Martha Widawer
I’m not sure what kind of role I play in your online life, so I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been away for a while.
I’ve had to reprioritize.
A few months ago, my mother, Martha Widawer, was diagnosed with a metastasis of a kidney cancer she originally had five years ago. Back then, her kidney was removed and we thought the cancer was gone. When the scans in May showed spots, she knew it was bad.
My sisters and I have been caring for her.
She passed away Saturday night, surrounded by me, my two sisters, several of her grandchildren, her sister Betsy, and my mother’s long-time loving companion Sam.
Her funeral was Tuesday.
I loved my mother deeply and if you have a moment, I’d love for you to know a little about her, and learn what a wonderful, smart, warm, generous and funny person she was. If you’d care to read the Eulogy that I wrote and read for her at her service, you’ll find below.
One other thing…
Cancer is a killer that causes immeasurable pain and suffering. I’ve now lost both my parents, my Aunt Eva and Uncle Eddie, Uncle Carl, Cousin Kenny, Aunt Lilo, and Cousin Alexis to different kinds of cancer. And cancer nearly claimed my wonderful Auntie Betsy. Please support the fight against cancer by making a donation in our mother’s name, Martha Widawer, or the name of someone you love, to this aggressive cancer research foundation:

When you make a donation online, which can be as little as $10, please ask the system to send a note to me at this address: formartha (at) westhillsweb.com).
I am grateful to you.

P.S. I’ll be easing back into helping you succeed with your online business next week some time. My world is a bit upside down at the moment, and I’ll be busy settling her affairs for many months or longer. I appreciate your patience and support.
My Mother, Martha S. Widawer, Ph.D.
Dear Mom,
I think the most wonderful thing you’ve ever said to me, besides the I Love You’s I got every day, was something you said about 3 weeks ago. You said that Read more

How Do I Improve My Squeeze Page?
The video I posted last week about "What is a squeeze page" got some responses … and more questions … about Squeeze Pages.
You asked…
- Should I use a squeeze page for my site to build trust with my prospects?
- How do I make the autoresponder and Squeeze Page work together?
- How do you make a squeeze page?
- Where do I put the squeeze page relative to the rest of my website?
- How do I use a squeeze page with my blog?
- What is the best thing to offer?
- Is it okay to have other links on my Squeeze Page?
- How do I write my autoresponder messages?
- Can I use a squeeze page with affiliate products?
- How do I write the copy for my Squeeze Page?
These are all great questions…and ones that I’ll answer in the coming days for you in a BIG WAY. It’s kind of a surprise/thank you/gift kind of thing…a gift that will keep on giving.
So stay tuned for that.
For now, though, I want to Read more

What is a Lead Capture Page?
Well, they’re all really the same thing. Unfortunately, because of the strange name, lots of beginning internet marketers don’t understand this very basic part of online success.
I’ve been getting questions about Squeeze Pages, so I decided to answer the question in a video.
Once you’ve watched the video, leave a comment below, or ask another question — either about Squeeze Pages or any part of Internet Marketing — and I’ll do my best to get it answered for you.

Two choices for selling your stuff online (One is better than the other)
If you’re doing business online, what are your CHOICES?
I mean, if you’ve got a product, and you want to sell it online, WHAT DO YOU DO?
You could just put up a sales page and HOPE for the best…traffic may come (or not). And now and then someone might buy (but it’s never as much as you expected.)
But, it turns out, that HOPE is not a very good business strategy.
In fact, IT’S A BAD ONE.
The alternative to "hope" is Read more
