This will help you understand WHY this resource is so incredibly valuable… The idea of this guide was actually born while I was helping to coordinate the production of the most respected Internet Marketing Seminar in the world. The ‘movers and shakers’ of the Internet participate every year on this seminar. Everyone who’s anyone in the Internet business could be found there. This was not your average seminar. Most of the people participating in this session were already running successful Internet based businesses and many of them are multi- millionaires on their own right. The organizer of this session is one of the most famous and successful businessman on the Internet today. Every year he goes out of his way to bring new speakers who are using the Internet in unbelievable ways to share their experiences. This year was no exception, the speakers were excellent! They revealed tools and strategies that literally blew my mind and will blow the mind of anyone that understands what these strategies can really mean to their personal or professional life.

Wait till you watch the FREE “Internet Tips” Videos www.amazinglyuseful.com/videos.html 7 © 2008 Trinity Publishing Amazingly Useful Websites by Ernesto Verdugo www.ernestoverdugo.com One aspect I really like about this seminar is that speakers compete for a price of $10,000.00 for whoever shares the best ideas, tools and resources. This of course motivates the speakers to really ‘spill the beans’ on their fabulous knowledge. As you can imagine, the competition for sharing great ideas is fierce and the know-how delivered by the speakers to the participants is simply amazing! At the end of this powerful weekend every person in the audience makes a ‘secret vote’ to decide who will be the winner of the $10,000.00, based on the strategies and tools they shared. This year, something really peculiar happened that made me realize that a guide like this was not available and it was critical for me to create it and offer it to everyone before anyone else did! Here’s what happened… A guy that was not even competing for the $10,000.00 delivered a bonus session on Saturday evening for some of the participants. After his presentation he received a standing ovation and people were literally “hanging on his lips”, listening to his e-v-e-r-y word! What was he saying, you might wonder? Well, he was actually sharing a number of Internet tools that were mostly FREE and incredibly useful. I have to admit, I knew already some of them but to most people they were completely unknown!!!

After his presentation, everyone was talking about how great and useful it was… The next day when the voting took place to see who will take home the $10,000.00, this speaker won by a landslide victory even though his name was not even in the ballots! After that landslide win, it suddenly dawned upon me that if these people being the “cream of the crop” of the Internet got SO EXCITED about these tools… the rest of the world would find these tools ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY! That’s exactly when I decided that I needed to write this guide! During the next 4 months following the seminar, my team and I researched the Internet NON-STOP and gathered the most amazing ‘list-of-lists’ of Internet Tools ever assembled and this is exactly how Amazingly Useful Websites was born and now you’re about to discover the amazingly useful resources you had no clue existed!

I had a Toshiba laptop and I logged in into a bulletin board trying to download some software upgrade. It was an interesting experience… I could not believe that I was actually connected to some sort of computer network; however I had no clue what I was doing and my experience ended up being only “interesting” but I was NEVER able to download the software upgrade and that left me a bit frustrated. (cid:1) After my first ‘online experience’, I simply thought I was not ‘geeky’ enough to benefit from what the online world had to offer. I’m sharing this anecdote with you, because I have a feeling that there are lots of people who still consciously or unconsciously have these exact thoughts when they go online nowadays. For most people the Internet is useful enough if they can send and receive email, browse for information on their favorite search engine, do their online banking or investing, book a cheap airline ticket or buy stuff on www.amazon.com. Perhaps some people are a bit more ‘geeky’ and know how to play online games, bid for stuff on www.ebay.com and watch videos on www.youtube.com. Maybe some go as far as knowing how to download music for their IPods on www.iTunes.com or even know how to secretly download those same songs or even movies for free from questionable sources. But that is it! That’s what the Internet represents for them. Like the Amazing Resources in this Guide?
