Internet Gurus in the Buff

White Man’s Land

27 April 2009 | No Comments » | admin

There are some disturbing trends on the WWW which need to be addressed. These trends are subtle, definitively racist and highly exclusionary. An ad hoc council of marketing gurus and search enginists are painting the Internet with Caucasian stripes.

The All White Brigade

The All White Brigade

The pervasiveness of whities (and I’m one of them) is so offensive and potentially divisive and diabolic that I must beg your forgiveness in broaching this important subject.

I have been keeping my radar locked on the hundreds of marketing offers reaching my inbox every week, and a majority of the marketers are less than forthright and the products offered are more often than not 110% junk or come ons for the more costly, fully-operational One Time Offer (OTO in marketing jargon) once you order their free report.  Ranting about this could consume hundreds’ of pixels in cyberspace, and in later entries I will discuss the artful-and-designing ways of these slicksters.

George Wallace and Adolf Hitler are probably standing up in their caskets and doing the Polka over this trend. What trend? Count the whities and the darkies (to include oriental types!). The score in the advert above is fourteen to zip.

The message seems to be mindset and The Secret movie – a perpetually profitable niche. But everyone is white and has an All-American smile. Most are handsome or pretty, Adams and Eves. The only things that are missing in this sales page are an audio soundtrack with sparrows chirping and harps being played by snow-white cherubs.

The Internet has become a default white man’s land! I do not believe that this default setting means that all Internet marketers are conscious or supportive of the distasteful, self-defeating trend toward whiteness.

Yet there is not a finger being lifted to call a spade a spade. White people (in the Aryan definition of things) represent less than 1/5th of the world population. These people and their governments control over 90 percent of the lethal weapons of mass destruction and the financial machines which fuel this insanity.

So is it important that we call the white marketing world which fuels this MAD (Mutually-Assured Destruction) to task? Is the whiteness just an innocuous, innocent oversight?

Don’t you believe it. The racists who are fueling the Internet are not wanting to see a rainbow coalition. But they do want the minds, the money and the obedience of the not-so-white Indonesian or Nigerian.

Getting into the back-room dealing, marketing country club requires a a white pass that under the implicit rules will always be a finger’s tip out of the grasp of the majority of non-whities.

Pay attention to this trend. White folks are building cyber banana republics in nanoseconds around the world. This new world order is going to bring about a new north-south divide which could lead to war.

“In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.”

I welcome you to speak your mind on this issue.

Alex Mandossian is an a Marketing Maven

14 April 2009 | No Comments » | admin

Alex Mandossian has helped his clients generate close to 300 million dollars in sales through his expertise in TV spots, infomercials, QVC and Home Shopping Network, national retail catalogs, space ads in Parade Magazine and USA Weekend, direct mail, Web marketing, teleseminars, podcasting, virtual book tours and of course, postcards.

He’s a force who demands respect from all serious online Netrepreneurs.  Some of his own sites has generated a five-figure income per month from less than one hundred visitors per day.

What I love about Alex – whom I met at an Orlando seminar – is his scientific approach to marketing.  When he holds a training teleseminar, he teaches you by explaining what he is doing in a marketing sense while the seminar is taking place.  In other words, hedoes not try to manipulate people with slick sales techniques – which he certainly possesses – but with integrity and no-fluff content.

A great teacher and a man I highly recommend as your mentor.

One of the Best Internet Marketers

11 April 2009 | No Comments » | admin

Ken Evoy is a doctor turned marketer.  What makes him the best is that he has been churning out outstanding, content-rich material – largely free or very low-cost since the Milennium.

His info-packed ebooks make a fan of anyone who plows through them.  Many are  a hundred to two hundred pages long.  His Master Courses cover  a wide range of subjects:   and cover such topics as How to be a Work-at-Home Mom (WAHM), Local Business Masters Course (Local-Biz-Masters), Make Your Price Sell (MYPS), Make Your Site Sell (MYSS) and a host of other ebooks and software which funnel into his key continuity product, Site Build It.  Site Build It is a truly turnkey, affordable solution for building search engine-optimized sites that rank incredibly high time after time.

This last product is a turnkey system which is perhaps the longest lasting and most profitable one in the Internet marketing field.  His software is superb for every aspect of building a search engine friendly, profitable site.  His member sites consistently rank very high in the search engines and he has perhaps thousands of loyal, long-term customers who will vouch for him.

If you never buy a thing from Ken Evoy, you will get more value in actionable information on marketing online than most marketers would ever consider giving you for hundreds or thousands of dollars – no bull!

And perhaps what I like most about him is that he remains private and under the radar, rather than trying to be a stand-up, in-your-face guru.

What is an Internet Guru?

6 April 2009 | No Comments » | admin

A guru is someone who imparts information in a way that can change your life – dramatically and  in a positive way.

While we all know mavens and professorial types that possess mountains’ of knowledge and reams’ of methodology, few of us know a bonafide guru.

A guru does not live in an Ivory Tower mountaintop palace looking down on the billions of unenlightened admirers and wannabes.  Instead, he or she lives among their disciples and teaches by doing and, at times, taking the role of the disciple.

This is the point.  We are all – in some manner – possessed of knowledge and wisdom worthy of compensation and respect.  The guru squeezes the best out of us and wants to create a planet of  empowered rather than the beholdened souls.

The Internet has unfortunately created a superstar mentality.  It has created just a few gurus.

The superstar is always launching something and that something is often incomplete and meant to soak up all the investment funds of the the hoodwinked disciple and leave him or her feeling cheated yet beholden to pay more to get the final puzzle pieces.

Good marketing – Internet style – creates value where none exists.  The nothingness is then packaged with a series of Panjumon Village bonuses meant to sweeten the deal into an irresistable offer.

Most people marketing on the Internet are not intimately involved with the products they are selling.  Instead, they market to us like puppets on a string that will mindlessly chase the bait in hope that a big-buck, auto-pilot, daquiri-sipping freedom is awaiting them in paradise.

The economic crisis in the world is totally the responsibility of the American-style free-market principles.  Unfortunately those principles are totally unprincipled and unsustainable.

Nothing comes from nothing.  If money is created out of thin air and that thin air is then ribboned and bowed, it is still only air.

America had sustainable growth when materials were produced and true value created.

In the last 50 years, however, less and less of value has been created on borrowed money, and the convenient use of western-leaning governments to print worthless paper money has deepened the crisis of confidence.

The New Age guru must understand these economic fundamentals and trailblaze rather than ride this wave of nothingness produced of value which has led to the economic abyss.

God gave us a brain to think and to create value, even if only in a small, personal way.  We have hands to mold, feet to move away from lies and deceit, eyes to gladden others, and ears to listen to the rhythms of life.

Our planet is rich with imagination.  We have moved from stone and grass huts to superdomes and palatial palaces.  We transport ourselves in vehicles going faster than a cheetah.  We can learn anything under and over the sun with just a Google search.

Ah, we have so much yet we understand so little.  The guru wants us to ask the important questions about life, about business, about relationships,  and about the true meaning of being rich.

In this blog I will always speak from my heart rather than from my desire to sell at any cost.  I want to make money by providing empowering ideas that YOU can take to the bank.

The Internet gurus covered in this blog will have to pass my rigorous litmus test of authenticity.  They must give freely and exemplify thinking and doing experts rather than professional floggers of garbage products.

There is no need to buy a monthly seal which tells viewers of this blog that I am honest and sincere.  The proof will be in what I say and what I do.

If my ethics are low, my perceived value will be low.  Social marketing has made it difficult for fraudsters and scammers to hide behind the wizard’s curtain indefinitely.

Let’s get to work on finding the guru in you.
