			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><a href="http://www.strategicprofits.com/blog/billy-mays-marketing-magic/"><span class="zem_slink">Billy Mays</span></a>: An Icon in Direct Television Marketing Dies at 50</h2>
<p>Today, at the age of 50, the As Seen on TV and Pitchman Superstar spokes person, <a href="http://www.strategicprofits.com/blog/billy-mays-marketing-magic/">Billy Mays</a> was found dead in his home. This is the man that was responsible for me buying buckets of Oxi Clean and a ton of steak knives.</p>
<p>More importantly, although many may not realize, Billy Mays is responsible for much of the video marketing that goes on today, where internet marketers consistently do product presentations on all of your favorite video sharing networks.</p>
<p>Yesterday, a US Airways Flight had landed in quite a traumatic way, when the front landing gear tire basically went flat. Many of the passengers were tossled about and alot of stuff dropped on their heads. Mays complained late yesterday evening, to his wife, that he wasn&#8217;t feeling well. He was one of the passengers that had endured head injuries on that flight.</p>
<p>This morning, at 7:45 EST Mays was found dead in his home.</p>
<p>A few weeks ago, a martial arts icon of mine, <a class="zem_slink" title="David Carradine" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carradine">David Carradine</a> was found dead in his apartment. Thursday, my childhood crush <a class="zem_slink" title="Farrah Fawcett" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrah_Fawcett">Farrah Fawcett</a> lost her long battle with cancer. On that same day, at the age of 50, the man who inspired me to break into the music industry at a young age, <a class="zem_slink" title="Michael Jackson" rel="homepage" href="http://www.michaeljackson.com">Michael Jackson</a> suffered an untimely death. Now, today&#8230; I morn the loss of a man who inspired me to focus on using video for marketing online&#8230; in order to add entertainment to the dry world of marketing and selling.</p>
<p>This has been a roller coaster month of emotion for many industries and for the loss of so many unique icons in my life.</p>

<p>My sincerest apologies for being so behind on this. There are many things that I teach in the WEST program, one of which is NOT Direct Response Marketing. Imagine you are stuck on a deserted island and you have absolutely no way to get off that island unless you make $1ok NOW!</p>
<p>Well.. a good friend of mine, Alan is doing that because of a dumb bet that he made with another friend of mine, Erik.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the thing, all hype aside, these guys just opened the doors to something so big&#8230; I bought it before I even decided to tell you about it! Buy is a big word&#8230; I paid for shipping&#8230; that&#8217;s it up front!</p>
<p>Wanna grow your business like I am doing for WEST and eWeb? Take a look and know that some of the biggest IM guys in the industry just sent a few thousand people to this&#8230; <a href="http://www.directresponse20.com/a/go?a=493&amp;l=1">click here now!</a></p>
