I’m really sorry to mess you around but I’m going to have to ask you not to bother doing that mailing.<\/em><\/p>\n I am getting out of the ‘marketing\/make money’ niche and concentrating on teaching.<\/em><\/p>\n Sorry and thanks for all your support.<\/em><\/p>\n Rob<\/em><\/p>\n So I responded.<\/strong><\/p>\n Wow, I’ve never had anyone to tell me not to do a mailing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n No problem, keep me updated with what you have going on.<\/p>\n Regards,<\/p>\n John<\/p>\n The response was.<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m not sure I’ll ever go into the marketing niche again – the whole scene sickens me to be honest but you – you will remain, along with Randy Smith, as the ONLY people I have come across online (in that niche) who I feel are\u00a0 REAL, trustworthy people. <\/em><\/p>\n Everyone else I have met (and I have paid some of them a LOT of money are, in my mind (and sorry to be blunt) full of s**t. They are all very friendly and promise a lot until they get your money and then you never hear from them again. It just seems to be a festival of greed and I want no part of it.<\/em><\/p>\n You were different John, and along with Randy, the only one I would ever approach again.<\/em><\/p>\n Thanks very much for sticking to your word and I’m sorry I let you down.<\/em><\/p>\n All the best mate,<\/em><\/p>\n Rob<\/em><\/p>\n That sort of saddens me, the fact someone is so disgusted with the Internet Marketing scene that they have gotten out of it altogether.<\/p>\n Rob feels he has been let down by so many marketers online that he’s had enough, and can you blame him when all we get is a bunch of crap thrown at us every single day. In fact I bet if you looked at the last 100 emails you have received from marketers 99% would be hype filled pitches and most of the products getting pitched will be the usual hype filled crap.<\/p>\n IT HAS TO STOP! <\/strong>I personally believe over time it will stop as some marketers are suffering big style. I have heard reports of marketers losing their Aweber accounts because of complaints, marketers struggling to keep afloat as they can’t make sales anymore. People un-subscribing in their thousands and launches failing to make enough money to pay out the JV prize money because their last product had an 80% refund rate.<\/p>\n WELL THEY SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE CREATING AND SENDING CRAP TO THEIR MOST VALUABLE ASSET, THEIR SUBSCRIBERS.<\/strong><\/p>\n Maybe if they stopped using actors on their sales pages, actually completed the product before launching it, provided support and made sure the product delivered value the IM Industry wouldn’t be in this mess right now. So don’t fall into the trap of thinking the way these guys market is the way to go because it’s not.<\/p>\n Promoting an ethical product.<\/strong><\/p>\n You may recall last week I promoted the Internet Marketing Apprentice<\/a>. (IMA) Guess how much I’ve earned so far?<\/p>\n Nothing… zip… nada…. <\/strong><\/p>\n This was because I worked with Randy and Craig to give my most valuable asset, my subscribers the best deal possible. This was an exclusive $1 trial with a very very low monthly payment if they were happy with IMA. I may earn a few dollars in recurring billing sales but that’s not why I promoted IMA. I promoted IMA because it gives real value<\/strong> to people that want to get started online. I also tried to educate my subscribers about the whole sales process so even if they didn’t buy they would still learn something.<\/p>\n I could have promoted the latest hyped up 6 click piece of garbage with some hippy, a guy in a private jet or even an ex stripper selling the product and made a ton of extra sales (although most sales would have been refunded) but I’d rather give value, it’s not about the affiliate earnings, it’s about providing value<\/strong> and that’s how it should be with you.<\/p>\n Give and you shall receive!<\/strong><\/p>\n Guess what else I did last week? I held my first office visit as part of my Killer Content bonus. Dave Taylor drove 4 hours to visit me at my office, we discussed his business in great detail and he left my office with a plan, all free of charge.<\/p>\n Me selling something to him was the furthest thing from my mind. However, because I have helped him so much he wants to be part of my $5,000 1 on 1 coaching program in the near future. You can check out some pics and read Dave’s story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n CAN YOU SEE A PATTERN HERE?<\/strong><\/p>\n Give your most valued assets your time and help them as much as you possibly can and they will want to work (and spend money) with you.<\/p>\n I hope this post makes sense because if it doesn’t your business could be in serious trouble.<\/p>\n As always please feel free to comment and let me know what you think of the state of the IM Industry right now.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planetsmsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/John-Visit-639-300x200.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" "\\"John-Visit-639-300x200\\"")
