Internet Marketing Borg
Thursday, 16 August 2007

"Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own." - Alien Borg (Star Trek)

Picture this. You just bought an online widget course that apparently will make you money while you sleep from a well-known Internet Marketing Guru using your hard earned money yesterday. The next day you received another email from the same guru promoting another widget that will again make you money while you're taking a piss.

"Huh? I haven't even begin to take action on the first widget that I bought. You mean this one is better than the first.", you wondered.

Welcome to the real world of Internet Marketing where hype rules. I know the brutal truth hurts, so deal with it.
The sooner you know the true reality of this Internet Marketing Beast, the less inclination you'll feel to take out your credit card for every new widget launches that comes your way. Ignore this unwritten rule and reality will bite you in the ass.

Let us scrutinize the reasons why Internet Marketing is being exploited this way.

Reasons

  1. It is easier to sell YOU the information on how to make money online rather than taking action from the same information that they're selling.

    "Here are the proof that my widget  works."

    Have you ever wondered why all the payment screenshots showing you hundreds of dollars earned are from their own ClickBank accounts selling the widget rather than using the widget. Hmmm...
  2. Internet Marketers marketing to Internet Marketers. It is a just a Numbers game. The top Internet Marketers (I won't divulge names) knows this for a fact that they can only sell this game to newbies. As the old adage says:

    "You can fool SOME of the people ALL of the time. You can fool ALL of the people SOME of the time. But you can't fool ALL of the people ALL of the time."

    That's why it is crucial for them to have HUGE opt-in mailing lists because they know the game is up for some. The well-informed will NOT be responsive to their baits. If you have been exposed to Internet Marketing long enough, you'll probably be more cautious and conversative on every product launches. Newbies however will bite at every opportunity that comes their way. A 1% conversion for a $47 widget from an opt-in  mailing list of about 10,000 will yield the fellow a cool $4700. I know one top Internet Marketer who has about 150,000 opt-in mailing list. You do the math. No wonder they coined it "The Money Is In The List".

A Road Warrior Worst Nightmare
Tuesday, 14 August 2007
It has been awhile since my last post and for that I humbly apologised. Last week has been a nightmare for me. Let me share with you what has transpired.

Last Sunday in the evening, I logged in to the internet to check the status of this website. I was waiting for the same old homepage to load as usual but instead the dreaded Joomla! page of death appeared.



Well, it was probably a database scripting error and a debugging session later should solve the problem, so i thought. I proceed to check my other websites as a precaution. WTF! All of my other websites on the same host are having the same problem. Please, GOD. Don't let it be a corrupted database issue.

With dread apprehension, I logged in to my cpanel and stared in utter disbelief at my empty MySQL databases. My worst nightmare has hit me in the nuts. In one swoop, all my websites in that domain has been knocked out.

Months of toiling day and night creating my virtual real estate empire came to naught. Tons of articles, sales pages, affiliate links, custom scripts, hand-coded php programs sitting in those databases have disappeared from the face of the virtual world.

If only I had performed the customary databases backup. I felt like crying.

I stared at my laptop screen and was hoping for...
