I hate internet marketing gurus - They can take a long drive off a short pier
Wow...what a breath of fresh air! I have justremoved myself from over a dozen email lists.
I had had it up to here with waking up every
morning to face the constant flow of crap being
forced into my inbox and down my throat from the
so called 'internt gurus' (the majority self
proclaimed) promoting every new waste of time,
seen it a million times before "look at how I got
rich" ebook or software. Talk about no imagination.
I've been counting. I usually get anywhere from
150-200 new emails every day. For the last week,
I can seriously count on one hand the number of
emails that either provided me with helpful content
or alerted me of a website I could actually use
to help my business expand. To all the others,
they are now one subscriber shorter.
Honestly, I hate selling. I hate the fact that
marketers try to wrap you around their slimey
little fingers to get you to waste your money
on utter rubbish. What is their motive? It's
fairly obvious really...they just want your money!
I can't say that I've never promoted something
without a similar intent to SELL. However, now
I refuse to be like the herd and go for the hard
sell over and over again. I hate the fact that
internet marketers hide behind their computers
and abuse thier priveleges to contact their
subscribers in such a relentless way.
I can understand now why SPAM has become such a
serious problem and how there can be a point
where it's just TOO MUCH. When spam becomes too
much, never a day goes by without despising the
person who sent you this piece of time wasting
trash.
If the gurus think they are helping by sending out
daily the latest thing to "make you rich", they are
just like every other person on the internet trying
to get a sale. The only difference is that they have
a name as a "great marketer".
The only difference is that they apply more tact to
their marketing so they get people to actually sign
up directly to recieve their spam. They disguise it
with a free report or membership that will help you
"become the next success like them". Seriously...
look through all the garbage and see it for what it
really is....just a way for them to feed you with
crap and empty your wallets.
