Ladies and Gentlemen, Mark Joyner has left the building!
That’s right. After many pronouncements, and many
many emails from affiliates selling his “going away”
package, one of the most successful and influential
Internet Marketing gurus has officially retired.
Or has he?
The retirement of Mark Joyner from the world
of Internet Marketing, where he made millions
in a few short years, has been the subject of
much debate online. There are those who take
Mark at his word and believe he’s gone for good.
And, there are many who believe this is just the
end of the first act. They think Mark will be back
online with something new and maybe even revolutionary
to promote. Still, others think the whole thing is a
big scam to drain every last dollar out of those
eager and gullible enough to part with it.
What is the truth?
Who knows?
Why should you or I even care? Mark came to the
Internet. He saw. He conquered. Good for him.
Now what does that have to do with your success
online? Not much. Many people follow these
Internet gurus hoping to find the key to their
own online success. True, some have actually made
good money by regurgitating the teachings of people
like Mark. They rode his bandwagon to their own
success. But ever ask yourself why someone like
Mark is getting out of the Marketing to Marketer’s
biz?
Maybe because it’s getting harder and harder for
even gurus to make a decent profit from the over
crowded field of marketing players. Seems like
every newbie and their mother wants to start up
a web site to promote Internet marketing
information. Are you one of them?
Millions of people saw gurus like Mark making
big bucks and thought they could imitate them
and do the same. Well, you can’t. Know why?
Because, you’re not Mark Joyner. Or you’re not
(fill in the name of your favorite marketing
guru here). No matter what they tell you or what
you might believe, you can’t duplicate their success.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
The field is so crowded with marketing guru
wannabes that hardly anybody is making money.
The few who are, make themselves part of the
guru circle of special friends. That’s why you
see the same people promoting each other and giving testimonials every time you read a sales letter
for the latest marketing ebook or seminar. If you
can become a part of the inner circle, you have a
chance. But do you have the cash and resources it
takes to do this? How many people can realistically
be a part of that lucrative inner circle?
It’s time for a reality check, people. Many of us
have lost money trying to run with the big dogs.
I say it’s time for a change.
It’s okay to read the material of the big dogs to
learn the basics of Internet marketing, but then,
it’s time to go out on your own. Use that knowledge
to come up with your own UNIQUE idea to promote online. Internet marketing is a means to an end for most of
us, not the way to wealth.
If you don’t believe me, ask all those other folks
who have tried and given up. If you’re getting
discouraged, don’t throw in the towel just yet.
Try being yourself. That’s right. Let your hair
down. Time to put your dog to bed. Remake that loser marketing site into something you really enjoy pursuing.
Maybe you won’t make millions like Mark, but I
guarantee you’ll have a lot more fun online.
