I always like to look back and see: what was working, what wasn’t working, what I did wrong, and, YES, what I did right. If I don’t learn from my past actions, I don’t know what to correct, and I don’t know how to shape my future plans.
STEP 1: When I started to do Internet Marketing, I booked 2 BIG Seminars (cost me thousands of dollars). They were good seminars according with the standards, what they revealed was right and true, but the knowledge was incomplete.
At home when I started to apply I discovered a lot of gray areas I know nothing about them. The old slogan: “if I did it you can do it too”, it was actually an empty promise without to reveal all the work details. The people are not equal in knowledge, abilities, and ambitions.
STEP 2: I did Internet Research; I bought all the e-books which I found to be related with the subjects of my interests.
STEP 3: After reading 10-15 e-books, when I had to make a plan for my actions, I had a complete block out. Especially for beginners, the overload of information is not always good, it can be rather confusing, trust me - it is true.
Step 4: Then a said, must be an easy way to start. I was sure that after a right start, the rest will follow naturally. I begin to read Articles, Newsletters, comments in Forums.
In this type of media the writers are less stiff, and the conversation is more natural and down the earth. The readers can participate commenting and this simple fact makes writers to be more honest.
This was how I discovered Lee’s Newsletter Website.
It was something about his style, he was a human being, not a guru, he was very organized, very enthusiastic, and he didn’t brag for the sake of bragging. He always offered reasons why, examples, made logic references. Later I discovered that he was a teacher, and I recognized the manners of a very good teacher.
As soon as I found out some unorthodox ideas I was caught on reading because I was curious, he definitely distanced himself from the crowd!
Examples:
How many people told you “the money is in the list”, implying that you have to have a huge list to be successful. Lee tells us “the money is not in the list, is in the relationship you build with your potential customers from your list”. You can create huge earnings from a small list as well.
Lee posted in his blog 28 Marketing Tools that he use daily bases and they are FREE for everybody to use it.
I learn that it is a big difference between marketing aggressively from time to time, and doing dishonest marketing, “doing whatever it takes to close a selling deal”.
Lee is an open mind. In one of Newsletters he discusses: why 95% of people who try Internet Marketing and up failing, why the technique of “faking it until you make it” is not working anymore. And so on.
The best benefit for me was: “don’t cut and paste somebody else “advice”, letter, emails, landing page. Distance to the crowd being you, be original, don’t brag, and just show results.” WOW! he was right!
I paid so much attention to Lee McIntyre comments in his Newsletters because I had to find an honest answer for a crucial question, and I had the filling that I got my answers.
The question was:
How a beginner who doesn’t have gazillion success stories, testimonials etc. can penetrate the brick wall if Internet Marketing. If you are there it is easier to maintain the status, but what you should do to get there, in the first place. Please notice that I said the wall is a brick wall!
Other great benefit: I was convinced that the old methods didn’t work now. Lee opens my eyes: that means it is a huge opportunity right now for marketers to understand the process, and do Internet Marketing the right way.
To be honest, I have to correct my impulse of doing work in a hurry; I learn to be patient and to do consistent work to reach my success.
Some time I was unhappy that the answers coming from Lee’s helpdesk are not in the time frame I expect, but I learn to live with it, because he is mentoring a huge crowd.
I develop the skills of researching myself to find answers in the vast materials he offers in Standing Start Profit or Lee McIntyre Newsletter, and this worked on my advantage.
In a nut shell:
- Be you, don’t copy others emails, bragging style, pre-sell technique
- Treat people like you like to be treated by others
- Deliver amazing content, the product must be pack full of value
- The magic bullet is not a huge list; it is the relationship you build with your list
- Treat affiliates with excellent and generous manners, these are people whom you share there assets to build your own success
- Set clear goals for the future and then work hard to achieve them
- YES, I changed my habits of doing business and I have changed my life.
