for them. They have opened my eyes to the next generation of ads and I have to say an extra thank you for the tip you gave on your video.
I have been playing around for a long time with blogs but the real serious sites are just about to come on line so this is very timely indeed. Look forward to seeing more of what you have to say.

Much appreciated.

For some markets do you think those “As Seen on TV” type sites look too slick and professional, and not intimate and personal enough?

Thanks for the heads up.

I totally understand how you would be hesitant about promoting a product that doesn’t live up to its hype.

Many times products (software and scripts) are so buggy it is amazing how anyone that possibly tried them could promote them. Usually they haven’t tested them at all before hyping them with the included promotional material.

Thanks for the honest review.

PS. I’m not saying all products are buggy. But I am saying that some products don’t live up to there promotional hype and if everyone that sent out a promotional mail actually tested it before promoting, there would be a lot less buggy software and scripts floating around the internet.

You just gained a whole lot of my respect by not endorsing a program that has flaws from the outset. Keep up the good and unbiased analysis. It will serve you well.

You also need your own domain name.

Go to GoDaddy.com for your own .com (they’re dirt cheap anywhere you go — but GoDaddy has the best interface for it’s customers and it’s easy to manage when you get a lot of domains)>

That’s all they’ve done is autoresponders and database management for the last 10 years (and they’ve pretty much got it right

Now all you need is your own hositng account.

If you need to be cheap for right now (as I can tell you’re just getting started), then the best cheap service is Teknonmedia.com

Use them. They’re pretty good and they have great support as well.

If I had to give you one last piece of advice before I go, it would be this…

Pick just ONE business model, using ONE set of plans, and target only ONE niche that you’re extremely passionate about, then STICK TO IT UNTIL THERE’S NO MORE MONEY TO BE MADE! By doing this, you’ll have money for the rest of your life

Several lessons:
1) It’s better to do something that may not be perfect and “put it out there” vs doing nothing because you know it’s not “perfect.”
2) Recognizing the value of evaluation and feedback from professional mentor Joe.
3) It’s okay for John to ask for continuing advice from Joe as he acts on his suggestions.

John’s a smart man.
