Just to be different....

More and more people jump on the bandwagon of Internet Marketing and I think that's a good thing. As with any commerce healthy competition is always good. The big boys - the guys that got into Internet Marketing early on were not only able to capture a large share of the market (customer loyalty) and could also charge a premium due to lack of competition. The problem is due to a large customer database and having raked in the money for years these guys will tell you "anyone can do it" and will imply that you can make millions by doing exactly what they do.

Talk about being half right. Anyone can do it, in the way that anyone can do pretty much anything if they put their mind to it. Positive thinking is a powerful thing, just make sure you weigh up all your options.

I am not against any of these guys that have been around for a while (well maybe one or two that I really think use/have used dubious methods), but I don't see why they should be the only ones making real money. If a new shop opens up on the high street do you go and at least look in there or do you refuse because you will always shop 'only here'?

I have had a very busy few months (no, I am not about to launch a new product so no need to worry that I am going to have an amazing product to offer you, or a countdown to when it will be launched) :)

But I have been keeping an eye open (on the rare occasions I've had a few spare minutes) to see what products are coming out, what techniques are being used to sell them and who seems to be doing well in their marketing.

For those of you that don't believe the 'anyone can do it' , check out David Roach - he's no spring chicken and is dong well for himself, but what I particularly like is that he really wants affiliates that are keen to make money - he wants good affiliates to share his 'journey to riches'.

More about what I've been up to in a future post ;)
