The FTP got me STUMPED!

30 July 2010.

Well, it's been over a month since I started learning the IM principles, more consistently while off sick from work.

Unfortunately, I haven't earned anything as a consequence of the time invested. Probably because I haven't managed to upload the PLR I downloaded, nor uploaded the pages that I attempted to design. The FTP got me STUMPED!

Every day I am bombarded with emails about traffic generating tactics and products to buy. Every video seems to be a good 20 minutes and over, and many remove the timer so you never know when it's all going to end!

Opt-in, opt-in, opt -out! I don't even know who does what anymore, however, I do know that some people try to sell you material you can buy in a £10 book from Amazon for a good £500. Hey, the value is in the use I suppose, but if you are not going to read a £10 book, it's unlikely you'll read the course. ( I speak for myself).

I prefer my training in person, in class or accessible, interactive video type training.

Yesterday I went from a new facebook friend's link to someone else's page, then onto a link from a course she had presented last January to an opt-in page of David Wood an 'Attraction Marketing Coach'. He gave the usual speel: Nearly broke, living in awful conditions with job he hated, to tens of thousands of income when he finally found the magical formula. That 'magic' was provided by a software program on the net that manages your multilevel marketing businesses, by helping you to generate leads. Of course they don't tell you how they help you get the free traffic,or the customers whom you don't have to interact with from across the other side of the world. They want you to buy into it first.

So I have been lisening to day one ane two of Dave Wood on his Traffic Transformation Program.

He start by telling you to start a blog, and begin writing an article a day for 100 days. Now having started my blog last year, I know how difficult it is to get yourself to write something each day. You would have to be searching out inspiration from the works of others or daily incidents to stoke up the creative engines with, that is if you have the time to research and create. I could be seen as being lucky enough to afford the time to do this, but as I have to do everything for and by myself, I actually don't have the energy and can't afford to gamble the time.

The last few weeks have been a steep learning curve, and I reflect on how, if I had followed my instincts years ago and sought out the resources, perhaps I would be in the same positions as many of those currently pitching daily emails at my inbox. However, perhaps I just wasn't 'hungry' enough at the time. Similarly as with those who tell their stories of rags-to-riches in weeks, it takes a human to reach a point where they absolutely have to do it, before they finally drag themselves up by their shoestrings to begin making changes.

Many may disbelieve that those in internet marketing are making such rapid and phenomenol changes in their lives with internet marketing, but I'm begining to believe it is possible, as after a few weeks, you either become disgruntled and give up completely, or you decide to become determined and systematic in achieving what you initially set out to do.

I hope I'm in the latter group.
