The answer might be to purchase the 26 Week Marketing Plan.

This product is comes from Purple Internet Marketing. The guys involved were once making a living in search engine optimization so they know a great deal about that side of the business. They've now chosen to compile all of that knowledge and experience into a course that will help you start your marketing efforts effectively.

First, let's talk about what the 26 Week Marketing Plan includes. With your purchase, you receive four workbooks and DVDs, eight CD's, a poster, and a T-shirt. That's quite a bit of material to organization which is why the entire plan is structured for you. The materials are clearly labeled for ?Week One,? ?Week Two,? etc. That can be particularly helpful so you don't end up getting overwhelmed.

Second, we need to discuss the quality of the information you're getting. The DVDs include footage of David Bain, one of the minds behind Purple Internet Marketing, giving presentations on this subject. Seven of the CD's include interviews with some of the biggest names in internet marketing, including Shawn Collins discussing affiliate marketing and Yaro Starak talking about using blogs as a form of online marketing.

The information provided is most top-notch. While it's true that most of the same information can be found for free on the Internet, if you're trying to start your Internet business you don't have time to devote hours a day to scanning web sites for information. Everything you really need to get started is included in this package.

Plus, the content is arranged to be convenient for you to use. For example, the 8th CD includes all of the other interviews in MP3 format so you can listen to them on your favorite personal music player while you're on the subway, in the car, or going for a job.

You also receive a PDF transcript of each interview so you can easily access the material again. This is a nice touch that shows the 26 Week Marketing Plan was compiled by people who understand what you're going through and what you need the most.

Of course, nothing is perfect. At times during the DVD presentation, David does inadvertently use some industry jargon that might not recognizable to some of us without his background in search engine optimization.

Also, some other industry users have expressed disappointment that the workbooks aren't more unique from the DVDs in terms of content. That can also be an advantage, however, if you don't have the time to sit in front of the television and watch the entire live seminar.

The bottom line is that the 26 Week Marketing Plan's advantages vastly outweigh its flaws. If you're new to Internet marketing and want to get started on the right foot, this is a purchase worth considering.
