Phat Marketing

OK, so here’s the idea: I’m cutting myself off from all marketing noise.

Why? :: The Concept

This is because I’m constantly being distracted by shiny objects (launches and marketing emails) that take my focus away from the task at hand.

I was thinking: Do Mike Filsaime, Frank Kern, Eben Pagan, Jason Moffatt, Stephen Dean, Russell Brunson and all the other successful names in Internet Marketing allow themselves to be constantly distracted? I doubt it. I doubt they even see these emails.

So for a few weeks at least, I’m getting off everyone’s lists, flouncing facebook and turning off twitter – any avenue that carries an Internet Marketing message gets shut off so I can take a moment, reboot myself and get on with the task in hand (making a recurring income).

Don’t get me wrong: I’m getting back onto those lists after the experiment is over, as the marketing lessons they provide are invaluable! for example; if a sales letter makes me want to buy the product, then why was it so successful?

In a nutshell, I’ve learned all I need to know to make money online, and now I have to wrench myself away from the habit of learning, and apply the skills I now have – would you benefit from the same?

Day 1 :: The Agony

I’ll be honest, it’s not been easy. I find myself dipping in and out of things, then pulling myself back after realising I was slipping.
Luckily I never took part in any of the online forums (dangerously addictive), but over the months have found myself getting on heaps of lists, and getting every message from Mike Filsaime for example about five times in some cases.

That has been the fun part, hitting unsubscribe on all the duplicates and hitting delete on the messages in my inbox without even reading them.

I’ve been a bit stuck with whjat to do with my time, so found myself turning to the only viable alternative: Productive work.

The results?  A very productive first day, but a bit of a challenge – it’ll get easier, I’m sure.
