If you are looking for a good email marketing service, I have tried many of them. I have tried at least Constant Contact, AWeber, iContact, RatePoint, Vertical Response.
In fact, I have used Constant Contact, AWeber and iContact for a long time. All of them have been making improvements on a consistent basis.
The best thing about Constant Contact was the email editor. It was the best hands-down. However, iContact has just upgraded their Message Builder and it is pretty good.
In the past, I have found Constant Contact to be the best for regular (ie weekly, monthly) email newsletters, and AWeber for auto-responders.
However, now that iContact has upgraded their Message Builder, I recommend iContact for all email marketing services. It is now a good service for both regular newsletters as well as for auto-responders.

If you have an invention or a great idea that want to get developed, we have just completed a free ebook for one of our clients.
Actually, the ebook “From Invention to Reality” was written by Ron Docie, Sr. Ron is the original inventor of the car blind-side “wedge mirror”. This mirror is found in all the major retail stores and auto parts stores across the whole world.
Ron has also written “The Inventor’s Bible: How to Market & License Your Brilliant Ideas”.
So, Ron is the expert when it comes to getting inventions into production.
So, go and grab your free copy of the Invention Help ebook “From Invention to Reality”

Wise Internet Solutions has just launched the Innovation Enterprise 2010 Conference website on behalf of our client, the National Nanotechnology Manufacturing Center.
The Innovation Enterprise 2010 Conference is designed to bring together inventors, design / build companies, manufacturers, commercial technology seekers to get solutions off the shelf and into production.
Although the primary focus is on getting solutions for the military, the conference organizers are wanting to engage commercial technology seekers to participate in the military / commercial “Dual Use” program.
If you are an inventor, or interested in any way in getting new technology into production, you need to attend the Innovation Enterprise 2010 Conference in Macon, GA. There is a pretty impressive speaker lineup.
A few weeks ago, I walked into the office of a new client. Their VP of marketing told me that they were in a very difficult situation…
They were being overwhelmed with the number of website visitors that had contacted them. Now they didn’t have enough sales people to follow up with all these new contacts.
In the past, they usually had about 10 – 15 people sign up and attend their events. However, this time, they had almost 100 people attend the event.
So what was the difference?
They had changed the way that they get website visitors to make contact with them – based on our recommendations.
Do you want to know what they did?
We have recorded some free videos to show you. Go ahead and watch them (they are pretty short):
The videos also tell you what to do with the new contacts so that you do not waste the time of the sales people. The complete system automates much of what sales people usually do. This way, the same number of sales people can get more business with less effort.
If you have any questions, let me know by contacting us or replying below.

We have just completed Stage 1 of the new Pine Tree Festival website. This website will continue to evolve as the time draws closer to the festival.
A lot of people start a business with a great idea. Other people that are already in business set out to develop a new product or service that they are sure will sell.
Do you have a product or service that you want to sell?
Save yourself truckloads of money by doing a simple thing – find out if people want it. One quick way is to “ask Google”. Google provides a free tool that will give you an answer in a minute. It is called the Google Keyword Tool:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
Type in the product or service that you want to sell and see how many people search for this every month. Make sure you use generic terms rather than your product / service name (ie “soft drink” rather than “Acme Cola”).
If it is a local or regional service, then include the name of your town, state, etc in the search term.

Have you ever compared TV commercials to websites?
I did, and I realized that effective websites are much like effective TV commercials. The problem is that most websites are not designed like good TV commercials.
Take a look at this video:
If you want to find out why most websites are like this “mock” commercial (and how to create websites that actually generate sales), go to:

We have release a new Free Video:
The video tells:
- How to create a real “direct response” site whose purpose is to generate leads (most of your competitors are unaware of these secrets–and are leaving HUGE amounts of money on the table!)
- The best “bait” to get people to give you their information so you can follow up (this is where you can REALLY build your business into a money-making machine!)
- Why you should NEVER trust a designer to create your website (sadly most people don’t pay attention and end up creating a site that just sits there and collects “digital dust”!)
- The secret to getting your customers to pay you each and every month (Best Part? This strategy can be “cut and pasted” into any industry!)
- The one thing you MUST have on your website if you want to grab your prospect’s attention (this is the MOST important lesson on this DVD!)
- An exclusive case study into the 3 WORST websites and why they are leaving money on the table (don’t do this to your website!)
- Case studies into 3 websites that bring in a barrel-full of leads for their respective businesses (this is a million-dollar education in itself!)
