What do you hate most about IM?

I struggled with that one (still do) when I was first starting out... I eventually chalked it up to blind trust.. Sometimes though, you can get the vendor to put your analytics tracking code on their thank you page in order to confirm with your own tracking. Problem is that no tracking is ever 100%... :-/

Hi there JMPruitt, i know what you mean, the writing is rediculous, i would much rather research and outsource the rest. What kind of stuff do you outsource, is it expensive, is it worth the money and do you have any recomendations.

1) Rate of refunds after sales.
Some buyers purchase and then ask for refunds abusing the product without trying it.

2) Hype created for a new product which provides info that is easily available at much less price.

3) Blue fart methods.
Even after knowing that these are illegal, some marketers apply it.

Agreed. Emotional copy is great if it doesn't lie.

But the hype is unbelievable.

Even worse...it's the stuff that sells as well. And that gets me on the rant of buyer who SAY they hate hype...but lap up the most-hyped products they can find. Argh.

The fact that most of the marketers that make money only make money selling products about making money.

I'd say I don't hate anything about it, except that it doesn't pay me a million dollars for doing nothing. The things people hate about it can be a problem, but with problems come opportunity; for example, you may hate that IM isn't well known, but that very fact is what created the incredible niche for warriors to sell their skills to business people that think it's a magical mystery tour.

If you hate that PPC with no credit means you have to wait to get paid before you can keep going, save your money and build up to the point where you can keep it going all month; then you'll have less competition from the people who still can't keep it going.

Wherever there is a barrier to entry; once you overcome it, you have a valuable asset that others don't have. It's been said before, but bears repeating; if it was easy and problem free, pretty soon everyone would catch on, and there would be no money in it.

If you hate the hype; chances are lots of potential customers also do; so that means there's a great opportunity to set yourself apart as a rare no-bs marketer.

What's hard about anything is often what makes it worth doing. When I go out in the wilderness and have to carry a 40 pound pack up 3 miles of elevation gain, it's hard, but it means that I get to be in a wonderland free of people that don't love it enough to work for it. Sure, driving to the local lake would be easier; that's why it's so crowded with morons and beer slobs tossing cigarette butts and empty Bud cans on the ground, and blasting crappy music.

Well there is one thing I hate; the fact that I have nobody to blame but myself for the fact that I'm not rich yet. On the flip side, when I am, I'll feel pretty proud, even though lots of people have helped me along the way.
