WebsiteWaves@HereNextYear.com (Marty Dickinson) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:46:15 +0000

Okay, so I’ve been in this Internet marketing world for like 13 years now right? For years I have been among the many anti-spam people.

Got this email in today threatening my Internet access was going to be suspended. It’s a hoax! And it’s confirmed to have a virus attached to the zip file. If you get an email like this, do NOT open it! Just delete it. It’s very tempting to click the link they provide because, who wants to [...]

51 in Attendance at My Copy Writing Bootcamp at Davinci

WebsiteWaves@HereNextYear.com (Marty Dickinson) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:32:18 +0000

This past Saturday, between sicknesses, I managed to make my way to the Wolf Law building at CU in Boulder and stayed on my feet long enough to lead a workshop on copywriting hosted by DaVinci Institute. DaVinci calls their 3-hour workshops “bootcamps” but I know that bootcamps are usualy 2-3 day long events, but [...]

Stephen had a last minute cancellation at that time and one of my favorites stepped in, Eric Graham (the conversion doctor), who did an amazing and current presentation. I must [...]

WebsiteWaves@HereNextYear.com (Marty Dickinson) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 05:07:07 +0000

Why should you use Twitter or any other social networking website for the sole purpose of “getting clicks” from people you don’t know? My first response to this question is that if you are a business owner and you truly have something of such high quality and importance to society, it is your OBLIGATION to get [...]
