Ezine Marketing Tips by Lee Benson
ProfileAfter being an online marketer for over four years, the truth FINALLY hit me. I'd absorbed so much hype, so many worthless marketing strategies and worst of all, I'd seen and heard WAY too many failures to count, that the powerful thought of realization conjured in my mind.
My business buddies had come and gone in their bucket loads.
In literal terms, I'd seen my "best net friends" drop from my ICQ contact list like flies. I was suddenly noticing returned mail errors when I tried to contact my business mates by email, and the worst feelings came when I received notifications of their intent to quit.
WHAT WAS GOING ON? Why Did I Feel So Strongly?
To put it bluntly, the ambitions that once were, died. My most regular contacts online had quit this Internet marketing 'lark'. Quite simply, they realized the hype.
They were sick and tired of spending endless amounts of cash on worthless marketing techniques, wasting hours of their life on pointless promotional junk, and getting ripped off by the "get rich quick" nature of the 'Net.
* And honestly, is it at all surprising? *
Every search I do for "Internet marketing" churns up 1000s of worthless websites, plagued with affiliate links, bad site design and promises of millions. The limitations of off-line business have been removed, and so have given way to a world of hype, scams, lies and false hope and promises.
No wonder thousands of businesses are actually LOSING money online. !
You want to know WHY I'm still here after this time, owning a successful business that I run from the home office? Want to know WHY I haven't joined the rat-race that I see clog up the roads at 9am and 5pm every day? Want to know WHY I don't quit, throw in the towel and say goodbye so all of this HYPE? The Answers follow
Top Tips
1) I don't listen to any of it! Although I'm NEVER skeptical of life's possibilities, I am realistic. Sure, you CAN become a raving success online. But why take advice from the self-proclaimed gurus that haven't achieved it?
2) I keep a VERY open mind to my own possibilities and have confidence in my own judgements. I know that by thinking in a successful and positive frame of mind, I can achieve it.
3) I DRIVE myself with a burning desire of true success, and will absolutely stick to that at all costs. My tenacity (persistence) grows every day - I stay focused at ALL times.
4) I work like heck and learn everything I can. Over the past few years I've learned more than my entire school education taught me in terms of real-world practicalities and skills.
5) No matter what life throws at me, no matter how much the circumstances can hurt, I stand up and say "I'm not affected". I NEVER give up. I NEVER quit. I keep striving for success.
So What Will You Become?
I'm going to share one simple (and totally overlooked) aspect of TRUE SUCCESS.
That tip is simply this (listen closely):
Internet success doesn't come from a few search engine submissions, worthless FFA postings and a site plagued with affiliate links. It comes from UNIQUE ideas, with UNIQUE creations, fueled by an over-powering ambition to SUCCEED.
You have two choices. Join the FEW who discover that the Internet (like so many things in life) takes hard work, smart thinking and a positive attitude for success... Or join the THOUSANDS that follow the hype, waste time and money, and die the Internet death.
Those two paths await. Which route will YOU take?
