Hate them or love them the internet marketing gurus are there, probably in your mail-box every few days. We all know they are making millions, (often, but not always, from people just like us), and they are entitled to. Let’s face it; most of us would love to be making the incomes they are.
There is maybe just a hint of jealousy involved then when we gripe about how they are “ripping everyone off!” Very often they do have something of value to offer, the hard bit is to know what is worth taking from them, and what we should leave alone. How can you tell?
If you have been in the internet marketing game for a while you have probably already begun to develop a network of fellow marketers who you trust. If you haven’t it is a good idea to start.
Forums are probably your most helpful starting point. The Warrior Forum is probably the largest and best known internet marketing forum, although many people are not as happy with it as they once were. There are plenty of other forums around in the internet marketing niche too. Just do a Google search and have a look around. You are bound to find one or two that fit with your personal style.
Get to know people and keep up with the buzz. Rather than clicking on everything everyone has to offer, look for and ask for advice on the latest up-coming products. What are the seasoned internet marketers’ views? Is the guru selling the latest product a person who has gained some credibility through their previous packages, or are they considered a money-grabbing schemer who will rip you off? Read, look, listen and then make up your own mind before making any purchase decisions.
Learn to read “hypotenuse”. If you are going to be an internet marketer, you will need to understand how sales copy reads – chances are you will need to learn to do a bit of writing in what I call hypotenuse yourself. Be aware that whatever sales copy you are reading is going to be full of those words that we find so irresistible.
Admire the handiwork by all means, (Wow, they really have me wanting this product), but at the same time recognize and analyze it for what it is. Get to the meat of the product. What exactly IS being offered and is it something you actually need? Is there enough of what you need to improve your own internet marketing to warrant paying the asking price?
Keep up to date with the gurus’ blogs too. You will soon pick up who supports who and even more importantly who actually provides valuable information on their blog. This will not only give you an insight into the person and how they run their business, but you may well be a able to use some of that information in your own internet marketing business.
Don’t expect to see super – secrets revealed here, but do your own detective work, link pieces together that will help you personally and leave the hype alone.
