They Don’t Know What Type of Person You Are!!!

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

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!

Confessions of an internet marketing junky!

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

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.
