Who we are

We are mostly me – Brian Hawkins. The Extreme Ezine is my baby. Without getting all gushy, I have a lot of pride in this publication and I even feel close to my subscribers. Originally started on October 2003 as a bi-monthly newsletter from a free site hosted on GEO Cities, the Ezine has taken on many forms, adopted by a couple different sites until recently in September of 2006 she moved to an independent site. The Extreme Ezine has endured many ups and downs including a server crash, a hosting company taking the money and running and the huge move to AWeber, our list management company. These were major setbacks to the point that we all but started over several times. I don’t mean to say AWeber was a setback, it was definitely a huge improvement but we did loose many hundreds of subscribers with the change. I love the improvements that the move to AWeber has allowed us make. The experience has been greatly improved for both the subscribers and us. My only regret is that I hadn’t started out with them in the first place.

What We Offer

An Ezine is an electronic newsletter that’s normally delivered directly to your inbox. The Extreme Ezine is a newsletter that is published every week or so on no certain schedule. If we don’t have a worthwhile issue we don’t send one. We specialize in the online marketing niche and our expertise in the various methods of internet advertising is extensive.

Our subscribers consist of mainly internet marketers, affiliate marketers, social networkers, bloggers, site and small business owners. They also have a higher than average intelligence because they read our Ezine – just seeing if you’re still reading

We offer our readers relevant information, tips, suggestions, resources, contests, the occasional free download, jokes and quotes. The Extreme Ezine is sent in a plain HTML format with an alternate text version for those that can not receive HTML in their email.

The Extreme Ezine is also now published in RSS/XML feed. Subscribe in a reader. Each issue is archived on this site for quick reference. I encourage our visitors to subscribe to our feed along with the ezine subscribtion which is a separate publication. You can see both options in the right column or on our Subscribe Page.

We make it a point not to overwhelm our subscribers. We never send solo ads. We don’t shoot off an email every time another marketer launches a new product or every time we join an affiliate program. If it’s not something that I’d like to see in my own inbox I don’t send it – period! Ezine subscribers will also receive blog post excerpts. Right now we have it setup to mail out these excerpts after every three posts are published.

About The Editor

Who is Brian Hawkins? I’m a forty three year old American in Belleville, MI USA. I’m a self proclaimed internet marketer and proud to be one. My second focus is on site promotions and I love to show others what I’ve learned. I’m not afraid to express myself even when it upsets a lot of people. I’ve shown in the Ezine and my other Blogs that I’m not afraid to name names and point fingers if it exposes a scam and I can even be a little sarcastic once in a while
THAT’S RIGHT – I SAID IT

I’ve been married to a lovely lady named Kim for 25 years and we have four grown children that we’re very proud of. Two boys and two girls. We have three perfect Grandsons so far and hope to have more Grandchildren someday.

I have over 110 domains right now but I hope to reduce that to twenty or so very soon. I have about a dozen sites that I own and run with a few that directly associate with the Extreme Ezine. During my free time I nap for twenty minutes because that’s all the time I have left

One last thing, I’m having a blast and have never been happier.

Your online Marketing Advisor,
Brian Hawkins
