Sometimes, your best option is to wait and see what happens.
That’s not what the gurus will tell you about what to put on your sales pages.
They’ll tell you that FOMO is the way you get people to buy stuff.
It’s true that people will buy stuff when the sales page has a countdown timer and a deadline to buy, but if the product in question is a good one, then not being an early adopter is often the right option.
People who really back their products do not only put them on sale for 7 days and never offer them again.
The real products are always available, perhaps not at the same price, but that shouldn’t be your first consideration.
Your first consideration should be, is this product going to get me closer to my goals today, this week, or this month?
If it won’t, then do not buy it.
You’ll be wasting your money on something that you’ll never use.
How do I know this?
I have fallen into that trap several times.
I have bought courses that I have never finished.
I have bought PDFs that I’ve never read all the way through.
Sometimes, that’s because I found them to be too light-weight in content.
Sometimes, it was because I decided to change direction.
Sometimes, it was because I didn’t like the ethics of the methods presented.
Sometimes I asked for a refund, sometimes I didn’t.
In all of those situations, I wasted my money.
I don’t know how much, and I’m not going to add it all up because I don’t want to know.
I will tell you this though.
I once bought a personal training that cost me $5,000.
I discovered very quickly that I knew more than the trainer, and they wouldn’t refund me.
I should have waited a bit longer and asked for more proof of success.
One thing you can do that improves your chance of making a useful purchase is to contact the vendor with a question or two.
How fast they respond and the quality of their response will help guide your choices.
P.S. You can always ask me anything about anything I’m promoting because I usually only promote products that I have bought and used.
Sometimes, I’ll promote a product from a vendor I trust because I have at least one of their products, even if I don’t have the one I’m promoting.
I own and use multiple products from this vendor, including this one, https://go.wm-tips.com/diamond, because what he produces are simple, easy-to-implement methods.
Most of the time there is no cost to implement these methods either, which has to be a bonus for those starting out or on a low budget.
This is something I’ve been playing with. I’m a fan of home-based solar panels because they can save you a bit of money on your power bills. Unfortunately, most of the sales pitches for solar panels serve you a load of BS. Even when we bought ours, the salesperson didn’t do their due diligence, and we didn’t know any better.
We are in the non-enviable position of getting a good return per kWh that the panels do produce in Summer, which we would lose if we make any changes to our existing system for another few years.
Everyone who reads this email has a power bill.
Some of you will be able to install solar panels to reduce that.
The cost of solar panels has fallen dramatically here in Australia, and I assume it has for most of you as well.
That means that you can cover the cost of installing panels fairly quickly, which is much easier than it was for us.
No, solar energy isn’t free until you’ve paid the cost of installation, but that can happen fairly quickly in the right location.
I’m more convinced than ever today that Internet Marketing is where it is at. Let’s face it, what else could you do, where you bugger off on holiday for a month and still see the income coming rolling in.

Let’s face it, what else could you do, where you bugger off on holiday for a month and still see the income coming rolling in.
For those who’ve not experienced it, the feeling when you check your smartphone or iPad while enjoying a beer overlooking a beautiful holiday sunset and find that a whole bunch of funds have been added to your PayPal account is just fantastic.
It is not as easy as some would have you believe to get to this point in your business…
…however, it is a damn site easier than in the 3D world!
So those of you who are not there yet…
…even if you’ve been trying for some time…
…don’t worry, with the right attitude and knowledge, it CAN happen.
I am hoping that the fact that you are reading this suggests that you already have the right attitude, and so you only need to worry about the knowledge.
The good news is that there is plenty of good training available that will provide you with what you need.
…unfortunately, there is also, frankly, a lot of crap out there as well.
Of course, the trick is investing in the good stuff while avoiding the toilet fodder.
Well, today, I would like to help with this with a program I bought a while back.
I had a bit of a drive the other day, which allowed my mind to wander and to consider my business and Internet Marketing in general. And I came to the conclusion that an online journey was like my car trip… …if we are going to spend a LOT of time on the journey…

What I suppose I’m trying to say is that on occasions, it is good to just stop and ‘smell the roses’ or do something for the fun or novelty factor.
Easier said than done sometimes when you have bills stacking up, the bank getting heavy and seemingly just about everyone else online making a mint!
But it should be because of these things, not despite them, that you revisit the fun-loving child inside you to recharge the batteries, put things in perspective, and give yourself renewed vigour on your journey.
If you don’t find the fun, everything can become a grind, and that is when people quit.
So go on, find that inner child and go do something ‘different’ in what you have left of today.
Those of us who create for a living, that’s everyone attempting to make a living online, are not always inspired to create. It doesn’t matter though. If you want to be successful at this game, however you define success, you have to turn up and be consistent.
Here is an exercise that I posted elsewhere recently, but I think it will work as an add-on here.
It’s certainly easy for me to say, “hey just do your work every day” right?
But sometimes we have reasons we can’t.
Blockages.
Distractions.
Even just plain old excuses.
So here is what you do.
Get a paper calendar.
On the cover, write the thing that you have a daily goal of working on.
This tracking project is all you will use it for.
Get a green marker and a red pen.
On any day when you successfully do some daily work on your goal, put a big green check.
Try to get as many as you can in a row.
That calendar on the wall can help with that.
Motivation.
Here is my own twist on it.
Any day where you fail, write on that day what got in the way.
Write why you didn’t.
Collect these reasons at the end of, say, a six-month period.
How many are there?
How many times did the same thing stop you?
Now, make a plan to eliminate, avoid, or work around those things.
You know what they are.
You know that they’re interfering.
Stop letting them.
This simple process will help you immensely because it highlights and identifies the bogeymen in your brain or the outside forces that hold you back.
Now that you see them, dodge them, and if you can’t, kill them.
That last bit?
A little bit of warning.
What you discover might not always be the best thing to hear – like if your loved ones are constantly interrupting you, for example.
You don’t have to kick them to the curb, though!
But it’s an indication that you need to set aside regular time in a room with a door that locks or even just a quiet spot away from home to make some writing appointment time.
It’s important, so don’t let it get away from you.
Based on the response from Facebook, YouTube, Google, etc., it must be. Google will not show a video from this platform in the first ten search results even if you search for “video of…”. All they deliver are YouTube videos. The other platforms are
It’s still there. www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1007818/111853081054596622. Notice the date for that post. Google had already bought out the original creator by then. Actually, I’m not sure that it was my first post, but it almost certainly was my first blog post.
My last email was a bit harsh. Most people I speak to think I’m paranoid and a worry-wart. I don’t think I am, but I think I’m being realistic. Most of the Global economy is overheated, and it cannot last. Economies have always risen and fallen, and they’re
No, I’m not flogging Bitcoin. I don’t understand how something as volatile as that, with no intrinsic value, can be used as money in the long term. It was an email from one of the financial people who pointed out the reality. Let’s assume that you have built up your retirement fund.
Making money is a transaction between two groups of people. The groups can consist of one or more people in each group. A transaction, more commonly called a sale, is where one group is paid money for a service or goods supplied by the other group. To make money, you
