“This ebook was created after receiving yet another email from someone in debt & desperate.

Let me save you getting to that point. I went there…. and I don’t recommend it!”

Diane Corriette…founder of Women Internet Marketers

Her experience with that desperate person was what started this mission to share with others the mistakes we made as we ventured into the internet marketing world so that you might learn from our mistakes. We all make mistakes when we start and even more as we get in deeper. That’s just the nature of business.

But the point of having teachers and mentors is to learn from their mistakes and their wisdom so that we can side step the pitfalls, focus on what works and follow the systems they have developed, which, if we follow faithfully, the chances of succeeding far exceeds the norm.

So it just made sense when Diane came out with an ebook that described the 7 top mistakes she made when she was just getting started on the internet, so that those who read it would know what NOT to do, saving them time, money and demoralizing frustration.

When I got her email stating she recieved such positive response and feedback from her book that she was looking to include other’s experiences and advice to come up with a more comprehensive list of “What Would You do Differently?”, I knew I had a responsibility to share mine.

So I swallowed my pride and wrote about a few “faux pas” I made myself, as did other experienced internet marketers and I’m writing this post today to let you know how to find this valuable resource if you want a head start when it comes to marketing your business or nonprofit on the internet.

There’s some GREAT stuff if you’re just getting started. Even if you’ve been online for a while, we can all use some pointers now and then. Below is the link…see if it’s something you can use to make your life easier:

My Internet Marketing Mistakes

I met Diane when I got back from Next Internet Millionaire. Actually, she found me and through social networking, a teleseminar interview, some phone conversations and a mastermind group, I have found her to be an incredible teacher, mentor, internet marketer, writer and friend.

I highly recommend you get to know her…she takes part in my GutZy Women Virtual Clubhouse often and has so much to offer!

As if a record crowd at the eWomen Network luncheon last friday listening to my message about the way Web 2.0 was changing the face of business wasn’t exciting enough, we then got the go ahead to announce a Teleseminar/Webinar taking place on  Wednesday, April 09, 2008 10:30 AM-11:30 AM (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) with none other than the Founder and CEO of eWomen Network herself, Sandra Yancy.

It’s going to be a great chat hosted by me, with Sandra and Mary Pearsall, the Managing Director of the Colorado Springs Chapter, getting JAZZED about the 8th Annual International Conference & Expo in Dallas Texas, this July 10 -13, 2008.

The purpose of the call is two fold…first to get the word out about this phenominal event to those of you who might not be aware of this organization or the event to give you an idea of what it’s all about, but also to demonstrate one of the tools the online marketing world is using MOST SUCCESSFULLY…the Teleseminar/Webinar.

And one that GutZy Women plans to use regularly from now on to interview GutZy Women all over the world by phone.

What is a Teleseminar/Webinar?

Now maybe you’re rolling your eyes because they’re NOT NEW. They’ve been around for years and maybe you’ve taken part in tons of such calls, but for those of you not that familiar…you just call a number, usually a long distance number, that after giving a “code ” connects you to many others on the same call. When you can also hear the call by connecting to it with your computer, it’s called a webinar and those who might have to pay long distance charges really like this free option…especially those from other countries. According to tests, 65.3% of people choose to listen by Webcast than telephone.

The calls are usually recorded for further listening and can be opened up for question/answer sessions, so have become GREAT ways for includings lots more people in a conversation. Since we women are so good at talking on the phone, this is a viable option for you, even if you’re NOT tech savvy.

Who is Sandra Yancy and What is eWomen Network?
