Last month, Joel Comm’s newest book, Click Here to Order – Stories of the World’s Most Successful Internet Marketing Entrepreneurs, was released and currently ranks #2230 in sales out of all books sold by Amazon.com.

This is not a step-by-step how-to book for new Internet marketers. If that’s what you are looking for, you should probably look elsewhere.

Click Here To Order tells the stories of some of the earliest Internet marketing entrepreneurs who succeeded beyond their dreams. You may know some of their names, already.

In fact, if affiliate marketing is part of your business revenue model, you may even promote products that some of the people in this book created.

From the product description:

While the general public is familiar with the larger Internet companies such as Yahoo!, Google, eBay and Amazon, very few are aware that small business is thriving online like never before, especially in the realm of information products. Click Here creates an entertaining and instructive narrative that provides an in-depth look at the unintentionally underground movement known as Infoproduct marketing, and the people who have profited and succeeded in the industry.

This edition of Click Here to Order is a 300-page paperback book. The list price is $17.95 and, as you probably know, is offered at a significant discount by Amazon.com.

Marketing on the Internet can be a very lonely business since we spend lots of hours in front of our keyboards and sometimes lose sight of what we want to accomplish because we get so bogged down in the details of what we’re doing.

Sometimes, it’s good to get away from the details and learn about the pioneers in this business. Who are they? What did they do? How did they do it? Why did they become so successful?

You’ll find some of these answers in Joel’s new book.

If you are interested in the history of the Internet marketing pioneers, and you want to learn more about how some of the best copywriters made their first dollars with online marketing, you’ll probably enjoy this book.

This is just one of the books about Internet marketing that I recommend in my Amazon.com bookstore.

Do you want to learn about Infoproducts and how to create them?

You can download, for free, Monique Harris and Ken Evoy’s excellent ebook, Make Your Knowledge Sell!.

While it won’t do the work for you, you’ll learn how to create an infoproduct of your own.

They provide great information about picking good ideas, writing to persuade, packaging your infoproduct, marketing it, and making sales.

Make Your Knowledge Sell! sold thousands of copies over the last few years, and now you can get it free. What are you waiting for?

Who knows, maybe you’ll be one of the people who’ll be featured in some future book about successful Internet marketers!

Read Click Here to Order for background knowledge of the business and how it has developed. Get inspired to do more by reading about the people who blazed the trails some of us are following.

Study Make Your Knowledge Sell! to learn many of the details and skills you’ll have to master to create your own infoproducts.

You can get started by learning affiliate marketing before you create your own products

Perhaps you’re not yet ready to create and sell your own infoproduct or service.

One of the best ways to get started in online marketing is to become an affiliate for a company with top-selling, high-quality products and services and then earn commissions by recommending them.

That’s my preferred business model, as you can tell from the name of this site.

I highly recommend Ken Evoy’s Affiliate Masters Course, and you can download a free copy here from my site.

Even if you choose to create your own products and sell them, you’ll want to know more about affiliate marketing. After all, you may create a great product and want to have affiliates helping you sell it.

Act on your dream!

    2. I suppose John, that apart from taking time out to relax a little, that some of these publications may well have a lot to offer in the way that we go about doing business on the net. Although some of it may be old hat, some things never change.

    Also if the book portrays mistakes that the author has made along the way, this would more than likely help us in the way we conduct ourselves in our efforts to become more successful.

    3. I agree, sire.

    It’s much easier learning from someone else’s mistakes than making all of them yourself.

    One of the reasons I like to read these books is because my tired old brain isn’t wired the same way most other people’s brains are.

    I can remember computer programming syntax for years, but I forget basic concepts about business that many people just take for granted.

    For me, it really helps to read the best books I can find in order to remind me of the overall framework of what I’m doing – otherwise I tend to gravitate towards the technical details.

    One of the things I’m working on now is creating an updated business plan and, more importantly, a detailed marketing plan.

    I know that I need to refine my marketing funnel(s) and do less jumping around and creating new websites willy-nilly. So, I’m focusing more on business and less on some of the other things that have proven to be real distractions.

    I also enjoy learning the back-story of people I have met online. I find it inspiring to read how other people succeeded, even if I wouldn’t want to do what they did.

    It helps motivate me to find my own path through this marketing jungle.

    Act on your dream!

    4. I find that enjoying what you do and the want and need to do better is great for motivation. If you are not enjoying it then the need and want tends to diminish after awhile.

    As much as I want to succeed, I want to have fun along the way, especially when it comes to blogging.

    Naturally, this isn’t always possible when it comes to jobs etc. but then I have never stayed at a job for long that I actually hated.
