Comments on: Damn it! Buy From Me Already! http://aureliustjin.com/damn-it-buy-from-me-already Internet Marketing Blog by Aurelius Tjin sharing tips on traffic, SEO, affiliate marketing, self-improvement and website design...

I'm trying to build a site with products, downloads and resource links I believe best serve my visitors. When I started in this business, I naively ended up on hundreds of mailing lists and took an unintentional crash course in IM. It would have been nice to find a handful of genuinely helpful sites where I could find just about everything I needed, run but marketers I could interact with and trust. At the end of the day, we need to turn a good profit, but I'd rather be proud of the way I do business than be rich because I relentlessly sledge-hammered thousands of people with the latest, greatest product launches every few days. I agree with you, Aurelius.

And eventually the industry itself? Perhaps what would work best for me is the way salespeople treat me. Customers have a mind of their own. As you wrote, marketers shouldn't insult them or treat them like they aren't capable of making their own decisions. Won’t under pricing just end up killing all the other competitors?

Funny though. Yes, there is alot of competition to grab attention. JV firesales, Online Webinars by a group of well-known Gurus and everybosy trying to promote them with their BONUS offers to add value etc. At the end of the day, which of these offers will bring true results is what matters and sustain the credibility of the promoters. For beginners, just pick one niche area of making money online and focus on it. Don't be distracted by so many great offers, otherwise we will not achieve anything concrete. Just my 2 cents worth.

Newbies really need to start with affiliate marketing for a while that way they understand marketing. then after they can make their own products but only if they have some sort of decent content. There is no point saying something like "killer secrets" if its just a few common things. People want truth not over the top crazy exaggeration. Yeah thats true nikki.

I think the underlying issue with the market today is that there has been an influx of new marketers who believe they can only sell internet marketing products. As a flow on effect we now see more and more PLR content and new marketers are told "put your name on it and sell it as your own" So in effect we now have 20 copies of the exact same product just with different packaging and names. Because new marketers still are unsure of what they're doing they buy more and more marketing products - popup/under/over/in/out products are particularly popular! As are list building products. And it just becomes a crazy sell, sell, sell environment. If you're a new marketer my advice is to think outside the square. There are literally millions of people shopping online for millions of different products. A wise man once told me he stopped listening to 500 different people and concentrated on only a handful of marketers - those who provided good advice and information. Since then I've cleared my inbox and in doing so have been more productive. Hmmmm...I wonder who it was who told me that! :) The cartoon is spot on Aurelius.

First impressions last. I normally judge someone by what they share. More cartoons coming. There's two points to why I post cartoons - 1) Educate - To stimulate and massage your thoughts 2) Humour and time out from all the nonsense If you loved this cartoon, you'll love the next one I'll be posting soon.

The internet marketing niche is unbelievably competitive. But isn\'t this what makes the internet such a buzz? I do believe that most people researching their subject on the net, quickly come to realise which internet marketers are offering valuable advice and products, and which simply use their newsletters to sell, sell, sell, without concern for quality and uniqueness.
