You are a SNOB. That's why you are failing.

Internet Marketing is:

NOT about talking down to people.

For instance, if I wanted to not talk down to you right now I would have titled this -

"How being a snob cost me thousands of dollars"

If it were an article, you might be more inclined to read it.

Since it is a forum post.... I titled it a little abrasive to get you to open it (I assure you I meant no offense)

My humble advice: Take time to look over your articles and your copy and see if you might be offending people...

Do you know who doesn't like to be talked down to

-women

-children

-men

-and cats (Dogs for some reason love you even when you give them orders)

I hope this helps someone

    Great post, we do have to be more aware of how we come across in the material we produce. Also there is something about offensive stuff that gets attention. I mean you got my attention with your title lol.

    For every person that wont buy from you because you use a word like "balls" there are ten people who will buy JUST BECAUSE YOU DID!

    For every ten people that wont buy because you come off as abrasive.. there are ten others with a personality disposition that tells them "I wanna buy from him because abrasive people dont pull punches"...

    Then for every 10 of him there are ten others who won t because you are too poetic, and 100 other who will buy just because they like your poetic style.

    Best advice. "Be Yourself".

      Yeah... But....

      With all that, you are still not talking down to them.

    It's no big secret that assholes make money too.

    Best advice. "Be a decent human being".
