some mental questions

I wouldn't necessarily believe what your 'guru' friend believes. The first two things that come to mind are as follows:

1. If you believe you will fail then you are right. If you believe that you will succeed then you are also right. A thought turns into a pattern which turns into a belief. Your subconscious mind will guide you to your belief system and essentially what you believe to be real.

2. Persistence is key in this business. If what you're doing isn't working then change it a little. Launch something completely new the next week. Research about something different the following week. But the point is to be always doing something and to have as many possible ways to make money as you can.

Hope that helps.

Perhaps what the guru meant is that people who are learning how to walk should not be giving advise on how to jump and run around.

I think that if a product excites you and you enjoy it and you feel great about it then that is what matters.

Hi.

My simple answer to all these questions, is just to sit down, shut-up, get out of your own way, and keep taking positive forward moving action. Provide quality product or service value to others and Consequently prosper. Avoid the criminal, stupid, and silly. But the detail........

What I'm about to share, hinges on Advanced Inner Technology principles as put forth in the book: 'PFOSH - Wealth Beyond Reaity' - Tom Garris, which states:

Everything Is Connected - Nothing Is Divorced From Itself.

Alright, let's remove the fluff. Let's do science speak. Inner Technology Science......


Promoting IM Products

Product promotion magnetically spirals outward in an attractive vortex of keyword psychology. The right ACCURATE keyword magnetically attracts online traffic towards an offered product or destination, provided the destination reflects an online traffickers intent towards solution, convenience, or knowledgeable information.


Promoting Self Improvement Products

Start with the niche you choose, which doesn't necessarily mean you have to know or like it. The mechanism involved in effort towards online income success, is the same. The differences that will occur here, will concern an individual's comfort level in terms of implementing strategy, logistic input, and return on investment reward expectation.

This means you can be happy, or said, and still obtain a same successful online income financial results. Emotions have less to do with the basic measure of income success depending on an individual's attitude towards sentiment sensitivities.



Self improvement products, are just that. Nothing more; nothing less. An online marketers credibility concerning their validity of product endorsement believability, takes on a different weight of credential, when the knowledgeable facts about a product are readily and easily disclosed upfront, with an indifference towards the outcome of this disclosure. This is the condition where knowledge of the facts does govern the outcome of the products exposure for consumption.

The human phenomenon that allows inconsistencies in truth or fact to be unable to extinguish a desire to have or obtain material artifacts, is tempered with communication displays of factual disclosure. Think of the word, trust.

This condition is why a Wall Street broker, at least in the past, could lose the client $10,000 or more, multiple times, and the client still maintain a behavioral loyalty towards the brokers activity. This psychological understanding is not to be taken lightly, as it applies directly to the attributes of customer loyalty behavior that is obtained during online marketing practices.

Again, I mention that expert knowledge of the product, is more relevant when product disclosure is a significant feature attribute for enticing the offering to be consumed, otherwise, an online marketer can instill value in a rock or a diamond with a similar expertise tone of credibility. Just look around through history; it's been done.


Expertise

Expertise reflects a condition of knowledgeable confidence in terms of pattern identification, and or accurate intuitive awareness, that is concerned with the mechanics of a given discipline. Confidence is based on pattern recognition.

What's generally never mentioned, is that the sense of confidence, is a tangible transferable psychic substance. This is why teachers of a craft or discipline, at some evolutionary point, encourage students to take action with the initial knowledge base at hand, or with the strategy of intent just learned.

This sense of confidence can be easily translated into seeming unrelated disciplines or functional operations. It is the psychic mental correspondence , that bridges the CHASM or gap of relevance. You know, like the relevance of semantic keywords used to strengthen an articles SEO value. Think about it.


Product Offerings

Self improvement products or a product in general, is not dependent on expertise, nor for the matter, experience. The production and induction of online income that is aligned with ANY given offering, is based on its presentation packaging, keyword coordinate location (human and machine psychologies), and presented awareness orientation of the offerings ability to perform.

This means either its informative content, inspiration augmenting capability, or enthusiastic emotional impulse triggering mechanism. These are the aspects that cater to both, the language syntax sensitivities of the human emotion, and machine algorithm. Go figure...


Self deception

In online marketing, self deception is not in play when it is understood that you don't have to put YOUR finger into the blaze of a flame, to tell someone else, that they will experience a burn if they place their finger in a fire.

In terms of online marketing, we're talking about moral relevance and human law working within the efficiencies of both the psychologies of human emotion, and machine algorithm. Plagiarism or copying, is less than digestible to both the machines and humans alike. It's not even necessary due to the multiplicity of graphic options, audio visual media style prescriptions, or article techniques implied in ultra spinning.

Deceptive online marketing practices can be eliminated if the online marketer chooses to provide himself or herself, the condition of time, to do research. In other words, do some homework if there are moral concerns (should be reasonable concern) about what will be publicly presented to online traffic audiences.


Believe me, there's more underlying mechanisms occurring here, but I think you get the point that there's a lot going on behind the scenes.


Something to think about, don't you think?

Hang in there "notme". Know deep down that you can make this happen and things will start to happen for you. It sounds like you're beating yourself down a little too early.

There are plenty of opportunities for affiliate marketing. Take the time to look at different affiliate programs, and especially Do Not fail to explore the smaller affiliate programs. Marketers like George Plus for instance, have affiliate programs that are very easy to earn commissions with because they run sales allowing people to buy large packages of products at very low prices. Unlike Clickbank where you must meet strict rules to get paid, or watch fees eat up the commissions you have earned without ever collecting one cent, there are many private affiliate programs that pay from the first sale, some even pay you instantly. Do some research on affiliate programs and I'm sure you will find one that works for you. By the way, you can see what George Plus whom I mentioned earlier, has to offer at myprofitaffiliate.com.
Good luck!
