Best Holiday Gifts for Internet Marketers

Internet marketers are people whom many others are intrigued and sometimes, irritated by. Most successful internet marketers make more than enough to buy anything they want, so trying to get them something that will confound them is not a good plan. Competing in terms of money is never good anyway. However, there are a couple things that most marketers do care about - growing their income even more, and, their families (or at least they claim to). Try giving a gift this holiday that will touch them in a special way. Here are some of the best gifts that you could give an internet marketer:

Subscription to a good autoresponder service - This is a must for any internet marketer. Not only will the highly appreciate the thought, but this is something that is extremely useful to them as well. The best autoresponder services available that I know of are trafficwave and royal-responder.

Get them a PPC account with 7search and deposit some money in it for them - 7search is one of the best PPC services available today, surpassing even google adwords and yahoo in the ROI. The ideal amount would be $25 (which is also the initial deposit required). This is easily the best gift you can give an internet marketer - they all need more advertising!

A useful laptop accessory - Just about all the internet marketers have a laptop. Something really good to get for them is something that will improve the performance of their laptop, or improve the usability of the laptop. Some god examples include getting extra batteries, a solar charger, or extra Hard disk storage space or RAM. However, a good recommendation is getting the lap desk. It serves as a great way to reduce the stress of having the laptop on your lap, and also serves as a reading desk, a portable briefcase and much more. The lap desk is also available for very reasonable prices of $30 or lower, though some really good ones cost as much as $70.

Get them a package based on their work online - There are a variety of gifts that you can get an internet marketer based on the nature of their work online. Here's a quick guide to each of them:

1. They are affiliate marketers - Get them a program to help them with their affiliate business. Good example are The Light in The Darkness and Affiliate Project X.

2. They have their own product - Make them a website about their product/service, or something similar (such as a blog or a lens on Squidoo) highlighting their product. This is something that every network marketer needs - more advertising!

3. Get them a good advertising program, such as an opt-in list builder. Better yet, build a list for them. It's super easy and anyone can do it.

4. If you're any good with web designing, make some stuff for them that they will find incredibly useful, such as a pop-up generator offering free information about their site or product. Make it flexible enough that they can enter their own information in it.

5. Design a logo for them - If you're any good with Adobe or similar programs, you can build them a logo for their main product/service. Again, this is something that will not only be appreciated, but will also be very useful for them.

6. Get them a good ad placing service, such as a a subscription to Leadsomatic or similar program.

A beverage warmer/cooler - Most internet marketers end up spending long hours in front of the computer, especially in the beginning of their career. A USB beverage warmer or cooler is perfect for them for this time. Whether they like drinking coffee (or some other warm beverage) or pop or something cool, a USB warmer or cooler will work great for them. Of course you'll need to know whether they like cold or warm beverages before you get one for them. A typical warmer or cooler costs under $45.

Here's one for workaholics - it's very easy to work all the time if you literally can work all the time. Try and bring their attention back to the things that matter with a CD enclosed with any of your gifts that has the song American Dream by Casting Crowns. Here are the lyrics to convict them and help them get their priorities right:

All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
But he's moving on full steam
He's chasing the American dream
And he's gonna give his family finer things

"Not this time son I've no time to waste
Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play"
And then he slips into his new BMW
And drives farther and farther and farther away

Cause he works all day and tries to sleep at night
He says things will get better;
Better in time

[Chorus]
So he works and he builds with his own two hands
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

Well his American Dream is beginning to seem
More and more like a nightmare
With every passing day
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
Another wasted weekend
And they are slipping away

'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
He tells them things are getting better
Just take a little more time

[Chorus]
So he works and he builds with his own two hands
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
I'll take a shack on the rock
Over a castle in the sand

Now he works all day and cries alone at night
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time

[Chorus]
'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

All they really wanted was you
All they really wanted was you
All they really wanted was you
[Fading]was you

Think about this as you shop for the different holiday gifts -

We used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins",
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end...
