[To Blog Main]
When the animal called 'Internet' was still a small child, and most in the farthest of their imagination didn't think it more than a blip, there were guys who thought otherwise. In their individual capacity, they sensed opportunity and lost no time to start experimenting with Internet as a marketing medium.
As later events proved, the early birds picked the most worms, which meant they could amass huge wealth in amazingly short time. I've been reading the Dale King article, The 10 Most Influential Internet Marketers, in which he gives a list of 10 such people and explains why he feels they are really great.
The wave of Internet reached other shores after a time lag of 3-4 years, by which time the people Dale mentions had already become legends of sorts. To be true, these Internet marketers not only enriched themselves in terms of fame and money, but also showed the path for others to emulate and succeed.
Dr. Ken Evoy readily comes to my mind because I use his package, but truth be told, his SBI!-package (Site Build It!) has all the ingredients to be successful in Internet marketing. True, the field is crowded with intense competition, yet the fact remains that with focused approach and careful planning it is possible to script a success story. And to do that SBI! is clearly a big help.
Coming to Dale's article, here are his picks of 10 most influential Internet marketers. Instead of attempting my own tale which in most cases I'm not adept at, I've excerpted from Dale's article (my thanks in advance, Dale).
1
Jay Abraham
Jay has identified the patterns that limit and restrict business growth. He's one of only a very few people who realize that most industries only know and use one particular marketing approach - even though there may be dozens of more effective and profitable strategies and options available to them.
As the founder and CEO of Abraham Group, Inc. in Los Angeles, California, Jay has spent the last 25 years solving problems and significantly increasing the bottom lines of over 10,000 clients in more than 400 industries worldwide.

Mark Joyner
Mark Joyner is a #1 best-selling author of over a dozen books translated in almost as many languages. He is widely recognized as one of the early pioneers of e-commerce, responsible for inventing, pioneering, and popularizing many of the technologies we take for granted today (including remotely-hosted ad tracking, electronic books, Integration Marketing, and more..)
One of his books (MindControlMarketing.com, now Mark Joyner's Blog) shot to #1 within 36 hours of its release. And a website of his became the 37th most visited on the planet within 6 weeks of its release.

Dan Kennedy
Dan Kennedy moves with remarkable ease from one very different field to another, working with clients in 62 different businesses, industries and professions, earning as much as $250,000.00 in a single month providing unusual direct-response advertising and direct marketing advice, strategy, copywriting and marketing materials, video production and infomercials, and profit improvement systems.
Entrepreneur Magazine says that Dan Kennedy has "at least 101 moneymaking ideas for any business owner."

Joe Vitale
Founder & President of Hypnotic Marketing, Inc., Joe Vitale's most recent book, co-authored with Jo Han Mok, is The E-Code: 47 Secrets for Making Money Online Almost Instantly. His next book: Meet and Grow Rich! He also wrote The AMA Complete Guide to Small Business Advertising for the American Marketing Association.
Joe's recent software program, Hypnotic Writing Wizard, is to help anyone write better sales letters, articles, news releases, speeches and even entire books. He is one of the five top marketing specialists in the world today, and the world's first hypnotic writer.

Dr. Jeffrey Lant
In 1993, when the new technology of Internet opened up the possibility of staying at home and helping people worldwide at little or no expense, he founded Worldprofit Inc., a company that helps business people worldwide, and people who want to enter and profit from new markets across the universe for their products and services.
Dr. Lant, who was an internationally-acclaimed syndicated columnist before Internet came into being, still publishes articles like he's been doing for over 50 years, helping business people worldwide understand how the Internet can benefit them.

Marlon Sanders
Marlon Sanders, CEO of Higher Response Marketing, Inc. is a prolific Internet marketer, with a dozen Internet marketing products and services to his name. He has spoken at over 120, $3,000 one-day marketing seminars and commands $1000 an hour for consulting. His reseller program for 'The Amazing Formula' is one of the top-ranked systems on the Internet.

Corey Rudl (1970-2005)
Corey Rudl was an American marketing strategist, and founder and President of the Internet Marketing Center. He was also an author, speaker, and software producer. His 2-volume book, The Insider Secrets To Marketing Your Business On The Internet, was highly popular.
Responding to demand for his advice, Corey founded the Internet Marketing Center, where he taught techniques and strategies that stemmed from his own experience. His Internet marketing guide is sometimes described as the "Internet Marketing Bible".
Corey expired on June 2, 2005 when the Porsche racing car he was riding in met with an accident.

Joe Robson
Owned by him, Joe Robson is responsible for the overall Promotion and Marketing of The Newbie Club, and is deeply involved with his team of Techies, Writers, and Designers on several unique and groundbreaking Newbie Club Products and Services.
Joe is widely acknowledged by many Internet Marketers as one of the Internet's top Sales Copywriters, and his Copywriting Solutions Website is one of the most respected Web Copywriting Tutorial Websites on the Net. He co-authored the Internet copywriting blockbuster, 'Make Your Words SELL!' - MYWS along with Ken Evoy of MYSS fame.

Dr. Ken Evoy
I've mentioned about him above. A successful entrepreneur, Dr. Ken Evoy has designed over 23 products that have sold internationally, generating 100's of millions of dollars in revenues for various companies. He also developed several software products including one for the stock market sector.
Dr. Evoy's business philosophy is to offer the absolute best tools and information available on the market in the most accessible format and at the most affordable price. It is with this in mind that SiteSell has developed its breakthrough website building, hosting, e-marketing solution that delivers real traffic and guaranteed results to novices and savvy pros alike. No wonder I'm a great fan of SBI!.
