Summary: Learn how to leverage Internet marketer mailing lists to get a solid picture on what’s hype and what’s not.
If you are new to Internet business, you might be wondering, “Where do I start”. You probably want to know what products will get you the best information for your money so you can start earning money online, rather than spending it. Also, you’re probably wondering which of the information products are hype and which ones have the stuff you need. That’s a great question because there is a ton of information out there and knowing which one to choose is a tough job.
Well I’m about to give you a tip that will help weed out some of the noise.
Tip One: is get yourself an email account just for Internet business research. By this I mean, set up an account that you’ll only use to sign up for informational product mailing lists. I know the form says “Primary Email” address, but it’s your in box. Put in an address that is dedicated to receiving email from Internet marketers. Then check that box daily.
Tip Two: is sign up for mailing lists that interest you. As you do, you’ll learn a lot about the different categories of products and what each of them can do if you begin to learn the language the Internet marketers are speaking. You’ll also begin to learn who specializes in what and you will get a feel for who you can understand and possibly relate to the best.
Don’t worry about spam, you are using an address dedicated to Internet marketing so you are keeping everything separate from your normal in box. Over time you will see that real Internet marketers are not interested in sharing your information directly with anyone else. In fact their list is considered the life blood of their business so you are less likely to get spam from them than you are from a large corporation.
Tip Three: is be patient. Do yourself a favor and don’t do anything at first. Just sign up for the mailing lists, read what comes in, archive everything for later reference, and just learn. Over time you will begin to learn who is interested in making a quick buck and who is interested in giving you value. I’m not knocking anyone here. People are motivated by different things and the marketer who is interested in giving you value is also trying to make a dollar. He is just going about it in a different way than the guy who is in for the quick turn around.
Tip Four: is read what other people are saying about the product before you buy anything. If you read what people have said about products in the past then you might be able to get an idea of what a particular Internet marketer will sell in the future. If they have put out solid information and quality products, then they are likely to again in the future.
Tip Five: is the most important I think. By signing up to multiple mailing lists you will start to see overlapping emails messages. This usually happens when a product is being launched and multiple Internet marketers are pitching the product to their lists. Now there is nothing wrong with this, but if all the marketer is doing is copying and pasting the message into the box and expecting you to buy, then that will quickly show up when four messages come in that all exactly the same.
As a buyer of information you want to know that someone is in your corner and that you are getting value out of your dollars. The marketers who are truly creative and who are interested in promoting good products to their lists will take the time to craft a personalized email message to their list. In my experience, these marketers are interested in quality and long term money making practices which means more than likely they have actually reviewed the product or will at least tell you if it may not be for you.
So, get an email address, sign up for some lists, learn as much as you can, and remember that this whole Internet thing has been churning for years and your not going to miss the train if you don’t jump now. In fact, you can avoid throwing yourself under the train if you will just step back and take the time to look, listen, and learn. Then when you’re ready you’ll be better equipped to pick the best product that will give you the most value for your money.
Keep reaching for success,
