Failure ~ Why Most Marketers and Businesses Fail - Part 1

CustomerThey don’t have any Customers!

Frickin duh!

Then you have to ask, if they are in business — why don’t they have any Customers?

Well, let’s break it down.

First of all… most do not have any kind of a plan at all. I know this for a fact, as I talk to a lot of these ‘failing’ folks — and they confirm it.

Just yesterday, I was speaking with a gentleman about my age who called me about iBuzzPro — he was recently ‘canned’ from his job.

He’d read all the ‘get rich quick’ affiliate web sites… bought a few of the Hypster’s products… built a web site promoting some different products and nothing — not a sale.

He seemed very surprised… I wasn’t — heard it all before.

Clipmarks Unleashed ~ Link Building and Traffic Generation

Clipmarks Unleashed... Link Building and Traffic GenerationClipmarks Unleashed

I’m trying to think back… did I owe $5500 or was it $7500 on my Amazon Chase credit card before I finally paid it off — okay, I’ll come clean; it was $7500… damn!!

That’s a chunk of cash.

I know that $7500 is not a lot to some people… but it was huge to me at the time… but when I finally maxed that card out and could not use it any more — it was the best thing that could have happened for my business (I did not think so at that time though). Continued

Is Google Bankrupt…

Well, it was bound to happen.

You did not really think this could go on forever, right?

Some of the largest companies on the planet have either gone bust, or they were purchased simply for the assets they still owned and split up.

But this is not the case with Google. Surely you did not think Google was one of those companies (or were you just hoping so). In fact, from everything I have read it is just a matter of time until they become “Masters of the Universe“.

Years back, I thought it would be Microsoft that became the Master of the Universe - but it appears it will in fact be Google.

So no, Google is not bankrupt - but they have caused a few bankruptcies on their quest for domination of the universe.

With the stronghold they have on the Internet, it would not surprise me if in a few short years that we will be saying jump on “The Google” and see what you can find - instead of saying “The Internet or Web”.

Stay on Target

"Stay on Target"…. the first time I ever heard that phrase was one Saturday while I was channel surfing and landed on one of those old black and white War movies.

I had forgot about that phrase until last night when I made a comment to a post on a forum.

I went off into a mild rant… nothing major - just gave my thoughts on the new ebook they were talking about.

One of the hardest things for me personally is to "stay on target" with my marketing. Every day there is something new with the latest and greatest mind blowing - traffic generating - product developing piece of software while doing it all sitting in my underwear or even while you are lounging in Hawaii.

I’ll be the first to admit, I used to be a sucker for all the latest and greatest stuff - I’d even say I was a "serial" purchaser - buying every new product and joining just about every new  membership site on the web. I was an info junkie. No… I would say I was a pure "Addict."

I’ve pretty much given up buying every latest gizmo that comes out and it has not affected me in the least - but I do at times have withdrawal symptoms.

It can truly become like an addiction that we can justify to ourselves.

I know that whenever I bought some "latest and greatest" ebook or software I knew it would benefit my business. But the reality of it is that it does not. It might sometimes - but I’d dare to say 95% of the time it doesn’t.

What buying all of this stuff really does is gives you a false sense of security in thinking you are moving forward. Some products do in fact help, but the majority do not. Most of the time - you wind up losing your focus on what you were doing, and jump off into some new direction.

As many "latest and greatest" products that come out - you will never be able to build a sustainable business changing course or methods all the time.

What you really need to do is quit buying every new product that comes down the pipe and put to use the knowledge you already have. You already know more than you think you do.

Think about it. How many of your friends or family members know how to do what you already know? In the majority of cases it will be very few.

So stop the insanity and put into practice what you already know. There is no "magic bullet"… there are no real "secrets"… maybe some methods you do not use - but not secrets.

This statement hit home with me personally, so I will share it here;

"Losers are always waiting for inspiration…. while the Winners just roll up their sleeves and do the job."

So like the title says above….

Stay on Target! and just do what you already know.

Drive More Traffic to Your Web Site using YouTube

I’ve used video to drive thousands of visitors to my web sites - so I know for a fact this stuff works. When combined with writing good compelling content, you truly have a powerhouse system for attracting visitors.

There’s some good info in this video series. There is a lot of stuff to learn - but you have a full 90 days to watch everything and put it into practice.

I cannot believe that most people (YouTube publishers) do not even use one of the most basic tips outlined in these videos. If they did… they could be driving thousands of visitors a day to their web sites, or affiliate programs they promote.

For the money - this is hands down the best video course on using the free video sites to drive traffic to your site.

GoTryThis Blackhat Version Available

If you told me I could only keep 5 tools - GoTryThis Blackhat would be one of them.

GoTryThis was voted the "Best Internet Marketing Product" of the year in 2006 and with good reason. I will not get into all the stuff you can do with it - you can get all that off the sales page.

John is only releasing 300 copies this go round - just checked and there is 285 left - sold 15 in just a few minutes.

So you will know - I have GoTryThis Blackhat installed on every site I own (yes, even this blog). There is a work around for using it on a blog (issues with re write mod for using it on a blog) - if you get it let me know and I’ll tell you how to set it up. He tells how in the forum, but it is not real clear.

He must need some money for something as he is selling it for $197.00 - I paid $247.00 for it myself.

Like I said… this is one product I can truly endorse.

Oh yea… watch some of what it can do in the video below - just added this today (10/26/2007).

Mega Traffic Secrets Video (Intro 3)

Assaulting the Web Mega Traffic Secrets Video Intro 3.

Mike Jones released yet another Video on what Mega Traffic Secrets is all about.

This video intro shows how he made over $40,000 from a banner that cost him $2000 to run.

He gives a lot of details in this video. Where he placed the video… click through rate - the conversions. It is truly astonishing that he made a return of over 20 times what the ad cost to run. I must admit - I’ve never had a return of 20 times on any ad I ever ran. To be very clear - his return was not 20 per cent  - his actual return was over 2000 per cent! It is like he bet on the 20 to 1 long shot at the track and won.

Even though it seems like I am "Hyping" up and Recommending Mega Traffic Secrets - I’m not really.

I like what I see so far, but I’ve not seen any more of the program than what you have seen on my site. I’m very interested in Mega Traffic Secrets for myself and coaching members. But I cannot recommend something I’ve never seen. I do recommend you follow along and see what else Mike shares in his videos though.

Here is some additional info he released earlier today on what the course is about;

Until he actually launches - this is more than likely my last post on Mega Traffics Secrets Assaulting the Web.

Assaulting the Web Review - Intro Video (Part 1)

Assaulting the Web with Mega Traffic Secrets.

Let me start off by saying this is a "Preview Video" Review.

I’ve not seen the actual product yet… but from what I can tell from the initial intro videos (if it delivers), this is going to be a full fledged coaching program (and a damn good one at that).

Keep in mind… I reserve the right to change my mind since I have not yet reviewed it - might be junk for all we know - we will see.

This was taken right off of the Assaulting the Web sales letter;

"Assaulting the Web with Mega Traffic Secrets… How a Ridiculously Simple Auto Pilot Traffic Technique generated us $4,571,930.35 In One Year"

I’ve watched a total of four Assaulting the Web intro videos… so far it looks pretty impressive… most of the "Pie In the Sky"  programs do sound good reading the sales letter - so we will see.

That’s all I have for you right now… I’ll do a "Part 2" update as soon as I can get a link to the rest of the intro videos.

So hang tight and check back in later today.

In the meantime… watch the three minute intro below of Assaulting the Web.

Become Rich and Famous with Your Own Web TV Show

Well… maybe not Rich, but you can become Famous!

A few days ago I logged into a site I’m a member of,  askMrVideo and Perry had a link to his askMrVideo Channel at Justin.tv.

At first, it seemed a bit weird that I was watching him. I felt like a Peeping Tom. He knew someone was watching him - as the Admin display lets you know how many people are viewing your channel - but until you register and log in, they do not know who is watching.

When you register, this allows you to chat with the channel owner - and they at least know who you are (your username - not your real identity).

Well… I chatted with Perry for a bit… asked him a few questions on a video project I’m working on - shared a few sites with each other, and I logged off his channel and went exploring.

While exploring and watching some of the channels on Justin.TV, one of  Jeff Foxworthy’s jokes popped into my head;

"If you ever think you have a screwed up family… just visit the State Fair."

If you had rather skip going to the Fair - just visit Justin.TV instead.

So they would not know who was watching, I logged out and went  into "Peeping Tom" mode to watch some of the freak shows.

First, I watched a chanel called "etard_webcam" - he had like 150 viewers when I started watching. This guy was talking about how he use to fight when he was a kid… the drugs he did - just off the wall stuff about his life, etc. I was amazed that he had 150+ people watching his channel… just goes to show people are easily entertained (have to admit - after watching him a bit it was becoming interesting seeing a guy spill his guts).

After I got bored with "etard" talking about how he use to fight all the time when he was a kid and the drugs he did - I decided to view a few more channels.

I’m not going to list them… but one of the channels was of a girl laying on her bed - watching regular tv and picking her belly button at the same time (Foxworthy’s joke came to mind with this one). Why in the world would you dig around in your belly button while the world can watch?

This channel was listed as one of the most Popular.

I clicked on another Popular link - laying in bed was a lady sleeping. Not sure why you would have a live feed of you sleeping… but to each their own I guess. Maybe it was for security reasons? Guess she could have some of her viewers call the police if someone tried to break into her place and grab her - just a thought.

I could go on… but I think you get my drift.

Now, anybody (or any idiot) can broadcast an Internet television show in real time - or you can record it for later.

Another site much like Justin.TV is ustream.tv - allows you to basically do the same thing.

All you need is a ten dollar web cam, broadband connection and obviously a computer - and you are on your way to becoming a Famous internet personality (famous for what is the question).

Here is a link where you can watch Perry’s askMrVideo channel. If you have any video related questions, he will answer them for you. Perry’s channel did not remind me of Foxwothy’s joke.

That’s it for now - but let me warn you. You can burn up a lot of time on these sites. So do not visit them if you have anything important or work to do.
