INTERNET SALES is a professional-to-professional moderated newsgroup, published only in digest form, dedicated to selling on the 'net -- but not MLM or spamming. This is about serious, professional, big-scale marketing, the way it is done by serious companies run by serious people with serious goals.
Moderator John Audette is president of Multimedia Marketing Group, one of the World Wide Web's most respected marketing and public relations agencies. When he speaks, people who earn their living on the Internet listen. Like, they press the "mute" button on their TV or stereo remotes and pay full attention to him.
This is not a new list. It has been around since 1994. And it is not small. It claims over 11,000 members in over 70 countries, and from the quality of posts seen on the list, most of them are tops in their field.
Advice: if you're new to Internet marketing or even still learning, treat INTERNET SALES as if it was a read-only publication. Subscribe to it. Listen to what others (including Audette) have to say. But don't speak up. Just sit there and soak in the accumulated wisdom represented in the few posts chosen to appear. A few months of reading this carefully edited, totally on topic, highly informative list can give you more education in online marketing than $5,000 worth of college classes.
More advice: marketing profs may want to recommend subscriptions to INTERNET SALES to their students. It would certainly make an excellent springboard for classroom discussion of "real world" online marketing techniques.
