Expect Nothing, Stay Happy
By Donesia Muhammad Platinum Quality Author
 
If there is one thing that is very hard to maintain online
is integrity and honesty.
 
And also patience..
 
Patience in waiting for those sales to fly in.
 
Hoping that you do not get so frustrated that you close up
shop and never venture online again.
 
We all go through this every now and then. The frustration
sets in and you just don't know what to do.
 
We all learn through various methods how to get started
online but there are a few things that people don't teach
you.
 
Normally when you look at other ways to make a profit, the
first thing most people do is to go to those sites and
publishers who they believe can steer them in the right
direction.
 
But then you start to see certain sales tactics that you
become hip to and wonder why they do it in the first place.
 
Some are ethical and some are not. The legality is not the
issue, but it does raise a few moral eyebrows.
 
Although I am sure it is billed as a good sales tool, what
I get tired of seeing sometimes are the ezines that start
out by giving you a good speech about changing your life
and making money and to not fall for the hype, and it all
ends with a link to some new ebook or a new private site.
 
As if that is supposed to be the answer to all your
business and financial problems.
 
It is at that point that I think to myself, " did this
publisher even care about me in the first place to actually
give me free advice or is it
 
"FREE WITH A CATCH MARKETING "
 
Oh I see what you want. Sucker me into thinking you really
have the fix for a great business online when you are just
trying to sell an ebook or a course.
 
Now of course one of the main goals in a free ezine is to
hopefully generate an income through advertising and other
forms of back end sales
 
But at what cost.
 
I grow tired of some people telling me this is THE book for
you when last month you were telling me about another book
that was THE ONE.
 
Remember of course the one has to be an ebook priced at
least $90 so they can get a great commission from it.
 
No one says you are not supposed to sell ebooks, I have
sold enough in my days, but it is just the way you present
yourself.
 
I know that there are marketing methods out there that I
have not even begun to understand but I understand common
sense and that alone knocks out a lot of the so called
marketing methods.
 
I know from a stand point, anyone who has been online for
less than 2 years is a Newbie and they prey on this.
 
I don't like that method, thinking we are too stupid to
figure out the basics.
 
Now I do feel that you should learn the basics of human
behavior to understand the psychology of why people buy and
what helps them to buy. People do buy on emotions and it
just depends on how bad you want to play on that factor.
 
Just as when you are looking to see what is wrong with a
person, you have to look at their background ( childhood)
first before any assumptions are made.
 
That is just plain old business common sense right there.
But I am not talking about that but the whole concept of :
 
"You are too stupid to know why I am selling you this over
hyped book which contains nothing more than a bunch of
fancy words and still no real help"
 
I can't tell you that the money is in the list and then
expect you to just figure out how to start a newsletter.
 
I can't tell you to join every high paying commission
affiliate program and then not tell you how to market the
site.
 
I can't tell you that this book will make you rich when all
it may do is lead you down a path that you didn't want to
take in the first place. ( We have all been there, you
wanted to sell some teddy bears online, next thing you know
you are members of a bunch of forced matrix programs that
have nothing to do with your original purpose)
 
I know most of us want an easy way of living so they assume
that they can find it online.
 
Remember a lot of these "experts" became that way years ago
when no one knew any better. No one knew about spam,
pyramid schemes, and other cons, so it was easy back then.
 
When there was free web hosting, free internet service,
free everything.
 
Now folks are trying to make us pay to send email. It has
become a mad rush to grab everyone's attention because the
next month our brains will no longer have an interest.
 
NOW I SEE THE PROBLEM
 
Remember in the beginning, you have all your morals and
ethics intact and they are not changing.
 
6 months down the line, you are getting discouraged and you
start to look at those other programs you were not going to
get into.
 
12 months down the line, you are running yourself ragged
trying to build a downline.
 
18 months later, you wonder, what the heck am I doing.
 
I am still broke, and I can't figure out where I went
wrong.
 
But all your morals and ethics flew out the door about 9
months ago and you didn't even realize it.
 
There is nothing wrong with reading ebooks, eCourses, or
any other type of help to get you started online
 
But do not expect it to solve your problems.
 
EXPECT NOTHING, STAY HAPPY
 
Instead of complaining about how many people DID NOT sign
up for your ezine this week, be grateful for those that DID
sign up.
 
Instead of complaining of low traffic, low sales, be
grateful for what you DID get.
 
Am I established?? Some big marketer going around buying
flashy cars, and going on expensive trips.
 
Oh please I am just getting started.
 
Even after a year and a half I am still learning the ropes.
 
I still have my no sales days like everyone else.
 
But this gives me a chance to take care of things that I
wouldn't have the chance to do when everything is hectic.
 
Like they always say.. Everything happens for a reason.
 
Don't try to figure it out just stick to your goals.
 
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK AND WATCH YOUR BACK
 
Now here is a topic you don't hear about much often. As
with any business, there is always competition and
competition is rough out there.
 
It can get pretty cut throat at times.
 
Remember in the office when you had an idea to tell the
boss but you told your co-worker and they in turn took the
idea to your boss before you had a chance to even print out
your proposal.
 
Same thing online.
 
WATCH YOUR BACK ON DISCUSSION LISTS, CHAT ROOMS, MESSAGE
BOARDS
 
You never know who is reading. Remember most of these
forums are public forums. Just because you don't see that
person post doesn't mean they are not reading.
 
I have seen people talk all types of trash about others on
these boards only to see their same words come back to
haunt them later on. Be careful
 
Don't be so quick to throw names with situations
 
Don't be so quick to respond to certain sticky situations,
it comes back to haunt you in the worst ways.
 
This isn't like in high school, if you talked trash, kids
were waiting for you at 3 o'clock in the playground ( Hey
I'm from Brooklyn, it's a New York thing)
 
Well now they wait to get you where it hurts, your
business, and therefore your pockets.
 
False spam complaints Server Issues Stealing Customers
 
You know... the business version of Backbiting.
 
Because we are online, our words count for our reputation,
our business, our livelihood. You are judged by your words
first, everything else comes second.
 
Remember that the next time you want to:
 
Trash a competitor Develop a new product or service Reveal
information about yourself that can give someone access to
your accounts and your pc.
 
It still takes a lot for me to trust anyone, sending a few
emails back and forth does not mean that you are now my
buddy and you should have access to my business deals. The
ones that I trust I have known for years, so just keep
certain things to yourself no matter what.
 
THE ONLY TRUE PERSON STOPPING YOU IS YOU
 
If you want something done, you are going to have to rely
on yourself
 
DIG DEEP DOWN to find the strength to continue.
 
When another day goes by without a sale and you are ready
to seriously just cash in your chips and bow out, hold
tight
 
DIG DEEP Within Yourself And Pull Yourself Up.
 
No one can do it but you.
 
No one knows what you really want but you, so who is going
to help you first and foremost. you
 
Of course you should have a great support network of
friends and family who are there to help you and guide you.
 
Not those who are happy to see you fail.
 
Those are the toxic people you need to avoid.
 
So for all my online friends who are always there to help
me and to pick me up when I am down, thank you.
 
Trust me when I tell you I get to the point sometimes where
I am ready to just completely throw the towel in and just
accept failure and stand still.
 
To accept failure is to stand still in your emotions and
goals.
 
Me, nope sorry, I will never stand still, no matter how hard
it seems.
 
EXPECT NOTHING, STAY HAPPY!

Climb Aboard the Boat to Success 
by Denise Hall
 
Viral Marketing is the fastest way to generate more traffic,
sales and opt-in list members. It works in a way similar to
viruses that cause the common cold, spreading from one person to
another very quickly. Yet many Internet marketers don't use
Viral Marketing techniques, and, as a result, they're missing
the boat to bigger and better profits.
 
Definition of Viral Marketing: a method that causes people to
pass on your marketing message to others.
 
As an Internet marketer, you must "brand" yourself among
prospects in your target market. Just as a virus can be passed
from person to person, so can your marketing message. And, like
a good joke, gossip or a rumor, it spreads like wildfire.
 
Creating a free e-book or report, for example, to offer your
website visitors or ezine subscribers keeps your name or product
in front of them. How? By including links to your website or
affiliate programs within the e-book.
 
And by giving them an incentive to pass along your report to
others, you'll create a turbo-charged Viral Marketing machine.
Simply allowing them to brand the e-book with their name and
website URL will get the ball rolling.
 
You don't have to create your own e-book, though. There are
plenty of good ones available. Just be sure the information is
something your website visitors are interested in and you'll see
how quickly your traffic will increase because your link is in
front of them as they read it.
 
That's just one Viral Marketing method. There are many, and
successful marketers use several of them combined in order to
maximize the effects. In fact, it's how most of them became
successful.

Don't miss the boat to success... start your own marketing virus
and reap the rewards.
