Internet marketer Mike Enlow ( http://www.enlowcircle.com/go/fullstory ) recently performed a bizarre experiment to prove how hard it really is to "make money on the internet".

Enlow said, "I've always said that if you don't do everything exactly right in your online sales campaign Noun 1. sales campaign - an advertising campaign intended to promote sales
ad blitz, ad campaign, advertising campaign - an organized program of advertisements

, you can't even sell hundred dollar bills, let alone a normal product. People don't seem to believe me, so I decided to put it to the test."

He tested it by putting up a web page offering free hundred dollar bills for several months to anyone who would pay the postage POSTAGE. The money charged by law for carrying letters, packets and documents by mail. By act of congress of March 3, 1851, Minot's Statute at Large, U. S. 587, it is enacted as follows:
     2.-Sec. 1.
 to have it mailed to them - without a single taker tak·er  
n.
One that takes or takes up something, such as a wager or purchase: There were no takers on the bets.


taker

2.

tr.v. sur·round·ed, sur·round·ing, sur·rounds

2. To enclose or confine on all sides so as to bar escape or outside communication.

n.
 the internet, which is causing unsuspecting entrepreneurs to spend their money on a mistaken "pipedream", instead of using the classic, proven marketing methods that can lead to success.

Mike is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of Internet Commerce, and he is now on a mission to correct the false beliefs that exist about the internet as a marketing medium.
