No More Niches For Me

Monday, February 28th, 2005

This is something many of us will come accross when we interact in the Internet Marketing community. I’m no expert in this area but I can show you why that thinking is unproductive. Consider these articles about what’s really happening in the online world. Sometimes we really have to step back and look at the big picture and not only seeing the work others has done and think we can’t go there anymore because it’s crowded.

Affluent Americans Fastest-Growing Online Group. This is super news! Not only is the group growing (more people in the market means bigger pie), the group has money to spend.

Online Banking Increased 47 Percent Since 2002 This emphasizes another point I always make to friends. Just because there are 10 people online doesn’t mean all 10 are active online shoppers/buyers. There could be 3 who are, 2 who are somewhere in between, 2 who aren’t ready at all today but will be ready tomorrow and so on. So… just because someone has been online for a long time doesn’t mean they’ve seen yours or your competitor’s product because they just aren’t ready to make the plunge to buy online but when they are and you’re there, you still have a chance to make the money. If we whine too much and forget about the project because right now it looks like it’s too crowded when these slow adopters finally are ready to buy, you lose*. Just like the banks who don’t offer online banking today because they thought it would never work today would be paying the price. I know online access is one of the first things I ask my financial institution.

Working Hard!

Sunday, February 27th, 2005

15 days since the last post, been really busy in my private life as well as working on those sites/concepts! While I’m so pumped up and want to apply everything of what I’m learning, I’m also having to reign myself in. Remember focus? Yeah… I have a finger in too many pies. Like John Reese says in his newsletter, “working on too many projects at a time is the kiss of death”. Even though I posted that early last month, I’m still trying hard to keep myself from going off tangent. Not easy but has to be done.

The decision has been made to work on my Nitro Incubator site for now since that is the one that I’ve come furthest and a sure-fire one so to speak. Meanwhile I’m still continuing to soak up all the lessons from the Underachiever DVD’s and Reese Report, the February issue is already out and again explosive!

I just realized last week that I’ve earned over 4 times more in 2004 than 2003. That totally floored me as it didn’t seem like that much. I hope I can keep that pace going. I truly have my two good friends Alice Seba and Kelly McCausey to thank for this. They are truly a beacon for entreprenuer moms.

What Underachiever Mastery Does Beautifully

Friday, February 11th, 2005

My husband has for years pestered me to teach him how to set up a web page for him to sell something online. He has little… more like 0.01 point knowledge about building web pages (sorry dear) so I always take a deep deep breath and cringe because I’d have to go so basic I’d bore myself to tears trying to teach him, doesn’t help I’m not a good teacher

So when I popped that first UM disc into my DVD player I was surprised and VERY pleased. Finally! It’s all explained in a way he can understand. He’s no newbie to the Internet but he’s not a geek either – more gamer type. Well, I practically pounced on him when he got home from work, made him watch it and he was hooked! I mean hooked! There is very little he doesn’t understand from the UM method so far and he even went to make his own flycatcher page. I am so glad I finally got him passionate about what I want to do online, our first UM project is going to be his baby.

The verdict, UM is GREAT for newbies. Too bad they aren’t selling UM anymore as of right now. We never know what’s to happen tommorrow but if they ever sell the remaining copies get it. I know it’s a lot of money but look at me. I spent 4 years and certainly lots more money than $1500 trying to figure things out myself, got me nowhere. Really this is truth and I’m not an affiliate or anything like that just telling things as it is.

Underachiever Mastery

Friday, February 11th, 2005

Well well, guess what did I decided to get into? I’ve gone about 1/3 way through with my husband and these are my initial thoughts.

If you’ve been on the Internet Marketing scene a little while, you’re probably going to be bored stiff by a huge part of this program now.. I’m not saying it’s bad in fact the opposite… If you’ve been on the Internet Marketing scene a while and not having a great deal of success or zero success, this will change your perspectives.

You see, as John Reese’s student, I’m a classic overachiever type but a lot of the stuff Traffic Secrets teach you to do is after you’ve got a product, after you’ve set up the basics and it’s a must have for those with existing profitable sites – like Undies sites :-D and that’s what Traffic Secrets does best.

But, if you’re someone like me who makes most of her money from joint ventures, partnerships and outsourcing, my sites don’t even sell anything. I don’t even need a website at all. Thus… when I got Traffic Secrets, although I see great potential and I wanted to apply my new knowledge I really had nowhere to apply it to and this is where Underachiever Mastery fits in perfectly. In fact… I dunno if the original Undies at Gold Coast know it or not, how lucky they are to have learnt the Undies method first before getting Traffic Secrets. These two are really an explosive combination but I couldn’t help thinking to myself boy how I wish I had this before I had Traffic Secrets. UM first then sprinkle (or load it on) some TS methods, you’re in for some serious business. As it stands now, I’m having to put *some* of TS’s stuff on hold until I can practice them on my Undies site once that is profitable and boy I can’t wait.
