Musings:

Should You be Paid?

I received an e-mail from one of my respected mentors advertising a
marketing system from a third party that he has used effectively to
increase his income. He was so impressed with his results that he
was promoting this system with a direct link (no affiliate
connection.) He had been benefited and wanted to return the benefit.

He made it a point that he was not financially benefiting from any
sales from this link. Obviously, he wanted to lend added
credibility to the product. His stature as a marketer puts him in a
position with his list that already has credibility. Did he need to
take this extra step?

I had a mixed reaction. He explained his relationship with the
system creator. He was giving back for what he had received. He has
probably reached the level where the income from these sales would
not change his life style. He will probably receive back more in
good will and cooperative benefits to more than make up for the
lost income. I greatly respect his expertise.

On the negative side, since he is a well-established marketer with
a large following, less experienced marketers may be induced to
take this approach as a tenet of the gospel of marketing. They may
copy this approach, expecting the same type of good things to
happen to them. Because they have not yet reached the credibility
level of the guru, they may instead just appear to be afraid to
receive what they deserve. If this marketer has a past history of
promoting products simply for the commission, without regard for
the quality of the product, this approach may help to rehabilitate
the credibility.

For some people on your list, any advertising is anathema. They
will expect you to give them the full benefit of your expertise
without charge or promotion. It is just as well to say goodbye to
these freeloaders anyway. Most of your problems come from this
group.

The conclusion is that there is no definitive answer as to whether
on a particular promotion you should be paid through an affiliate
arrangement. These types of questions keep marketing exciting. The
answer of the gurus is to test. Not everything that you try is
going to work out. When one idea fails try something else.

I wish all of you great marketing success.

A Bit of Philosophy

It is almost as destructive not to respect and love oneself as it
is to respect and love only oneself.

This is destructive because it generates energy directed against
the life that is constantly present and flowing within us. It is
doubly damaging; for we are both the hangman and his victim.

It is harmful to reject a human being; it is harmful to be
rejected. When we do not respect or love ourselves we commit both
offenses.

from "You are not the Target", by Laura Archera Huxley. New York:
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1963.

Information Overload

As with most successful people in business, I subscribe to a number
of relevant publications, both print and on-line. It may take a
while, but eventually you get a sense of which writers have
something of value for you. These are the publications that you
read. Once you have determined that a certain e-zine or magazine
does not speak to your present situation, you can either
unsubscribe or just ignore it. Some publications are helpful for
specific projects or for a specific phase of your work, so how you
categorize each one may change.

You may want to read the works of writers who provide information
that is not directly related to your work, but are writing in an
area that interests you, or in which you have personal concerns.
Some publications are worth a quick scan for that occasional gem.

When you are first exposed to the wealth of information available,
you may be tempted to spend all your time reading anything that
could potentially be helpful. The information overload can be
crippling. For example, a big area of hype on the internet now is
video on your website or even in e-mail. The subject is tempting
enough to want to spend a lot of time learning all about it. It
seems like a technology that could really boost my marketing
efforts. The fact is that I am not yet ready to put a video
presentation into place. Any study in this area, at the moment, is
time taken away from my business plan. This time is better spent in
current projects. I may find greater profit in never learning about
website video at all. Experts are available for hire.

It is too easy to follow every new idea and never complete the work
that would bring success. Business success does not come from
knowing, it comes from applying that knowledge in action. If you
are reading too much material that is not immediately relevant, you
don't have time to act. That information will be available when you
are ready to use it. You don't need it now.

If you are following your numbers, you will know when it is time to
bring in a new project. Choose carefully what you will add and
devote your reading time and your action to that focus. The numbers
can also direct you to the most suitable new areas for your
business. Don't get so caught up in the advertising excitement of
any idea outside your focus that you lose your way. Looking at the
total chart can tell you what projects or what new technologies fit
your business and which ones may take you off-track.

You may find it beneficial to engage the services of a professional
numerologist for this purpose, or you may want to learn numerology
for yourself by taking my class at University of Masters (See the
link above.)
