Free education on any Internet Marketing topic

15 replies
Here's a simple tip that I'd like to share with you that may be of great worth, especially for those who are new to Internet marketing. (This may seem obvious to old-timers, but maybe not)

How would you like a library full of ideas, tips, strategies, best practices, guidelines and all kinds of help on every topic imaginable related to Internet marketing . . . on demand and at your fingertips at no cost?

Sounds great doesn't it? Here's how you do it.

Go to the Google home page and type in your desired subject in the search bar.

Add a space after the subject then type "filetype:pdf" (no quotes). Then search on that string.

That's all there is to it. Scroll through the pdfs that you'll find in the search results and pick and choose those that look helpful or interesting.

The reason this strategy works so well is the fact that PDFs tend to be less advertising biased and more content oriented. Yes, you'll still get a few ads but by and large these results will be educational and helpful materials.

Here are a few examples of some topics that you might want to try:

public domain filetype:pdf

copywriting filetype:pdf

membership sites filetype:pdf

print ads filetype:pdf

Don't knock it 'til you try it!

I hope you all have wild success in your marketing businesses.

Steve

    Steve,

    Great tip for newbies and not so newbies. I have been learning this business for 15 months now but never heard of this. Thanks for the tip.

      Jeff,

      I'm the same - we "not so newbies" still have a lot of helpful things to discover to make our online experience easier.

      Here's another Google "operator" that is very helpful that I had never heard about. It's called the "allintitle" operator.

      When you do a Google search, you can limit that search to just web pages that have your desired search phrase within the title.

      So, for instance, if you wanted to search for web pages about advertising your products in newsletters, you could search Google as follows:

      allintitle:"newsletter advertising"

      It can be very helpful indeed.

        Damn it, man, pull that curtain shut! You want everyone to know our secrets? j/k

        Another one that often works is filetype:doc, which brings up Word files, which many academics use. It does tend to work better on non-IM topics.

    Yeah this will also give you access to paid products that are not protected such as clickbank products. Not everything you find through the search engines are in the public domain.
