One of the biggest 'pitfalls' inside a membership site, a pitfall that will cause members to quit!
Information overload
This is the most dangerous thing for a 'Newbie'...
And once Inside a membership site you can definitely experience 'Information Overload' if you're not very careful...
Which is why it is so important to get involved where someone will be there to get in touch with and break it down for you and make absolutely certain you KNOW exactly what to do, where to start...
First, here comes a REAL shocker!
Did you know some people do not need to learn as much as others?
That's right. Many out here on the NET will not have to learn near as much, while others will have to learn a zillion things; i.e, free advertising, how to post on Craigslist, Backpage, how to drive traffic through Facebook and a whole bunch of more stuff related to marketing and building your Opportunity or Business...
And the reason is that some people have more money to put out when it comes to advertising and others don't so those who are less fortunate at this time have to struggle to LEARN marketing techniques and sneaky Black Hat ways and all the free advertising platforms, and methods that may be available.
The others or those who don't really have money but know that the basic rule in any business is you have to spend money to make money and they simply plug in to platforms, and don't really care how it works as long as it does work. i.e; Solo ads, Safe Swaps, Media Buys, Pay Per Clicks, et cetera et cetera...many more out there
LISTEN TO WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ AND REALLY REALLY PONDER ON THIS!
If you truly understand that you have to spend money to make money in any business then you will ONLY spend money on a few things;
- Driving Traffic to your Website
- List Building
- Email Marketing to build relationships/communicate and bond with your list you are building
-- List Building (Relationships/Bond/Communicate)
-- Email Marketing (Effectiveness/Efficiency and Track Results)
Let me illustrate my point:
Joe is a member and loves it. He is so ready to earn money online from the comfort of his home. But right now he has a full time job, and a family to pay attention to. Joe has tried to make money before on the Internet and in an MLM but failed. He's spent a good bit of money in the past only to gain nothing.
So Joe's tired of 'wasting' money and though he hasn't given up on his quest to make money from home he has decided to not spend any more money on his online business venture.
He spends hours surfing online in Safelists so he can build his credits in hopes that someone sees his landing page and subscribes.
He also struggles through learning how to post on the free classified sites, including that monster of frustration Craigslist and others.
Time passes and nothing happens - He is ready to finally quit once and for all.
Meanwhile, Sally is also a member. Only Sally happens to believe sacrificing now to obtain her dreams tomorrow, and though she also works hard and has a family to take care of she has decided to do whatever it takes to make this happen even if it means doing without to spend money on her business.
So she buys a few solo ads, joins Safe Swaps, gets an autoresponder, and takes the time to truly learn eMail Marketing.
She does not 'surf', she does not post, and definitely doesn't believe that free advertising can really change your life dramatically. Anyway, even if it did she darn sure doesn't have the time.
MY QUESTION TO YOU - WHO'S LIST IS BIGGER OVER TIME?
Who would you bet on to be successful?
MY POINT TO ALL OF THE ABOVE IS SIMPLY THIS:
Yes, you can be overwhelmed inside some IM training platform where you could easily be swamped with information and so much to learn.
REMEMBER THIS: When you do become a member of a site look for those Key Things provided that give YOU the "Bang for Your Buck" and make simplified that even the person who knows nothing will understand and therefore bypass the 'learning curve' and all the frustrations that come with it and begin to make money on the NET much quicker!
Friends "Keep the Focus"...
1) Traffic
2) List Building
3) Email Marketing
