Internet Marketing: Stop Buying Stuff!
Something that comes up time and again in calls, in email, on the phone with clients is that they can’t get started because there’s so much stuff coming at them all the time from people whose lists they’ve joined. They’re overwhelmed and unhappy and why aren’t they making all the big bucks they’ve been promised?
OK… I get that. I’ve been in this game for almost 6 years now, and I felt the same way at the beginning when I was a newbie. But I wanted to learn. I wanted to be the smartest and best damned Internet marketer on the planet, and I wanted to make all that money and have that Ferrari – Beachside – Buy Anything You Want, Anytime lifestyle, too. It was all so much fun and I figured it would all just gel in my brain one day.
And it did.
But though I knew a LOT of stuff (and still do, BTW), want to know how much good it did me?
NONE!
I was trying this and that. I had four blogs going. I was driving traffic ineffectively, and though I knew a ton of stuff, I wasn’t making ANY money! It was frustrating and time consuming and I couldn’t look away for an instant because well… I was sure that I would get the big break any second, and I really needed the extra money, and well… it just never happened.
In my case, I was lucky. Tellman happened, and my IM life was transformed.
Want to know how?… Come back on Monday and I’ll tell ya.
But, only if I get at least 10 good comments. (No “nice post” comments will do. Tell me your thoughts or what you’re feeling about all this right now!) Make a comment and the secret will be revealed. Otherwise… Hmm… I guess you’ll just have to keep being overwhelmed.

You know, I did what you did, and probably most of us getting started are doing the same thing. Many don’t want to listen to your great advise about “knocking off” buying everything in sight. Then on the other hand, another massive bunch of newbies want to believe they can have a business for free. Pretty extreme, but I think it is pretty true.
Well, I finally listened to you and Tellman and the crew and stopped buying everything. Fortunately, I never believed a business could be done for free.
Thanks Pat for your great article.
