This is OK if they’re getting reasonable conversions, but what about when they don’t?
Most marketers then abandon that market and try something else.
This is especially prevalent with newbies and those who are struggling to make a buck.
Abandoning products and markets that often are doing really well for some instead of testing is rife.
That will keep those who don’t test fluffing around the edges of marketing without making any decent income for years.
They end up with a hard drive full of PLR, products they’ve made, websites all over the place, a trickle of income, and a constant need to buy anything that looks like it might be the answer.
When your income is $100k per year and you want to earn $1m per year, that $900k difference is the ignorance debt.
We rely on money for our entire lives and we’re never taught how to manage it, how to get more of it, how best to use it because most of the people around you don’t know either.
Like so many things online, there is a wealth of great information and a great cesspool of rubbish.
I was working on a photocopier in a primary school when one of the teachers came in to chat with the aids.
He was asked if he had retirement plans.
At 65 his answer was “Not for at least another 5 years, we have to clear our credit cards first.”
$65,000 in credit card debt, no savings, and still renting.
I was horrified.
He and his wife were in serious financial difficulty, declaring bankruptcy wasn’t going to help them because they effectively had nothing to show for 40 years of working.
When you quit paid employment you must be debt free, own your castle, and have at least some form of finances backing you up, or a much larger income than your job pays.
If you don’t have that you will need to figure out how to bring in some money to cover everything.
Your costs will be going up, your income has to rise to match or exceed it.
To increase your income you will have to do something.
For those who have better prompts and learn how to ask better questions the output can be excellent.
It’s not hard to get better results either.
All you need to do is ask the AI tools to help you.
Try this:- “You are an expert prompt engineer and can turn simple prompts into excellent ones. If you don’t understand something you ask relevant questions until you understand the requirements. Once you have the answers you need you write the prompt and immediately execute it. Work your magic on this prompt please.” Let me know how you got on with that.

Many people would describe themselves as truthful, but even that is a lie.
I don’t think I can honestly say that I have never met a 100% always honest and truthful person.
They would be so difficult to talk to or live with.
At the very least people will lie to avoid hurting someone else’s feelings.
We don’t say, “What have you done to your hair?”.
We might say, “That’s a different style for you”.
We’ll almost never say, “Your breath stinks”.
We may not say anything, and adjust our position with relation to your face.
As a sales person I heard, “I’d like to think about this”, or “I need to discuss this with my wife/husband/lawyer/accountant/etc.”, instead of what they wanted to say, “No thanks.”
They want to be able to blame someone else for the no because it makes them feel better.
The hard truth is that we lie to ease our relations with others.
When you write a sales letter, blog post, or email to persuade readers to take a particular course of action you will probably exaggerate a little if not fudge around the truth.
We don’t need to do this, but we often do because we’re trying to persuade.
The biggest problem I see with this is that hyping something up is more likely to trigger refunds when the product doesn’t live up to the hype.
This is very common on W+.
What works far better is telling the truth about a product, perhaps even playing it down a little so that the customer is pleasantly surprised.
What do you think?

P.S. I can honestly tell you that I haven’t used this product as much as I should.
That’s on me, not the product.
It does what it says on the sales page, one of the few that does, but it’s not for everyone.
In part because it’s not the cheapest product on the market, and it does involve a little work.
The ones that do work often require you to do something and this is no exception.
That’s an advantage though because it reduces your competition.

As you can see, when you read that that, I’m talking about the difference between a private blog network and a public blog network.
It’s also what was talked about in the book “Nothing but Net” which was written in 1999. The basis of all of those is that Google has to follow links to find your page and the more links you have from quality sites the better.
The old, and discredited private blog networks took this a bit far by building their own blog networks.
Google can block these, but they can’t block a public blog network.
