No Catch Internet Marketing

How Do You Plan to Get There

The world of internet marketing
might seem like a giant 'maze' to you...
I know it does to me.
Take all of the emails I get..each and everyday.

So far, today, I've received emails for:

1. Micro Continuity (x 5)
2. Free Traffic System
3. Underground Training Lab
4. SitePal (for a "Virtual Employee")
5. Longtail Articles
6. Instant Lead Magnet
7. (3) Separate survey requests (non-paying)
8. A couple of 'up-grade' offers on free website submission sites.
9. A video from Travis Sago on Clickbank Links
10. Four or five emails from people/sites I've never heard of.

And...this is in just one of my email accounts (I have 7.)

It's enough to overwhelm anyone.
Most of the emails are
real lessons in sales letters. They all
seem like the 'next best' thing!
And...almost all of them cost money!

In my plan to get through the 'maze' of opportunities
(and confusion)
the first step I am taking is
'unsubscribe'!

I can't afford to be distracted,
derailed,
or tempted in any way.

But...
I won't unsubscribe to everything!

I'll continue to receive those emails for programs
that I am most interested in...
'One Week Marketing'
'Niche A Day'
'Bum Marketing'

anything that falls into the plans I have
mapped out
to get through the maze
as quickly as possible.

So, how do you plan to get there?
I'd be interested to hear
what others are doing to muffle
the 'noise' from all of the
opportunities you receive.

Affiliate Marketing Predictions for 2009

Another 'Zoobie' internet marketing adventure!

Okay..
I seem to be 'hooked on Zoobie'....but, as frustrating as it can be...trying to learn how to do legitimate internet marketing and make a decent living...I think it's also good to 'laugh' once in awhile.

More 'Newbie' Adventures in Internet Marketing

The 'saga' continues....
I do see 'myself...and so many others...in these little characters'

A 'Newbie' Adventure in Internet Marketing

Everyone who reads my blog knows that I like to 'troll' You Tube for anything I think might be helpful at 'making money at home.'

During one of my 'trolling visits' I ran across a couple of videos that I thought, kind of 'summed up' Internet Marketing for Newbies...and decided to share.

This is episode 1...and I will be doing more episodes...because I like them..in the near future.

No get rich quick schemes---for real!

There are no get rich quick schemes! For real...they just don't exist! In spite of the promises and the testimonials and even the copies of the huge paydays...if they claim you will 'get rich quick'...run, as fast as you can...the other way!

How often have we all seen these kinds of diagrams? You know the ones...you are there at the top and all you need to do is 'get two people' (the two circles directly below 'you') and they each get two...and so on.
It looks good on paper...and a really good 'salesman' can convince you that it works...I've heard it actually has for a 'few' people.
I've even signed up for a couple. I thought the product was exceptional, though a bit on the pricey side...and the plan looked 'do-able'...though, as it turned out, not for me. I have turned more friends into 'distant acquaintances' as a result.
But, it's my personality to believe that there is something out there that will do more than eek me a living and I'm bound and determined to find it.
There's no 'get rich quick schemes' - for real! But, I believe there are programs that will work with hard work and perserverance! I'll be previewing a few that I've recently run across, for you to check out in the coming days and weeks.

We can all learn from "Game Show In My Head"

I don't know if the show will catch on or not...but, really... the very first time I tuned into this show there is a guy...'sitting in a Port-a-Potty' and to win $5,000 he has a specified amount of time (maybe 5 minutes, if that) to get someone to...give him some reading material...give him some tissue..and talk to him for 1 minute.
Oh my gosh, I thought this was just too funny....the kicker is...he WON the $5,000! REALLY!

I think if we 'borrowed' a few things from this show...and applied it to 'Work at Home' programs...we would 'succeed more than we fail'.

Imagine, we have one week to come up with xxxx amount of dollars...we might not have to sit in a 'port-a-potty' to make those funds...but, if we go after it..with the same amount of 'gusto'...and 'put ourselves out there a little more' we might just do it!

I have to add that...I've yet to see any of the contestants...win ALL of the challenges...but, all of the contestants (I've seen) have won most of them.
This is how I have begun to approach my own online 'work at home' programs...set up a number of 'challenges' so that I can increase my own odds of 'winning' at least SOME of them!
