Default A PROVEN technique to create a PROFITABLE online business....

Here's something you may recognize from something Jim Straw wrote....

A catalog/mail order approach goes well with a web business!

Read what Jim said earlier here....

In a few short months he was making profits online....

And when Jim talks, I listen! He gives it to you straight, and I appreciate that.... :)

And now, here's a further confirmation of this principle....

The web is just full of multi-billion dollar companies that can't turn a profit.... But when Guitar Center -- a music retailer -- decided to go online, they tried to think of a good strategy to make profits....

They didn't want to sink their money into a black hole, the way many others have done. Then they came across Musician's Friend, a 20-year-old music catalog company up for sale.... They reasoned that they could use this catalog expertise....

So they bought Musician's Friend, then treated their online web site as an extension of catalog sales.... The result?

Its first year turned a profit! Something that's eluded so many companies online....

This is a second justification of Jim Straw's strategy.... I'm sure Guitar Center came to it independently, but it proves it works....

It's important food for thought!

While you might not be able to buy a catalog company, you can use the principle talked about here and apply it to your own online activities, of combining a catalog with a web site....

Default The principles always work ...

As my Daddy used to say ...

"There ain't any SECRETS in this old world ... just things you don't happen to know right now."

Jim, that's great wisdom... :)

As you may know, I recently ordered your report... "Exactly How You Can Make a Fortune Just Snooping Around!"

That title really intrigued me! And your write-up too....

I had ordered your mailorder report before that, and it was great! So I figured I'd see what else you had to offer....

Well, Jim, I have to say I was amazed! You really delivered the goods.... :)

Thanks....

Now, I know to some this will sound like an advertisement, but I get nothing from saying this.... I was truly impressed by the info Jim gave...

I just thought I'd let you know. :)

I'm truly amazed at how many opportunities are really all around us....

Default Thank you ...

Dien:

Thank you for the kind remarks.

The BIG difference between me and many of my contemporaries is that I have never written about anything unless I have a personal, hands-on experience with the subject matter.

Again, Thank You,

Jim
