Internet Marketing Learning Curve - Straight Up

Man oh man, have I been busy. 2 weeks ago I read the e-myth

revisited, blew my mind again on what Gerber knows and how to

set up a business. Everyone, and I mean Everyone has to read

that if they are thinking about ever starting a business.


Then went down and picked up from my local library (had to

sign up for a new lib. card too) Jay Conrad Levinson's

Guerrilla Marketing - old book, but an Awesome Read. Tons of

good stuff in there about marketing your business. And the

refreshing part was that he wrote this just before the

internet was really publically available, so here is a great

book on all kinds of marketing that is so totally relevant

today and it has almost no mention of the internet. Nowadays

you can't find a book about business or marketing that doesn't

hype and hype the internet (and china, but that's a different

subject).


Well then read Mark Joyners Irresistable offer - Great

concept, just trying to wrap my mind around how it can apply to

some more complex areas. His examples all really deal with

markets/products that are easily definable, and the product is

quite specific. And the need is genuine and apparent.


That is one area where I am always looking for answers is in

my day job - financial planning. It's something that everyone

truly needs, and can do immensely better if they get some help,

but no-one has any awareness of what they really need. And

when there is a need - which there almost always is - the

solution can be so diverse - it is really hard to pin down an

Irresistable Offer.


Well on to my learning - I have become Warrior Forum

addicted - what a place to learn - amazing. Getting some real

great info there. And building some relationships as well.


Also picked up a few ebooks over the last week - some great

packages flying around out there. I am getting better at

keeping track of what I have, and also skimming them over and

making notes so that I can later go back and use them as a

resource.


I think I mentioned I had picked up Tellman/Joyner Viral

Chemistry set - about 8 CD's of great learning - some super

stuff.


Also listed lately to the latest Kennedy/Glazer CD from my

monthly membership - it was a great one on some real down to

earth tactics!


So all in all, my mind is reeling from all the info. I got

ideas coming out of each ear.


but I have been active too. - I have about half the adsense

sites of mine up. I have some of the PLR packages re-worked

and up also. Want to put a few finishing touches on them and

then start marketing them.


One of those PLR packages I am in the process of taking

down, it wasn't making much for sales the way it was, although

it was great info in the ebook. I am going to rework it into a

website, add some additional thoughts and content and offer it

for free as a resource site. If I link a number of affiliate

products to it, I think it will make a great marketing tool.

Also will build a small report to try to get the viral thing

going, and refer back to the resource site. I think it will be

a real cornerstone to my IM business as I move forward.


Keep moving ahead


Jack
