Yeah, I know it's ironic that I've got a post with a title of "Stop Bitching!!" and what I'm doing could be seen as bitching, but stick with me, because this is important...
Yesterday, I talked to you about how a lot of the "online gurus" are crybabies.
Today it's time to talk about the customers who guy online marketing stuff, whether that be seminars, the latest "secret" ebook, or whatever...
You guys need to grow up. Really.
The world of online marketing certainly has a lot of type to deal with, but the reality is that a lot of this stuff works. The "guru" crowd, as thin-skinned as they are, is made up of some very sharp people and they know what they're talking about. If you don't believe me, look at all the C-List people trying to make money in this market...the guys with an ebook on autoresponders who don't even know how to set one up, or the folks talking about making millions online who are still living with their parents.
There is a reason Armand Morin can sell out a seminar for $2000/person. There is a reason that John Reese can sell $1,000,000 of product in one day.
The stuff these guys are teaching works, but you have to do certain things to make it work. And one of those things is to get off your ass and do something. Sure, you can work from home if you want, but that doesn't mean you can sit around all day watching soap operas and eating Doritos.
So when you buy something about how to make money, realize that...
1. You must open it.
2. You must read it.
3. You must put the information to use.
4. Things take time.
Most of the "guru" folks were born to sell. In other words, before they were in the world of online marketing, they were doing a job like selling cars, telemarketing, direct mail, or something similar. They came into this business with a set of skills that translated well.
If this isn't you, and you're the type of person who hates making a cold call, hates introducing himself to a stranger, or hates making a list of things to get done and sticking to it, this may not be the job for you. However, with that said, if you really want this, it's certainly possible that you can achieve it, if you're willing to put in the work to make it happen.
Let's face it, most of the online gurus aren't exactly the more charismatic people on the planet. The bar for that area of the business is pretty low. So don't think you have to be world-class salesman or performer to make money in this business. It can be done and it is being done.
But please, stop bitching because you never really gave something a chance. Successful entrepreneurs find a way to make things happen, regardless of the circumstances.
