IMPORTANT: when you get to that page, it will look
like a sales letter for a fancy high-priced
seminar… but it’s not. Registration is free and
you don’t have to travel to it… you can watch
from the comfort of your home or office.
I recently read a sales page where a person flashed a big-dollar possibility followed by a disarming lure: “If I were you, I’d think this is bunk. But I’m not you!”
Let’s get seriously real. The reason why so many sales letters use the same hooks and lures in their copy is that those words – sometimes moronic ones – are hypnotic.
Good copywriters/marketers pay close attention to the objections and complaints of subscribers, purchasers and even naysayers who don’t fall into the previous two categories. They chisel their copy to bullet-point by bullet-point each reason a person wouldn’t buy and why they should throw caution to the wind on each point this time round.
On the other end of the shtick is the gullible, vulnerable purchaser. He or she doesn’t want to build a website, spend hours working on a business, and, most importantly, shell out hundreds’ or even thousands’ of dollars which the marketer is softening them up to invest.
Let’s put this pure and simple. If Warren Buffet gave away a billion-dollar strategy with a big-dollar promise in the headline, a fool and his/her money would soon be parted. In the same way, if Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers taught his 20-point-a-game strategy with a headline, “Who would like to score 20.8 points per game in the NBA consecutively for the next decade?”, some gullible, delusional and easily brainwashed wannabe players would buy his magic system for $2499.00(or more!!) without a first thought.
Pissing into the wind is far too common among slothful, serial netrepreneur failures. They want the quick fix to make them rich in a blink while sipping daiquiris and smoking joints in Maui.
Cutting to the John Hancock, making money and creating lasting wealth takes a much different mindset than what has put you behind the economic eight ball. If you are living on the financial edge or in the abyss, no system is going to extricate you from your thinking swamp.
Undoubtedly, if you can’t – without being inebriated – close your eyes and see yourself in the house, the car, the company of people which indicate exponential success for you, no system nor coach can save you from flopping.
You are where you are life because of who you truly believe you are. Nice words, chants, affirmations have their place in the success column, but there is no substitution for having a picture in your mind of the resounding success you are writing and voicing daily.
Next time a guru offers you the world, understand that in his or her world a vision of what is possible is always there. It matters not whether, Lebron, Oprah Winfrey or even Michelle Obama endorse Guru X. Systems can only work when you consistently see yourself in the fast lane to success.
You have an inside job unrelated to “As seen on TV” nonsense, list building, SEO research, social bookmarking, dollar flashing or a host of other gimmicks meant to separate a fool from his/her money.
I’m not you, but I can spot delusional, self-sabotaging behavior from Uranus. Don’t look for quick fixes or chase pie-in-the-sky dreams without first mastering your own mind.
The Lottery Mentality is pervasive in Internet Marketing. Flashing big paychecks and penning catchy headlines can still - in the modern age - separate a fool from his/her money.
No, it’s one damn sale and then another. For most people online, lots of money – called investment in the future – flows out to buy this program, that software, or the ultimate coaching program that could and should put you over the top. But it isn’t and doesn’t.
My daughter once bought me a shirt saying, “No money, no honey.” Such stark truths make us desperate for money.
So when your sitting in front of the PC, pounding out your specifics to buy the newest and best program that will absolutely make you Bill Gate’s neighbor in a New-York minute, if an email comes across your desktop saying
“Congrats – You Made Another Sale”…
The temptation to open such bogus mail is often too much, even though you may be sure it is a come on or an outright scam. The lottery mentality is easy bait to fish with when your prospect has had little to no success in online marketing and the bills are mounting. We want to make sales or have Godly intervention!
Most of us are smart enough to smell a pedigree Nigerian scam:
“Hello, respected sir/madam. This message may come to you as a great surprise. My late brother-in-law, Abdulah Ben Goldfarb, recently died in disgrace in an underground cavern and left behind a small fortune of gold bullion used by the decrepit government of Sierra Leone to finance a drug ring. Fortunately, he smuggled a map to me pinpointing the location of this stolen property of the people of my beloved country. But I need your help to make things right…”
About 12 years ago, I got scammed on a lottery win that I couldn’t remember entering. But I was so hungry to have instant riches, that I deluded myself to believing I had entered that phantom contest. I was humiliated and embarrassed when I shared this story of imminent wealth with a few people. They laughed at me and mocked me for my gullibility. That memory doesn’t sit well with me.
When I received an email from a highly respected marketer, let’s call him B.E., with a subject title, “Congrats – You Made A Sale!” – I could feel my blood boiling.
From this point forward, please note, I will name names and print the gist of any verminous email like this.
There is abundance in this world sufficient to feed the teeming masses of malnourished, starving human beings. It is never necessary to scam anyone to get money or booty undeserved. Those people resorting to such lowest-common-denominator deception should be tarred and feathered. I’ll do my best to smoke these vultures out.

Discovered GVO hosting this week and switched servers in a blink. Why? It’s a marketer-focused service which has autoresponders, meeting rooms, unlimited storage space for videos and the ability to make a video on the fly, in addition to standard, expected services of a webhost…all for one low price and with a profit-sharing mechanism. Service is used by many well-known and respected marketers.
I made this stark YouTube video because the world is a big place and is more non-white than white. Yet if you look at the Internet Marketing and Self-Help fields (and other) virtual inner circles, they smack of racism, mostly of the unintentional sort, and exclusionary tendencies.
I am not dancing with minorities just to show how liberal and open-minded I am, but just pointing out a blatant wrong that needs to be righted.
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out. ~Pastor Martin Niemöller~
The video which follows gives some common sense strategies about social marketing.
As a former MLMer myself, I know that doing frontal assaults on friends, acquaintances and street rabble is both painful and highly unproductive.
Nobody wants to know what you have until they know who you are. Though you may make a sale or two with arm-twisting tactics or intimidation, the truth is and always will be that
“A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.”
