An Internet Based Mom's Guide to Marketing is Now Free

It was a huge decision, but I'm glad I made it. I poured a lot of sweat and tears into the 132-page manual for moms to market their websites...but I've decided to make it free. I have seen so many moms talking on boards or even emailing me and saying they want to buy the ebook, but aren't sure they can afford the $20 I was asking for it. Well, if I can give that mom a headstart, so she can see how investing $20 here and there for her business can drastically increase her profits...my job is done.

To get the ebook, you have to be subscribed to the newsletter...and if you're already a subscriber, you will get a download link on Monday, so please don't resubscribe. We will try to filter out duplicate subscriptions...but there is a chance you'll get a couple copies of the newsletter on Monday if you subscribe twice.

You can find the information at WAHM-Internet-Marketing-Guide.com

Hey Alice,

Obviously, I'm not a mom... can I still read your ebook? ;-)

Wow Alice, you floored me there! Never expected this at all. On one hand, I understand it's a tough decision. I've been thinking lately if I should offer my book (nothing to do with business) for free also because the information is a little dated and there is no way for me to realistically re-live the experience so i can update the book. I also know the book will help SO many people but the amount of work put into it! Kudos. My hats off.

LOL...Hock, of course you can read it. Of course, I'll make you sign up for the newsletter first and you can unsubscribe anytime. You'll find it's very targeted to the mommy types, but I'm sure you'll get some good use out of it.

Lynette, I have been thinking about it for a long time and I am going to lay it out on the line here...moms are frugal, sometimes out of necessity and sometimes out of cheap-iosity. By giving them access to my ebook, I can open their eyes to the importance of spending money wisely and really investing in their businesses.

I was tired of seeing posts that asked, "Is it really worth it to buy this ebook? I just can't afford it right now." ---> It was only $20 for goodness sake. I can certainly afford to let these moms read it for free and help them however I can.

But on a more selfish note...I have received 123 new subs in the past two days and haven't really made a huge effort to spread the word. People are spreading the word for me...ahh....viral marketing.

As you know, Kelly and I are about to embark on a more topic-specific product line and giving away my ebook will be an excellent introduction to what people can expect from these products. And Hock...these products will be marketed to a more general audience. :) I will also make sure Kelly sends you a review copy of our first website traffic program, so you can check it out too.
