IM Grateful VS. Ungrateful

[Clint]

You run across many different types of people in Internet marketing. I sure have experienced the grateful and ungrateful customers. In my time.

My question to you is compared to other niches. Do you believe Internet marketers are more grateful or ungrateful compared to others markets?

I hate to say this but i think ungrateful...and here why

Many people entering internet marketing are looking for one thing, quick money. In my experience, many people for one reason or another arent willing to put in the work necessary to make money on the internet like they would in a more traditional money making profession. They want to just sit back, surf the net, and watch the money roll in.

So in my experience, many of our customers of us internet marketers are newer and looking for a step by step guide to make 50k. There is none and will never be and they are therefore ungrateful because your product taught them how to fish instead of putting the fish on their plate.


Not all customers are like this, but I would say more in this indsutry than others

I've found that people are people, regardless of niche - and the overwhelming majority of them are good people.

Unfortunately, we tend to give far too much press to the ****weasels out there instead of focusing on the 99% of excellent customers we have.

That's probably because that's the bill of goods that they are being sold. Most of the sales pages out there for an Internet marketing product profess to make thousands, if not millions, in their pajamas while they spend their time picking up chicks and navigating a hot sports car and a yacht. Can you really blame them when they find they've been duped?

That's exactly what I was going to say. If a lot of people are entering IM looking for quick money, it's because there are still a lot of people within it who are promising it. I do think many of the claims being made by marketers these days are lot more realistic than they used to be though, but maybe my BS radar just has me switching off sooner now.
