Internet Marketing: Getting Started

Internet marketing is something that everyone studies. A few of us have written a couple ebooks on it. A couple of us have even taken a course or two. But, if I asked you to explain what it is, no one could write a 100 word description. If I asked what 'you' are doing - you wuld say nothing. But, you would complain that you are not making more money.

So - in essence - Internet Marketing is an exercise in making money.
