Tap Into The Great Minds of Online Marketing

Scottsdale, AZ, September 20, 2005 --(PR.com)-- In spite of $5.5 billion in e-commerce sales before the millennium, an increase of 500 percent in online stores, and projections of $40 billion in online sales during the next five years, e-commerce remains confusing and frustrating for many entrepreneurs and small business owners. While some have found online marketing success, many fail to achieve sales and end up going out of business.

Because the average person is exposed to more than 3,500 marketing messages a day, it is clear that success in sales requires business owners to implement innovative strategies that connect consumers to their marketing message. Creating an online presence is one of the solutions, and Mitch Meyerson’s new book, Success Secrets of the Online Marketing Superstars, takes the guesswork out of the challenge.

Author and CEO Mitch Meyerson has been a winner with online marketing through a variety of ventures, including his company Guerrilla Marketing Coach.

In his book, Success Secrets of the Online Marketing Superstars ($22.95, Dearborn Trade Publishing, July 2005), Meyerson has compiled the advice of the top marketers in the history of the internet to help other business owners and entrepreneurs learn how to leverage this important marketing tool.

• The Essential elements of a profit producing web site
• How to use pay per click advertising to maximum effect
• The role of affiliate programs in driving traffic and sales
• What you need to know about the perils and pitfalls of internet marketing
