What have you all found to be the biggest difference in marketing between men marketers and women marketers? I often think that the ability to HARD SELL is the toughest thing for me to get used to...as a copywriter and as a buyer. I'm more into a laid back approach...and I guess my earnings show why that's a bad idea

What are your opinions?

Good Morning,

Personally I don't think it is the hard sell. I think as women we need to be more comfortable with the products and niches we choose to enter.

Finding a niche that we are more knowledgeable about helps us stay more motivated, and secure.

Yes ladies as much as we hate to admit it, we still are emotionally attached to the things we do in our everyday lives. Plus the "buddy system" works well for us.

A good point to be recognized with this very social group. No matter which online marketing or business we choose to pursue, it works better for us to have someone to "chat, share, and problem solve" with.

Talk to you soon

I once read a book, "Date Like a Man" and I found it extremely educational. At that time in my life I tried out some of the recommendations and had some success but ultimately I didn't like the lifestyle. However, that was about affairs of the heart!

I'm thinking we need a book (eBook, of course!) Market Like a Man. Women do get hung up on getting emotionally attached to our projects, or thinking our efforts have to have meaning and have to help others etc

Well tonight I was on a webinar with some guys who are making 1K a day using CPA marketing about Teeth Whitening for crying out loud!!

I personally am not passionate about teeth whitening, but what I can get passionate about is making 1K a day online, because I am passionate about creating a lifestyle for my family that provides, protects and gives us security and freedom.

So, taking a page out of those guy's playbook....I'm going where the money is.... plus, can't hurt to have whiter teeth!

I have to agree on getting emotionally attached to projects.... even to domain names. I agree on the helping others. In my other profession I tried my best in helping others with their problems only to get burned. I am not saying you can't help people but I sometimes go to much out of my way.

I believe Suze Orman did a book on women dealing with financial issues. She mentioned something about the "helper" attitude. Helping everyone else but not yourself.

Just seems to me there's a balance to be struck here between both positions. Ethics has to come into it as well as personal motivators (like freeing your family from debt, etc).
Women definitely earn less in this and ohter businesses, perhaps cos we got stuff to learn from the blokes. We follow our passions and prioritise the money less.

I want it all personally... I want world peace n harmony and lotsa money to help create that world! ; ) (Oh and some great shoes and a house on the beach to sorf daily please!)

I would agree that we 1. want to help, and 2. don't like hard sell but then again hard sell does not work at all with me.

I actually think that wanting to help and not liking hard sell are assets and I find myself buying from people that I like.

I was extremely proud to be a part of the recent Philippines relief - 23,000$ in one weekend.

Now that Kindle is so hot, just one more time to claim our power. We buy most of the books in the world, or at least the West.

I think we may tend to get overwhelmed, but also realize that the 98% of Internet Marketers who quit after not making any money are of both genders. Dudes who do not succeed at something do not tend to get on Warrior Forum and reveal all.
