Since I had started work, I had slowed down on my online marketing plans. I found some useful software but I have not act on it yet.

I was budgeting myself how much I will spend on the programs and how much it cost to advertising the product that I had purchase. Maybe to others it sounds so easy, just buy that product and it does all the work for you. Just need to promote like mad only and everything else looks easy. I just go blank *blink* after that when I read similar emails since I didn’t act on it to buy the product. I do read my emails everyday to check what out what latest product the gurus are promoting. Just realize most of them have the similar product and videos to share. I guess they are the leading internet marketing gurus to promote the “hot” selling product.


After 1 month of searching for answers to my questions, one article in my email was very interesting. I would usually just scan through the email and if it doesn’t sound interesting, I will just archive it. He was mentioning about franchising as a example. I do know they pop up like rabbits in different shopping mall but his words just slap me across the face “People get rich in this world by solving other people's problems, and when you sell someone your opportunity, you are not solving a problem, you are giving them a bigger one!” He was promoting a system that duplicate success which is very similar to franchising.


After having no replies from the “Internet Marketing” lady that I had embarked this online money making program (Counting 5 weeks from the date of email), I felt that sentence is so true. You just promote the product and how you are doing to do it, you are left alone, you have a bigger problem ahead of you. I had to search information how to use tools to help me promote the e-book and how much it is going to cost from trial and error, etc (the list can go on) Her Job is done to start you off with a free website and how you going to use it to your advantage is your own problem. She already did what she believe it’s enough. She got her commission, who cares what is after sales service as her main goal is just promoting and getting people to buy the stupid e-book. What is the first thought in your mind? Scam? Fraud? Though how much you want to say it’s a scam but you cant really put it that way. She had sold you the product and you already receive the product and how you want to apply the concept, its all up to you. Wow. It felt like a big slap on my face, I am left with a bigger problem ahead of me.

Sometimes I don’t know whether to laugh and cry on this matter, since I have a goal beyond this, I just take it as a pinch of salt that the road will be long and harder if I wish to have my own business. This is just a testing ground and learning how things works and what I will face in the future. If it works, It will solve some of my problems. To me, it’s a learning curve on “Welcome to Cyber World of advertising through Google Adwords.” . The cost to advertising may not be that much compared to putting up into the local newspaper or classified ads offline but it is the stiff competition that we have to overcome.

I just received Matt Bacak Internet Marketing Dirt! Its a old copy of Dec 2008 but i didnt believe i will received it. Was reading through and found it quite interesting. Will share my thoughts on the newsletter soon.
