Wow, has it ever been busy for us here at the Internet
           Marketing Center. You would think that with all of the ".com"
           crashes, we would have a lot of time on our hands, but that
           hasn't been the case at all! (Not that I'm complaining.)

           The plain truth is, when you have a real business with real
           products -- instead of just a catchy ".com" name with some
           airy theories about "income potential" -- you actually have
           two legs (i.e. an income) to stand on.

           Corey insisted that we keep our business model simple, and
           he's taught our customers and subscribers how to do the same.
           and while this may have sounded old fashioned a year ago, it's
           what has kept our businesses thriving while others are going
           bankrupt!

           More than a few of Corey's "students" have called and e-mailed
           him to thank him for insisting that they keep their businesses
           "product based" instead of.

A) Giving away free stuff for years to collect e-mail
addresses in hopes of selling them something later.

            B) Burning up millions of investment dollars -- spending
               $10 to make $1 -- with the hopes of turning things
               around sometime in the future.

           Corey's rule of "Be profitable from Day One" has allowed us --
           along with our customers and subscribers -- to beat the ".com"
           crashes.

           Anyway, because we've been so busy, I never had a chance to
           address some of the questions people had about the Internet
           Profit Maker Seminar videos.

           (In case you've forgotten, these are the videos of Corey's
           featured appearance at a seminar in London where he shares his
           most late-breaking, cutting-edge tricks and techniques for
           making serious money on the Net.)

So I'd like to take this opportunity to address some of the
most frequently asked questions that we've received.

QUESTION #1:
How long are the videos and how many are there?

           ANSWER:
           Over 4 hours of Corey's presentation at the Internet Profit
           Maker Seminar in London is included on 3 videotapes. The
           event was captured on tape by a professional film crew, so the
           picture and sound quality is truly outstanding.

           QUESTION #2:
           Is the material in these videos the same as the marketing
           course?

           ANSWER:
           Yes and no. Many of the million-dollar secrets that Corey
           shares during this rare live appearance can't be found
           anywhere else - not even in his "Insider Secrets" course.

           The course is your main tool for learning how to start and
           market your online business -- the techniques and strategies
           it teaches are generally the Internet Marketing "basics." The
           videos, on the other hand, focus on more advanced Internet
           marketing techniques that cannot be found in the course.

           Also, I'd like to point out that while Corey's course is an
           invaluable tool that any serious online marketer should have,
           it's sometimes hard for people to sit down in a two-hour
           period and blast through the 600+ pages of hard-core marketing
           tactics. After all, it's a lot of information to take in all
           at once. and we're only human!

           That's why these videos can be a huge asset. I know from
           personal experience that when you watch this live appearance,
           Corey brings the "big picture" into focus.

           He literally walks you, step-by-step, through the very same
           strategies that he personally uses every day to make millions
           of dollars online. and seeing it all live makes it extremely
           easy to understand!

QUESTION #3:
Will the videos work in my VCR if I live overseas?

           ANSWER:
           Yes, the videos come in both NTSC (VHS) and PAL format
           so the tapes will work in any country.

QUESTION #4:
What is covered in the videos?

           ANSWER:
           A lot! One of the reasons Corey is in such high demand as a
           public speaker is because he believes in packing his seminars
           full -- front to back -- with his best, most profitable
           marketing strategies.

           He's literally spent thousands of hours and millions of
           dollars researching and testing his techniques. So when you
           watch these videos, you'll discover...

            - How to guarantee - in advance - that online buyers will
              chase down the products you choose. You'll see exactly how
              Corey used this simple strategy to start a business in 1995
              that still makes him $50,000 every year. It took him just
              two and a half weeks to build a Web site and win the links
              that still drive traffic to the site today.

            - How you can implement a savvy "backend" campaign that turns
              one-time sales into lifetime income streams, generating
              bigger and more frequent sales from your customers. (This
              one strategy doubles our income.)

            - You'll learn about one mailing - which took us about 30
              minutes to send - that made us $234,000 in net profit (not
              gross sales, but net profit - money you put in your pocket
              and take home). A single mailing! Corey will show you what
              it takes to make this happen, walking you through it step-
              by-step.

            - Discover how to grab your visitors' attention within 6
              seconds - by answering this question at the top of your
              home page. If you don't, your site will be slippery, not
              sticky, and 90% of your visitors will click off within
              seconds.

            - You'll learn how - using one simple, FREE technique - you
              can easily get thousands and thousands of people to join
              your opt-in e-mail list. (We used this same technique to
              add 10,500 people to our e-zine list in a single month!)

. and that's just for starters.

           You know, I think what impresses me most about Corey is that
           he doesn't just assume that the same thing is going to work
           for everybody. He actually teaches you the "truths" behind
           his techniques so that you know WHY they work. and so that you
           can adjust them to work for YOUR particular business.

           In over 240 minutes of video, Corey steps beyond the "basic"
           techniques to reveal his million-dollar marketing secrets,
           showing you exactly, step-by-step, how you can profit from
           them.

I honestly don't know of anyone else who does this for you.

           QUESTION #5:
           Do I need the course with the videos or can I just use the
           videos to start an online business?

           ANSWER:
           As I mentioned earlier, the "Insider Secrets" course covers
           the Internet Marketing "basics". The videos focus on more
           advanced techniques. The course is the foundation for
           everything you need to know about starting and marketing an
           online business. The videos give you the ability to take the
           success that you build with the course and increase it
           exponentially.

QUESTION #6:
What is your refund policy on the videos?

           ANSWER:
           We provide a 12-month, 100% money-back guarantee on the
           videos. Plus, you are guaranteed to make $5,000 in one year
           after implementing any 3 of his techniques, or you'll get
           DOUBLE the price of the videos back! And you don't even need
           a web site.

           If at any point over the next 12 months you're unsatisfied --
           even if you implement none of Corey's strategies -- just e-
           mail us at refunds@marketingtips.com and we'll give you a 100%
           refund of the purchase price. no questions asked!

And don't forget that no matter what you decide, the three
bonuses are yours to keep!

QUESTION #7:
How long does it take to receive the videos?

           ANSWER:
           The videos are sent by courier and take approximately 3 to 4
           business days to arrive within North America, and 4 to 6
           business days to arrive if you live overseas.

QUESTION #8:
How much are the videos?

           ANSWER:
           The videos are $97US plus $9 shipping and handling if you live
           in North America and $21 shipping and handling if you live
           overseas.

QUESTION #9:
Is there a discount on the videos?

           ANSWER:
           Yes. Where the price is normally $147, for a limited time they
           are just $97 (a $50 dollar savings!) plus shipping and handling
           charges.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BANNING OF LINK EXCHANGES
-------------------------------------------------

           We have received information from a pretty trusted source that
           Link Exchanges are something that some of the search engines
           frown on and are penalizing for using them.

Here is what the search engines are formally stating:

"...participation in certain services to artificially inflate
link popularity.."

           "...participating in services where you agree to add a list of
           links page on your site. Other participants in the link exchange
           service agree to do the same, thereby improving everyone's link
           popularity..."

           ".. we pay attention to products that automate link management,
           check site ranking, cloak, generate automatic doorways, etc. And
           people who abuse those tools may run afoul of scoring in the just
           same way as people who do unethical things by hand.. "

(The first 2 quotes are from Market Position Monthly, Feb. 2001)

           What's springing up around the Internet are these Free-for-All
           type link exchanges. You put your link in a page that everyone
           is supposed to copy and update once a month, to a page on your
           website. So you have 400 links on a page, all jumbled up, no
           ordered organization, total link chaos and this is attached to
           your website with your domain name embedded into the url address
           for all to see. This is supposed to look like everyone included
           has links pointing to and from them and then the search engines
           are going to just love this, thus sending the webmaster the
           traffic they so desperately need to survive.

           Now along comes the search engine robots, which are the most
           sophisticated machines ever known to man, infused with millions
           of dollars of development money, pretty much all-knowing of
           every keyword on the Internet and the pages to which they belong,
           running on banks of super computers, sitting at the apex of giga
           giga giga bytes of storage. Besides just link popularity, these
           machines do correlational calculations, linking Themes or subjects
           together. It knows the keywords belonging to each website and has
           the ability to do statistical correlation which is common in most
           languages used to create these programs. A quick query to it's
           database and it comes up with a score of how closely you are in
           Theme-tightness to the sites you are linking to and perhaps even
           how tightly-themed those sites you are linked to, are to the ones
           linked to on their websites. The more tightly-themed you score
           means you are only including websites in your link pages that
           match or have something to do with the Themes of your website.

           What we have here in the case of free-for-all link pages is total
           link chaos. No organization to it at all. Of course these sites
           using these methods will be punished. I'm sure that since Zeus
           already has the program code to recognize these websites, these
           search engine robot programmers, who know what they are doing :-),
           have programmed their search engine robots with something similar
           also.

           When Zeus finds the text patterns matching these known link
           cancers or free-for-all link pages, he immediately backs out of
           the site, marking it visited and NOT a ThemeSite no matter what
           the site has to offer, then goes on to the next site. Thus
           completely ignoring it. It doesn't exist.

           I feel very strongly against webmasters creating these types
           of link pages, ruining the very organizational fabric of the
           Internet, in their ignorance in believing numbers win out over
           quality or to the appeal of the easy way out. Those sites with
           these known text pattern matches will never be included in a
           Zeus-generated Link Directory.

           Now think how these same smart search engine robots think when
           they stumble across a Zeus-generated Link Directory. The thousands
           of links listed in Zeus directories are websites that match each
           other in Themes without the threads of the cancerous growth of
           link disorder infringing into it. The difference is like night
           and day, organization over disarray.

           Thousands of links, all nicely organized on hundreds of
           keyword-tuned pages. Resonant Keyword patterns throughout each
           page, using the embedded keywords you selected as your Themes.
           These are used in the meta tags, titles, text, and most
           importantly, the page's url address. Add to each page the
           hundreds of listings which include those same keywords again
           and again in each ThemeSite's url address, title, description
           and comment and perhaps banner image url address. These are very
           good pages to find for a search engine robot.

Order against chaos.

           No Zeus user has reported any decrease of traffic from the search
           engines. Zeus-generated link directory pages are not artificially
           inflating link popularity. We are increasing link popularity
           properly. Those of us who use Zeus, without abuse, should have
           no problems whatsoever, as we bring order to chaos.

           The problem, as I see it, is that uninformed webmasters will start
           shying away from links of any kind. Can you imagine the Internet
           without links? All because of misinformation. It would be the end
           of the Internet as we know it today. If we don't inform the public
           on how to properly obtain and use Reciprocal Links and the dangers
           of using these Links-for-All pages, every webmaster on the net will
           pay for it. Please email your webmaster friends, post this to the
           marketing boards, add it to your website. Let's take care of this
           before panic sets in.
