Have you ever subscribed to someones newsletter? I have subscribed to more than I can count in my last 10 years online. I decided on a whim to subscribe to Andy Jenkins Stompernet newsletter at some point a few months back. Now what I expected to recieve was a bunch of funky emails with tons of ads or an email with a lot of useful information. Well the last I checked I have been recieving emails that were just ads for other peoples seminars on how to make money online and how its the next BIG thing. I have never subscribed to Stompernet nor do I think I ever will, but I do know that when I signed up for these emails I was expecting to get some useful information. All that was delivered were some massive ad letters on how fantastic this other service is and how much money you can make from it or how it will change your life.

Well I also noticed that every single email is just another way for these guru’s Andy and Brad to make a profit off of you or some newbie in the business by having you click on complex affiliate links. For every sale they send to some other guy, they make a profit. It is webmaster affiliate marketing at it finest. If you want to know how to make a great newsletter then read and study how Brad and Andy do it. Its amazing how easily they suck you in to think that they are even slightly helping you, then before you know it you are on someone elses site spending thousands on some new gimick for making millions online.

I’m not knocking these guys for doing what they do. They probably make millions doing it. Its probably one of the most lucrative markets to make money online. You make a convincing newsletter about how it will change their lives and then you send them off to someone elses site with your name or company as a backing. Its the deal for ebooks and video series. In reality you can get the same value out of joining a forum like DigitalPoint. I dont have the heart to sell some ebook to people for a profit. The only ebook I would ever consider buying is Aaron Walls SEOBook. To get back to the point, dont get drawn in to some crafty newsletter about the next big marketing thing. Take some time and try everything you can with marketing online. I bet you will get more value out of trying things yourself rather than buying into some $5k teleseminar or some fancy ebook about making a profit with adsense.
