Well you are not alone as I am too.
People regularly come to me and tell me they have attended a couple of internet marketing seminars and bought a couple of products but they are still not making the money they were told they could make at these seminars. Some are very frustrated, confused, excited about making money on the internet but obviously lost as to where to start and what to do. Basically I'd say they are lacking the basics of internet marketing. You guessed it I've been there too and just getting a handle on all the terms used is a hand full in itself.
I've been to seminars and most are no more than sales pitches to sell products with a few hidden gems of information thrown in as well. The speakers deliver great speachers telling you what's important in building an internet business making you believe that they have what it takes for you to be successful on the internet. However what they are really doing is getting you into a buying frame of mind so much so you will feel you will miss the boat if you don't buy their product. Then the big sell comes something along the lines of if you buy this silver bullet to your online success today you get $10000 worth of products for a $1000. Now let me ask you this would you buy a new car if a salesman offerred it to you for 10% of the asking price? Me I'd start by counting the wheels and checking it had an engine and would probably not take the risk as it obviously has something wrong with it. So why do people buy internet marketing stuff for a great deal of about 10% of it's worth. Something is a bit odd here.
The seminars usually run for about 3 days inexcess of 10 hours a day sitting in a hall listening as speakers go on stage one after the other. At the end of it you are most likely uttterly confused and believe it or not if you haven't bought anything as yet you feel like you are missing out. So you buy something just for the heck of it I guess. Some people will already have their bags full of goodies, some have no idea what they have actually bought and most are yet to realise that they don't know the basics required to comprehend all the advanced material contained in these packages. Remember most people attending these seminars are newbies who have been led to believe that they will make zillions if they just attend and learn from the experts.
Ooops when you get home and open those packages you soon start to regret your purchase as you realise that you don't even have the basics let alone the advanced knowledge required to work out how to use the content in these packages. It is at this point you feel frustrated and somewhat cheated especialy when you realise that you have no one to turn too as there is no support available.
Personally I hate it when I don't know where to turn to for help. However it rarely happens to me now as I have a great group of like minded friends who compliment and help one another. But it wasn't too long ago I was just starting out too and had no idea what worked but had lots of people telling what worked as long as there was a dollar in it for them. Once they got their dollar they just seemed to vanish.
Maybe there is another way for you.
MIB is coming.........
