Marketer? Person? What are you?

July 1, 2009 Written by Jerry Johnson 0 Comment

In one of the many forums that I have attended as an internet marketer and developer, a very interesting topic of discussion was raised. The question was, who should we put first, the person or the marketer within us. The meaning of the statement was whether when you are making a sale, you get that sale completed by hook or crook, or do you stay within your limits and compromise on marketing. Now, most of you who know me can easily say which view I will take, but the others would simply have to guess. I for myself would not say anything at this moment as I do not want to jeopardize my situation. But the answer will be clarified as we move on.

However, the topic in itself is quite contradictory because we cannot say what really ever defined or defines the juncture of being a marketer and a person. To illustrate how difficult it is to differentiate I would like to use the topic of pop-ups.

I am sure that most of you are aware of pop-ups and for those without the prior knowledge; pop-ups are small windows which pop up at times across your browser window with some message written on it. Usually, it is a form of advertisement that the site owner would like to project to you but at the same time would want you to stay with their site and not leave without taking some action.

It has been found out that these pop-ups are extremely efficient for sales and advertising purposes. However, the back lag is that they can be blocked. If pop-ups are blocked in a PC then the site owner does not get to make much profit through the pop-up. But, pop-up blockers are not used by all and sundry and can be very irritating at times.

I do not like them at all, if you were to ask me about them. Also I use a blocker as I cannot take the headache of going through useless rubbish and find just one useful article. So, I do look up pop-ups sometime but only when they are about something useful. So, they can really bring an income.

Therefore what have you decided, would you continue with pop-ups or just block them.

So, who are you? A marketer or a person?

As for me, I am a person who practices marketing!

Get an ethic for your work; it will make all the difference

June 30, 2009 Written by Jerry Johnson 0 Comment

As a person so much involved with ideas and management of working online, I have to correspond with many online marketers. Sometimes I just like to throw a question their way and analyse whether they will ever succeed in the online business. Most of these questions are related to what they are doing to make the money and how they are scheduling their work. But, many a time I am surprised with the answers just because of the sheer lack of interest and loss of drive that becomes clear through them. Many answer by saying that they get stuffed with a few cans of beer before starting work again. Now this is what I mean by indifference. Bill Gates would never have been the man he is now, if he thought the same. But, most of you would like to think that you are just about to reach success.

Well you never will if you think like this.

Thinking will never change your life but action and motivation to work can. If you just sit about and think the whole day without doing something definitive then you are never going to succeed. As a person who had started very small and was in a dilemma about this online business industry, I have felt similar emotions too. But I have tried hard and not just thought and have even worked for 20 hours in a day when the work so demanded. Now I have reached my success and congratulate myself for the days when I thought of quitting but never did.

However, I must say that I can consider for the people who come from work and have duties to fulfil in their respective spheres. But that does not mean that you totally neglect the online business and do nothing about it just because you are tired. You can watch the television but you can never work after coming from the office. See, if you want to succeed you have to be organized. Also, development of a work ethic, something that you will always bind you during any compromise or danger is important. Sometimes when you have very important dates you need to keep these ethics handy.

But, most people are too lazy enough to have the time to complete the work at hand. No matter how little is left; they always delay and take a break. And they will do this over and over again while continuously losing money all the while. So, they want something that would drop gold in to your lap.

I can evidently give you the right tips of the same but my book is not with me. However a copy can always be got at the Folusho at all times.

I you truly want to learn about work ethics, you will have to build your mind set like that.
