Is it just me or are other people also jittery with the marketing lingo
Hi there it's Alan Bray here and i am new to the forum and this is my second thread. I wanted to hear the opinion of other people on the matter of the IM language. What I mean is that although using weird terms that aren't used elsewhere is harmless and has it's community charm, I think that it is contributing to some of the problems people have while trying to learn how to market.
When somebody for the first time learns of the concepts of marketing, they tend to go with the flow and to try to catch up to everybody else. This is ok except that i have seen it creating a cycle, where in the eyes of the beginner everything is similar. Every course uses the same style sales page with the same rhythm, and what this does is make them feel lost and hopeless and unsure of what to do next. They don't know when they are ready and they stay confused and take no action.
So I think that there are two ways to combat this. First if people would put more individual into their product, and second if this market would stop being so unique. Either way what would happen is that the person will be guided by his common sense rather than what the community portrays. A beginner that dubs himself "newbie" is going to picture himself as such until he makes money which he won't do until he is satisfied with his knowledge level which would mean he isn't a newbie. So where does that leave him? As confused as you!
I don't think that it such a serious issue that needs immediate addressing, but i am curious to know if anybody else is uncomfortable with the strange terms like "newbie", "guru" and "super affiliate" instead of beginner, expert, and big marketer" for example. If anybody agrees with my psychological point also please let me know. Thank You.
