A rant to the newbies of IM!

Dear newbies,

i am talking to those whom haven't made a single dollar online and those who have been in the game less than 6 to 12 months.

Now i see many complaints that "gurus" take advantage of the newbies and always leave a piece of the puzzle out, give out crap products.

I am hear to say that yes some of your complaints are valid, yes some gurus give out crap full of hype and fluff products, most leave out a little piece that leave you feeling where do i start now after reading an ebook or watching a video.

But let me ask you, after reading your product do you:

A) forget about what you have read

B) disappointed because what you read requires actual work, so you go out and buy a "magic bullet solution"

C) apply what you have read and make mistakes but try again until you have it correct and making money?

well obviously number c isnt the answer because you arent making money and no i am not trying to be an ass.

you need to apply what you are reading and stop buying so many products because reading doesnt make you money trying a campaign and failing and trying agin until you have your own little winning formula makes you money.

as for the missing piece, this is you and your own "flavor as you will", if 2 people try to bake a cake and using the same recipe the cakes turn out different, why because the 2 have their own way of adding ingredients, one will always add more of something, also the methodology will be slightly different, like how you mix the ingredients together that will determine the consistency of the end cake.

i have my stengths and weaknesses, i hate article marketing but love press releases, so i use my own press release marketing strategy which i got by combinig a couple of others strategy.

you need to decide what you feel is right for you and go for it.

and you will make mistakes, in products you will see how easily the guru does things, the only reason for this is because they have done it a hundred or thousand times and you havent yet.

BE PERSISTENT AND STICK TO ONE THING AT A TIME!

lets also get a discussion here so the newbies that dont have a mentor can buy some good quality products.


i have a few.

Ewen chia is great for technical stuff and very basic broad IM strategies, he is a good start.

Stephen Pierce is good for blogging and is good for motivation.

The war room (on this forum) is great for free products that will educate you on a broad range of things.

please add more as you will.
