Dave's Resource Page
I have listed the resources I have found
helpful in
understanding
internet marketing and understanding myself. I have spent
a better part
of a
year researching this topic. I have spent thousands of dollars on
resources.
These are the one's that are worth your time and money. Trust me on
this. There
is a lot of hype out there and there are may individuals that take from
the
experts and publish there own version of this knowledge. The
resources
listed here are from recognized leading industry experts.
Some of these resources are free others have a price
attached.
In the case
of paid resources, I have provided a link to the providers site. I
would
appreciate it if you would use this link since I will get a small
commission
back for referring you. I certainly won't get rich from these
commissions;
however, they will help to offset the cost of maintaining this website
resource.
Analysis
Paralyses
One word of caution,
97% of independent marketers
fail. It is a well established fact that failure is usually caused by
inaction.
It is important that you jump right in to doing. Don't spend all you
time
reading and analysing. Find a good mentor to help you get started.
Determine
that you will do at least one action to move your business forward each
day.
Balance your reading with doing; this will help all the pieces of the
puzzle
fall together more quickly.
Finally, prepare for the inevitable failures, they will happen. They
happen to
everyone starting a new activity. When you see things starting to fall
apart,
remember you are a part of a community that is willing and able to
help. Give
us a call.

Rich Dad Poor Dad – Richard Kiyosaki
Richard Kiyosaki teaches people
to be
millionaires. This is
the financial education that we never received in school. Rich Dad Poor
Dad is not another book that will tell you to buy less and
save more.
Kiyosaki teaches the principles of becoming rich; how to relate to and
use your
money properly. I was so impressed with this book I have given a copy to each of my adult children. I only wish it was available 20 years ago. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to see their money turn into wealth.
Scientific Advertising – Claude Hopkins
When
a new technology such as the internet comes
along, there is a real danger that we through out all the old
accumulated
knowledge as we embrace the new. The one factor that has not changed is
the
human physiology. Claude Hopkin wrote this book in the 1920's after a lifetime in the advertising business. He is considered by most to be the father of modern advertising.
This book is recommended by most of today’s marketing gurus such as Perry Marshall.
Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords – Perry Marshall
Perry Marshall is recognised by
internet marketers as the leading expert on Google Adwords. In fact he
is a brilliant marketer both on the
internet on off. This book goes beyond the mechanics of setting up a Google Adwords campaign. It outlines how to write ads, how to integrate the Adwords campaign with the rest of your marketing campaign.
