About

Jimmy Krug began self-publishing and marketing paper and ink mail order booklets in 1996.  After a period of trail and error, he found the winning formula for marketing paper and ink booklets in 1998.  He moved his entire publishing business online in 1999.  In 2002, he developed an “Internet Marketing System” based on the old Charles Atlas ads found regularly in comic books and magazines over the past sixty years. “It was the most successful mail order program of all-time. I used all the principles I learned from that program and built a business for the 21st Century!” Since then he has developed over a dozen successful business-to-business web sites offering a variety of products and services. Jimmy’s services are used by Governor Mark Sanford and Senator Chip Campsen of North Carolina as well as the Democratic Party of Manatee County, FL.

Using the same simple principles he teaches others, Jimmy operates a variety of online businesses including – A webhosting company, a national publicity service, a website design service, a bulk mail/ezine distribution service, 3-online magazines and a variety of other direct marketing sites.
