Is the Forum Equalizer Spam?

I recently received several emails from internet marketers promoting a product called Forum Equalizer. It's a new piece of software that allows you to post a message on hundreds or even thousands of forums in just minutes. Everything is automated and you don't even need to visit the forum to post.

But I do not recommend this product to anyone. I only see it being used by "hit and run" posters who spam a forum just to get their link seen by members.

While forum posting is an effective way to bring targeted traffic to your site, using software that allows you to spam hundreds of forums will only bring you trouble.

Any forum worth a grain of salt is moderated, and they will quickly see through your message as spam and delete it. Repeated attempts will likely find you banned.

As a marketer, your reputation is as good as gold. Don't ruin it by looking for cheap shortcuts. Building an online business is hard work. As soon as you realize and accept that you will be light years ahead of your competition.

Is Internet Marketing Really Dead?

You've heard of Mike Filsaime, right?

He's a big boy in Internet Marketing and the mastermind
behind the Butterfly Manuscript.

Well Mike has released a new ebook titled The Death of
Internet Marketing and he's giving it away for free.

Well, you do have to provide a valid email address so
it's not completely free. But Mike is following the model
used so successfully for the launch of "The Death of Adsense."

When you download the free ebook you receive a special
URL that you can use to promote it. Everytime someone
downloads the ebook from your link, you make a buck.

Plus, you get a dollar for every ebook that is downloaded from
all of those links as well.

Obviously, the dollars can add up pretty quickly. But the offer
is not going to last long so here's what you need to do:

1. Download your free copy of The Death of Internet Marketing.

2. Send your special link out to everyone you can think of. Email
it to friends and family, post in on your website or blog, and send
it to your list.

3. Wait for the easy money to come in. :)

Support for Toys for Tots

I was in Babies'R'Us last night picking up a few things for my kids, and next to the register there was a large collection bin for the Toys for Tots program. If you have never heard of it, Toys for Tots gives toys to needy children during the holidays.

The bin in this particular store was shamefully empty. So I dug a bit deeper into my wallet and bought a few things to donate, including a stuffed tiger and some infant toys.

Please consider doing the same, either at a local store or through their website at http://www.toysfortots.org. Just imagine a poor child waking up Christmas Day and not having any presents to open. Picture the look on that little girl or boys face. Doesn't it break your heart?

As a dad, I have a soft spot in my heart for kids. And I know that it really doesn't take much to make them happy. Even an inexpensive stuffed animal or coloring book can seem like the world to children.

For more details about the Toys for Tots program, please visit their website at:
