The Price of Internet Marketing Products is Highly Exaggerated

Author: DOGRAWONG

As autumn and cold crawl their way into Canada and the sun sets before 4 p.m., this darkness and quietness bring along a time of reflection for all of us. The assessment I want to share with you is about internet marketing. Although my list of things to do seams never-ending, I am very happy to realize all I have accomplished in less than a year ( over 40 active web sites, a hypnosis for childbirth program that already got international recognition, over 100 published articles on the net, etc)  I have been in internet marketing for a little less than a year and I have attended ten internet marketing seminars in 2006. I am the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things. For more details go to: www.internet-marketing-word.com I want to share my findings with people who are starting, thinking of starting or even stalling in the internet marketing business.  The ten biggest pieces of wisdom I want to share with you about internet marketing I have learned are:  1) The price of Internet Marketing products is highly exaggerated. Many marketers are comfortable taking hundreds of dollars for useless e-books or software. They are able to overcharge such big money for two main reasons: their customers believe their well-written sales letter promising them to become a millionaire by working only two hours per day. The second reason is that since other people have raised the bar before them, they feel comfortable with overcharging for their products. I encourage everyone who is about to purchase any internet marketing product to take a deep breath, backing up and do an internet search. Most probably, the product or its equivalent is already available for a fraction of the price on the internet.  My opinion is that no e-book is worth that much unless it provides me with the code of the safe at the bank for this internet marketer.  2) In the internet marketing business there are dreamers and there are doers. I have repeatedly met some people at internet marketing seminars who have not taken action and just keep buying the next product promising them a fast an effortless income. My experience is that it takes work (but then again I don’t see it as work as I enjoy it very much) at least in the beginning to secure a decent income in the internet marketing business.  3) Many internet marketers made their fortunes by selling products to people who want to make a fortune in the internet marketing business. Willie Crawford draws the parallel that the people who got the richest during the gold rush were the ones selling shovels and sticks to the gold diggers.  Anyone interested in internet marketing has to ask themselves if they have just been enriching the people selling them promises to make millions in the internet business.  4) There are basically three categories of internet marketers out there: the ones who just want your money, the ones who give you a good deal for your money and the ones that genuinely care about helping you making good money by sharing their efficient tactics.  I will, of course, not name any names here and I think that deep down people know what kind of marketers they are. I can tell you that upon trying to do a mental list of the genuine, caring ones, I had enough of my ten fingers to do the complete list.  5) The real successful internet marketers are often not on stage at seminars. I have met some very successful and knowledgeable people by talking to the person sitting next to me at seminars. I highly recommend you get to know the attendees at any given seminar; you will be surprised to sometimes find out that they know more than the speaker upfront and wiling to share everything with you…for free.  6) A masterminding group is a great resource to learn and share tricks and tips about internet marketing. The rule is to be part of a group that is about (or even better, a little above) your level of knowledge and accomplishments in internet marketing.  7) Action is power. Whatever piece of gold nugget you learn is useless if you do not take action on it. Many people are eternal course takers but have yet to get their first web site up. For can visit to: www.secretly-spy-your-internet-competition.com Even the best intended internet marketer will not make a penny if he doesn’t get his product out there. I have heard numerous times the advice to put out your product and fix the fine details later. It has been a little challenging for a perfectionist like me but, honestly, it works great. Often, customer comments allow me to go back and improve my product in ways that I would have never thought of.  8) Internet marketing is a number’s game. If you put all your eggs in one basket, you might rise very fast very high and then tumble down as fast. Diversity is the foundation for a solid business.  9) There will always be new things to learn. One cannot stay in their basement and hope that the world will not change. The internet marketing world is one that changes at the speed of light and one has to keep informed of the new trends and developments.  10) The Internet is here to stay. Internet has been growing at an astonishing rate and those who got in the game will be ahead of the pack in this exciting and powerful window to the world. The possibilities are infinite.    http://www.squeeze-page-profits.com      http://www.tube-traffic.com

Using Cult Control Tactics in Internet Marketing

;Heavily Inspired and Based on JK Ellis ” 10 Ways to Build a Cult Like Following”

---

The First Time I laid Eyes on the Book ” Cult Control “, I knew it would Work Brilliantly in an Internet Marketing Context.

There is One Thing That Most Marketers and People simply don’t realize yet.

Marketing Principles have remained the same and will always remain the same. Marketing Techniques are Constantly Changing.

Yes, Its True. The Principles behind why they work always have, is and always will be the Same. And Now you’re One of the Blessed Few who do Realize It . The Techniques Keep changing but the reason why they work don’t. But that’s simply another Lesson for Another Time.

These Tactics Work Brilliantly both Online and Offline ( Where most of our problems are ;-  ). The purpose this post serves is to tell you how to get people to want your attention and wisdom. In Other Words , more Readers, Customers, Subscribers, Money , Imparting Knowledge More Efficiently , Countless Such Advantages. Positioning Yourself as Leader or Maven or Guru brings with Ridiculous Amount of Advantages. It is a Very Good Idea.

Ten Ways to Build a Cult Like Following

In the course of the Next nine days ( weekends included ) , Nine more Tactics to Build a Cult Like Following are going to be Discussed . Without further Ado.

Tactic One – Initiation Vs. Instruction

Most Blogs and Sites around are Teaching Via Instruction. Most Lectures you’ve been to , teach via Instruction. Even I am guilty of this method most of the Time on the Internet. It didn’t occur to me until I revisited some of My favourite Books. The Number of Ideas and Flaws that came Crashing into My Brain made me go Nuts . I try not to do this Offline. Quite honestly teaching via initiation is the only method I even consider in the Real World.

For Example . Instead of Boring People with Theory , You could begin by having them make a simpler version. Anything You think the Audience can Handle quite easily. While making this ridiculously simple version , they would be using the various principles that they are seeking to Learn. It doesn’t have to be the most technical Application but an application none the less. If you can remember a time you learned something via this method you would no doubt recall it quite fondly. It is lots of fun to see something come alive in front of You this Soon.

Yes , You Guessed it. Teaching Via Initiation is about creating an experience that makes the learning personal and visceral to the Student or Reader or Potential Buyer as the Case may be.

Example -

Remember the 1984 Movie ” The Karate Kid “. On one hand you have the macho western karate instructor who taught his students via a skill ‘n’ drill process. On the Other Hand you have the character played by Pat Morito who says that he will teach Ralph Macchios ‘ character Karate in exchange for doing chores. But the chores must be done in a certain way ” This way Wax On. This way Wax Off. ” Only later does the young hero find out that there was a method to his Instructor’s Madness. Teaching via Initiation Makes a Lot of Sense Now Doesn’t it . Infact the Tactic One is briliantly used in this example.

There are many things You could simply explain to someone and they would understand intellectually understand but would’nt ” get it “ as an Insight. They would see it see it as Information. The result is that they might apply it or they might not.

Teaching by Initiation means quite simply Holding Back on telling someone what they want to know and instead providing an Experience where they get it on their own.

The Subjective Experience of the Reader is the lesson is much more valuable because -

1. They had to Work for it.
2. It is felt more Personally.

That brings Us to the End of Tactic One.

 Find a way to apply what you ‘ve learned immediately. Trust me You already have ridiculous number of opportunities to apply it. Even trying to apply it in the smallest way is more than enough. Example.  A co worker asks your help on using a program, finding a file etc.

Either Way You Now Know Tactic One . Congratulations.
