The Godfather of Internet Marketing – An offer you cannot refuse

It’s time to fight the urge …

I’ll admit it .. I never think I know enough either. Every week there is a new (and sometimes more than 1) item that arrives on the Internet Marketing scene that aims to solve all your money problems for the rest of your life.

These guys are great at 4 things .. 1 is making money for themselves and 2 is writing good sales-letters and 3 is copying other’s stuff and 4 is TAKING action.

So before you think you need to buy something else to make your business better – STOP. Look in the mirror and say “Is this really going to help MY BUSINESS — or am I buying this because it’s going to HELP ME”

Yes it will help you .. emotionally, but not financially. Buying the next biggest “thing” or “hope” will get you through the day happy. The problem is tomorrow will be a bad day.

Tomorrow comes the regret of the purchase, and then your realization that you have not advanced your business at all. My friend it’s time to get off the hamster wheel, and decide whether you want to be IN the marketing funnel, or HAVE the marketing funnel.

“I hope this program works, because all I know is that I’ve spent 25K on Internet Marketing programs and I’ve yet to break the $100 a month barrier”

I saw this quote as a Facebook comment on yet another Internet Marketing program a few weeks back and it really shook me up. It shook me up, because this guy is a sucker. He’s not an entrepreneur — he’s a consumer, and until he realizes that he’ll never make more than $100 .. and frankly I’m surprised he made that much.

Here is what an entrepreneur would do with 25K …
Option 1) Buy 1 operating mega site with 25k that’s making $3-5k a month profit ALREADY.
Option 2) Buy 5 operating semi-large sites (5k each) that are making $1k a month in profits ALREADY.
Option 3) Buy 10 operating niche sites (1k each) that are making $500 a month in profits ALREADY.
or
Option 4) Buy every Internet Marketing course for 3 months to learn how to make money online and then do everything myself from scratch for what I’ve learned.

Do you see the difference? One builds your business .. the other just builds frustration and debt.

So let’s try and keep this short as I’ve covered this immensely before. You won’t get rich buying Daniel Tans SEO Business in a Box, or Trey Smith’s Software System or whatever shit Ryan Deiss is peddling this month…

Instead you will build a business by doing something that actually helps your business.

Beware: Amazon is cut-throat …

31.03.2010 (4:54 pm) – Filed under: Uncategorized ::

As many of you know I have a number of e-commerce properties as well as info products and many other content websites. Ecomm has a special place in my heart, mostly because it’s where I started. I started out coding html and then graduated to php when the company I worked for desperately needed a shopping cart app.

I know there are also a number of you that sell on the Amazon Marketplace. Well I have a warning for you. Watch Your Back.

Yesterday I was blocked and removed from the Amazon Marketplace for:

you may have listed products which are in violation of our policies against
intellectual property infringement. As stated in our policies, the sale
of unauthorized replicas, pirated, counterfeit, and knock-off
merchandise is not permitted on our site.

So I awoke on Monday morning to no orders in my Amazon inbox which is weird, then I found this email. And that was it. No real reason or examples, or most importantly no proof. I don’t sell anything that I’m not allowed to on Amazon and there are many other current merchants listing the very same products on their site right now – including the company that was drop shipping our orders. Also our feedback rating – the life blood of the amazon system – was 4.5 stars / 5 stars with no negatives in the last 3 months.

What’s dishearting is that as a merchant you have no recourse whatsoever. Sure maybe I could sue — but what would be the point of that, to lose more money? No Thanks.

Honestly I don’t have a problem with Amazon removing my account, what bothers me is that they are unwilling to actually provide me with the reason my account was terminated. No copy of the complaint, No example product, No phone call – nothing but the email. This folks is just bad business.

My only solace is that we haven’t been on Amazon for that long (only about 6 months) and we weren’t doing enormous numbers, and Amazon takes a very large percentage, which cuts into profits. But if you are selling – or are thinking of selling on Amazon head my advice and be wary and don’t count it lasting forever because they may just decide one day that they don’t want you.

Oh, and if you want to buy some perfume and fragrances that are 100% legitimate, I know a great store! :)
