The Joe Miller (Denzel) approach to IM. Or KISS
"explain things to me like I'm a six-year-old".
It is a terrific way to cut through the noise, and BS too. So, this is my Joe Miller take on Internet Marketing, and some opinion, a little rant, and take it or leave it advice.
Jason Kanigan has been at it for a long time now, I recall when he had less than 100 posts, and today he is over 6686. Wow. And of all the great advice he has given, here is the Joe Miller version:
You need a product, traffic and CONVERSIONS.
My same thing take is; product, prospect, promotion (because I am a believer of 3's and alliteration too).
savidge4 has told us; "The 3 very basic pieces to a successful business; Marketing, Sales, and Fulfilment - the only thing you have to concern yourself other than creating the listing is the fulfilment."
You'll find hundreds of posts that tell you to find a PROBLEM, if you have a solution for it. And many other hundreds that say, "find a hungry or starving crowd".
These are 6 year old how to, so Joe Miller would understand. Yet, everyday here, we see some of the most complicated, convoluted, crazy ideas for getting into Internet Marketing (IM) and trying to make money.
So, the KEEP IT SIMPLE SILLY, or KISS idea comes into play.
From over 3 decades of online IM experiences, I see the number one reason for FAILURE is: the wrong business or money making opportunity...one which doesn't match your skills, experience or personality.
EVERY day, scores of new Warriors come here with their hopes, dreams and ambitions and present their million dollar COMPLEX idea, which has so many steps, so much slop and mess and yet they often will get testy, even rude, when given some advice.
Sure, we want our questions answered, as asked, but most are begging for some advice from those who have been around a long time...we just see some flaws in your thinking or in the way you presented the idea to us. But the knee jerk snowflake reactions of today, well, they make the forum a place where we don't want to spend as much time.
In these archives, you will find answers to just about any question you have about IM.
And I will tell you, after decades, and dealing with thousands of customers and wannabee IMer's, your success is most likely determined by what you choose to do at the start, even if you are currently desperate...
it is to your benefit to take the time to make assessments of your own skills, experiences and knowledge and from that foundation to then seek the opportunity which best suits you.
OR, you can take the route of many Warriors, struggle, keep it elaborate, with many moving parts, and suffer for years possibly and say "it doesn't work".
So, what is your idea today, and how can we Joe Miller it for you, if it is possible?
This, of course, does not apply to those Warriors wanting to become BILLIONAIRES, there is a different path for that, and most of us can't be of help to you, OK?
For the rest of you new Warriors, how can we help you simplify your actions?
