Watch & Listen

January 8, 2010 · Posted in Info Product, Internet Marketing, WAHM, Writing 

Moving on now, lets look at the second thing that we noticed when comparing those that have succeeded and those that haven’t. They all did something extremely important. Instead of going for any of the other paths, they decided very smartly, that the way to succeed for them was to sit back, not do as much work as they could do, but instead, watch, listen, and read. What are they watching listening and reading? Simple, other marketers.

I can think of so many examples of this, and when I try to explain how this works, it often goes down the wrong way, and I’m told something along the lines of, I’ve tried to get involved with this marketer, he’s real successful, and I think he or she is the final piece of the puzzle for me. Well, when I say get involved, watch listen, read, and learn, you don’t necessarily have to be in direct contact with this marketer, or have made any deals with them, or even ever have to make any deals with them. This is something that it’s totally within anyone’s grasp to do and control, there’s no relying on anyone but yourself.

Here’s an example for you from my personal experience. As I went along, starting from back in 1999, when I started to see marketing in a serious light, I went around and searched out those that were successful. I didn’t contact them, I didn’t try to strike any deals with them or anything like that. What I did do however, was subscribe to their lists. Read their sales letters, bought and looked at their products and the way they were doing things.

This instantly solved one big problem for me. The stuff that I was doing when I first started, didn’t work. I knew something had to change, but with the flood of how to products, most of them contradictory, where the heck was I going to get this information from? And in the same circumstances, how are you going to find out what works and what doesn’t work once you’ve finished this guide? Your own research, yes, to an extent, but look at what’s happening around you.

There’s thousands of successful people out there, and no matter what happens, there’s always going to be someone in your target market that’s already been and continues to be successful where many others fail. So why not copy them? I’m not talking about taking their products, and re-writing them and selling them on under a different name, not only would that be unethical and effect future relationships, but it would probably get you into a whole load of trouble.

However this doesn’t stop you from watching and learning. What techniques are they using to make their sales letters super effective? How are they going about adding value and eliminating risks for their customers? What are they doing to score joint ventures? What type of products are they promoting to their lists, and when? There’s an endless supply of information that you need to know to be successful as an online marketer, and it’s forever changing. There’s only two ways that you can keep up with the times, become successful and stay successful.
