The Learning Curve forΓΒ Internet Marketing ΓΒ is Straight Up for me.
Man oh man, have I been busy. 2 weeks ago I read the e-mythΓΒ revisited, blew my mind again on what Gerber knows and how toΓΒ set up a business. Everyone, and I mean Everyone has to readΓΒ that if they are thinking about ever starting a business.
Then went down and picked up from my local library (had toΓΒ sign up for a new lib. card too) Jay Conrad Blevins’sΓΒ Guerrilla Marketing – old book, but an Awesome Read. Tons ofΓΒ good stuff in there about marketing your business. And theΓΒ refreshing part was that he wrote this just before theΓΒ internet was really publicly available, so here is a greatΓΒ book on all kinds of marketing that is so totally relevantΓΒ today and it has almost no mention of the internet. NowadaysΓΒ you can’t find a book about business or marketing that doesn’tΓΒ hype and hype the internet (and china, but that’s a differentΓΒ subject).
Well then read Mark Joyner’s Irresistible Offer – GreatΓΒ concept, just trying to wrap my mind around how it can apply toΓΒ some more complex areas. His examples all really deal withΓΒ markets/products that are easily definable, and the product isΓΒ quite specific. And the need is genuine and apparent.
That is one area where I am always looking for answers is inΓΒ my day job – financial planning. It’s something that everyoneΓΒ truly needs, and can do immensely better if they get some help,ΓΒ but no-one has any awareness of what they really need. AndΓΒ when there is a need – which there almost always is – theΓΒ solution can be so diverse – it is really hard to pin down anΓΒ Irresistible Offer.
Well on to my learning – I have become Warrior ForumΓΒ addicted – what a place to learn – amazing. Getting some realΓΒ great info there. And building some relationships as well.
Also picked up a few ebooks over the last week – some greatΓΒ packages flying around out there. I am getting better atΓΒ keeping track of what I have, and also skimming them over andΓΒ making notes so that I can later go back and use them as aΓΒ resource.
I think I mentioned I had picked up Tellman/Joyner ViralΓΒ Chemistry set – about 8 CD’s of great learning – some superΓΒ stuff.
Also listed lately to the latest Kennedy/Glazer CD from myΓΒ monthly membership – it was a great one on some real down to ΓΒ earth tactics!
So all in all, my mind is reeling from all the info. I gotΓΒ ideas coming out of each ear.
but I have been active too. – I have about half the adsenseΓΒ sites of mine up. I have some of the PLR packages re-workedΓΒ and up also. Want to put a few finishing touches on them andΓΒ then start marketing them.
One of those PLR packages I am in the process of takingΓΒ down, it wasn’t making much for sales the way it was, althoughΓΒ it was great info in the ebook. I am going to rework it into aΓΒ website, add some additional thoughts and content and offer itΓΒ for free as a resource site. If I link a number of affiliateΓΒ products to it, I think it will make a great marketing tool.
I will also will build a small report to try to get the viral thingΓΒ going, and refer back to the resource site. I think it will beΓΒ a real cornerstone to my Internet Marketing business as I move forward.
Keep moving ahead
Jack
