It’s About Taking Action

Posted by peter on April 10, 2008 | 1 Comment

People outside the internet marketing industry will often laugh or criticise various IM products and their claims with something along the lines of “if they can really make that much money, they would be spending their time doing it, not trying to sell you products that will let you copy them”.

I completely disagree with the above sentence. People are making big money everyday in internet marketing, and they can completely share their secrets and you know what? Very few people will take action on that information.

If the biggest names in internet marketing, lets say the top 10, based on revenue, got together and created an incredible product with videos, audios, interviews, step-by-step plans, blueprints, the full works, and then if they gave that product away for free to anyone who wanted it, do you know what will happen?

In 99.9% of cases a person will get it, probably go through some of the material, some may even go through most of the course, but only 0.01% will actually take any action.

That is why the internet marketing industry survives and continues to grow. That is why the guru’s can afford to tell you all their secrets for your $97, they know that you probably won’t take any action.

If you’ve been in the internet marketing industry for more than 6 months I can guarantee that you have at least one ebook on your hard drive that could make you a fortune, hell, even if you’ve never bought an ebook in your life, if you head over to www.ezinearticles.com there are thousands of articles that you can read to find out how to make money.

Trust me on this, if people take action instead of reading/listening/watching they’ll be 100x more successful.

Have you recently purchased an ebook that promised you that you could make thousands? Did you actually take any action?

Growth Potential For Internet Marketing?

Posted by peter on April 6, 2008 | 3 Comments

This article just puts words to digital print something that I’ve had on my mind for a few weeks. It is basically musings on the growth potential for the Internet Marketing industry now that it’s pretty much accepted that the US economy is experiencing a big downturn (see, I didn’t use the dreaded ‘R’ word!).

The reason I’m thinking this is that as lay offs increase, job security decreases, purse strings are tightened, everyone (it’s human nature) will start searching the internet for ways to make more money. Naturally as they search for things like make money a significant majority will find internet marketing and get sucked in as so many people so.

So, with a predicted influx of newbie internet marketers, the need and demand for introduction courses, down to earth guides (ie. this is not a get rich quick opportunity) and more advice and information for people who may not be too savvy, is greatly increased. Who will rise to the challenge?

Armand Morin has come out with his Internet Marketing Explained package, but at $2000 it’s grossly over priced. Yes, it may be the ultimate course available (I’ve not read it), but how is the price tag going to help the guy that’s recently been made redundant?!

Yes, this is YAIM, that is to say…Yet Another Internet Marketing Blog. But I hope to make this blog with a difference. First off, no bulcrap. No HYPE, no sales pitches and no psychological triggers.

Well, anyway, I hope that this internet marketing blog is a bit of a break from the norm, and it can provide you with some real useful information as well as some great, up front and honest reviews.
