What the Heck Does Vincent van Gogh Have to do With Internet Marketing?

Everything and Nothing! On my modest marketing web site I have a copy of a Vincent van Gogh portrait I created for a charity fund raiser some years back. It makes my main page load slow and more than a few people have suggested I should remove it - besides they say - van Gogh and Internet Marketing. What's the connection?

It all boils down to stubborn old learning habits that never die!

Let me explain - I am trained as an artist - one of the best ways to learn how to draw or paint is to copy the Masters. Spend a few hours copying a van Gogh, a Monet or a Durer and you will learn more in those few hours than months spent in the classroom pouring over color theories, composition charts, and paint mixtures.

Learn by seeing thru the eyes of the Masters!

They have been there, done that, and they have solved all the major problems for you. It works perfectly and artists have been learning this way for centuries.

When I started internet marketing I applied the same method. (Did I mention I was stubborn!) A few hours studying the Masters - their techniques, their marketing tools, their mind sets - saved me and they will save you from months (if not years) of trial and error.

Finding the Masters was the hardest part! With so many proclaimed and self-proclaimed 'gurus' on the web; finding the genuine article among all the 'bovine deposits' was extremely difficult.

However, it wasn't long before some names kept popping up, again and again.

Mark Joyner, Neil Shearing, Michael Glaspie, Phil Wiley...!

But where do you find these masters of internet marketing in order to study and dissect their marketing techniques - and yes 'copy' their 'Methods'. After all, a few hours studying their methods will save you from months of trial and error.

That's where an 18 year old kid named Joe Kumar enters the picture!

This brash young marketer had the nerve to pose a simple challenge to these master marketers: "If you lost everything but your internet connection - how would you reach marketing success in just 30 days?"

The results to Joe's Challenge can only be classified as a Masterpiece.

A wealth of marketing techniques and methods you can 'study and copy'. Apply these techniques to your own efforts and watch your marketing soar!

Within minutes you can be reading how the Internet's best 'Master Marketers' answered Joe's question. The free sampling from this book alone is worth your time. Click the link to get it now: http://www.bizwaremagic.com/joekumar.htm

And oh, yes - the van Gogh stays! To heck with load times; I'll put other fast loading anorexic pages elsewhere on my web site.

Van Gogh deserves center stage.

It's a matter of learning.

He's my constant reminder - if you want to succeed online - copy the Masters.
