Good Free Stuff

I got side-tracked today because so many marketers have "moved the freeline" that is is easy to spend the whole day just going through video training series and free ebooks. Some of these are stand-alone, and some are the start of a pre-launch. Some come with resale rights, and some not.

Still other very low cost items came on sale today.

It is hard to know where to start. I think there will be several blog posts just to get through all the good stuff.

James Grandstaff is giving away a lot of great video content on creating squeeze pages as part of a pre-launch to his "Squeeze Page Traffic Secrets." The first fr ee video goes over the basics of why any marketer must have a squeeze page for every promotion. The second video goes in to free and low cost traffic generation techniques leading up to a description of how to generate 600 or more visitors per hour. The last video will be released August 1 and will go into advanced techniques. Access this series at http://www.instantmlmsqueezepages.com.

Sylvie Fortin has had it with shady marketers. She has just come out with a free downloadable book blasting the 15 sins that many Internet marketers commit. One of the pet peeves she shares is that all too many of her clients have asked her freelance company to skimp on help desk services by purposely ignoring requests for refund or requests to suspend a membership. The morons who feel this is acceptable customer service feel the customer is too dumb to notice that they are paying for unwanted services and will eventually just give up.

This poor customer service practice is also one of my pet peeves. I could name some big name marketers who have allowed their help desks to drag their feet on refunds, whether purposely or because of incompetence on the part of the service desk people. I can't tell you how much this has made my blood boil on occasion.

Sophie's free download of "Internet Marketing Sins" can be found at http://www.internetmarketingsins.com.

I'll continue my "moving the freeline list" tomorrow.
