""This is Barely Legal... But You Can Still Get Away With It""A Review of Guerrilla Marketing: Put Your Advertising on Steroids by Mark Joyner, International Best Selling Author of The Confidential Internet Intelligence Manuscript I guess it's human nature to be tempted by things that are forbidden -- or barely legal, for that matter. There's something wickedly delicious about""getting away with something"" that makes us feel like the ""cat that swallowed the canary."" Face it. We all want an unfair advantage if the prize is appetizing enough. Olympic athletes took steroids before the anabolic drug was banned-- for the prize of a gold medal. What would you do for the prize of having an Internet business that is insanely profitable? I doubt that you'd do anything illegal... but if it were legal, you'd do almost anything, wouldn't you? What the heck am I talking about, you ask? Here it is: Just when I thought I'd read every valuable book on marketing, Jay Conrad Levinson revives my amazement yet again. Given the fact that Jay has always been famous (and notorious) for his unconventional and revolutionary ideas, I shouldn't be surprised that he has pioneered yet another blockbuster concept: steroidal marketing. In his new book, Guerrilla Marketing: Put Your Advertising on Steroids, Jay took the proven concepts of the world's most successful companies, and synthesized them into a new type of marketing that any Internet business can use to make mega-profits. Among other things, he shows you how to make your Internet business insanely profitable on a tiny marketing budget -- and use stealth tactics to snatch business away from your competitors. Those 2 things alone are well worth the cover price. Somewhere along the way, I must have gotten pretty smug about Internet marketing because it took someone like Jay to give me a jolt in the head with his new arsenal of innovative strategies. He reveals things that most so-called marketing ""gurus"" don't even know -- but if they did, it would boost even their business by at least 30% to40%. What can you expect from the man who made ""guerrilla marketing"" a household word, and masterminded 3 out of the 10 most successful advertising campaigns of the 20th century (including the Marlboro Man, Green Giant, and Fly the Friendly Skies)? Guerrilla Marketing: Put Your Advertising on Steroids is definitely a treasure, and I recommend that you check out how Jay invented this amazing method of marketing.

History is full of stories where tiny, unadvanced armies have handily defeated better equipped and much larger armies. The history of these battles is the history of guerrilla warfare. It may shock you how many of the ""big business"" names (that are now household words) started out as struggling small businesses. The history of the ascent of these icons is the history of guerrilla marketing. Until 1984, the principles of guerrilla marketing were known only by a select few people in the world. They jealously kept this information quiet with almost fanatical secrecy. And who can blame them? If you had some special knowledge that allowed you to rise to the top of your field, would you want this information to be made public? Of course not! The balance of power was dramatically upset by a maverick marketing genius named Jay Conrad Levinson - a man who is arguably the most respected marketer in the world. He is the man who coined the term ""guerrilla marketing"" and introduced these secrets to the average Joe. His concepts are so successful that he has sold over 14 million books on the subject (in 41 languages), his books are required reading in the most respected MBA programs in the world, and he is now the most widely read and respected author of business books in the world. And Jay did all this ""from scratch."" That is, the success of the ""Guerrilla Marketing"" brand is a testament to the very principles Jay himself teaches. So, what then, is Guerrilla Marketing all about? Let's take a segment from Jay's new book ""Guerrilla Marketing for the New Millennium"" to learn: ""Marketing is absolutely every bit of contact any part of your business has with any segment of the public. Guerrillas viewmarketing as a circle that begins with your ideas for generating revenue and continues on with the goal of amassing a large number of repeat and referral customers. ""The three key words in that paragraph are every, repeat, and referral. If your marketing is not a circle, it's a straight line that leads directly into Chapters 7, 11, or 13 in the bankruptcy courts. How is Guerrilla Marketing different from traditional marketing? ""Guerrilla marketing means marketing that is unconventional, non-traditional, not by-the-book, and extremely flexible. Eighteen factors make it different from old-fashioned marketing: "" Jay then goes on to list 18 things that separate guerrillas from ""mere mortals."" (See below for info on this new book - it's recognized as his most powerful work yet.) So, how then, does this information apply to those of us marketing on the Internet? Far more than you think! The Internet is not just a new guerrilla battlefield - it's the ultimate guerrilla battlefield. There have been more small business mega-success stories in the last 5 years than in the combined history of business. And there are clearly two factors that have influenced this more than anything: 1. The Internet 2. Guerrilla Marketing Ever wonder why big businesses are totally blowing it online? Because they are not guerrilla thinkers! These big bloated bureaucracies are sluggish and set in their ways. This means that someone like you can step in and out-maneuver them. (More and more big businesses are turning to small business entrepreneurs to teach them how to market online - the tables have turned!) So, start thinking like a guerrilla right now. You have the advantage - all you have to do is take it. Here's thedefinitive place to get started - where you will find an easy to follow step by step plan for launching a ""guerrilla attack.""

The guru of the Guerrilla Marketing series, which has sold more than one million copies, shows small business owners how to cut through the clutter of new information with simple, powerful ideas that customers will find irresistible. Today, with more than four thousand marketing messages assailing consumers daily, it is more important than ever to create an original, appealing, and memorable message. Marketer extraordinaire Jay Conrad Levinson shows readers how to craft such messages using memes -- simple symbols that represent complex ideas. Memes can be words, such as Lean Cuisine or "Remember the Alamo," or they can be images, such as the Red Cross or Betty Crocker. They can even be actions, like drenching a victorious coach with a barrelful of Gatorade. The best memes can propel a product or service to the pinnacle of success. As no other book has done before, GUERILLA CREATIVITY shows how even someone who doesn't consider himself creative can make memes that work. Using a variety of examples of memes both good and bad, Levinson guides readers step by step through the process of fashioning marketing materials that result in increased sales, savings, market share, and profits. Along the way he reveals the fifty reasons people buy things, the ten biggest marketing myths, ways to make your message instill hope, surprise, and urgency, and many more wise, surprising notions that readers can readily translate into profits.
