A copywriter for more than a quarter of a century, Bob has written promotions for over 100 clients including Phillips, Agora, KCI, 21st Century, Weiss Research, EBI Medical Systems, Sony, IBM, AT&T, Grumman, Crain Communications, McGraw-Hill, Intuit, and AlliedSignal.

Bob is the author of 70 books including The Copywriter's Handbook (Henry Holt) and Business-to-Business Direct Marketing (NTC Business Books). He has published more than 100 articles in such publications as Successful Meetings, Direct, Business Marketing, Writer's Digest, and Amtrak Express.

Mr. Bly has appeared as a guest on dozens of TV and radio shows including The Advertising Show, Bernard Meltzer, CNBC, and CBS Hard Copy.

He was a featured speaker at the 2006 annual conference of the National Speakers Association.

After years of writing winning online copy that made his clients rich, Bob decided recently to launch his own Internet marketing business. In creating the "Internet Marketing Retirement Plan" in collaboration with Fred Gleeck, Bob took his online business from zero products and zero income to over $4,000 a week in net revenues. He did it in less than 6 months, and now is on target to make over $220,000 in annual online sales working just 20 minutes a week!

Dear Internet Marketer (or soon-to-be Internet Marketer):

Are you sick and tired of all the "get rich quick on the Internet" e-mails and promotions flooding your in-box and the World Wide Web?

On the one hand, you're probably looking for a way to make a lot of money in your spare time or a home-based business of your own.

Or maybe you want to master Internet marketing so you'll deliver greater value in your current job to your employer.

And you are quite correctly skeptical of some of the outrageous claims and hype-filled promotions these Internet marketing gurus are shoving down our throats.

Maybe you're also a little bit weary off all the hype -- and even a tad offended.

After all, in polite society, it was once considered uncouth to constantly tell everyone you meet how much money you make, how brilliant you are, or how rich you've become "practically overnight."

But for the Internet marketing gurus, no boast is too outrageous, no claim too hyperbolic:

The question, of course, is how can YOU separate con men and flim-flam artists from the real McCoys the few promoters who honestly and ethically make a handsome living online -- and can teach you to do the same?

Here's why this is YOUR problem....

During my nearly 30 years in direct marketing first in mail order, and today in Internet marketing I've observed a ratio that has already remained constant. I call the 90/10 rule.

The 90/10 rule says that 90% of all the schemers and promoters out there are full of baloney.

Their advertising ranges from, at best, outrageous hype and exaggeration to, at worst, outright lies and fraud.

On the other hand, 10% of the "make money on the Internet" promoters are the real McCoy.

They've largely done what they say they can do, which is make a small fortune selling products on the Internet.

And their courses and other teaching products, which range from cheap to expensive, do a great job of showing others how to make money online much the same as they have.

The problem, of course, is that you have no way of knowing who's trying to pull the wool over your eyes and who wants to help you succeed by offering you genuine value in their information products.

For this reason, thousands of innocent consumers are continually duped into buying overpriced courses, tapes, videos, and e-books.

If you've ever come home from an Internet marketing boot camp after spending that month's mortgage payment on the speaker's big package ... only to throw it away unopened a year or two later ... then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Well, a few months ago, I got the idea of researching and publishing a "consumer awareness guide" to Internet marketing gurus and teachers.

Its purpose: to guide you to the best places to learn Internet marketing online ... and prevent you from wasting your time and money on more useless crap and B.S.

Now, I've just released the first edition, and you can be among the first to preview it.

Best Places to Learn Internet Marketing helps you in two important ways....

First, by steering you clear of the shady operators in the world of Internet marketing.

And second, by giving you a guided tour of the best Internet marketing education programs on the market today.

Who do you trust in the Internet marketing world?

Between us, my co-author Scott McDougal and I know most of the "make money online" promoters personally ... or we know someone who does.

Now, in our new guide, Best Places to Learn Internet Marketing, we reveal which programs really can teach you to be successful in Internet marketing and which you should avoid like the plague.

This big e-book over 100 pages gives you 20 different "mini-reports" on the best Internet marketing coaches and teachers out there today.

By best, I mean these Internet marketing gurus:

Each mini-report:
