milliondollarmaybe - the blog

What a lazy b**tard! I came back from a nice two week break in Turkey a few weeks ago and I just haven’t been arsed to do any writing on my blog since I got back. How lazy is that?

Having said that I’ve been busy with other things so maybe I’ve got an excuse. Nah not really!

Well hopefully I’ll change that anyway because I’ve also just updated a report that I’m giving away (you can get it by clicking over there on the right).

The 7 Deadliest BS Factors That Will Kill Your Marketing Success - And How To Avoid Them!

Basically it’s all about the stuff they don’t tell you when you buy their ‘get rich’ schemes.  As far as I know I’ve never come across information like this before because everyone seems to be out there to bullsh*t everyone else!

Well hopefully my report will get round and even if it stops a couple of people wasting their hard earned cash, then at least I’ve done some good in the world today.

 Maybe we should all be thinking like that…what good can we do in the world today?

 Nice thought!

Anyway ‘get rich’ schemes just don’t work…we all know it, but we still keep buying them. Are we just a greedy lot and want the quick fix? I reckon so, but there are a few fundamental reasons why these sort of programs will NEVER work for some people. This report tells all…no fluff…no hype…no BS.

Even if I say so myself I’m really quite pleased with it so go ahead and download it now…it’s free!

I’ve just uploaded a new website I’ve been working on - www.saveonit.co.uk.  The plan is to make it SEO and USER friendly so that anything anyone wants to buy online, they can, without having to do endless searches all over the internet. It’s a nice idea and nothing new so who knows whether it’ll be a money spinner? 

Even if it makes no money I’m enjoying doing it as it’s all CSS based which is how I like to build my websites where possible (and if you don’t know what CSS is, Google it to find out - it’s worth knowing if you need your own website).

Now it’s nowhere near finished - in fact it never will be - but I thought I’d run it as a hobby and try to add new links regularly. Maybe it’ll grow enough for Google to find it rather than me waste my money on PPC!

My intention is to add coupons, reviews and other shopping related stuff as well as affiliate links but you know how it is, the old motivation starts to wane abit, especially now the sun’s out down here in li’l old Shoreham!

Anyway the intention is there so if you want to buy anything online you can add to ‘my millions’ (said with tongue firmly in cheek) by seeing if it’s on here first.

I might even post how it’s going!

I’ve been a bit busy lately and not had any time to update my blog or update the milliondollarmaybe website. Of course I’ve been checking my emails daily and as usual those f***ing spammers are trying to post useless comments on the blog…and as usual I just mark them as Spam and delete them.

It’s just another example of internet marketing dishonesty - or internet pollution to put it another way.

Anyway I’ve just activated the Akismet plugin which should fight back but isn’t it a shame that it comes to this? After all blogging for legitimate purposes, i.e to provide information  and for making valuable comments to get backlinks for genuinely useful purposes is great.

Unfortunately in all walks of life there are parasites who feed off the decency of others and it seems to me the internet marketing field is filled with these parasites!

Maybe I’ve just had a bad couple of weeks!!

Of all the shite that’s out there on the ‘internet marketing’ and ‘make money online’ niches, the thing I hate the most…the part that I think is the most dishonest…the crap that makes my blood boil…OK I’m just going to calm down for a second…the biggest BS factor of the lot as far as I’m concerned is the fact that when they try to sell you ‘how to make a zillion dollars in a day’, they haven’t a clue what sort of person you are!

The plain truth of the matter is (am I being negative?)…is that not everybody has the skills, mindset or tenacity to build, run and believe in their own business, especially not an internet based business.

Despite what they tell you, it is hard and takes time, dedication and continual learning to become successful online or in any business for that matter. I’m not saying this to put anyone off but I hate seeing people getting ripped off and I believe that the majority of internet marketing wannabes are doing just that…geting ripped off!

How do I know this?

Well how about this. I have spend a small fortune (I’m too embarrassed to say how much) on this program and that to try and ‘maybe make my million dollars’ and although I do make money online, it’s not been as much as when I had my conventional business. Now that said I don’t mind ‘coz I hated that business but the point is, do not believe them if they say it’s easy.

Now you may detect from the tone of this post that I’m somewhat peeved. Yep, that’s because I’ve been chatting to a mate of mine today who has paid out loads more than even me and he still hasn’t made any money…and he is totally dedicated!

He has spent so much time, energy, money and is worse off than before he started. How many others would be prepared to put in this kind of effort? Not many I suspect but millions buy the products! I tell you the make money niche is full of shit!

There I’ve said it! And of course it stands to reason, why do they want to tell you about it if it’s so good?

Now I’m not saying you can’t make a fortune online, on the contrary, we all know you can. Anyone who truly has the DESIRE to make it should be able to, but the sad fact of the matter is that so few genuinely have that desire!

If you have go for it. If you haven’t, don’t believe the hype…there is no easy way!

My H2O report goes through this and other BS factors so go ahead, download it and save some cash if you’re tempted to buy the latest ‘Get Rich’ scam!

The South coast of England has been hit by a severe storm today, one of the worst for a few years. Waves were huge at Shoreham beach and many of our local roads were closed .

And I missed it!

As usual I’ve spent most of my day glued to the pc and now as I sit watching the local news on the goggle box I am thinking that I should get out more! Apparently the waves and the beach were a fantastic sight at high tide and I didn’t get to see them!

It’s made me think that although I love what I do, there is another life away from my computer.

The whole reason I gave up my traditional business was because I didn’t want to be tied to it. Now, although it’s through choice, I seem to be tied to my online business.

Dedication and perseverance are of course admirable with any venture but I think we all need to give ourselves a break sometimes. I’m also sure that productivity is increased when you step back from time to time.

So there you have it -my thoughts today- don’t work so hard!

The milliondollarmaybe H2O report is now ready for downloading.

For anyone who is trying to break into the IM niche this is a MUST read. There is just so much crap on this subject and I feel so many people are getting a bum deal.

As someone who has come from a ‘proper’ business background it will spill the beans on what I consider the 5 main deceipts that are all around you when you start.

For some reason people just don’t see this stuff when they dip their hand in their pockets for the old credt card to get  the next’ latest, greatest…’ that’s going to make them rich.

This report I hope will put anyone straight and stop them wasting their money unless something is truly worthwhile. I genuinely hope it helps.

It’s free to anyone who signs up to receive the milliondollarmaybe newsletter. You can check it out here www.miiliondollarmaybe.com/H2O_Report.

Personally I don’t bother doing the lottery. But it always amazes me when I go into my local corner shop how many people spend at least £5.00 (roughly $10.00 US) per week doing it, in the remote hope that it will change their lives forever. It seems to me that this money accumilated over time could be far better spent on something which is much more likely  to make them better off in the future, maybe a great marketing program for example!

However a mate of mine Martin from www.mecoit.com has decided to promote a program based around the Euro lottery. The concept is simple, if you can get five people to join the program under you, you effectively get five lines of the lottery for free, at least that’s my understanding.

 Apparently the system gives you equivalent to 88 lottery entries per week which cost a fiver and you get someone else to pay for it!

For those people who spend at least a fiver on the lottery they could massively increase their odds and also get a slice of a much larger pie by using this system.

Anyone who’s interested in this concept can find out more by following this link  http://www.v-w-d.com/178392ME.

By the way that is not my affiliate link. I don’t get anything fromn this but I thought it would be handy for somebody!

We all know there is so much crap out there on the internet regarding money making opportunities yet…and I can’t understand this…we still buy it!

Why? Is it because we’re lazy and just want the quick fix or are we deluded enough to really believe this stuff?

Well I’ve almost finished my H2O Report which is going to reveal what they DON’T tell you when they take your money. It is unbelievable that we behave so differently when we part with cash for money making schemes than with any other product.

The report explains all in detail so as soon as it’s finished it will be available to download FREE from www.milliondollarmaybe.com. In the mean time more info is available by clicking on the picture in the bar to the right.

For anyone who’s been trying to break into the internet marketing scene it won’t be long before you’ll be told that you should try to establish yourself in any niche as long as it’s not internet marketing! Funny that really, as it seems to me that this is the only niche where people are prepared to pay ridiculously inflated prices for poor value. That and weight loss I suppose!

The thing is, it’s all very well writing an eBook or creating a program about your hobbies or something that you are passionate about, but if you like collecting ancient sweet wrappers for example, your hardly going to make an online fortune (forgive me if that’s what floats your boat).

Therein lies a problem. Whatever field in which you choose to establish your online presence, to set up a website, create a list and market effectively takes a lot of time, effort and probably money! So the question is, do you do it as a hobby or as a business?

If there is no intention to make a million dollars then of course you can take time and build it slowly and you never know you might strike a home run without even trying. More than likely however, as most other markets don’t have ‘dreamers’ and ‘hopers’ for prospects the potential income is probably limited…

Unless it is run as a serious business.

But serious business needs serious investment, not only in money but particularly in time. That then opens up a whole new can of worms because to spend the time to succeed in business especially in the beginning takes motivation and dedication, especially when the customers are not desperate!

This is why I particularly love the internet marketing field. Yes there is an incredible amount of competition but as we are all looking for that elusive way to get rich without trying too hard, at least with this market our prospects…which includes you and me…are prepared to spend an awful lot of money in the hope that their purchases will fulfill that elusive goal!

The ‘Gurus’ all tell you to seek out other niche markets but you hardly ever see them actually promoting any other products apart from the IM stuff! Funny isn’t it. Do you think they know where the money really is?

As for me while I still haven’t made my million, I love trying and if I can help others with what I know already then I’ll  be a happy man.

As a continuation to my post yesterday, there are of course exceptions to the rule! Actually it is not an exception in as far as the following is demonstrating something.

Email Promos exposed has been doing the rounds on the internet lately, and normally as soon as something is promoted on the ten million marketing emails that I receive every day, I get pretty p***ed off and hit the delete button asap!

However for some reason this was different. Maybe because I knew the name Michael Rasmussen…maybe because I was ready for something new…I don’t know except that I decided to sign up for the free videos.

And boy am I glad I did!

A series of eight free videos that give genuinely good info regarding that ‘dodgy’ area of email marketing!  These videos are great and anyone who has not had major success with their list should sit up and take note. Everything from subject lines that get your emails opened to email copy that gets read - it’s all in there.

If you want to see it in action, sign up for my free newsletter at www.milliondollarmaybe.com because I can’t wait to use these techniques!!
