Internet Marketers – Stop The “Join Me,” Crap

February 09, 2010 By: vernette Category: affiliate marketing

I am so tired of Internet Marketers shoving their business opportunities in my face.  This happens so much on Facebook and Twitter that I can’t keep up with it.  Why in the world would you just befriend someone and then try to recruit them?  That is such a major turn off.
The sad thing is most people in this business are truly “Ugly,” and they don’t even know it. Why in the world would I say that? Well because too many times I see the words, “Join me!” in my email box from Facebook, Twitter, etc.
No!!  I don’t want to “Join you.”  That’s sheer ugliness.  It’s not about getting people to join your opportunity or fighting to get people to follow you, it’s all about branding yourself.
Branding yourself is so important.  People don’t join networks, buy from marketers, blog owners they don’t know.  You have to get out there and talk to people.  Find out what people want.  Share your life story.  Let them see that you are human just like them.  Show them that you care.  Give them free valuable information.  People don’t want to be sold.  I know I don’t want to be.
Don’t be a robot with no feelings.  Show them that you want to help them with whatever you can help them with.  In other words, get your butt up and put your face out there in the marketplace.
When you join the social networks, you are there to socialize, not to sell.  The social networks are like one big, fun, crazy party.  This is truly a great way to look at it.  So you party with people.  Socialize for quite some time.
Let them get to know you and learn to trust you.  Then once you’ve built up a strong relationship with people on the social networks, invite them to your home (your blog, website, business opportunity, etc).
Would you meet someone today and then invite them to your home?  I hope not.  Well some people do, but that’s absolutely crazy and risky anyway.  So let’s just look at it this way.  If you don’t want a stranger in your house, why would you want to just meet someone online and invite them home (your blog, website, opportunity)?  Think about it.  You are just setting yourself up for failure.
So stop the “Join Me,” crap.  Just promote who you are… brand yourself.  Once people get to know you, they will eventually, “Join you.”

Work At Home Opportunity Seekers – Are You Stepping In POOP?

December 31, 2009 By: vernette Category: affiliate marketing

Have you ever stepped in dog poop? Well I have…many years ago. It is something I would never, ever forget. From that day on, I have made it my business to never, ever step in poop again. Well to my dismay I ended up stepping in poop again, but not dog poop this time. It was the worst kind of poop ever. And you know what, this is poop that is very difficult to clean off.

Guess what, you might be stepping in the same poop too…the dreaded “Work At Home POOP.” Thank God that I was able to clean my POOP off and make a living online. However it took me a few years to do so. Work at home opportunity seekers, beware of stepping in POOP. It could destroy you.

What is work at home POOP? Well let me sum it up for you:

1. P – People who claim to be Internet marketing gurus when they are not.

Now there is nothing worst than falling into the trap of so-called gurus who claim that they are earning anywhere from $10,000 or more monthly and are not making a dime. The worst part is, they sell you their program trying to teach you how to make money that they themselves do not even know how to make.

2. O – Overwhelmed and Overloaded with too much work at home opportunity info.

Now this one could actually destroy you. This one hit me like a ton of bricks and almost “Popped my head open.” I thought I was going crazy… literally. Maybe you are going through the same thing too. Each day my email box was filled with so much information that I just did not know which way to turn. I did searches on the search engines, visited forums, visited work at home websites, purchased over 100 e-books and programs and did everything possible to find the truth about how to earn a living online.

I was actually searching in vain because I ended up at a dead end, actually right where I first started… nowhere. There is nothing worst than working extremely hard day in and day out seeking information, purchasing e-books, reading those e-books, applying the instructions, etc and never earn a dime. The more money you spend, the more money you lose. You end up day after day pulling out your credit card in hopes of making the next online opportunity, only to be disappointed again, and again.

3. O – Opt-In lists from hell

Have you ever placed your name and email address in an opt-in box in order to receive more info and was spammed left and right? This is against the law, but many marketers do it anyway. To make matters worse, your email is shared and sold to other marketers who then do the same damn thing… spam your email box. Now this kind of thing is quite frustrating because you can end up spending most of your day cleaning out your email box.

To make matters worse, when you try to unsubscribe from some of these lists, your request goes unheard and you still continue to receive junk. I hate spam and I cannot imagine spamming anyone’s email box. I am sure these so called gurus would not like anyone spamming their email boxes. So why they do it to others puzzles me.

4. P – Passive Income Propaganda…

Gurus have a tendency to spread their misinformation like wild fire all over the Internet. This is after all the digital age, and information spreads instantaneously with just a click of the mouse. The most popular way of perpetuating this misinformation is to send e-mail messages with headlines such as:

• “Make $2,500 per month filling out surveys” • “10k in 30 Days…” • “Read our step-by-step blueprint to wealth and earn $659,560 in 6 months.” • “Make thousands of dollars with this amazing method.” • “Google is hiring at-home workers”

Most of these programs are set up to make you fail. I have never found a work at home program that could make you five, six-figures or an internet millionaire overnight unless you piggyback on someone else’s success by buying your income. Buying your income is the only way that I know of that can make almost anyone an “overnight sensation.” And even with this method, you have to know exactly what you are doing, have some money to invest or you could get burned.

With the economy the way it is and more and more people losing their jobs, many people are jumping online and have become business, home job opportunity seekers with big dreams of making quick money. More and More people are lured into many opportunities and are left “Hanging on shoe strings.” And you might be one of them… one of those poor, unlucky souls who are constantly stepping in POOP.

Fortunately, you can avoid all the sharks and earn a decent living online. For instance, selling products for large companies like Amazon, working from home as an independent contractor for major corporations, buying your income, and working as a freelancer are some of the most effective means of generating a full-time income via the Internet.

If you are a newbie trying to “Cast your net,” on the Internet, hoping to catch some big fish, please be careful not step in POOP. You might never be able to clean that damn POOP off.



What Is Affiliate Marketing?

December 08, 2009 By: vernette Category: affiliate marketing

I received a question from one of my blog readers and that question is:

What is affiliate marketing and how can I get started as an affiliate marketer?

So what is affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is basically selling other people’s stuff. Merchants like Gap, Walmart, Amazon, Home Depot , etc pay you a commission when you sell their stuff. My favorite stuff to sell are digital products, ebooks, etc.

One of the best and largest affiliate network is Clickbank.

Clickbank only offers digital products for affiliates to promote. For instance if you have an ebook that you created, you can put your ebook in Clickbank’s marketplace and affiliate marketers sell your ebook for you and you would pay them a commission. So this is what authors of ebooks and other digital products do.

You can see an example of how an author of an ebook, software, directory, etc would go about advertising their product. Here’s and example of my digital product.

If you were to promote the HOB directory you would receive a 75% commission. You can promote this product on a website, blog, via articles, on forums, on google, etc. You would create an affiliate ID on Clickbank for this product and you would direct potential customers to the sales letter via your affiliate link. Once customers purchase, Clickbank would send you a commission. And commissions are paid bi-weekly.

Check out Clickbank to see products offered in the marketplace. Clickbank takes care of the entire process from processing customer payments, paying affiliates, and even issuing refunds to customers who make such requests. There are thousands of ebooks and digital products offered for affiliates to promote on Clickbank.

Your job as an affiliate marketer is to find buyers who are desperate need for some product, service, information, etc, that would make their life much better. Think about it, at some point or time in your life, you were in need of a solution to a problem that affected your appearance, health, love life, etc.

You see, millions of people are searching on the internet every single day for information that can make their lives better. For instance, one of the main reason why my directory was created is to help people find work at home contracts, which are quite difficult to find because 98% of work at home job offers are scams.

My directory gives info on how to avoid scams and weed through the garbage to find a real job. There are lots of info and videos showing where the real jobs are. This would help many people, especially moms to stay at home and work around their family’s schedule.

These people are desperate and they want solutions that will make all their problems go away. Most are willing to pay a price for it. You, as an affiliate marketer would then find a niche, a group of people desperate for a solution to their problem and then you would give them what they want (an ebook with a solution to their problem, a product, etc).

Here are some niches that you can start with:

  • People who are very unhappy with the way they look. They might be losing their hair, have acne, need to lose weight, yellow teeth, etc.
  • People who want to improve their sex life (adult products). For example, men looking for products to increase their ejaculation volume, enlarge their penis, etc.

  • People who are looking for the love of their life and having a hard time doing so. People who need to date and looking for a great dating site.
  • People who have dogs that are not obedient and they are looking for dog training advice.

  • Parents of children who a certain disorder that they need help living with (ADD), etc.  You get the point.So as an affiliate marketer, just give these people what they want, they will pay for the product, and you receive a commission. That’s it. Let me break it down… SOPS…Selling Other People’s Stuff.Here’s the process:

    Hungry Market – Give the hungry market what they want = Commission

    I hope this was helpful.

    You can start promoting affiliate products using blogs.

    I love blogs because they are much easier to maintain, add content to, and they rank faster in the search engines than websites. As a matter of fact, it seems like many people are trading in their websites for blogs, especially Wordpress blogs.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

  • Micropayments: The future of online marketing?

    November 24, 2009 By: vernette Category: affiliate marketing

    by Amish Shah on November 21, 2009


    Micropayments are popping up in every business model online lately.

    From iTunes to the AmazonKindle and now Google – all getting involved in micropayments.

    Micropayments are what Wikipedia defines as “financial transactions involving very small sums of money. PayPal defines a micropayment as a transaction of less than 12 USD, and offers less expensive fees for micropayment transactions.”

    iTunes charges 99 cents a track, the kindle charges $1.29 per month subscriptions to magazines and now Google says they want to save the “newspapers” by allowing people to purchase subscriptions to newspapers for pennies on the dollar. The first time I saw this was with Yahoo Music about 5 years ago charging only $3 a month to listen to unlimited music. Obviously this model has been around forever, but it’s just starting to get bigger and bigger.

    With content and syndication and information being blasted from every corner of the internet, it’s becoming more social. People only want to see and read the information they are interested in. Hint: this is a PERFECT example of why people are going into their “communities” and seeking information from within their “social network”.

    Think about it – it’s all digital delivery so the costs of shipping, fulfillment and all that are minimal. Making the cost to deliver any product way lower.

    So what does this mean? If you own a product or plan on making a product, you should look into the micropayments model. Consumers will buy or join a site for $3 bucks a month and get what they want and be happy.

    Which is why a lot of people shoot themselves in the foot when they measure their “ROI”. Would you rather have 1K customers and only make $10 per customer? Or would you rather have 300 customers and make $20 per customer?

    It’s not about the margins, it’s about the volume.
