Marketing Money Online

Last week my little blog that I just started a few days ago got hundreds of hits a day due to the Stompernet controversy. I was right in thinking that there are few places on the Internet where there is real news or conversation about the Internet marketing niche, because the biggest watering holes on the topic are totally controlled. There are some that wish to control the niche and that means controlling information.

That means there is a big hole for real objective information about the niche. Last week I got several dozen emails from people about Stompernet and some Internet marketing gurus. These were people who have worked with different gurus and know some of them personally. People on the inside.

One guy had a product launched by a group of gurus a few years ago and is now blacklisted by them. Another person saw a Stompernet “faculty” speaker give a presentation and then give off the cuff comments very critical of the company. I got a lot of rumors and it seems that people want me to pass on the information, because they are afraid to do so themselves or want to remain hidden in the background.

My intention with this blog isn’t to just slam people and marketers for the sake of doing so. I want to also talk about what I’ve learned in the IM niche and about the good people in it – not just the bad. Also I’m not going to pass on any information that I can’t verify or that comes from people who will not give their name out no matter how shocking and juicy it may be.

I want to make one comment about the IM niche and who you should trust and stay away from from the perspective of being a consumer of products or someone doing a business relationship with any of the big name marketers.

Here is the deal. These people are great at selling. Some of them do huge launches and many launches a year to generate millions upon millions in sales. They have studied human psychology and selling and have it down to an art form.

When they do million dollar launches using these techniques it gives them a sense of power. It can make one feel they are bigger than life and certainly have a huge power of persuasion over their audience.

Such a thing is going to change a person. It can give a person a sense of humility. It can give a person a sense of honor or joy. But for these good feelings to happen the person has to believe in their product. They have to believe that they are really providing people value and helping them.

If they are not doing these things with the things they sell then they are more likely to look at the people buying them with contempt – to think they are stupid or that they are smarter than they are because they tricked them into buying their product.

People tend to justify the things they do to themselves so instead of recognizing the reality that they ran a scam they hold contempt for the people who bought – thinking it is their fault for being so stupid. They are idiots for just buying stuff and never opening them up or using them they think. 90% of the IM buyers won’t even consumer what they bought – so I can just play my tricks and revel in my power and look down on the little people they may tell themselves.

The thing is any business person who thinks about their customers like that is more of a narcissistic con man than an ethical businessman. They also are likely to begin to hold the whole world in contempt, because they provide no value to the rest of the world, but suck on it like a parasite. As these feelings breed they also will come to see business partners and associates as people to just use too. They’ll even “launch” new products to not give a damn about the people they use to front them – not caring if they crash and burn. All they care about is making money and will do anything for a buck.

So, you can easily tell who in the Internet marketer space you can trust as a buyer or partner and who you can’t. All you need to do is look at the quality of the products they put out. That will tell you all you need to know.

We have two launches coming up right now that are going to get all of the attention in the IM space over the next few weeks.

First Tony Robbins is going to launch his “Money Masters” program. It is really a new rendition of his “Power Talk” series, which was a monthly subscription audio program mailed to people on CD. It’s turning into “Money Masters” which will be a series of Interviews with Internet marketing gurus, the first one being Frank Kern.

According to Kern, “On Tuesday, Sept 1, Tony’s releasing a new product called Money Masters that’s all about achieving financial security and freedom using “new” business models such as info marketing and other cool stuff. It’s a series of DVDs, CDs, and workbooks that are being delivered monthly.”

It will be going out to a lot of Tony’s customers who have never heard of the Internet marketing world or the bigger name players in it so it will give a lot of people a lot of exposure.

The next launch coming up is the Stompernet 9/9/9 launch, which no one really knows what it is about. It is being kept a secret.

On the audio podcast Internet Marketing This Week affiliate marketer Lynn Terry said she wasn’t going to promote the 9/9/9 promotion. She has promoted Stompernet in the past and wasn’t happy with the fulfillment problems they had with the Net Effect last year, being a top 20 affiliate for it. She likes to look at and consume the products before she promotes them to her people and simply hasn’t been told what 9/9/9 is. All she has he so far is “simply hype.”

Who knows what it is.
