Foreword

By Jay Conrad Levinson, author of the "Guerrilla Marketing" Series of Books


Babe Ruth, Joe Montana, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods. Clark Gable. Marilyn Monroe. These are superstars that are known to almost everybody in America.

Seth Godin, Corey Rudl, Robert Allen, Terry Dean, Declan Dunn. These are also superstars, but because they shine in cyberspace rather than from the cover of "People" magazine, they are unknown to almost everybody in America.
The contributions of the online marketing superstars are no less thrilling and impressive than those of the non-marketing superstars. They have blazed trails, set records, established new benchmarks, and most importantly, left a trail of wisdom that allow you to follow their steps to stardom.

Mitch Meyerson has captured lightning in a bottle by speaking extensively with these superstars and distilling the essence of their wisdom into the words that appear in the pages of this extraordinary book.

These are their words, their ideas, their experiences, their insights, their genius. These are their secrets, their advice, their observations. By learning them firsthand from the people who have talked the talk and walked the walk, you are able to act upon these ideas, then breathe life into them for your own business.

Because this book has been conceptualized, then created by Mitch Meyerson, Išm confident that youšll be captivated by his clarity of communication. As Paul McCartney would say, "Nobody does it better." This book exists not to raise questions but to answer them for you.

One of the more astonishing aspects of this book is that although it
contains actual interviews with actual superstars, all of them have achieved their stardom by taking different routes.

Some have built their empires on sales letters, others on e-zines, others on attracting traffic, and still others on converting leads into customers. This book does not focus on any one technique, but instead, delivers the goods on a plethora of techniques so that youšll be given a cornucopia of tactics to select from for your own business.

Many dotcoms that bit the dotdust would be rolling in dotclover if they had the benefit of the brilliance in this book before inaugurating their
ventures.

Each page of "Online Marketing Superstars" is teeming with mind-boggling revelations ­ directly from the superstars themselves ­ and in their own words. In my opinion, Mitch Meyerson is presenting you with the tickets to the goldmine. There are enough nuggets in these pages to fill your bank account to overflowing.

By interviewing the brightest stars in the galaxy we call cyberspace, Mitch Meyerson has made a timeless and major contribution to the body of online marketing knowledge.
