Welcome to the Kickstart Today Newsletter - the motivational and inspirational ezine that simply "makes your day".

My name is Martin Avis and I'm an Internet marketer, business consultant and author. I also happen to write the Kickstart newsletter twice a week.

Kickstart Today is a lot of things to a lot of people.

"...a regular source of inspiration."
"...full of thoughts and ideas that motivate me into action."
"...always ready with an apt quotation or famous saying."
"...opinionated."
"...honest and straightforward."
"...plain speaking."
"...a vital start to my day."
"...amusing and informative."

Most of all, Kickstart is a labor of love. I love writing for you - whether I'm ranting about something in the news, telling you about a movie I've seen, reviewing an Internet marketing product I've been impressed with or crafting an article on business or making money, I love to imagine that we are old friends, chatting about life.

I hope that personal feeling comes across.

The overall theme is 'success' - helping you to be more successful for yourself, your family, your business or in your job.

Every issue contains something to inspire you, a quotation to make you think, a thought for the day to get you on the right track, and a piece of trivia - because we all have to have fun now and again!

You'll find comments, thoughts, ideas and full-blown articles on such diverse subjects as:

• Internet marketing
• Goal Setting
• Time management
• Success thinking
• Procrastination
• Personal Development

And that's just scratching the surface! In well over 1000 issues to date you'd be amazed at some of the topics that have been covered! And many of Kickstart's subscribers have been loyal readers from the very earliest issues, so it must be getting something right!

That's my first objective - but if you ever think it is getting tired, you can always email to let me know. Your thoughts always count in Kickstart.

Far too many ezines and newsletters have become an excuse to send you pitch after pitch. They appear to exist solely to sell you things.

Kickstart is different. My promise to you is that I will never recommend a product to you unless I've tried it myself - and honestly think it is one of the best. That means that sometimes weeks go by without any product recommendations at all.

Kickstart is first and foremost about solid, useful, entertaining content.

I enjoy Kickstart Today immensely for it's wit, honesty and insight.

Dear Martin,

I am an avid reader of Kickstart since nearly 2 years because you always give valuable, inspiring and entertaining information. Much of which seems to come from your heart and I admire your seemingly bottomless well of content you share with us.

Plus of course you give us access to very useful software likeKeyword Hacker.

But what I really love is that contrary to everyone else - you DO NOT try to sell something each time you write to your list. This is very unusual and deserves a big applause!

Thanks Martin for the time and effort you put into Kickstart.

Martin, every issue of Kickstart Today defies description! I've reached the point where I am deleting most emails from Internet Marketers without reading them. I'm also finally getting around to unsubscribing from many of them. It seems that they're all most interested in what's in my wallet and not so much interested in what's in, or on, my mind.

Thankfully, you're the exception. Your Inspirational Thoughts -- and your Power Thoughts are the highlight of my email reading time. You provoke my thought process and have a way of Kickstarting my day.

I just wanted to say Thanks, Martin, and please keep doing what you're doing.

In Peace,

Ron Rink

I look forward avidly to Kickstart, it's my excuse to down tools make a coffee and be entertained for 10 minutes.
Keep it coming Martin

I've been a subscriber to Kickstart for yonks and yonks - and I've only just realised something. We must all have our funny little habits when dealing with loads of e-mails; but I thought I would share you mine. I get rid of the junk and the spam, then I get rid of the stuff that's boring - I deal with the business of the day - then I come to Martin's Kickstart - and treat myself to hearing from the Guru himself. I always think of Martin as sound and reliable. I have bought some of his products and some of the recommends - they have always been good quality. I really like Kickstart - and if I'm struggling a bit - I can always read a few lines about life in the Avis family, and it is nice to know other folks have their challenges as well.

Keep up the good work Martin.
