Cash cow smoking pot, on crack, going wild!

To be fair Bev the main service internet marketers working with local businesses will be compared to is web designers.

And many of them have charged businesses $5,000 to $15,000+ for a website that doesn't produce any sales at all.

If you charge a business say $1,500 for your service and they make back $3,000+ in net profits then you've just given them an exceptional service no matter how messy it looks.

But I agree with you 100%.

You should learn the basic skills before you start trying to sell them...that should be obvious.

The very first post I made on the subject 13 months ago I was pointing out that many Warrior Forum members already have the skills they need to help small business owners.

That was always the target.

People who've spent 3 months or more studying and applying internet marketing who still hadn't made the kind of income they wanted and could genuinely help small businesses with the skills they'd developed.

Coming from a long background of running small businesses myself I've always wanted to see small business owners coming out of these deals way ahead with huge sales and profits from the help they get from internet marketers.

In many cases that's been exactly what has happened.

Crap. I came in here for a few totes to limber my mind up for my appointment tomorrow down the street. He's gonna want someone to be able to build his site for him and I really need the work.

While I'm here, can anyone tell me if there's a difference whether I use <p></p> or <br></br> when I'm setting up a menu of articles?

Maybe you guys can tell me which way the cash cow went so I can pick up a few mushrooms instead?

Why is it people always pick something they CAN'T do instead of something they can do? I can't imagine putting up websites of code, but I can write anything that company needs written. I could probably sweep their carpets better than most janitors, too.

People need to do what they are right for and quit chasing the next damned buck just because some one posted something and it saves them from having to be original enough to form ideas on their own.

There have been cheesy marketers since there has been products to market.

Save the pics of the checks - I can make one and photo it too. I have much more fun seeing you photo yourself in the driver's seat of some luxury sedan you've taken out for a test drive - those are always impressive.

When people start talking about "how much I made and you can copy this", I can feel the fur on my back raising - and that's a good trick because there isn't any fur on my back.

The phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure" can translate over to "cash cows", too. One person can make a fortune doing something that someone else can copy straight down the line and completely fail at........because it wasn't the right strategy for THEM.

When discussing making money, you can tell who is going to win and who will lose just by watching their reaction to sums of money. Until people get the damned drift that each person's success should be analyzed to see which factors can be successfully integrated into their OWN strategy, we're going to have a world just crammed full of cheesy marketers who are continuously looking to copy someone else to get the BIG BUCKS and never catch on to the fact that they need to learn how to do what is right for THEM if they are going to be successful. Doing something they know nothing about just keeps adding more cheesy marketers to the crowds.

Allen made a fortune creating the Warriors forum - now run out and copy it. You think you can just by knowing the steps he took?
Wanna even try to copy Jo Mo's video spots? I'd like to see that kind of idiocy.
The idiocy I did see was Kevins vids - and those WORK -- for HIM. Not for you.

In EVERY field there are people that will become huge successes doing one thing - and hundreds of others who fail copying every step that person did - because it just isn't suited to them.

Figure out who and what you are. Find your strengths, find your shortcomings -- and be extremely honest about both. Then take tips here and there from other success stories that integrate well with WHO YOU ARE. You don't plan a business on how much money you want to make - you plan a business around YOU and make it make so it makes the money you are looking for. Then you will make those big bucks - because you are doing what you are and you will be lovin' it every step of the way. Any other way and you are only building a disaster waiting to happen.

It takes more than desperation to be rich and an ability to copy cat to be a business success.

Crap. I could have made $250 bucks filling out surveys instead of writing this crud and I still haven't found the smoke either.
