Meet Mike

McCarthy says, “This year I had the pleasure of getting to know Mike Mograbi.

While his name may not ring a bell for some, everyone knows the publication he launched in 2006:

Internet Marketing News Watch (IMNW)

What a great service IMNW is for people trying to keep up with the ever-changing world of Internet marketing.

If you don’t know Internet Marketing News Watch, google it and take a look.

It’s a news site that’s updated constantly (as in hourly) with news from the Internet marketing and high tech industries. There’s nothing like it in the world and visiting IMNW has become a daily ritual for thousands of marketers including me.

What some people may not know about Mike is that he’s based overseas – in Beruit, Lebanon.

If you followed the international news this year, you know what that means.

If not, here’s a conversation you could have had with him in July…

…………………

You: Hey Mike. How’s business?

Mike: Great! The site keeps growing by leaps and bounds and people really seem to like it.

You: How’s the family?

Mike: Well, at the moment my country is caught in the crossfire of a shoot out between Israel and Hezzbollah.

I drove my family across to Jordan to keep them from getting killed. We considered ourselves very lucky to have arrived in one piece. There are folks who weren’t as lucky.

Otherwise, we’re all fine. How about with you?

…………………

While we were all grilling hamburgers in the backyard this summer, this was, in fact, how Mike spent *his* summer vacation.

And here’s the amazing part…

Through all of this, Mike’s business didn’t skip a beat.

And unless you knew Mike personally, you’d never know any of this was going on in his life.

Talk about grace under pressure!

As we go through 2007 and beyond, we might all remember Mike’s summer vacation next time we think we’re facing “adversity.”

If bombs aren’t falling on your city, things are *probably* not as bad as you think they are 🙂

And if you’re Mike-like, you could find a way to deal with it if they were.

Anyway, if all Mike did was start Internet Marketing News Watch and keep it running during a shooting war that would be a huge contribution to our industry.

But he’s done a lot more – and that’s what this letter is about…

This savvy, gutsy businessman – he has an MBA from the American University in Beruit – has cracked the code on the Pay-Per-Lead business and made it comprehensible – and easy – for the rest of us to join the party”.
