Internet Marketing Recovery Program
I have had this situation for some time with a poor soul who is trying to join our program but who has had various issues from technical to internet marketing mind bogglement. He writes long, rambling diatribes about other affiliate programs, his personal situation, etc. At times he has infuriated me as he didn’t appear to be receiving my simple instructions and we never get it resolved.
Finally I received one today with the subject ‘Need Recovery Program’ and I felt he was really reaching out for help and I don’t mean the technical or customer support variety. He is so discouraged and has tried so many different ’schemes’ only to find he has wasted a ton of money and feels he has to give up on his dream because he is inept and a total failure.
Brother, can I relate to that! Just about every point he made I could understand perfectly what he was feeling. I am really busy and planned to write to him later sometime but I knew I could not conscionably just ignore him. Then I couldln’t do my work until I responded. It came out rather well I felt, probably because of the empathy and passion I feel. I would like to share it for other lost souls who feel they need a hand to recover their bearings.
XXX, what can I say - ‘been there done that’, or something trite. Some other better things are ’sayings’. Here are a few that are relevant to your situation:
‘You can’t fail unless you quit’
‘Success is just getting past all the failures’
‘Success is still spelled w-o-r-k’
‘Think marathon, not sprint’
‘Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are probably right’
Every single person who ever ‘made it’ failed several times along the way. Don’t beat yourself up -
Here are some observations which I can share, since you have chosen to share your feelings with me, please consider my feedback.
There are some pretty classic symptoms that I have personally experienced and overcome that I sense you too are afflicted with at this juncture:
Information Overload (I don’t care how smart you are, you can only assimilate so may new concepts and strange terminology at once) You need to focus on one thing at a time.
Business Opportunity Addiction - Again this is dangerous because (a) you can’t focus on anything long enough to produce results because you are always on to the next one and the next one, and (b) the money thing.
Marketing Tool Obsession - Same as above plus stick with what is recommended by someone you trust. Realize that most gimmicks simply don’t work - The search engines want valid links and content from a legitimate business/website. They don’t like tricks that make it seem like someone is more than what they actually are.
Fear of Failure - Being self-employed and doing sales or marketing is not the same as doing X job for XX hours to get XXXX amount of money. There may be long periods where you have to keep motivated without seeing any tangible results. Marketing is a numbers game and you have to put out a ton of effort just to see a small conversion.
You can’t allow yourself to get discouraged because it is not only counter-productive but can actually be fatal to your dream.
Near Bankruptcy - self-explanatory
Magical thinking - No such thing as your computer becomes like a big slot machine and spits out cash just by virtue of the fact you threw up a website. You have to market the programs consistently and aggressively over a long enough time to produce results.
Gambling Addiction (don’t kid yourself this is gambling) Don’t gamble with more than you can afford to lose.
The Magic Matrix Delusion (the reason they implode is because everybody thinks someone else will do the work and they just sit there and wait).
There is no free lunch.
There is no magic
There is no such thing as ‘get rich quick’
Autopilot - Something many people misconstrue is the word ‘autopilot’. It does not mean there is no work or learning involved.
Take our program for example. We build you a fully-functional website for free (all you pay is your own domain & hosting).
OK this is automatic for real.
Your site is displayed on the internet 24/7*
The affiliate programs that we ask you to join (4 are free and 2 are optional and not free) will give you affiliate IDs. You give them to us and we build the site with the IDs embedded on the website.
The affiliate programs handle all your sales for you. That is they take the order, they provide the service or product, they deliver it, they do the billing or payment process, they pay the commissions. THIS IS AUTOPILOT.
All of the above does not construe that you sit out by the pool now. Your ‘job’ is to vigorously promote the website by using as many techniques as you can, OVER TIME.
There are many free ways to promote your site - and again I don’t mean gimmicks. I mean w-o-r-k. That is principally by these methods (right now) blogging, submitting articles to directories, posting in forums, all with your URL in the signature to create backlinks to your site from where these are published on the internet.
Search engine optimization of your site content, and all ad copy including all of the above, by the use of relevant keywords. F-R-E-E - NO TRICKS - NO GIMMICKS.
Well I could go on, but I will give you a break. If it is any consolation to you I have never heard of anyone who actually got anything from XXXX Wealth Package and XXXX seems to have removed them. I hear about them several times a day - always in the same context as what you wrote almost word for word. {Never got my $3000 site, could never figure out how to launch it, could not get a response to my support requests}
So my last thing to say to you is YOU NEED TO TAKE A REST FROM THIS - When I started I got so wound up and addicted and discouraged that I had to take a full 3 MONTHS AWAY from my computer. The only thing I did was answer personal emails and maybe play a few games but internet marketing, home business and affiliate programs WAS OUT OF SITE AND OUT OF MIND.
Then when I felt like I could think straight again (clue was I didn’t get dizzy when I thought of the business I so wanted and needed to start), I started in again TAKING THINGS IN CHUNKS, ONE AT A TIME. FOCUSED. RATIONAL. METHODICAL.
I am still no millionaire after 3 years but I am loving my life working from home, making enough to live pretty comfortably (and I could make more if I would just apply myself more). I don’t have the commute blues and the only traffic I worry about is the traffic everyone prays will go to their websites; I have no nasty, surly boss; I take cat naps, get up when I want. You can’t beat working at home with a stick!
