The Internet Marketing Board Game

Every once in a while, someone in the world of Internet Marketing comes out with something fairly original. One of my readers has just launched a board game about Internet Marketing called, er, The Internet Marketing Board Game. Yes, it's a physical product that they ship to you, not a downloadable digital product — otherwise I wouldn't be mentioning it here. It's certainly the first such board game I've heard about.

The makers of this game are promoting it as a fun educational tool whose primary goal is to teach the players all the ins and outs of Internet marketing. The learning starts immediately: whip out your credit card to order the game and you'll learn your first lesson about Internet marketing, that Internet-only products tend to sell for a lot more than what you'd pay for at your local department/discount store. (This one has an introductory price of $247.)

Yes, AdSense is covered. So are private label products, affiliate marketing, autoresponders, etc. It might be a fun way to teach your friends and family what it is you do exactly, since they probably think you're not doing anything important, just sitting at your computer all the time, wasting your time…

I wonder if the game would qualify as a training-related tax deduction? Let me know if you try it (either the game or the tax deductibility).

Better hurry if you want it for Christmas, though. While you can be up on ClickBank buying gifts on Christmas eve (note that I don't recommend you do that unless you're truly desperate… it's certainly not the kind of gift my spouse would want), something like a board game has to be shipped to your house and we all know how much time that can take.

Next up: an AdSense question from one of my readers…

Eric Giguere wrote Make Easy Money with Google, which is not the spammy get-rich book you might think it is, and is about to release (finally) Uncommon AdSense, a book aimed at more experienced AdSense publishers. And no, it won't be overpriced.
