About
Why Macintosh for Internet marketing? For the same reason that millions of people prefer using a Macintosh for web browsing, desktop publishing, listening to music, creating artwork, viewing entertainment, creating music, managing photos and a thousand other things. Macintosh offers a unique user experience and an ease of use, smoothness and sophistication unparalleled by any other operating system.
Unfortunately, the Mac is the “forgotten stepchild” of the Internet marketing industry. Let’s face it: the Windows PC has dominance, and that is why you will find marketing gurus everywhere offering PC-based advice completely oblivious to the fact that Macintosh even exists. I founded this site because I was fed up by all the PC-centric information.
For example, I once bought a very popular course on Internet marketing which was widely lauded by all reviewers (in large part because the course offered a generous affiliate commission). When I received the course I was dismayed to find that a major “upsell” offered in the course was for a PC-only software program. In fact, the course went so far as to imply that the software was virtually essential for anyone who wanted to succeed at Internet marketing. If this was a case, I wondered, then why not just sell the software and forget the course, or throw it in as a bonus?
If you more examples of the way PC users put down Macs (although if you been around PC weenies for any length of time at all, you won’t need any) get a copy of Macintosh… the Naked Truth by Scott Kelby on the used book market. My favorite chapter is “‘I can’t believe you actually use a Macintosh!’ and other stupid things PC users say.”
So who am I? My name is Timothy Arends, and I am the webmaster of InternetMacMarketing.com. I have been a user of Macs myself since 1994 (I started out on a humble Performa 476) and I have helped purchase, install, and maintain and troubleshoot Macintoshes and Mac networks for business for several years. I have sold and demonstrated Macs at a major retail chain and I have been a Mac user group ambassador, newsletter editor, and program director for over ten years. I’ve written about Macs and Mac software for national magazines. Currently, I run my business exclusively using Macintosh.
It is my hope and goal that I can help you find Mac compatible software for virtually every Internet marketing related task you find yourself engaged in. If you have any questions or you see something you would like the site to cover, feel free to drop me a line at tim@internetmacmarketing.com.
