Dear Marketer:

It sounds amazing, but it’s absolutely true.

Steve, a former high school science teacher, loved to dazzle his class with cool and unusual science experiments.

One of his favorite experiments was to drop a couple of Mentos candies into a 2-liter bottle of Diet Coke.

Almost immediately, the soda in the bottle would erupt with a spectacular geyser – like Old Faithful blowing its top in Yellowstone National Park.

But then Steve got a semi-brilliant idea.

Instead of just showing this neat experiment to a class of 30 students once a year, why not show it to millions of people on the Internet?

He posted streaming video of this seemingly trivial little demonstration on his blog.

And the rest is history: the candy-in-the-soda "volcano" became one of the most downloaded videos on the Internet.

It made Steve an overnight media sensation.

More important, it publicized – and drew a flood of traffic – to a little Web site where he sells products for science buffs.

Now, he is semi-famous.

His Internet business is booming ... and making him richer with each passing day.

All without paying an ad agency to film a TV commercial -- or spending thousands of dollars on media advertising, banner ads, pay per click, and other traditional marketing.

But Steve isn’t the only Internet marketer getting big-time results from blogs, Webcasts, and other social networking sites.

And now, you can, too...

The next big thing in Internet marketing is social networking

Unless you are living in a cave, you can’t help notice the money being made from social networking sites.

These include online communities like MySpace ... free online image-sharing sites like Flicker and YouTube ... virtual communities like Second Life ... and sites that invite user-generated content like blogs and forums:

• According to Jupiter Research, end-user-generated revenues from social networking, dating, and content delivery sites will rise from $527 million in 2007 to $5.7 billion by 2012.
• In a recent month, 114 million people worldwide visited MySpace -- a 72% increase over a year ago. That same month, 52.2 million Internet users visited Facebook.
• eMarketer reports that $900 million spent in the United States on social network advertising in 2007 ... and will nearly triple to $2.5 billion by 2011.
• The founders of Flicker, a Web site for exchanging photos, sold their site to Yahoo – for a cool $30 million.
• Web sites like Flickr and YouTube now account for 12% of all Web traffic – a jump of over 686% from just 2 years ago.
• Media mogul Rupert Murdoch paid $580 million to buy the well-trafficked Myspace.com online community from its founders.
• Google recently acquired YouTube, a consumer Web site for sharing original videos online, for $1.65 billion. {GP}

Like disco and aerobics in decades past, online social networking is the unstoppable juggernaut of trends in the 21st century.

Now, you and I can use the new phenomenon of online social networking to make our Internet businesses twice as profitable at half the cost of other marketing methods.

Can you really make millions on MySpace?

"OK, but what will it cost me?"

You could hire one an overpriced blogging expert or "new media" consultant to advise you on marketing with social networking.

But you’d pay thousands of dollars in consulting and writing fees – with absolutely no guarantee of results.

Interactive ad agencies cost even more. Most won’t help you with your online marketing unless you’re going to spend at least $100,000 a year with them.

And before you hire an online ad agency, talk to their clients ... and ask whether their ads actually made money. The answer may shock you.

But Social Networking 101 won’t cost you $100,000 ... or $1,000 ... or even $100.

Instead, the price is just $39 – less than I charge for just 5 minutes of my time!

And that’s only if Social Networking 101 generates a flood of new traffic to your Web sites.

If it doesn’t, then it won’t cost you a penny. Here’s why...
