How can they do it?
Hey,are you new here? You should subscribe to my RSS feed miss out on any goodness!
You know, the more I am around, the more marketers I run into. I joined the mailing lists of a lot of the “top name” marketers, you know, I thought I better be on their lists, because, they are the “go to” people.
But, what I realize more and more is that most don’t really care about you as a customer or reader, they just see you as a number, a dollar on their mailing lists.
Some of them do nothing more than show me the next “must have” product, every single day! But then, and what is starting to bother me more than anything, is when these superstar marketers start promoting obviously bad or “somewhat shady” products.
I just don’t see how they can do it, I mean, lately, I’ve seen so many of the top marketers promoting the newest make money taking surveys programs, and it’s pretty bad. I won’t get into the actual program, I will save that for another post.
Let just say this, despite the fact that it went against my better judgment, I went for it. I mean, I had to check out this new program that all the top marketers were promoting, maybe it was different than the hundreds of other survey site crap programs….hmmmm….if so, I know my readers will want to know about it.
Needless to say, I got a refund! But it just made me think, is there many marketers that do so with integrity? Or is it just about building a list, throwing crap at the wall, and seeing how much of it sticks? I see both sides, but, I just can’t get with that. So, as you know, I’ve been moved to unsubscribe from multiple newsletters because of this.
I am very thankful for the few marketers that prove to be genuine people, and actually care about people. I know I won’t get them all, but some who have literally had a major impact on my outlook and method of marketing are:
Sean Mize- this guy is the best, straight forward and never about any crap, willing to help anyone who is serious, not about nickles and dimes here, he helps you build a real business. This guy answers his own email….not many do
Holly Mann- the sweetest marketer I have every met, she genuinely cares about people and is willing to help anyone, answers her own email
Ryan Moran - he started the whole social networking marketing thing, back before it was the next “in thing” and he genuinely is there to help people, answers emails himself
Todd Allan - you may not know Todd, and that’s okay, just do a search for long tail treasure, this guy is all about helping others, and doesn’t over promote his mailing list at all, but has an awesome course teaching you affiliate marketing, answers emails
the Davinator - he won’t promote every single thing, and will give you the low down on anything he promotes if you ask for it, answers emails
Travis Sago - the original bum marketer, very helpful, offers free courses and lot’s of good info, I have never tried to email him, but he is very helpful in the Wealthy Affiliate forum…helping out any who ask
I’m really grateful for these marketers, there are plenty others, but I think these few, they have proven that there are honest people out here on the internet.
some of the other marketers I like can be seen in my links……..I haven’t been involved with them as long to form my full opinion, but as it stands they are moving up high into my “do trust” list
TM Harris, Matt Garrett, Brian Campbell, Jack Humphrey, Bloggernoob, …… there are probably a few more, I am just drawing a blank at this moment.
The point is, I am focusing in on only those offering good information, and, I am purging my inbox of the ones that promote junk and do nothing more than promote to me.
