EXCELLENCE can be attained if you - CARE more than others think
is wise - RISK more than others think is safe - DREAM more than
others think is practical - and EXPECT more than others think is
possible.

For the past several weeks, I've been lambasting the lower class
of "internet marketers." If you're new and want to catch up,
you can visit the Trade Journal Archives at:
www.i-cop.org/journal/index.htm
Yes, I will tell you why. But, not yet.
I have returned to the very first email service I ever used.
Frankly, it was so long ago when I started using my own
software, I had forgotten about this company.
Luckily, I remembered. NOW, maybe I can spend my time doing
what I do best, rather than pulling my hair out over email
delivery every week. I'll leave it to the REAL pros!
BTW, the service is with Internet Tools, Inc. at
www.mail-list.com. Not only is Mark McCreary a TRUE
professional - with no internet marketing BS - his service will
cost you about 40% of what the others charge.

We are now into the Season of Giving and Good Will. No point in
saying “Peace on Earth,” because THAT ain't gonna happen
again this year. No matter your religion, you may be
celebrating holidays over the next month.
In honor of that, I'm going to get off my high horse at the
slimy types of “internet marketing” and give everyone a break.
But, ONLY until after the first of the year! Between now and
then, let's look at some positives.
Last week, two things happened that did my heart good and
restored some of my faith.
That didn't mean there was anything wrong with the product.
Appearances can be deceiving in both directions.
The advertiser, rather than having a hissy-fit at me, very
pleasantly and promptly removed a “capture” page (what I call a
“squeeze” page).
She also got busy and made every change I had asked for to make
the advertising better fit FTC regulations. I received no fuss,
no complaining; she just considered why things needed to be done
differently, and she did it!
That kind of cooperation and caring about ethical marketing has
become so rare it stuck out like a big sore thumb. And it
earned Judy Thompson a mention for her ad up here in my column.
You'll find the ad below with a headline that begins, “Super
Nutrition & Skin-Care Products ...”
Bruce Urlich is an iCop Member from New Zealand. He's the
Managing Director of Home Hotel Vacation Limited at
www.homehotel.biz
Bruce bought a copy of the ebook, “The iCop Training Manual.”
Then - and, I swear, I am NOT making this up - Bruce wrote and
asked my permission to share the ebook with his IT guy! He
wanted to use it as their “How to ...” book for his new web
site.
Can you believe that? Instead of simply doing as he pleased
with the ebook, Bruce actually ASKED before sharing it! Even
with an employee!
I might add here that I've seen this kind of super ethical
behavior in others I've known who live in New Zealand. Must be
something in their air. And, if it is, I sure wish we had some
of it up here in the USA!
In any event, all is not lost. As long as we have folks like
this working online, an example is set for others! And, I will
point them out every BIT as fast as I point out the pond scum.
I'd really appreciate it if you would help me build our
