Are you Focused or are you riding the Hype Train?

4 replies
What i have noticed over the last 6 months or so and especially over the last few months is that the same few topics keep coming up

Ive noticed theres been a bit of a craze especially kindle stuff

Also pinterest and all this content curation, facebook, twitter often come up too

Now i have nothing against all this stuff

But what i do think is happening a lot is a lot of marketers are getting dragged along by the hype train instead of building a solid online business

Basically people are losing there focus

And focus in this IM game is very important

Using these methods just to make money will not build you a business

Your main concerns should intially to be building a stable business with a list of customers and raving fans not wasting your time trying to make a few buck on the next fly by night income method

So next time you feel yourself getting dragged along by the hype train with the next popular money making method to hit the IM scene, take 1 step back and have a think for a moment. Let the rest ride the hype train while you build a solid online business

Remember slow and steady wins the race :-)

    I'm not riding the hype train. I own a Kindle and use it for reading fiction books. I use Facebook and use it to chat with my old friends. My IM business is very solid and I don't plan on getting on this train any time soon.

    Just listed a stack of domains for sale in the WF for this exact reason.
    Spent 2011 Educating and experimenting (I think you need to do that for a time)

    Now 2012 Has seen Profits, and my sales Funnel take shape. All because I decided on my business model and stuck to it.

    Its amazing what a little focus can acheive, I had a 2 hour skype chat with a guy this morning on exactly this thing. He had 200 Ideas and 1 completed product.

    We are trying to make it the other way around.

    Speaking of focus, why am at the warrior forum again?

    Oh that's right, FOCUS PEOPLE

    Take care.

    Some people are focused on the hype... :p

    And for some, Kindle is not hype, but a solid method to produce revenue.

      The Hype Train isn't all it's cracked up to be.
