Thumbs up Cool Down Michael

Hi Michael,

One should be positive enough to face
challenges in life.

You should dare enough to get started
and everything gets started on a big IF.

If I start an internet business there's a chance
of making profits. IF I don't then there's no
chance of being successful. So you should see
on the positive side and take a chance.

So you need to get started with atleast
something and a BIG IF.

If one is not ready to face IF's then probably
one is NOT ready for success.

I may be wrong but that's what I believe and
feel.

I started my first 2 sites saying IF I do it
they might be successful.

And they bombed. Then I started my third
site again saying IF I apply the 6 step system
it MIGHT succeed and it DID.

So fortunately you need to get started with
something with IF and MIGHT and then face
many challenges and struggle and put a whole
lot of dedication to make it successful.

Even a super successful internet marketer
will NOT tell you that you WILL succeed reading
their ebook or purchasing their software.

They will advise you that this is what I have done
and if you do it you MIGHT succeed and IF you
put your dedication in it with posititive attitude
this MIGHT be the solution to your success. IF not
then I will provide you a refund.

I am not saying that you are wrong. It is possible
that the 6 step system might have not worked for you,
so you are arguing on it.

But it has worked for me only because I tried it
out with a big IF. And after struggle and some failures
and with a BIG learning curve things will start working
fine.

Here are the 6 steps which I had mentioned in
the previous post...

STEP 1. Create a lead capturing minisite. If you've been
on internet for a while I am sure that you have seen
a lead capturing page on almost all the sites that do
serious marketing. It will exist on all the websites of
successful internet marketers too, why they do it, beause
it works.

STEP 2. Use a smart autoresponder. I am sure that you
know this is the MOST important tool you will need
to get started with your internet business. Everyone
uses it. Am I right?

STEP 3. Create ecourse. That's simply to create a bait
to get them in your follow up system and bribe
them to give their email address. I am sure you
agree with me that ecourse, miniebook or anything
quality for free will boost relationship with the subscriber.

STEP 4. Promote Your lead page. This is basics, you've
to promote it to make your site work. No one can
argue on this that you shouldn't promote your site.
Am I wong with this ?

STEP 5. Create ezine and newsletter. I am sure that you
have seen ezine and newsletter on almost every site
that really knows how to make long term profits and
build strong relationship with their list. Is there anything
wrong in doing this, if yes, let me know?

STEP 6. Send them offers periodically. This is not wrong, you
have to make money at the end. I am sure you see
offers in your mailbox from top guru's every now and
then and you might have even purchased products from
recommendations of top internet marketers whom you trust.
Why is this so, that's because of the 6 steps working above.

I can understand that you're trying to say that there are
many variables in using the above system and lots of
loop holes like spam issues, people unsubscribing every now
and then and lots of other stuff.

But you cannot ignore that the above 6 steps is the
bread and butter of the internet marketers and they
follow a systematic plan to execute the above system
even though there are many complications that arise due
to the regular nature of internet.

However I am not against your opinion, you're right
in your way, but what I am saying is that this is
not something to be completely ignored by a newbie
or anyone who is thinking about starting an internet business.

Capturing a lead, that's a prospective customer, building
relationship with the lead and selling them is a very powerful
marketing tactic not only used online but is also used offline
by big corporates, banks, credit card companies and was also
a part of direct marketing since ages.

Yes, things are difficult but one cannot ignore about the
importance of putting the 6 step system in any campaign
only thinking that whether it MIGHT work or NOT.

Thanks,
Murtuza Abbas.

Default You Ain't Seen Me Un-Cool

Murtuza,

Thanks for coming back in.

You are Obviously NEW here. Otherwise you would Know I am Cooled Down - cause you ain't seen me heated... yet.

You can Sugar-Coat it any way you like, those IFs make the entire System - or should I say, Advice - useless as far as being able to be implemented into something which will make someone money. And this 6 Step System you espouse is Not all there is to it, or the Only way. There are people making money Without this 6 Step System.

If you start an Internet Business (whatever That is/means) there's also a chance of wasting a Lot of time and money and ending up with nothing. If you don't (start an internet business) that doesn't mean there's no chance of success as you imply, it just means you won't make money online - there is Still plenty of money to be made Offline in the really real world.

You SHOULD not do something because someone else tells you you should. You would be Wise to do Due Diligence - And - take with a grain of salt any advice to Take A Chance when given by someone who is selling something telling you how to make money.

I am reminded by the words of Mike Enlow: "there are more people selling information about how to make money on the internet, than there are people making money on the internet."

And I'll add... the Big Names you hear about make money sell "how to make money online" info. and nothing more. Meaning, they made there money telling others how to make money online, without themselves actually having made money online selling something else using the System they say will work.

As far as I know there is One exception. Cory Rudl. Who sold Car Buying info Before revealing the system he used to sell that info.

Sorry, Murtuza. Those of us with a few years under our belt of being online, have seen plenty of people like you. Fly in with all the wonderful "advice" of making money online, yet not having made money online selling anything other than their make money online course.

Ross, out.

Michael Ross

Default Re: FREE gift for your Thanksgiving day reading...

Telling people to "cool down" again... you are insulting people.. why?

I am gonna say it again here... why are you spamming boards?
I already advised you on the "how to" forum.. as a mod.. but did you listen? NO.

Gee.. when will you learn Mr Abbas!

I am watching you on how to forum.. and cannot believe you are STILL doing this on other forums?

Rob
