I used to train teachers for a living. One thing I noticed was that they hated doing pair activities and small group work as part of their training. Yet these were the same techniques that they used a lot in their own classrooms because they knew they worked.
Today on the Warrior Forum, there is another example of this. So-called marketers are complaining because the Chief Warrior made them read an advert beofre they could access the forum. They’re going on as if their ‘rights’ had been infringed. Howver, I’m looking at the huge number of sign ups that the owner achieved by forcing people to read the ad and noting how well this technique has worked. As always in marketing, it’s not what people say but what they do that counts.

I’ve been fed up for some time with the return I get on articles I syndicate. One problem is that you can usually only put your link into a box at the bottom of the post and not onto good text within the post. A related problem is that far too many people just delete your box from the article so that your link disappears. Finally, you have to rely on other marketers making the effort to find your articles.
That’s why I’m so keen on Article Marketing Automation. Firstly, you can place your link twice within an article on any text you wish. Secondly, it actively suggests your article to relevant sites within its system. I’ve never built up so many links so quickly.
Highly recommended.

I keep reading comments and getting emails stating that the economy is not in a bad state. Guess what breed of low-lifes are publishing this message – Internet Marketers. Now I’m prepared to admit that the rocky times ahead will be good for the ‘gurus’ . More and more desperate people are going to come online, looking for that ‘pot of gold’ to get them out of their financial mess. In their desperation, they’re going to fall for some of the ridiculous claims made by certain people. (I’ll exclude Michael Green from that – his products more or less live up to the excessive bullshit in his sales letters.)
But those of us who sell REAL products online, telephones or beauty products, know that people will be buying less often, and probably cheaper products. I was in a shopping mall in the UK today and the shop doing the business was Primark, the store with a low-price policy.
So while a small group of people might do well out of the recession, most online people will not. Don’t let them sucker you into laying out another thousand dollars before you find out.
