How to Avoid the Trap of Incessant Product Launches
There is an ugly trend I see these days on the internet. And it is that of stacking up so much knowledge and using none of them.
Have you ever seen anyone go crazy on product launches and allowing himself to be so emotional when viewing sales pages that he outrightly buys everything he sees on display?
Sure you have!
All in a bid to be successful on the internet, people rack up bills on their credit cards.
It is estimated that over 170,000 start a home-based business every month.
Believe me a great percentage of them fail because they get into this feeling of getting ready to get ready.
Don’t Get Me Wrong…
Some of you might be wondering out aloud, “What is wrong with product launches?”
And I answer, “Nothing is wrong with product launches.”
Obviously I’ve purchased products from the internet and I still plan on doing so in the future.
But you might want to consider this: Success in this industry is not as complex as we tend to make it to be.
If you want to be successful as a network marketer, here are two things you need to do:
- Get Quality leads
- Get them on a presentation, webinar or a live event.
It’s that simple!
Now obviously, there are many things embodied in between those two. But know this:
“Even before the arrival of the internet, people had always being making money in Network Marketing.”
In fact, I still know people who still make money in Network Marketing without the tremendous leverage of the internet.
The great advantage of the internet is the leverage it gives through the myriad of marketing methods that makes it easy to get laser-targeted leads.
However,
…this could also be a Network Marketer’s Downfall
You see, you do not need all these marketing methods that the so-called gurus are ‘copywriting’ you to pay for.
Believe me, you already know enough to start on your journey to success.
Don’t be haphazard. Don’t insist on knowing all the article marketing tactics, craiglist techniques, video marketing secrets, forum marketing strategies etc.
You will only run into tons and tons of debt.
Rather insist on getting yourself started on a particular method of marketing and do it faithfully. Move on consistently devoted in that direction.
Don’t worry about anything else just focus on the task at hand and get results.
I have been in the industry for a while and I have seen people of all kinds get amazing results with all kinds of methods. So don’t tell me you’re not getting results you desire and therefore want to jump ship.
Focus is the key!
My Sincere Recommendation…
I understand what it means to be a newbie.
You are excited! There is an emotional roller-coastal.
You are thinking to yourself that nothing in the world can stop you now from earning some crazy cash from the internet!
You are saying now is the time to show that good-for-nothing boss of yours that you can finally quit your 9-5 job!
***sighs***
Tread carefully! Don’t get burnt!
Don’t go chasing after PPC or some advanced copywriting skills now.
I advise that you start with Social Media (facebook, twitter etc) for the following reasons:
- It is free
- It is huge
- Done the right way you can make money from the onset
- In my own opinion, it has the shortest learning curve
- You get to develop very strong personal relationships
When done the right way, Social Media is a place to start and then move on from there.

Hi ‘Tosin,
I received money advice from a 6 figure internet marketer early in my career: until you can afford to pay for marketing, don’t pay for marketing.
Learning free techniques inside-out forces you to become an expert, because to create content you need to acquire knowledge.
When you’ve made your fortune, feel free to plug into paid methods exclusively. Until then, learn and earn.
Thanks for sharing!

Hey Ryan,
The best a newbie can do is get free training because with paid training there will be unnecessary pressure and it could adversely affect the newcomer.
Good advice by the internet marketer.
Thanks for adding to the discussion, Ryan!

Hi Tosin,
The best advice is as you suggest, choose one method and stick with it until you get results. Social Media is the best option for all the reasons you mention. Well said Tosin.

Hey Marcus,
Yeah, get results with the method you are focusing on and don’t go chase another until you do so.
Rightly said, Marc! Thanks for the comment.

Hey Tosin,
You were really on point with this post Tosin. So many of us have gotten excited over Product Launches, that we start buying like crazy, which in turn started hurting our pockets.
I have to totally agree with you when you suggested starting with social media. The word Free is not only great motivation, but also you can learn what to do and what not to do in internet marketing without putting a hurting on your pockets!
Take Care

Hey Sherman,
I guess alot of marketers are victims of this. And you are right with the statement about FREE. It is encouraging.
Thanks for another great comment, Sherman!

Excellent post Tosin! The “Guru’s” like dangling shiney objects that they claim will take the Newbie buyer straight into wealth and independance literally overnight!
We all know in out MIND that you can’t skip the learning part unless you spend the money to hire people who already know how to do that task for us.
That’s why the “Warlock” Marketer’s (Sorry Charlie, I had to!) use their “Magic” marketing techniques and Hypnotic videos to get people to buy with their HEARTS!
They arouse enough emotions in people that their mind cannot over-ride their heart and they buy what they would not normally buy.
Then that information sits in their machine or in their head (for the small percentage who do study what they buy) and they never take action on it, so they don’t ask for a refund and the “Guru” laughs all the way to the Bahama’s AND the bank!
Thanks again for hitting a nerve with another great post Tosin!

Hey Bertram,
I may be wrong but when I hear stories of information marketers who brag of having sold millions of dollars worth of informational product, I think of the many people who fell for what they really do not need.
I sincerely think that it is wrong to take advantage of those who are gullible. What is painful is that they do it in such a way that these people do not ask for a refund.
That’s why there is always a need for education about the industry we have found ourselves.
That’s a powerful comment, Bertram! Thanks for stopping by!

Tosin,
Great advice man… take what you’re learning and implement it right away… that’s the best way to take what you learn and make sure you remember it.
I couldn’t agree more… what’s the point of spending money if you don’t use what you learn to make money.

Hey Jordan,
Great to see you here man!
You are right when you say what’s the point of spending money if you don’t use what you learn to make money. It doesn’t make sense to me either.
Thanks for the comment, Jordan!

Hey Tosin,
I couldn’t agree with you more. FOCUS is so key = Focus On One Course Until Successful!
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tosin,
“If it’s free, it’s for me” fits in here real nicely. I know everyone wants “instant” results these days. They have much to learn about delayed gratification. If you want instant results, then you need to be able to afford the price it costs to get them.
Steven Schmeltzle recently posted..Facebook PPC Gets You Instant Traffic
Hey Steven,
I think free is also for me too.
You are spot on about delayed gratification. True entrepreneurs realize that it is inevitable and that the rewards sure comes.
Thanks Steven!

Boy this opens up a can of worms. I admit I have gotten into this syndrome before but I have been fairly lucky and have stuck to some quality programs.
Clickbank is turning into a money pit with a lot of bad material and it’s a shame because it really taints the really good material to be found there. Great advice.

Hey Steve,
I used to find clickbank attractive. Now it scares me.
It’s never advisable to burn holes in one’s pocket buying things you’d never use.
I’m always glad to read your comments, Steve!
