I just sent an email off to someone that is promoting something new.  Why you may ask, because I am interested in there product and I had a lot of questions.  I of course wanted to know WIIFM (What’s In It For Me).  Which is what you and everyone should always ask themselves.  What is in it for me?

Whenever you are interested in a product or service, the person selling most likely always has a blog or an email address that you can contact them with and ask questions(if not, don’t buy).  So, don’t be shy, ask questions, find out what you are buying before you buy.  If they either don’t respond back to you, or just outright don’t answer the question(s) you asked, then I would not buy it.  Like I said in a previous post, if you buy something, use it within a reasonable time limit that you set for yourself, otherwise it was just money pi&&ed away down the drain.

Look at every facet of the product or service you are about to purchase and then ask questions(if you have any).  The answers should help you in deciding if you should buy or not.  Price is not a factor, the factor is if you could use this product and what it can do for you and or your business!

Here is to your next purchase,  Cheers!

If you are into any kind of Internet Marketing, you know that you get a lot of emails all day long.  Now, the question is do you constantly check your email?  If you do, you should be setting a time for once or twice a day to check your email.  Just think of all the time wasted just checking your email all the time.  If you set a time in your busy day to check your email, you are setting yourself up for more time to spend on your business.

I had someone tell me, “But I have to check my email in case one my customers needs something!”  True, that may happen, but the email will still be there for you when you check it at your predetermined time. Theres is a solution.  You could have two email addresses, one for your regular business stuff and one where you have it directed to an email set exclusively for customers.  That way you would only have to check the regular business stuff just once a day and the customer one a few times a day.

Here’s a tip, when you check your business stuff, do it at the end of the day, that way you won’t get too distracted.  The less time you spend checking your email, the less time you have for business.

These are some suggestions for you on buying software and ebooks, also what to do you with your inbox.

First I would like to say that if you are going to buy an ebook or some software that after you buy it, use it!  Don’t just let it sit on your hard drive collecting dust.  If you bought an ebook, read it and see if it is what you thought it was.  Make sure that you apply all the tactics in it so you can get the full benefit of the information.  So many people buy stuff and never even look at it, don’t be one of those folks, you can do it.  Also with software, if you buy it, use it.  Read the instructions of the software and learn how to use it properly.  If you buy something try to use it within a 24 hour period or you may forget about it.

Remember, if you buy it, apply it!

Second thing I wanted to inform you about is letting your email inbox getting too full.  A friend of mine, Greg Mulac once told me, “Delete it!”  Delete the inbox and unsubscribe from anyone that is just sending you offers all the time.  They are just taking up your precise time.  If you bought something from someone or they are sending you usefull information than keep them, otherwise they are a waste of time.  Time that you could be working on your business!  Use your own common sense about this, you may need to stay subscribed to some that are important to you.

I hope these tips were usefull to you, because they are indeed gems in thier own right.

To your success online,

This may be controversial to some but it is my pet peeves on some Internet Marketers.

Some things I detest is when I receive an email from some marketer and the headline reads “Scott, your Free Download…”   and when I open it, they go on to tell me that if I buy something that I will get a free download of whatever it is that they have to offer me as a bonus for some affiliate product they are trying to sell me.  Sorry, but I will not buy and I will most likely unsubscribe from their list.  If you have a bonus for me, just tell me.  Yes,  it did get me to open your email. but it ticked me off also!  So, please don’t do this.  Just a suggestion for anyone into trying this.  There are other ways a whole lot better than that.

Another pet peeve of mine is when I am an affiliate for someone they think it is a regular list I am subscribed to and think they can send me offers for either their stuff or other peoples stuff.  Please don’t do this I will most likely unsubscribe from your affiliate program and not promote your products.  I am an affiliate of yours, not a subscriber, I have better things to do with my time than read some useless offer that I am not interested in because I would rather have you send me better ways to sell your product or better tools to use for selling it.

These are just a couple of my main pet peeves, if you have some or would like to comment on this post, please do so.  I would love to hear and share your pet peeves with everyone about the things that tick you off about some marketers.

Thanks for reading and don’t let my rant get to you too much, i will have better stuff coming soon!

To your success,

Scott
