Thai Food and eMail Marketing In The Offline World

by Mark E. Mason on May 5, 2009

I really like Thai food and Mexican food.  This is a story about both.

I look to some people to learn about internet marketing, and I look to others to learn about internet business.  It's not that internet marketing gurus are not good at teaching internet business and vice versa, it's just that everyone is great at something, and it makes sense to learn from the best people in every area.

Jason van Orden is one of my favorite internet business guys.  One thing I will never forget is a tale that Jason tells about a friend of his that ended up on the wrong end of an investment joint venture.  The guy had a successful business, but after the deal went bad, he no longer owned the business.  In fact, he was forced out.  He lost everything over night.

Well, not everything.  As it happens, the guy had his email list.  He was able to contact his loyal customers, explain the situation, offer value to them (as he always had in the past), and rebuild his business quickly.  When people say "the money is in the list," I think they have it wrong.  The value is in the list.

Internet Business Fortune Cookie #7 – Joint Venture Tips

by Mark E. Mason on November 26, 2008

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means. It's time for another weekly Internet Business Fortune Cookie.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I am actually at my parents home in Houston, TX at this very moment. I have a lot to be thankful for -- so much so that it is hard to make a list. I was thinking about that today and I suddenly realized that I have never had any turkey-based Chinese Food. Why is that?

A quick trip to Google to search for "turkey Chinese food" reveals information about Chinese food in the country of Turkey, but little information about Chinese food containing turkey. Naturally, my next thought was to dominate the "turkey Chinese food" niche, but I don't see any AdSense ads on that page. Guess I'll hold off on that site for the time being.

This week The Cookie has come out on the side of the value of Joint Ventures in Internet Marketing. Read the Full Article →
