“Hi Eric, it’s Terry Telford from TerryTelford.com. I just wanted to write you a quick note to compliment you on your new book, “Mastering Niche Marketing.” Although I was very impressed with the detail you’ve given, I think you got the title of the book wrong. I would suggest, “If you read this book and apply the principles, you will make money . . . Period.” Although my title is a little longer than yours! In all seriousness, Eric, this book is a must read for anyone who is considering using the internet to earn an extra income, or even making a career of it. The step-by-step detail you’ve covered leaves “no stone unturned.” I feel this book will be beneficial for 2 types of people. The first group of people who n (more…)

Anyone who has been involved with online business and marketing for any length of time has heard the term “Internet guru.” Most commonly found in splash page sales letters, the term is used in two main ways. First, some say, “Learn how this Internet guru makes $50,000 a month!” and others say, “I’m not an Internet guru, just some guy who makes $50,000 a month.”

So, what IS an Internet guru?

Basically, the term “Internet guru” is one bestowed (by oneself or others) on those who make a lot of money online and share their knowledge of how to do it. Because they make money online, it is necessary for them to know a lot about internet marketing, web 2.0, social networking, web design and development, copy writing, etc. etc. etc.

Can anyone be an Internet guru?

With a lot of hard work and dedication. Yes. But you don’t have to call yourself that to succeed online.
