Adventures make goo-roo fanboys late for dinner
Published: Fri, 06/19/15
Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an
oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to
sit down on or to eat:
It was his mom's basement, and that meant... comfort.
(Since he didn't have to pay rent and ate for free each day.)
It also meant, he was shielded from real life.
So instead of going forth on adventures writing his own emails and
ads and making mistakes and learning how to be a marketer the hard
way (because, let's face it, adventures make one late for dinner,
and mom is making Lasagna tonight) he decided to copy and swipe and
blindly follow the advice of his goo-roo heroes who told him he'd
make a million dollars if he would just buy their dorky little
eBook for $19 on ClickBank.
The result?
He never left his hole.
He never even left his chair.
(Except to get a refill on his big gulp and grab a new bag of
Cheetos from 7/11 down the street).
Instead, he went and did what most other goo-roo fanboys do:
He decided he knew enough to make his own money-making eBook.
(Even though he hadn't made any money.)
And then proceeded on his quest to the Lonely Mountain of marketing
-- Battling people (and even other trolls like himself!) on forums
who called him out on his BS and blatant spamming... struggling to
keep people from leaving his list because he sounded like a wannabe
of the goo-roo he was following... and never learning anything
about real selling or how to build and maintain a relationship with
his list.
Within a year, he was broke.
In two years he was hopelessly in debt.
And in three years...
He decided to tell anyone who would listen what a scam the entire
direct marketing industry is.
The end.
Listen, amigo:
Don't be like the goo-roo fanboy in the story above.
Don't fall for lies and nonsense.
If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
If it smells like BS, it is.
And if it feels like scum to the touch, it is.
If you're gonna sell online, do it smart.
Educate thyself. Learn how to discern the good from the bad. And
master the fundamentals.
For example:
The bonus training in the August "Email Players" issue.
It's a long, detailed interview with one of the founding fathers of
Internet marketing as we know it:
Michael Cheney.
Guys like Michael are the reason we sell online today.
He not only helped pave the way for us... but built his first
website back in 1995, and his first product did $250k — which is
almost $400k in today’s money, and that was without hardly any of
the same advantages, foresight, marketing tools/products to learn
from, etc we have in 2015.
It's dense and packed with info.
And it's available only to "Email Players" subscribers.
