How NOT to market
The following is copied from John S. Blog
The reason I am putting this in this blog
is that there are MANY marketers that do NOT
care about anything but the money they can make from you.
While learning how to market, please consider being an
honest one and promoting honest products............
I myself am basically through with matrices and the likes
of stand alone programs. Through this blog you will learn
only the honest ways to market, no black hat stuff here!
Just my opinion but I still thought I would share this
as many of us have fallen into this trap , the key is
to realize that you were wrong and change. There are
many GOOD marketers out there and I will point you
towards them.
BUSISNESS: Now let's continue..... with some business. Here is an excerpt from Affiliate Thief and you should read it so you may be able to understand what is going on in Internet Marketing and how are being "had" (fooled).
Marketing has its own terminology to water down what it actually is. Using a term like forced continuity can be easily explained as a way to trick the consumer into believing that they are getting something for free or for a low price, when in actuality they are usually getting slammed with a monthly charge on that credit card that was thought to just handle shipping and handling.
Marketing also employs tricks and psychological triggers that will essentially "trick" the customer by playing on their wants, needs, fears and dreams.
A good marketer understands that if they get one sale from a person, they will then drain the customer of all available resources by offering higher product after higher product to the customer.
In the online world, one sale isn't enough. They use tactics like the one time offer that attempts to bully the customer into purchasing another product or risk never seeing it again (fear is one of the greatest marketing ploys out there).
In other words, marketing, whether online or not, is not exactly nice. It is the art of deception on steroids. And most successful marketers will do things that would offend the unsuspecting public if they knew what was really going on.

Great advertising technique by Leo Dimilo
Thought would share this from John S Blog today
It is a greeat way to get back links for
your campaigns, blogs, or whatever you
else you may want to get viral about!
Great advertising technique by Leo Dimilo
Go to digg.com and look for an affiliate product...any product will do. Now, take a good look at the post...notice how the comment box is above the fold (meaning you can see it without scrolling down). This is important because someone who reaches this page looking for a product review will not only have the option to "read more" from the author but will see your comment as well.
Now, this said, it is important that you do a couple things. First, understand that your comment has to be written like an ad. In other words, it has to provoke curiousity. Usually, I will write something like "the product is really so-so....to see an unbiased review, check out my site (your url here)..."
This works like a charm because it gives the appearance that your comment is coming not as an advertiser (like the actual digg post) but from someone who is truly wanting to help. And since it is above the fold, it gives the reader of the post the option to choose between the "read more" link to the author's page OR your link which is more visible. Â
Now, simply write a post and do a copy and paste job on ALL of the affiliate product review pages on Digg, linking them to your affiliate page. Oh, yeah....I almost forgot about this....DIGG IT TOO, giving this page a "vote" in the eyes of Digg.
If you don't want to spend time searching for digg posts, you can do this instead....
• Do a google search for your affiliate product.
 • Look for any pages that come from the social networks. These can be digg, zimbio,even squidoo.
• Post your copy and paste "ad" into the comment section and then vote on it.
The reason this works so well is because alot of these social sites actually garner high rankings for whatever the primary keyword and reach the front page quickly. This is why so many affiliate marketers use them....so they can possibly get multiple listings on the first page of google and therefore funnel that traffic to their money site. Just by making one little comment on their digg page, you will funnel traffic to your site rather than theirs. The best part is that since it is on the front page, you will be able to use it to get a good amount of traffic.
This works like a charm every time, John Stankiewicz. I have tested this method out and have been able to draw in traffic like flies to honey! Try it out for yourself and stop spending all that time submitting material to the social networks. Simply hi-jack someone else's posts!
Yeah, that is my strategy. BUT, you will notice that on propellor (which gets to the first and second page for many products more often than not), you will find that in most cases there are NO comments. 12:34 PM
This is because they are done by affiliate marketers that are following a blueprint or plan. Most will never bother to revisit the site. 12:35 PM
Example- Someone does a search for the newest, hottest make money online product and nestled at the 8th position is a propellor link. They click it to see what it says (most people searching for this kind of information will normally search several pages back before they buy). 12:37 PM
So, they reach the propellor page. As you know, both digg and propellor are basically "portal pages" meaning that if you are looking for traffic, you are using it to funnel traffic to another page. 12:39 PM
They check out the portal page. Your comment is above the fold, just underneath the original artists post. You just one up them. Most of the time, the author's will hype it up. Make it so your comment generates more interest. Usually I will "tone" down the hype...ex.-- "I have taken a look at this product and I want to say that it ain't for everyone. I have written a long UNBIASED review that anyone can check out if they want..." 12:39 PM
Something like that... 12:40 PM What I have found is that I get roughly 100-200 uniques a week using this strategy so I know it works. They key is to position yourself with better ad copy than the author himself and make it appear that you are just trying to help the reader make an informed choice. John Stankiewicz 5:10 PM thanks Leo, I appreciate the advice.

How to End Information Overload and Focus on the Right Things Now
You start off with a few simple things, but similar to how your
browser can get crowded and full of SO MANY tabs, your mind can get
crowded too. And that's a shame really, because sometimes all the
information can confuse us.
The thing I like to think about, when I start my day- is what is my
objective? What are the top 3 things I want to accomplish today,
and what is my strategy- or long term goal too.
I know how it is- so many things competing for your attention, and
so many thoughts running through your head.
Soon, your business can lose focus and you can get confused. What's
this lead to? Multiple streams of EXPENSES not multiple streams of
Income! That's not what we want.
What we want to do is focus on a few primary aims that can get us
where we want to go. Remember, money is just Value (the quality of
what you're putting out) x Leverage - the number of people you
reach on a daily basis.
To keep it simple you're only two points of focus should really be
simply this:
Increase VALUE and Increase LEVERAGE = Increased INCOME >
Some people will tell you- build it and they'll come. It's a nice
Hollywood concept isn't it? It may even happen. But in case we're
in reality here, I propose the following- Increase your Leverage
and Reach FIRST- Then build more VALUE in, that will quickly fund
its own expansion.
You see the world is full of "websites," "online businesses," and
many hopeful people. One thing you really need to know though
is that you need to master how to gain more exposure and leverage
first, before you concentrate efforts on building some "empire of
content." That will come soon enough but we need to build our
audience first so they'll be there to consume our great content and
resources!
So, let's increase our leverage first. Leverage will give us the
power we need. This is why building your list over 1000-2000 should
be your FIRST goal, and you're total attention should be on that at
first. Building Your List, Plain and Simple.
Soon, we'll be looking at the basics needed to build your list and
get massive amounts of traffic to it!
