Work Yourself Up!

3-Step Money System...Only $5

This isn't going to be for everybody, but it will be for most people...

I've just released a new book about making big money through the power of mindset. If you've tried everything you can do to make money with online marketing and you're still broke, this is probably why. 

The book is short, to-the-point, and contains a special section on what Napoleon Hill called "The Mastermind Principle."  Ask any wealthy person or successful business owner about this and he'll know what you're talking about.  It's very important.

Right now, you can get the book for only $5.  Why so cheap?  Because this is important and people who are feeling broke are the ones who need it the most. If you're one of those people, I don't want you to have any excuse why you can't grab a copy and give "The Rich Switch" a try.

Even if you think what I'm talking about is total garbage, you owe it to yourself to spend $5 and see what I'm doing to market it.  There is absolutely no different between marketing a book and marketing anything that you're doing, so use this as a study in great marketing.

First lesson... Everybody who buys a copy gets a free gift. Get your copy to see what it is. :)

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village...

NOTE: I'm not the author is this, but feel it's a great lesson for this blog...especially for those who got into this business in order to pursue a certain lifestyle.

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.

"Not very long," answered the Mexican.

"Then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.

The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.

The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."

The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."

"And after that?" asked the Mexican.

"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."

"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.

"Twenty or twenty-five years," replied the American.

"And after that?"

"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!"

"Millions? Really? And after that?" said the Mexican.

"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife, and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

And the moral is: Know where you're going in life ... you may already be there.

The Power Of Focus In Internet Marketing

In Internet Marketing, as in all things in life, the power of focus can be the difference between having enormous success or miserable failure. One of the main problems that confronts most new Internet marketers, not to mention a few more experienced ones, is that they get bogged down in too many projects or learn too many skills at once. This leaves many marketing efforts half finished and sadly causes a lot of frustration and lost time which can even cause some Marketers to give. Thankfully though, this need not be the case since by choosing one area of Internet Marketing to focus on success can be achieved very quickly. There are several components using focus to achieve success and we will look at these below:

Focus Component No.1 - Make A Decision

Review what knowledge you have already learned, what assets you already have in your business(if any) and then decide how it is that you want to proceed. If you find the idea of building Adsense sites interesting then decide that is what you are going to focus your energies on. Equally if you want to do an article marketing campaign then make that the focus of your attention until the task is completed. Whatever it is that you decide to do make sure that you stick to this decision and waste no more time floundering over what to do next.

Focus Component No.2 - Create A Plan Of Action

Nothing will be achieved without action so it is important to break down what it is that you want to achieve into a step by step plan with all the specifics listed of what it is that you will have to carry out with each stage. Don't make it any more complicated than it needs to be but at the same time do ensure that you don't leave out anything important that is crucial to the successful execution of what you are trying to achieve.

Focus Component No.3 - Get Rid Of All Distractions

It's so easy to get caught up with things that don't do you any good such as aimlessly surfing silly websites or watching too much television. Commit over the next period of time to really concentrate on the task at hand and see it through to completion. If you are in a family environment, then let them know that for the next period of time you are getting on with a project which is important and that you can't be distracted. They will be very happy with you when long-term you are able to provide them with the type of life they desire and also let them know this too.

Finally, all that's left is to get on with whatever it is you want to do and start making the money that you and your family truly desire.

Some People Are Pissed!!

Wow.  I make a few comments about how the "gurus" are in trouble and some people really dug in...

I understand the frustration.  There definitely are those who are trying to take advantage of people in this business.  And there definitely are a few, or maybe even more than a few, who aren't that successful, even though they say they are.  More on that in a second...

My point of the "Gurus Are Screwed" post was that this business is changing.  There was a time when you could be really successful simply by putting up a single-page website with text.  But as technology has moved forward, people are starting to expect more.  They want their information served in different ways, they want to be entertained more, and they want to look "behind the curtain."

I'm not saying this out of ill will for "gurus."  It's my opinion that there will always be a place for text-based sales letters, so they'll be ok.  And they'll be able to make money by driving traffic to affiliate offers via PPC or whatever else.  They'll be able to make money with Adsense or something similar...

But people who don't keep up with the level of personality and charisma via audio, video, and other advancements in online technology won't have the status they have today.

That's it.  I'm not saying that those with lack of personality and charisma are bad people.  They're simply not ready for the next phase of online marketing and will have to stick to more "old school" methods.

A lot of the comments which came through didn't get that.  They focused on how the "gurus" only make money selling "make money" stuff, or how many of them are hustlers.

This is true.  Many are hustlers.  And take away the "make money" income from most of these guys and they wouldn't really have a business.  With that said though, isn't the "make money" stuff a business?

To those who are frustrated... If it makes you feel better, the next time you get a "make money" email, lookup the address at the bottom on Zillow and get property value.  You'll see that a lot of the "gurus" aren't doing as well as you might think.

"Mr. X is in Jail!"

Saw a thread with this title on a popular online marketing forum.  It seems that one of the guys involved with the current online marketing "hot product of the week" had some recent legal problems when criminal charges were filed against him, alleging fraud and imitation of a licensed professional. 

According to a press release by the arresting sheriff's department, this guy was selling ebooks by "medical experts," with claims to treat attention deficit disorder, irritable bowl syndrome, head lice, female and male infertility, chronic body odor, yeast infections, scabies, ringworm infections, poison ivy, depression and anxiety, shingles, high blood pressure, hives, eczema, vertigo, pink eye, warts, and migraines, among others. The press release says that these books were not written by medical professionals.

Once the word got out, people started questioning the online marketing product.  They also started to question people promoting the online marketing product.

I'm not here to discuss the guilt or innocence of Mr. X.  The court will figure that out just fine.

What I want to know is your thoughts on the ethics of online marketing...

Is there anything you won't do for money?

Are there some products you just won't sell?

Are there some people you don't associate with or promote products for?  Why?

Thoughts on Stuff

Literally...

This is a great article on stuff.  And I feel the opinion, even if you don't agree with him, is really needed in this community, just to have something other than the "I've got a garage bigger than the average house and it's full of luxury cars" sales pitch so common with online marketing gurus.
