If You Have Not Declaired Retirement - You are nobody

What is with all the "I'm retiring and selling all my stuff" going on?

It's like the newest coolest thing to do. lol

Should we all start claiming we are going into retirement?

In the past month I've seen several well know people all the sudden decide they are getting out.

Perhaps they know something? Is the internet going to end?

    • Hmmm. I put new tires on my car once. Does that qualify me to be a somebody?

      LOL, a few years ago it was "The Death Of ..." and this year it's "I'm Retiring ..." Any marketer who follows the others like sheep and pulls the same stunt instantly loses my respect.

  • I think they have been hanging out with Jay Z too long.
  • I really did retire once.

    And then I got really bored. EXTREMELY BORED!

    So I created more projects for myself.

    Point being, it doesn't necessarily have to be a marketing ploy. Some people really do intend to throw in the towel and live the good life, only to find that it's not what they envisioned and decide to get back into the game.

    • Same here, I retired (genuinely) last year and took the summer off.

      I was really bored so I just dabble now

  • What they do not tell you. They tell you that "I am going to retire now", they leave out it is funded off of the money that they make from this product they are selling you.
  • I can fully understand why someone would want to stop selling in this niche... I stopped myself, and I won't be coming back to this niche. Poodle owners, and 3D TV lovers are much easier to sell to

    But to use it as a "tactic" is poor form to start with, and to follow this like is a sheep is even more pathetic.

    Also.. never mind.

    • Almost ALL niches outside of MMO are phenomenally easier to sell. I came into this game from the traditional B2B marketing consulting world, used to doing business a certain way on the internet. After a year of testing, the big eye openers for me were the infinite numbers of niches that are still responding to old techniques like it's 1998.

      Why anyone would want to bludgeon their heads against the wall of this pathetically cheap, perpetually broke, massively cynical, and largely unsuccessful market?

  • Not just the Internet, but the whole world -- in 2012. Or so I hear.

    My plan is to run a "how to save yourself in 2012" WSO. In 2011 I'm going to sell the rights to that book and "retire" before the big boom.

    Cheers,

    • Well you really have to read between the lines to get the meaning.
      It really means I am retiring from being a guru and I am not making anymore products in the IM market. However instead of getting less emails from me, you'll be getting more because all I am going to do is peddle other people's stuff.
    • I know if I can make my millions selling my new "DVD/CD Rewinder" you'll never see me sitting at my computer again.

      I just hope it works out better than my "Coffee Grounds Rejuvenator" gizzmo. That thing left a bad taste in my mouth, business wise. Next time I won't have the instructions written in Engrish, that's for sure.

  • LOL... I was thinking the same thing yesterday I got emails of a certain marketer selling of his stuff due to retiring and I thought well hey let me see this makes what 5 I have had come to my inbox in the past couple months. Whatever I don't follow any of these "guru" guys I came across a site the other day that is called slap the guru I love that name seems to me a few of these guru people have been arrested in the past few months too it always boils down to be the leader not the follower

    I tell my daughter that all the time be a leader not a follower you never know where the leader will lead you.

  • I retired from my offline career a year ago, and I'm still a nobody.

    But as long as they keep sending me checks every month, I'm a happy camper.

    • I thought by your title, ............you are absolutely right!!

      I AM declaring retirement.............from my day job!

      Why? Cause I'm someone who no longer earns a wage, but creates profits.

      Cheers,

  • Speaking of being a retared...

    The thing that gets me is the affiliate folks who promote this "retired" stuff to their list. I'm not naming names but I'm seriously thinking "Unsubscribe".

    Then again it must work are they wouldn't waste their time doing it.

    See I told you we were talking about being retard.
