Web Marketing Strategy Update

DealDotCom is a new site from Jason Potash & Marc Quarles offering big discounts on the best Internet Marketing products, using a “deal a day” format.

From the site:

“DealDotCom is the place on the web to find all the Internet Marketing products you really want for rock bottom prices. We sell products and services that help save you time and money when it comes to running your online business.”

Unfortunately, there’s no prior notification of which product will be on sale when, nor how much you’ll save. So you have to visit the site regularly — well, daily really — to be sure you don’t miss out getting something you really wanted for a lot less than normal.

Sounds very promising though, and of course you can just bookmark it.

DealDotCom Affiliate Program

There’s also an attractive 3-tier affiliate program, that pays you commissions for life on purchases made by anyone you refer. You also get a commission on sales generated by people introduced by anyone you refer.

As Jason and Marc say on the site, this could bring you some healthy commission checks and a nice passive, residual income.

As I mentioned at the end of my previous post, [Google & Sun Microsystems Cross-Promotional Partnership->], there are now several web-based competitors to Microsoft Office applications.

One I’ve been hearing quite lot about recently is ThinkFree Online.

ThinkFree Office is a platform independent suite of Microsoft Office compatible-applications in Java, similar to Sun’s OpenOffice.

The software is designed to look, feel and behave like Microsoft Office, but unlike OpenOffice, it’s not free. It’s much cheaper than Microsoft Office though, and can be hosted on intranets, where the software is launched from the server to the user’s desktop via a web browser.

With ThinkFree Online, ThinkFree have taken this idea a step further and now offer a free web-based version of ThinkFree Office.

According to the site, users are able to access:

• Write, ThinkFree’s word processing application, which uses Microsoft Word’s .doc file format. Write has most of Word’s features, and even retains the user interface that Word users are comfortable with.
• Show, a powerful application for creating presentations that is highly compatible with Microsoft Powerpoint. Powerpoint users will feel right at home with Show’s robust feature set, which includes graphical tools, dozens of animations and transitions, and of course use of the .ppt file format.
