I just finished reading through Week 1 of the Shoemoney Internet Marketing Course. It was fairly basic, but a great guide for people new to Internet Marketing or curious about IM.
I won’t blather on and on about Shoe, his site or his business. He hasn’t reached “god” status in my book, HOWEVER, the guy definitely is smart and is sure doing something right. He’s arguably one of the most successful guys in the IM/MMO space, at least from a guru standpoint.
So for him to take time to put together a 12 week course that he’s giving away for free?! That’s doing our space a solid. Sure he’s after something and has a grander plan to take over the world using nothing but his 12 weeks of great content (assuming all 12 weeks are great), but still, this is one of the few times in the last year I’ve been offered free content without immediately being pushed into an upsell.
One of the things I’ve liked so far about the course is I only get one a week, rather than having an entire course to go through at my pace. Seems less overwhelming and more manageable to me. Also, the action plan at the end of each week’s course is worth going through even if you don’t read that week’s materials. Built in success by breaking the big task into smaller bite size chunks.
My advice, regardless of where you’re at or what you know about Making Money Online or Internet Marketing, is to sign up for Shoemoney’s course and consume the content for free. If nothing else, it’s a great reminder of the basics and even if your end game is not affiliate marketing millions, it should help you determine some effective strategies for marketing to your audience, even if that’s just through ads on your blog.

I just saved $999. Thanks.
Too much of a beginner to know much about him, but will give it a try.

Internet Marketing, also referred to as online marketing or Emarketing, is the marketing of products or services over the Internet. The Internet has brought many unique benefits to marketing including low costs in distributing information and media to a global audience. The interactive nature of Internet marketing, both in terms of instant response, and in eliciting response, are unique qualities of the medium.

I did. I have also been hit with a direct mail promo. So, that is his "what is in it for me?"

Love the look of your site – are you having fun with it? Keep up the good work and good luck with your site!
June 14th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Wow, cool site. Thanks for posting. Really like reading sites like this.
June 14th, 2009 at 6:43 am
Well you've convinced me to join the mailing list for it, even though like you say it may be geared towards newer beginners in internet marketing, you never know if maybe just one nugget of information might be of value to even the experienced internet marketer.

Uhh, you don't need to invest $1k to learn how to make money online. That money could be used towards more productive things, such as buying existing sites that already make money.
June 14th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
I am a rank beginner and I was looking for this exact information. Lucky for me I found your site at the beginning of my searching.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
I came across this when searching info on Google. I will use it to complete my report for this weekend, thanks for the info.
June 15th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
I had no idea. Amazing what you can learn by cruising the internet, reading about things that interest you. Thanks for posting about this.
June 16th, 2009 at 7:36 am
I had no idea this was going on. Thanks for letting us know.
June 16th, 2009 at 9:28 am
I think it is too risky to invest $1k to learn how to make money online. That money could be used towards more productive things, such as buying existing sites that already make money & also you need to learn some basic thing which you can automatically learn while working.

Shoe is quite a smart guy, yet I agree he hasn't reached Guru yet!
June 16th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Signed up. Not to be missed guys!
June 16th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
This is a great course. Signed up for it last week and it has already made a world of difference. I follow Shoe’s blog he is so smart. Definitely one of the top in the IM/MMO world

Very interesting article!
Thank you for posting!
June 19th, 2009 at 4:37 am
Well I’ll be danged, I never knew that!
June 21st, 2009 at 9:12 am
Haven't checked out this blog in a while!
How much does this course cost?
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:07 pm
A 12-week course for free!? Now, that's something nice! With all the tricks and scams these days of making money one way or another, it is nice to see someone giving away valuable information solely on his goodwill. Ofcourse I am sure he has something up his sleeve for long-run or grand scheme, but I guess take up the offer now before it is too late!
Thanks for this, I'll be sure to sign myself up – and hope I am not charged some way or another!
June 24th, 2009 at 3:01 am
Pretty nice post. I just came across your site and wanted to say
that I’ve really liked reading your blog posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you write again soon!
June 25th, 2009 at 3:06 am
I have completed the first two weeks of his course and even though it has been very basic so far, there has still been some good information and I look forward to the next 10 weeks.
June 25th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
The original plan was some kind of book deal, but ShoeMoney backed out of that one and decided to offer the internet marketing for beginners course for free. Well, it's not exactly free because you will need to subscribe to his list.
June 25th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
ShoeMoney is good at what he does. If you also want to earn an online income, then model what he is doing. I don't know how long he will keep his 12 week internet marketing course free,
June 25th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Really awesome article buddy! i completely agree with you i have already spent a lot of money
at google's adsense program and it give a lot in ROI. But if someone want to invest money on these
type of online programs he/she should have the basic knowledge of it…
June 26th, 2009 at 4:13 am
Loved your latest post, by the way.

Too bad he is a bit cocky, but with good reason. Too bad people are not more humble these days. Where have all the nice people gone, I think more people were raised in barns the past decade.
July 19th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Internet marketing…. is it still possible to make it big? Sometimes I have the impression that only a few made it, and they are banking on their success selling more and more expensive courses and getting more and more rich, while the average Joe struggles and keeps paying for their pricey courses…
July 20th, 2009 at 4:57 am
Great Article!
July 24th, 2009 at 5:31 am
i have also signed up earlier but still did not get any information on how to proceed, awaiting for some advice
July 31st, 2009 at 9:31 am
Great. It is always a good thing to read through the basics again. I often forget some of the basic marketing, and ideas that actually has worked in the past. Knowledge is power, escpecially when doing any form of online business.
August 21st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
"Shoemoney Internet Marketing" is a great guide for people new to Internet Marketing or curious
about IM.

Marketing is all about conversation. Conversing existing and potential client over the internet is called E-marketing. It requires no technical knowledge. It requires basic internet and HTML knowledge.
November 3rd, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Wow, looks like quite a comprehensive course. I'll try it. What an interesting name, Shoemoney
