Are Frank Kern, Eben Pagan & Co Just Drug Pushers?

…also titled
“Internet Marketing, Gambling and Addictions
- a comparison”

 

Gambling = put up money in the hopes of a desired outcome which increases the value of original investment.

Internet Marketing = put up money in the hopes of a desired outcome which increases the value of original investment.

But it’s not as clear-cut as that, obviously!
Especially when you think that in gambling you can have no influencce on the outcome of this desired result we’re talking about.
At least in IM you can do lots of things to increase the chances of the happening of this desired outcome, thus increasing the chances of a ‘win’.
The things you can do range from ‘doing more’ such as writing blog posts or articles, or even investing in your education through programmes such as Frank Kern’s Mass Control, Eben Pagan’s Guru Mastermind, or Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula.

But let’s look now at the darker side of things… addiction.

Should there be support groups for people who are Addicted to Internet Marketing? That’s an e-book begging to be written right there! If you do write one then it was totally my idea, and I think I deserve a kickback and a free copy!! ;o)

Addiction? Really?

Well look at the gambler who spends his last penny to try and get that ‘one big win’ that will put him ‘back in the game’… I could imagine an Internet Marketer finding him or herself in the same boat there.
And speaking of addictions, look at the high-cost habit of a cocaine addict… hmmm… people who are always buying into the high-price coaching programs could be compared to this addiction.

So are the ’Gurus’ nothing more than dealers? Pushers? Well, that would be a personal decision - The wife of an IM addict would think so.

My Name’s Tony, and I’m an IM Addict

I have a confession to make: I bought a domain name and some Private Label Resale Rights e-books the other day. Altogether it cost £17.18 (about $35USD), and I HID this fact from my wife!  OOOooohh! dodgy dodgy territory!!
I came clean and told her about it. I felt better, but that feeling faded as I noticed her eyes glaze over as I told her that if I sold even one or two a day at $9.95 that would mean… blah blah

…But it gets worse!

So far, I’ve not hit rock bottom… I can imagine it will involve me running round the streets, knocking on doors, begging people, to let me use their ‘net connection for just a few minutes so I can check my clickbank balance and just read through the latest emails and look at the latest videos from whichever launch is building up…

…no, it’s not come to that..YET! Here’s where I noticed that I have a problem - remember the PLR books I bought? I paid via PayPal. Somehow it’s paying the seller via e-check, which means I have to wait 9 days or so before the payment comes out my bank and into their paypal account!!! I have been climbing the walls, unable to stop checking my paypal account to see if there’s been any changes. I even contacted the seller to ask if they could cancel from their end so I can buy again using a quicker method?! Their lack of response agitates me even more!

 

So please help me get my IM fix:

  1. Leave a comment - (awesome new video/audio comment system below)
  2. Sign up for more updates - (opt-in form below)
  3. Take a look at the blatant affiliate Links below (Just one or two sales could mean enough commissions for me to get more PLRs or something!!!)

Until Next Time,

Tony.

  3. Well, the big difference between gambling and IM is that, in the Internet marketing business, you really can’t fail… If you take smart action, there’s no way in hell you won’t make money.

    (SMART action means, for instance, to “make money before you spend it” (c) Mike Koenigs)
