Marketers are Slick.
Who do you think
a lot of internet marketers
are making their money from?
I’ll give you one clue: YOU.
So you are looking for honest internet marketing help…
you are on some lists of some marketers who are making money…
they are constantly telling you about
the next great product you are going to want to snap up–
it is from Marketer XYZ, a friend of theirs….
and will skyrocket your profits!
Have your profits skyrocketed yet?
The things you need to keep in mind are:
1. 0nly YOU know what you need.
And only you can make informed decisions about your
next phase of business building.
2. The skill of good marketing is a skill you
are trying to learn. What the people getting your wallet
out of your pocket are doing is exactly what
you will want to be doing.
You may not like every marketer’s tactics, but
you better be appreciative and aware of every trick
that works on you.
You will want to be at least that effective
when you are running your campaigns.
Learn from the great ones.
Learn from the not-so-great ones.
And only buy what you need…
when you need it.
Who is in charge of your business?
Only you.
Keep that focus coming!
Spread the Word!
This Marketers-who-market-to-marketers thing
has gotten shamelessly ridiculous.
The Pre-launch/Launch/Post-Launch
pounding that occurs for nearly everything
is already burning itself out.
We even had a massive
Pre-Launch Hype Machine go down
for a product that teaches you
how to have a massive
Pre-Launch Hype Machine.
It’s like a cash-sucking, ATM machine,
bank account-exploding salesletter
that sells you a product to show you how to write
cash-sucking ATM machine, bank account-exploding salesletters….
This whole incestuous niche has dazzled
and smoke-and-mirrored and exaggerated
and sensationalized and idolized and pedestalized
until there is no sense of reality anymore.
There may not even BE a reality.
Honestly, the time is long overdue to take a step back
and re-evaluate what is going on in this war-torn niche–
my suggestion, as a place for the relatively uninitiated to start, is to:
think like a Marketer and not like a Mark.
All this overblown sensationalism that
hits you from every angle is a good study,
as long as you are looking to learn from it
and don’t get too emotionally involved
(as in pull out your WALLET on auto-pilot).
Each of us know where our level of integrity
will allow us to go.
If you feel that someone has crossed a line
in their marketing practices ,
cut ‘em loose.
You aren’t going to miss much by being on
six lists instead of forty.
Choose the voices you let in wisely.
Learn from those who resonate with your own set of values.
Let someone else Overhype and Underdeliver….
You got your own style.
Now go read the Internet Marketing Cure!
This is a free download and is really kicking up some
great responses from even some of the marketers
who might be guilty of some of the stuff he’s exposing…
To your ever-increasing focus!

Off to JVAlert…Road Trip!
I am heading off to JVAlert this week in Philadelphia….
Ken MacArthur and a host of Internet Marketing celebs,
movers, and shakers etc will be there.
There is nothing like diving in
to a live event and surrounding yourself
with the people who do what you do
to light a fire and get the juices flowing.
Ken has begun his Coaching and Mentoring
Program too, and I will be a part of that.
Like I have been saying,
hang out with the people you resonate with.
A lesson is always a lesson,
but if it comes from someone you
admire and respect, you just might be more inclined
to put that lesson into practice and
see the changes happen!
See you when I get back!
Keith
