In his latest issue of “Internet Marketing Secrets”, Michael Campbell indicates that the venerable old newsletter, where Michael has dispensed enough wisdom to launch a thousand newbies on the path to gurus, may soon close.
How typical of Michael that he puts the announcement near the end of the newsletter, after he’s given away more meaty content helping people brainstorm ideas for online business niches they can work in.
Here’s what he said…
“One More Quick Thing….
This newsletter is soon to be 10 years old. (That’s like 70 in internet years.) It’s had a good run, but after 150 issues, I’m thinking of retiring it.”
How about that? A decade of giving out free, quality advice… starting in 1998 or 1999, which is, like Michael says, the equivalent of 70 Internet years and WAY before most of today’s “gurus” had even heard of the Web.
Michael’s announcement introduces his Private Site where he’s going to create “an environment that’s free of hype and focuses on tested marketing strategies that are proven to work“.
While I’ll be sad to see the free Internet Marketing Secrets disappear, I will definitely be endorsing Michael’s private site. It’s the perfect time to launch a “hype free” member’s site, as the Internet marketing community drowns in an avalanche of offers, promos, hype and spam.
If you want to join Michael’s private site, get on the priority list because he’s capping membership at just 250 members. I’ve seen other private site’s cap at 1,000 members… so 250 is a small community and Michael will most likely hit the cap quickly.
Thanks for the heads up! I am going there right now.
10 years is a long time to be posting internet seo tips, and im sure it’s getting harder to come up with new things to talk about. I don’t blame him, but it will be sad to see him go.
Sorry to see Michael’s NL go. I didn’t read this until today, so I hope I’m not too late to get in on the private site.
for around ten years he’s been there, ten years is too long, long enough to guide all newbies in the business.. he’s a great man indeed but everything has an end.. but still his name will be remembered by the people whom he helped..

I just signed up for the priority list, as this guy sounds pretty good if he’s been around for 10 years. So far it appears to be free, so I figure why not?
Michaels newsletter was something that I looked forward to and it is a shame it has to end
All I can say is good luck in his new project
