I recently got involved in a conversation with a marketer in Austin. He has been doing quite well and has been around for awhile. Although I don't know exactly how accurate these numbers are, he pointed some things out to me that I did not realize.

Basically what he said was that after working with many marketers he noticed that for those that stuck around for two or more years, that 70% of them...
  • Dont know how to set up a wordpress blog'
  • Set up a squeeze page
  • Write a sales letter
  • Never attracted over 5000 Unigue Visits to all their online adventures combined
  • Have not made over $1000 in a years time-if not ever
  • Never created their own product

His question was...what have these people been focusing on?

It reminded me of something I have been studying on my own when it comes to internet marketing...that people move through stages.

Student level:

Looks at information here and there, not serious at all, glancing at this business from a distance, has no clue, not sure if this is even real.

Level of focus: 5 to 10%

Newbie Level:

Level of focus is 15% to 25%, but it's not focus on one thing, it's focus on all sorts of different things.

Intermediate Level:

50% to 60% focus, but it's not focus, it's time spent. It's time spent on all sorts of different things. The Intermediate might find he/she has spent 30 hours this week on the Internet, but none of it was laser focused on one thing. Most of the focus is all over the place. It's jumbled and there's a lack of "definite purpose".

This level earns some money here and there, maybe maxes out around $3,000 some months... gets gigs here and there, but is not earning enough consistently to quit jobs and rely on this income completely.

Once you hit the intermediate level the only thing that prevents you from moving fulltime is yourself. It has nothing to do with knowledge, resources, or ability.

I also realized that what prevents others from moving through the other phases is themselves. For instance. I have raised two teenagers. It is interesting to watch how both approach life differently. Neither one of my teenagers have ever been in trouble and they have always gotten fair to great grades. But one always gravitates towards social activities while the other takes pre-college courses.

I believe both will be successful, but they approach life differently.

I think marketers approach this differently. Some may only need one or two sales a month, other might like making $30 a day, while other want to do this fulltime. No answer is right.

But if you are wanting to make a run at this. Then your habits and the way you approach this will be different.

For instance if you spend large amounts of time in front of the tv or doing things other than marketing, you probably wont make a lot of money at this. But if you are always improving and working on your products, then things could change for you.

It is from this mindset that I wanted to stay accountable to you...someone who reads and pays attention to the things we are teaching and doing to help you succeed in your own business.

I am going to give you a Sunday download of what we have been working on and improving in our business, so that you may see some habits we develop as we move forward. For some of you this will drive you crazy, while others will understand what we are doing. I approach this more like a crack addict then an engineer. I am all over the map and moving at speeds that are hard to keep up with. The downside is I am always going back and making corrections and improvements. The upside, I produce a lot of products and get them out to our affiliates.

Below are the products I have worked on or created over this last week. I am really trying to improve upon the sales pages for my affiliates. This coming up week I will be focusing on going back through all my products and upgrading the landing pages. Dont forget you can become an affiliate of all our products by signing up at jvzoo.
