Keeping track of your Enemies (Oops, I mean COMPETITION!)...Do You Watch Them Like A Hawk?

14 years ago

Apart from initial competitive analysis, I pay little attention to competition in various niches, I find spending our time on more promotion and keeping abreast of proven tested improvements in various sales techniques more lucrative than worrying about every tweak competitors make.

Thanks

I watch my competition like MAD! Expecially if they are considered an authority in the niche i want to market in.

If i see someone that is making money, i simply copy what they are doing and just do it a little better.

It makes life easy when you do it that way . Why try to figure it out when someone else already has?

Break ups are hard to handle alone and thats why some people need a the no contact rule. If you need a system to follow read The Magic Of Making Up. A good relationship coach is TW Jackson because he has been helping people get back together. The Magic Of Making Up review will give you all the break up advice you need to help you save your relationship fast but a break up coach can still help you with your situation.

It depends on the project!

If its a new niche I am diving into on Clickbank for example, I would initially look at the top dogs, see what they are doing, map out a plan of attack and then put all my focus into playing out that plan of attack to the best of my ability!

I never look at what they are doing after! I focus on myself and whats working for me! But there are online projects where spying on the competition is needed always!

Another old thread dug up. THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING I AM NOTICING ON THE FORUM, and I am not the only one noticing it, and I am also not the only one who is dissatisfied with that, as there have been threads by other warriors commenting on this very occurrence.

I guess I am CRAZY for noticing these things, and I am crazy to think that these things would be handled or managed finally in one way or another, so that this forum can get back to being the best forum it can be.

Thanks

You're not crazy.. I noticed it too.. and it is a little annoying, in fact, I started the thread about it last week.

Yup I saw that thread. Lots of things are going on in this forum. According to people in the "off topic" section, I can't change things here! So I guess complaining about it is all people can do? Lovely.

2 things pop into my head...

The off-topic forum is a whole different place, best not to go there. Like an alternate dimension.

And the other thing was, your suggestion in the OT forum was a bit of a bad idea...

Well-intentioned, but bad all the same

  I gotta start looking at thread dates. I didn't even notice this was an old
  thread until somebody mentioned it.
  
  First time I saw it though.
  
  Anyway, I answered number 4.
  
  Got too much to do without worrying about what everybody else is doing.

  Note to self:
  
  Now that it's June, you're halfway through the year. Are you on track for your goals this year?
  
  Or is a week at the beach all you've thought about for the last month...

I don't like calling them competitors, because I learn a lot from them. I often visit their sites and if i like their methods I also try to adapt it as well. I am more interested in how they do things to become successful on what they do.

I am seeing that a lot as well. And if other Warriors notice, the first person to comment on the old thread is more often than not a newbie with less than 20 posts. And are often looking for simple threads they can answer without having to elaborate too much on the topic. NOW, I am not trying to make anyone feel bad or anything, but give them a break : 0, they are in the process of learning. And what may seem like OLD news to us is DARN good news to them.

Oh, and before I forget about the poll, I do not care what anyone else is doing. I concentrate on my strategies, try to improve on them and SURGE!!! Way too much to do to be worrying about others...

People waste far to much time wondering what their competition does.. If they would spend just half that time on their own business they would see that they would double their productivity and income...

Edit: Like Steven, I need to pay closer attention to dates ... I see now this is an old thread...

Not really.

Besides, you never really know who is making money and who is really successful.

I would rather spend time testing and finding things that work for me.

I could care less.

I enjoy making money on my terms based on what
I want to do...not what some other business person
does.

How long did it take you to write this poll by the
way?

I'm not sure how it's productive to care so much
about what other people are doing...I doubt very
little.

Thanks
