Why I am Here. October 10, 2008
Posted by Riley West in : The Making of an Internet Marketer , add a commentOne of the things that makes this interesting to me is that, in my conversations with my subscribers or just people along the way is this one fact…
They are all in a different part of what I call “the progression”.
Some folks start with almost zero knowledge. They can make it but they’ve got a lot to learn.
I was lucky enough at the outset to already know what marketing and sales were.
Plus I’d done them both for years. I taught those topics as well.
I also knew how to write ad copy as I’d studied that for years. I’m not the best but I know who is.
35 years of experience running your own business is a lot of preparation.
But, still, prepped as I was I stumbled right into some really stupid places at the start. They wasted my time and money! They disgusted me. They made me mad.
And I was tied up in the bad info for months! Many would have quit right there.
THIS is what I mean when I say you don’t have to fall into one of the many traps set for you on the un-level playing field of Internet Marketing. (IM).
IM is all about information and how to use it! One of the major pitfalls is that there is good info and bad info and LOTS of it! If you are new to this, you may not be able to smell the difference. Well, I can.
And, interestingly enough, separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to Internet Marketing information is a task I am prepped for and lucky enough to enjoy.
So, that’s why I’m here. I want to help newcomers get a good start. And, this blog may be the perfect way to get that information to you.
Thank you very much,
