Great video Charlie. All these methods are really great for attracting people to your Blog or Website. Forums are really great. I don’t think people know just how useful forums can be. They are fun and can get you a bunch of targeted traffic.
J.R.
Advertising and Marketing your products and/or websites can be a frustrating and confusing task. Your video puts the starting line-up in a clear and concise list of what to focus on. I feel like I have been digging a hole of debt to pay for lots of advertising and haven’t given the free things (or less expensive) a chance. I think someone said something about trying all methods and exposing yourself to many different avenues of marketing. I appreciate the straightforwardness of your list.
Now on to the application of what I have just learned.
Hi charlie want to thank you for your advice and your videos and i ben watching for your email; for all the marketers that i have come contected with and also have set up website”s with: even as a afiliate, I still look forward to all of your email”s thank you.so please don’t take me off your list thank you again helps me alot
I have found a small number of good guys on the web such as your self, Jim Cockrum, John
Thornhill, Dave Nicholson, Stuart Turnbull, Chris Farrell and some others whose names escape my mind for the moment. I do make a distinction between the few that can be trusted and all the many people who have turned by my email into a daily horror and from whom I cringe. I find the need to separate people into groups. Those I can learn something useful and
those from whom I must defend my mind and purse. From our first meeting I knew I could learn from you Charlie Page I appreciate your teachings and I thank you for this.
Hello Charlie,
I’ve been reading on your site in various areas. You are highly recommended in the online arena and I appreciate good quality information that your known for.
Please know you have my recommendation too!
Steve
Hi Charlie! great video, great info.. i just started with article writing and will soon become a Ezine to help promote my new business. http://buzurl.com/ck03
god bless you,
Osman
Charlie, Nice video. Thanks for the great information. I was really interested in the article marketing segment.

Charlie
Thank you very much for the free information on your video. I look forward to becoming a member as well as learning how to promote my new business, http://www.petidalert.com. Thank you again.
Terri
Charlie, As soon as the cash flows I am in. I have been itching to join! I am a massage therapist/holistic consultant with lots of great info to help others and like all interested in “financial freedom” to be freed up to do more. Thanks for all your info. Looking forward to working with you!
Charlie, I am so on the verge of signing up! Just awaiting the cash to flow and I am in. I have such a wonderful product to share that boosts the immune system and can help with so many issues people suffer from. I have had issues with hypothyroid for a number of years now and do take lots of supplements but this new one is it! I have used it for 3 months or so and am “warm” like other folks for the first time in so long that it is an exciting to me as I know that I am recovering! Yay. Still taking my other products but this addition everyone should enjoy!
I am a massage therapist/holistic consultant and going strong at 66. Thanks for all your input and I am there soon!
I like your idea about PPC. I haven’t used it yet, but I plan to. To provide advertising cash, I first started doing online surveys, and Mystery Shopping. For those who aren’t aware .. yes, they are real, and they work to bring in cash. The caveat here is that they aren’t a career by themselves. A person could not live on the income generated from these ventures. But they do provide enough cash to get your online marketing in motion. Charlie, I would like your opinion on Spinning Software. By generating unique content, does it really help SEO ratings?
Mike,
I don’t believe that spinners work. They generate articles that might be SEO friendly but don’t help the reader. I like to focus on helping people
Hi Charlie,
I really appreciate your information. It is very helpful for new marketers. My budget is super-limited and haven’t been able to come out of the hole, but I keep working on it and will succeed. It might take me longer, but I’ll get there. Thanks again,
Teresa C.
Hi Charlie,
Great advise. I am new to IM and I am a member of a club that provides complete training to get your own business off the ground. It has been wonderful. Part of our training was to check out the DOE. It did not take me long to realize the value in being a member. I am indeed a lifetime member of the DOE. I highly recommend it. Thanks again Charlie.
Gail
Hi Charlie,
Hope your health is better now and you’re getting along ok. In your great video you sounded like you’re doing well. Keep up the wonderful free content I learn new and very helpful things from all of your marketing tips. They are really appreciated.
Thanks and To your continued success
zora
Hi Charlie this is very interesting. Appreciate take care, Tony.
Hey Charlie,
I am glad to have heard this presentation again. I am a member of the DOE and
appreciate the teaching you do and the help you have provided threw these methods
and by phone on the personal help calls. I am starting to use the PPC on Google
with the help of google research and their free advertising help and the $50 dollar
get started helps. The blogger dot come site is a good place for me to get free
advertising as well as writing articles… Thanks again for you insights and look forward
to more of your helps.
Regards
Sam Rogers
Charlie,
This last video describes my current position ! I certainly will get started with your methods
in my DOE MEMBERS area!!
Thanks,

This is useful, simple and sound advice; thank you, I’ve heard or read most of it before, but hadn’t heard about the warrior forum, so I’m going to look at that now.
Charlie I have learned so much from listening to your videos. I just wanted to say thanks and keep them up. I am a DOE member and continue to learn daily from your sites. Oh and I like how you say PPC not GOOGLE PPC. There are so many options for ppc out their, Google is not the only ppc around and most think of google when they hear ppc. Facebood has ppc and so does many other advertising sites.
Thanks again Andrea
Charlie
Watching and hearing this video for the first time gave me crystal clarity; first and foremost; I love to write and i have written blogs and a few articles on blog sites (wordpress) and articles (ezinearticles); but I never though about going to the Directory of Ezines because well as your video touched on I am somewhat on a limited budget and I am in survival mode. However, I have discretionary income to consider online ventures and desire to be part of this incredible opportunity. Thank you for your persistence in allowing me to be more diligent and discussing with loved ones if i should center my energy on ezine article writing, advertising, etc. If you were to attend to my videos, I am an inventor of the PyramiTronix Resonator a pyramid mind machine for meditation and health; and my topic of interest stems from over twenty years in health and medical services as a military enlisted man and a civilian. However, since becoming an entrepreneur through the Internet, i have promoted other health products and I am involved now with silver and gold coins (a very hot topic). Naturally I would like to be a member of the Directory of Ezines; but I am not your average John Doe; I am very interested in to addressing the decline of the US dollar because America is headed in an area that will eventually be a depression. So thank you for allowing me to address this as topic of interest if it has not already been addressed. I look forward to becoming a member on or about 04/26/2011.
Excellent video Charlie. I loved the fact that it teaches the same things that I have
learned at millionaire bootcamp at Worldproft.
Hi Charlie,
Thank you as always for you useful tips and Infos on all aspects of network marketing.
Your service to our members is priceless.There are very few men of Intergrity and reliability in network marketing like you.
Please keep it up.
Cheers! Collins.
Charlie Thank you for all that you do for this community. Your focus is on the success of those around you and that brings the reward back your way. I look forward to working with you
Mike Gordon
I found this video useful as it confirmed things I have been hearing. I am a member of the Directory of Ezines and truthfully have not utilized it yet. Being a very private person and I am sure there are others like me, (well maybe not) I will not use the social media at all. I don’t post private and personal information and will never do so. I like the old fashion method of picking up a phone and calling someone. I believe, for people like myself, the Directory of Ezines is the best marketing system for me and I soon will be calling Charlie for his advice.
Thanks for the information.
Joe
Charlie:
I am a lifetime member for about 3 months now and I have not taken you up on some of your member benefits. I just made a note to set up the call with you and post my links too.
Thanks for the personal effort, not many program directors offer this kind of service to thier members.
Take care,
Buzz Hill
Thanks Charlie,
I have been an eBay power seller for a couple of years using a drop-ship business model but it is really labor intensive and aggravating sometimes dealing with customer service and returns of physical products.
That is why I recently joined DOE and am working toward an affiliate based business to start with and then my own information products later on.
I have studied several marketers advise and article marketing always seems to come out near the top of everybody’s list for great return for investment of time and effort.
I appreciate your availability to your members and will be in touch soon.
Thanks again and Keep up the good work.
Charlie
I very much appreciate these e-mail & video’s i recieve from you they are full of good skills & knowledge.
Many Thanks Charlie
Jim
As an older guy trying to get a toe hold on internet marketing I can hear where you are coming from. As usual Charlie, you deliver ‘news you can use’. I going to check what I’m doing against the advice in this video right now.
Wow…You have a simple and effective way of putting your
message accross. You see, I am still learning online marketing
and all that you said was what I needed to hear. I will join as
a member soon. I am selling a good product but I have a very
very tight budget, but you seem like you have provided a solution.
My blog is http://wwwhowieblogcom.blogspot.com
Thanks Charlie for the refreshingly clear and concise information. I really appreciate the patience you have with newcomers. That must come from the fact you really care and want to genuinely help people succeed out of the “black hole” of no income. Your commentary and advice is down to earth and makes sense, giving the feeling that “We can do this!”
Great stuff Charlie. Article Marketing and Forums are the most underused methods but they really do work. People have gotten so much into video and social media that they forget these two basic methods that can work like crazy.
Hello Charlie:
Still haven’t joined DOE as yet…budget issues. However, I do want to complement you on your e-mail tips and help. You have a great follow-up system. You sound far more sincere than most. I wish I had heard of you 2 years ago before I blew my “wad”, so to speak, on a zillion products, programs, coaching, software (you name it, I probably have it…somewhere, lost in the confusion of my hard drives). I am, unfortunately, the epitome of “being overwhelmed,” confused and gullible but blessed with patience and persistence…I will get there!
Thanks for your persistence and guidance.
Gerald Smith
Hello Charlie,
i have recently joined DOE and have been busy with all the information available. Excellent video for anyone working on a limited budget – like myself. I particularly liked the way that you did not start with the usual rags to riches story but also explained that you had your own personal story. Now to get down to the nitty gritty and follow advice from someone who has been there but is prepared to use his own experiences to help others.
Thanks again,
Graham
Hello Charlie,
Thanks for these presentations. I have been listening to them. Like the idea of giving informative, but incomplete information.
Andrew
I just thought I would tell you that I landed on your page twice this week searching for completely unrelated items… Talk about weird….
Hey Charlie,
Excellent video and great ideas. Loved them all except the ppc part. I tried this a couple different times and got burned hard. Otherwise I will be implementing the other ideas. Have already started a couple and so far, WOW!
Will soon be able to buy your DOE. Look forward to working with you a lot.
Thank you so much for all you are doing.
God Bless
Enjoyed the video Charlie. I’m new to this computer stuff, but will be checking out some of your suggestions. I just signed up with the Warrior Forum, I’m checking it out now. Enjoy all your videos.
I really, appreciate your videos.
Thank you so much.
Hi Charlie, very good as usual. So informative. I guess I will start with PPC to advertise…what else..the DOE!
For those who may not have seen it, or for those who may have forgotten, one can learn so much about PPC Ads here. http://charliepage.com/how-to-write-a-great-pay-per-click-ad This is just another thing I really like about your site, if it’s something that has not already been featured, we can go to you for help. What more can one ask for?
Thanks again.
Hey Charlie
Talking sense once again. I will be phoning you very soon about a few ideas which I have.
Speak soon.
Giorgio
DOE Member
Hi Charlie,
Thanks for the insight on those methods. I’m in that ‘limited’ category at this point and those were good reminders. I especially appreciated the PPC and Ezine article posting suggestions. I recently started posting articles to my blog and am going to look into posting articles on Ezines. Being a lifetime DOE member will make the task much easier.
Thanks again,
Mike
Thanks Charlie,
I make sure to watch all your videos. Just before I clicked on the link to watch your video, I had clicked on another video and I have to say the contrast between your voice, which is calm, sincere and sounds like a “real teacher”, and the one who was “all but yelling”, bragging about himself, you know what I mean, was truly a stark contrast! I could listem to you all day long.
Also, thanks for the message about articles, I was starting, but now will get one done!
Lorna
HI Charlie,First,I wish to Thank You for everything you do for your Members!.I have not started making the big Bucks as of yet! that too; will also come in time.But more important. I have NEVER even considered trying to create an online business.and mostly because of my education level.BUT! With your SUPPORT,the benefits of being a Affiliate is invaluable. even DUMMIE’s can LEARN AND APPLY! and I will love to let everyone know that. how can i summit my article to you for review?
regards:kdowens64
Thanks!
Charlie loved the video, very informative and straight to the point. Very good.
Great Video Charlie,
These are wonderful videos and very helpful. I am a DOE member and I am using your information and website to help start my website.
Dave
Charlie,
I enjoy all of the videos you do. I joined the DOE several weeks ago.
I have one question.
What products or programs were the ones that go you going?
I am still trying to figure out which programs to promote or affiliate products to sell.
I definitely enjoy the way you present everything without the loud hype.
Have a Great Day!
George,
Great question. I like promoting things people will use over a long period of time and are proven effective. If they offer residual income so much the better. I promoted Aweber, Hypertracker, hosting and several site building sites back when I started. And the DOE of course!
Charlie
Hi Charlie,
Thanks for the video, I keep seeing your Directory of Ezines different places I go looking for information. I guess I am going to have to sign up for it to find out what it is all about. I have been on your list for a while now, and I have to say you have some pretty good content you send out. So I am going to try it, thanks for your valuable content you send out.
Thanks,
Michael
Charlie,
I have read “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, and I can see how you are helping so many people. I have been in MLM for a while and love to help people, so when I came across your page it was a fresh air to the things that are out there, You are truly helping others thanks.
Raymond
Charlie,
I loved your video! Thank you for teaching the basics while motivating and encouraging the beginner. This is exciting, and your own story is inspiring.
Dear Charlie:
Have been following you now for a few days and I feel I have learned a few things already. I am in a unique situation where I am not able to find a job yet I do have a few dollars to invest in online business. I do not want to be foolish but it seems I am backed in a corner and have to do something. I believe my story is similar to yours. To be truthful I would be taking a risk if I tried to find a job and the last one I had only paid about $8.00 an hour. So you see if I could just learn how I could make some money online in about a month or so. I could do o.k.
Charlie,
Another great video. I have personally used Article Marketing for a little while now and it really works! Love the guidance and the videos. Keep them coming!
Take Care,
Tom
Hi Charlie,
I just found your blog and watched your video. I have just created my first real product and I will be using your techniques to try and get my site seen. If you don’t mind, I would love to send you an email, and “pick your brain” about some trouble I’m having. I would also like you to take a look at my site and let me know what you think.
If this would be ok, would you please send me an email and let me know. I don’t want to impose.
Have a great weekend.
Lavonda
I would be happy to visit with you. Just use the “Ask Charlie” link at the top of this page to ask me a question directly.
Charlie
Hi Charlie,
This is the first video I have seen of your and I found it very insightful. I can relate to your story and you also reminded me of a staple of advertising: Spread it out across several different medias.
Looking forward to more from you
Pat
Hi Charlie,
Again a fantastic video with real life information, not just some hype. I love being a member of the DOE, the resources are just so useful, to the point and of real value. Please keep up your work Charlie, I don’t know anyone out there that is as committed as you are to us “newbies”.
Marcel
Charlie,
I appreciate your information very much Charlie. You are one of the people online that I trust. I think that is a reflection of your character. Your information is always presented in a very simple, easy to understand way. I got motivated to write an aweber article.
Keep up the good work,
John Powell
Hey Charlie-
Thanks for the video. Have been researching DOE for awhile now, and am putting a plan in place. I believe the internet is one of the last frontier’s as far as a global reach to accumulate wealth. It is nice to know that there are others who have their own stories but are traveling a similar path. And for those that keep at it, will eventually “Crack the code”, and then we can say that it was worth it! All those painful lessons along the way only serve to make us stronger and wiser. Good luck to all!
Michael
Charlie-
Your content and life story is awesome. thank you for everything you add to the community. This slide show is so simple yet so precise. It’s amazing how many new marketers don’t learn or know at least one method of generating leads. Once you get at least one method and one lead. you can progress from there.

Oh, this post shows great insight, I think you should write more about this topic.
Ha, just joking with you. But seriously, your videos and other information show us the truly what Zig Ziglar meant when he said, “you can only get what you want if you can help enough other people get what they want.” or something like that.
Hi Charlie;
I really enjoyed the video.Thanks for the helpful tips.
Keep up the good work.
Ralph.

Charlie,
I have started to lurk on the Warrior Forum. Pretty amazing group there so far. I must say though that the high point of this training was the part about “useful but incomplete.” I have been writing the entire article so far and have seen limited results. I now understand why.
Thanks for your training,
scott…
Hi Charlie,
I think this may be my first post, but I’ve been a member or your programs for a while now and LTM of DOE for a few months. I really appreciate your informative emails and videos. I must say that I haven’t yet fully utilized DOE because I’m not quite sure where to start. I appreciate this video and ideas you gave on how to get going with a limited budget.
I hope to use DOE more in the very near near future and take advantage of one of your free counseling calls.
Regards,
Preston
Preston,
I wrote a Quick Start Guide when DOE 2.0 opened that will help you get started quickly and easily with DOE. We do offer a lot, which can be a mixed blessing. That’s why I wrote the guide. It offers a very clear step-by-step path to using the DOE from day 1 forward.
Just log in and you will find the Quick Start Guide on the member home page you see in DOE 2.0.
Thanks for being a member!
Charlie
Charlie – Great video. I must get 200 emails everyday from online marketers trying to sell me thier products. Most of them I just delete,l except yours. All of the messages above say it right – you are honest and trustworthy. I do enjoy your thoughts and guidance.
Tim
You know, it?s much easier to build good relationships, build evangelists and have them help you market/sell your product/service! Sure it might require that you give a lot of yourself (and knowledge) over and over again and often times for free? But when they evangelize, boy do they evangelize and refer people to you almost without even thinking about it! And that?s?well, that?s just magic.
Charlie Page and Perry Marshall are the only honest ones I can find.
Unfortunately, I got scammed by some crooks for 2k and now I have to shut up shop because I have no money left for advertising. These so called mentors whose biz name starts with an ‘R’ and ends in an ‘S’ lied to me to get my money because they told me all I would need to pay is hosting and domain name fees. You need at least 2k to get the ball rolling and maybe 10 hours a day, 6 days a week at the computer for the rest of your life. I should have listened to Charlie first.
Hi Charlie,
I’m always appreciative of the to-the-pont, honest, and not-too-long videos you give out for free. Truly an embodiment of the concept of attraction marketing and giving away value. I appreciate your thought about PPC… I hate running PPC campaigns because of the time required to properly test, maintain and tweak over time, but you’ve reminded me of why it is a good way to go. You’re right that many, many people overlook ezine articles.. myself included. Time to rectify that. Many thanks, Anastasia
Hi Charlie,
Tina Turner coined a phrase in a song that aptly describes you
in a market full of hype and cons.
‘You’re simply the best…better than all the rest”!!
Thanks for all that you do. I hope to one day help people and make money at the same time like you do.
God Bless You Charlie.
Thanks for writing. I look forward to working with you.
Charlie
Charlie, I love the way you tell it like it is…About the part where you said to some people, you need a job to make the money to then advertise…That’s keeping it real and anti hype…I enjoy your videos because you have a great way of presenting your ideas to your readers…I’m a pretty accomplished online marketer and have ben for years now, but I still enjoy hearing what you’ve you got to say…
Hi Charlie,
Thanks for another great video. I really appreciate the information you keep getting out to everybody. I am looking forward to being a lifetime member, well, for a lifetime! Thanks again.
Hello Charlie,
Thank you, that was some great information. I really do like the kind of information you put out, it makes a lot of sense and is very useful. Thank you again.
Hi Charlie,
Thanks for an informative video. I feel like I am on the verge of a breakthrough finally. For so long I was trapped in information overload and procrastination held me back, too. No more. I am taking action now! I look forward to paying it forward as you have done.
Hi Charlie: I enjoyed your video. I am one of the millions of wounded neworkers who have tried dozens of those “Even my eight year old daughter can do this” programs, got buried in an avalanche of even greater offers from the same source while I was still trying to figure out the first one, dropped it and moved on to another one. After years of failing I have come to understand “The fortune is in the list” Don’t worry whether or not anyone makes money with any particular program just keep pumping out great offers to a huge list – enough suckers will buy. I am standing at the crossroad. Give my lap top away or try one more time. With what?
Russ,
While I do not share your sentiment about “pumping out offers” and “enough suckers will buy” I do agree that the list is the primary thing online. The fortune is indeed in the follow up, which is why I created http://www.followupsellingsystems.com
Don’t throw out the laptop – focus on one thing (one product, one marketing method) and do only that for 30 days. Only then will you be able to evaluate results.
I wish you the best,
Charlie
Hi Charlie,
I realy appreciate all the help you have just given me in this video.
I need to learn so much that I get bigged down trying to keep it in my head. I have been blessed by your videos every time I get to watch them and all the other training and help you offer for free.
Thank you.
Linda Hurst-Strayhorn
Good short video. You’re right I think it was Jimmy Brown who coined that phrase.
Another great way to write an article is to headline it as “five tips” and only list three.
You got to sell the click. Keep up the good work Charlie!
Charlie, You quoted my story almost word for word, up until you got to the I made a lot of money part.
I appreciate the advice and will apply it as I am able to.
By the way, I do intend to complete my story in the same way you have.
Thx.Al.
Hi Charlie, thank you for another great video! I’ve been a member of the DOE for several years and I love it! I always go to the Directory of Ezines to find a good place to advertise whatever it is I am promoting.
I am just learning to do some social networking so I especially liked what you had to say about that.
Thanks Again!
I liked the honest advice- “Don’t try to do things online with zero dollars”
After watching your video, I am now motivated to do PPC advertising(that I was putting off)
Great insight about WarriorForum. Thanks for providing great Value.
Thank you Charlie for another great video. I’ve become very enthusiastic about social media marketing. You have just affirmed me enthusiasm since I am one on a limited budget. I have not delved into article writing as yet, but will follow your advice and get started. Thanks again for your support.
Hi Charlie,
Just started listening to your audios, and would like to say they are fantastic.
By that I mean the content is very useful, the clarity of the audios, second to none, and most of all, not too long, very concise.Will definitely continue listening, and can’t wait to start working with you in person.Signed up for your consulting offer a few days ago, so speak soon.
Sincerely
Nigel James
