In a nutshell, here’s what you must make sure to comply with -
1. 1 click unsubscribe mandatory.
2. The actual sender must be the entity identified in the from line. Affiliates must not send commercial emails as if they were the company they are affiliated with.
3. Contact requirements are relaxed to allow a valid P.O. Box or PMB at a private store.
4. A "person" can now be defined as an organization, which brings non-profits into mandatory compliance.
5. Incentivized or induced tell-a-friend scripts must comply with Can-Spam rules. Email this to a friend links that are not incentivized or induced don’t have to comply.
That’s it in a nutshell. You can get more info here:

After one of my webhosting companies decided to change its plans (and raise its price), and the fact that they didn’t respond to my messages, I had purchased a hosting account from another company, recommended to me by a fellow marketer. The transfer itself happened smoother than ever - I should have known it was too good to be true…
24 hours later, my pages were gone… This morning - after 3 days of not knowing what had happened - there was a message in my mailbox telling me that the server had crashed and that everything was gone (including their own data).

If you search this blog, you will find I’ve had my share of hosting trouble. In three years time, I’ve experienced 4 or 5 server crashes, I’ve had 2 hosting accounts that simply disappeared (???), my account has been unrightfully suspended at least 5 times and at one time, my IP got blocked by the server firewall (or something like that) and it took my webhost 2 months to figure out what the problem was…
Today, I accidently bumped into a site of a fellow Belgian marketer. Since there aren’t many Belgians around in IM, I was curious and gave the site some extra attention.
I’m glad I did, ‘cos what I discovered was a new form of social networking: ‘Automated Social Networking‘.
The concept is simple: At the site - Scoutle - you can create a ‘Scout’ that will walk all over the Internet for you, searching and indexing interesting websites while at the same time promoting your own website(s). In order to make your Scout walk, you place a small Stage on your own site. This Stage will be used by Scouts of other users that will not only discover your website but will also recommend it to others. The only thing you have to do is every now and then login to Scoutle and see the results.
Just today my hubbie managed to make a couple of great sales on eBay (He has a pretty successful biz selling 70’s wrist watches - you just can’t imagine how much money people are willing to spend on a watch ). This made I didn’t have to worry about the money, so I decided to go for it! Once I had made my decision, I spent about an hour going through my mailbox to find out who was offering the best bonus package. I was as exited as a kid on its first day of school…
When I finally made up my mind about the bonus package, I rushed over to the SCG6 site and clicked the order link…
… only to find out Jeremy accepts nothing but credit card payments. Noooooo!!
I must admit, I hardly find the time to go through the many gifts lists lately. Quite often it happens that a giveaway passes while I only had time for a quick glance at the contributed products.
But not today!
Today, I allowed (forced??) myself to put aside the projects I’m working on and I took some time off to check out Guido Nussbaum’s new Profit Work From Home site.
PWFH is not just another JV Giveaway event…, it’s so much more than that!
Next to the regular gifts list, you also get access to loads of marketing articles, written by some of the biggest names in the IM World, ánd there are a number of video’s to watch.
If you are a bit like me, you are always looking for new and interesting products to use or re-sell.
I think you will agree, this search can cost quite a lot of mo.ney. But not anymore…
Ever since I joined the Crazy Membership site, I was able to cut down my spendings significantly.
For a very small monthly fee, I have access to loads of brand new products, all with MRR or PLR.
If I had to buy all the available products separately, I would have to pay at least 10 times more than what I’m charged for my Crazy Membership…
Joining the site, was one of the best decisions I made this year.

After re-designing The JV Giveaways Directory, I was looking for a way to add an RSS feed to the page. Mostly because this would help me avoid having to log in to Aweber to send out a message every time I added a new event. Google to the rescue. ;o) A short search taught me there are many step-by-step tutorials on how to create a feed for your page online. Going through the list, I found out I had to edit the code for every single link on the page. Wow, that would take ages… But then I bumped into
Feed43 is a free service that allows you to build a feed for ANY page on the web, without having to make any changes to the source code. Just what I was looking for!
A couple of days ago I received a message from fellow marketer Tom The Toolman about his site being unrightfully flagged by the Yahoo Saerch engine. This is a real bummer and has probably costed him thousands of dollars over the last couple of months.
When he wrote yahoo to get more info about the issue, they told him they base their decision on info they get from McAfee, and that any decision is final. McAfee and Yahoo are of course are blaming it on one another, write yahoo they say you have top talk to McAfee, write McAfee and they tell you to contact Yahoo… It’s the classic circle jerk…
Now he’s asked to let everyone know what yahoo is doing so they can avoid this pitfall…
This short video will explain everything to you and now you can hopefully prevent this from happening to you or anyone else you may know…

If you could see inside your hard drive, what would it look like?
This is what mine used to look like:
But that was a long time go…
I think it must have been the very first product I was a beta-tester for… and there couldn’t have been a better one to choose. IM-Index, the ultimate organizing tool for internet marketers!
Sigh…. I don’t know how I would have survived without it.

And if you are new to the game, the IM Index will provide you with not only a map of where to save all your files on your hard drive, but an entire blueprint of how to get started. .
