As I returned to my computer just now, I had to chuckle: at any given moment I am running no less than two to three different marketing programs, either surfing for credits, blasting ads or something! You know, it almost makes me wonder if that guy was right. . . maybe I should kill myself. LOL!
But that's what happens when you get into marketing. People who know a salesman know what I mean. They just can't turn it off! I find myself doing it. People innocuously enough ask how business is-- and I'm there I go! Well, it's their fault! They asked! Before I know it, I'm in the midst of explaining a downline or a matrix or article marketing or the intricacies of forums-- then I stop myself, realizing it was only a polite question.
I also feel duty-bound to let them know that, yes, I am making money online. And, no, it isn't just "the gurus and the scam artists" who do this (I was assured of as much by someone when I first started working online). It's regular people, you and me.
Am I busy? Hell, yes! But that's only because, with each new project, about five new ideas mushroom out of no where. And then, of course, I slow myself down, with my own stupidity. I spent about an hour this morning explaining to prospective OPFM sign-up the differences between being in OPFM Flip Series and being in the OPFM Miracle Matrix-- and only as I finished did I realize I could have just sent him to the public area of the OPFM forum (which I manage) where I'd already set up a ton of information for the public-- in the way of FAQs pages and OPFM Basics, etc. I even put a special area there called Q&A, where non-members can post a question for moderators to answer. Shoot. I could have saved over an hour this morning. All I really needed to do was tell him to check out the public area of the forum!
What's really ironic about that is, I've been trying to get ALL the OTHER members to use that area! I keep telling them: send your prospects to the public area; there's a ton of info on OPFM, lots of explanations. But when I could have done the same thing? Hoo-boy.
Well, like I always say: live and live-- you never learn!--mo
