No More Pink Kool-Aid!

Banned 13 years ago

Necessary bump is necessary. The message is absolutely essential for newbies to get drilled into their heads. You don't belong in the IM/MMO niche if you don't have the experience to back it up. Plain. And. Simple.

Thanks

yup, another bump for this thread. Thanks, John. I wish people would pay attention to this stuff. Too many people want to copy others when they should be focusing on their own uniqueness and their passions.

That's one thing that has always impressed me about Perry. From the first edition of his Adwords ebook to present day, you always know what he really thinks.

Good thread John. And it is so common to see people start "make money online" blogs when they are just starting out and haven't made a dime. Newbie enthusiasm I guess.

Thanks

Kool-ade I said, and Kool-ade I meant. With lemonade, you gotta have lemons, sugar, whatever other flavorings you want to put into it. Kool-ade, you open the envelope, dump it in water, stir and get something that only looks like the real thing.

Kind of like the wannabes trying to 'fake it 'til they make it'...

Thanks

Actually I was referring to the guys write up, not what you said. My post was mis-leading, sorry. Just never heard of pink kool-ade, just pink lemonade. I was just trying to be funny, but in this case I wont quit my day job

Perry does promote a product link, but the way he does it is the lesson. This is how you pre-sell a product, people.

Yes, indeed.

Thanks very much for posting this (and reminding me to read more of his stuff), John.

He's a really good writer.

Thanks

What those poor saps don't realize is that by jumping straight into the IM/MMO niche as a newbie they eliminate any chance of ever becoming real competition.

The thing is, in every market you want to sell want people want to buy.

However, in the majority of the cases, people don't want to buy what they actually need.

In business, one of the first things you need is the right mindset and understanding of certain principle and fundamentals. Nobody wants to buy that - in most cases they get ignored.

That's why many of the really valuable threads on the forum get ignored. And the IM dream lives on...

Thanks
