OK OK OK enough is enough.

Ok, I have had it...

After spending the last month learning, educating myself, and reading endless "Informative" email after email, I finally found the truth. Everyone wants mine and your money. They talk out of both sides of their mouths, and their motivation is with a forked tongue.

I have listened to person after person say: "In this current economic crisis, we need one another..." Well, that is very true. We do need one another... TO BE HONEST!

I have watched millionaire after millionaire, or just the wealthy, pull people into calls, webinars, and such, only to have the back end to say : "For $500 you can sell our product, and make money."

What happened to being there for one another? If the economy is SO BAD how am I supposed to shell out $500 for some program, just to resell it?

If I had a product (And very soon I will.) I will have an open affiliate program. WHY? Cause everyone deserves an equal chance to MAKE MONEY. Not just a tight knit group of people, who sell the same thing to one another. Why do you have to convince me, that your product is so GREAT its worth $500? After that, its like this.

I paid $500 or whatever the price is, for your product and now I have to lure others into our circle and sell them the same thing, and that's how I make money. That is PYRAMID marketing, and died with the ON FOOT excel program I was in years ago. Remember Amway, Avon, etc...

I write this with total passion, and disappointment and disgust. Allow me to elaborate some more.

These people in a "network" tell me, use twitter, blog, network with people, do this, do that, don't buy leads. Only to turn around, and tell me, thats wrong and stupid and that I am just following the herd. OK... Did you not just tell me to do these things last month? Or did I just dream about social marketing and networking?

So which is it "GURUS"? Do we listen to you, or do we learn on our own through our own education, experiences, failures and successes?

Ok, (Shaking off the filth and lies)... This is what I have been doing. NOT BUYING INTO ANYTHING that cost over $20. Why? Well, the only service I know that cost $500 is to have my car tuned up, a plumber if a pipe bust, or minor surgery.

I also listen to what EVERYONE is saying, and take it ALL in... I mean every bit of it, if its junk or not. So the next time I see junk, I throw it away as junk should be.

Here are my suggestions:

1.) Research the program you are buying into, or registering free for.

2.) BE HONEST with everyone, hype marketing is effective, but be honest about it. We all need motivation.

3.) READ READ READ LEARN LEARN LEARN. You can never know too much.

4.) Be yourself, you are selling yourself here people. No one is going to buy into a program thats profitable and free, if your not yourself. Personally, lately, everyone is doing this "How can I help you..." routine, and once I balk at their offer, they disappear.

Now that I am done, start looking at the emails you are getting, who are they from? Allot of "gurus" promote multiple items, and are telling everyone something different. I am not speaking about ALL gurus, there are good people out there. But as in any business, once the public wakes up, and learns, they take over and a revolution begins. Time for old money to leave, and new money to come in. SEE YA SHARKS...

Thanks for reading guys. Hope you found my tirade entertaining, and informational.

Random marketing rant: Spam and Bots

Ok, so I have been twittering a bit lately.

Over a 48 hours period I noticed the same bot posting the same link, with a different Ad type before it. I clicked it several times, only to find it was a product called "Twitter Trick" or something like that. At the bottom was the original price of $7 crossed out, and is now available for $5.00! WHAT A DEAL, from a  spam bot that treats us with no dignity what so ever!

To my surprise, everyone is aware of this, and this person is still posting. In my opinion, it is going to be people like this that make sites like twitter, another overwhelmed ad depot.

Now, I have also been receiving spam, only a silly level. No warm invite, no hello, just "HEY RON, wanna make money in 24 hours?" HELL NO, I say to that.

NOW, a certain percentage of the people they spam may buy into their product. I however, will not buy a product, no matter how high quality it is, from a spam email. As a matter of fact, I contact their affiliate company so they are not ruined by spammers. I should have more to do with my time other than reporting spammers. But these are the people who are ruining the chances of honest people. People like myself and others that want to help people, make a little cash, and help others do the same. not take their money and run.

 If enough spam emails pop up with your name or a business name in it, your reputation will be tainted to a degree. This is very important if the program you are in is being spammed. It could effect your future revenues, and that is not good for anyone. 

(REPORT SPAMMERS TO THE PROGRAM THEY SPAMMED YOU FROM.)

I suggest, once a company or individual bust a spammer, to add their name to a database. That we could search and know not to do business with them, or to assist them and turn them into a dignified marketer.

"My suggestions to you."

Treat your leads, clients, or customers with dignity, a charitable attitude, and NEVER ask for money. Show them what you are offering, and not by force. Just simply make it available to them. If you are offering something of quality, and are available to answer questions, people will run to you and hand you money. I say that not as a money hungry marketer, I say that as a consumer in this country.

If you treat me with respect, show me the way, and are always available, I will work with you forever. Treat me like another lead, be disingenuous and try to get in my wallet from the first date. You are done, however I may contact you to offer you some tips to help bring integrity to your approach.

I hope this rant of mine has been helpful. We have been updating the website with much more valuable information. Stop by, look us over, and leave a comment.

Pay it forward: Cliche or reality?

Pay it Forward: Cliche or reality?


In times of crisis people will try and find solice in something that eases the pain of the current situation in life. Most times this is their god, in our present time it happens to be OURSELVES.

Although in the midst of this we must have some sense of spirituality. If not, we will lose ourselves totally. Have you ever performed a good deed, and did not expect anything in return for it? Have you noticed that when something good happened to you, you found yourself reflecting on a deed that you performed, and consider that, the universe requiting you? If so, you understand the laws of attraction. If not, its simple...

All things in life are energy, and through that, all entities on earth, in the universe and so on, are connected. "A butterfly flaps it wings..." This law does not apply to one thing, it applies to ALL things. We can find this in most religions and spiritual beliefs.

Over the last decade I have seen so many people online just trying to get that almighty dollar, and they do it at any cost! I say, to hell with all that nonsense, lets get real. 100 yrs ago people got by, by doing what? Helping one another. Families were tight knit, the entire family was a well oiled machine that kept the factory running. Somewhere society lost sense of that with the advent of "Material possessions" and this caused a "Gold Rush" of sorts. Gotta get mine, before you get yours. Then you can get yours, from me, at an inflated cost.

Break the mold, and prove to the world that we can change, we can make a difference, and no one will stop us from ever reaching our goals. Not ourselves, not our peers, not a single solitary soul.

Thanks for listening my friends, best wishes.

DANGER Sharks in the water!

Warning, Warning, Shark in the water... make that SHARKS!
I am making it a point to seek out sharks online, daily.

WHY RON? You may Ask. This is why.
Education, Knowledge, and training.

That's right, you can learn from these sharks and not repeat their mistakes.
Just take a look at their false promises and ideology.

"You can be rich, quick", "Do you want to make $5,000/ month.", "I can show you how to be a millionaire."

Pfffftttttttt... The sad thing is, I have fallen for this before. I am assuming some of you may have, if you have not... I am glad you found me first.

Lets take a look here, get rich quick. What does that mean exactly? A day, a week, month, year, decade, millennium? If its a snail selling you the product, I would be more apt to believe in what they are selling.

Would you buy a product that stated
"Paint your entire vehicle in less than 2 minutes!"
or
"Learn to perform brain surgery in 2 weeks!"
or
"Give birth in less than a month!"

The last one being a more of cynical side coming out, the others would just be poor products. If you painted your car in 2 minutes what would it look like? If you learned surgery in 2 weeks, how many people would you dispose of in the end? Do you get my point?

Nothing in life will come to you fast. (Unless you win the lottery, even then you have to wait.). If you desire success, and prosperity, you must WORK at it. Anything in life worth having, comes with sacrifice, and work. As my mom always told me, "There are no short cuts in life... Never take the easy way out, there is always a catch."

She was right. have you ever paid $100 to join a program, with NO mentoring, NO training. Just a list of stuff to listen to, and ebooks. What the heck are we supposed to do with that after we spend an additional $69.95 for another product? That's the catch, and you tried to take the easy way out and not work hard, so you did sacrifice, but only your hard earned cash.

The moral of this blog: Work hard, be honest, and treat others as you would want to be treated. Not as you have been treated.

You don't have to hustle every dollar you make out of people. Let them come to you. If your product, training, and information is honest and forthcoming, people will seek you out, and pay you to help them. Why do people go to Auto Zone? Is it the million dollar advertising budget? Probably, but people also need auto parts. They offer an honest product, guaranteed, and they are helpful, they assist you, and advise you. Heck they even do the work for you on some items.

In conclusion:
Be your prospect, get into their heads and imagine what they want. What would you want? This is probably what they would want too.

Don't fall into fear, and the answer lies within you!

Hello all, and thanks for coming by again.

I have spent the last few days listening, reading, posting, replying, and just hanging out and networking. It has been a great experience.
The things I learned over the past few days have been revolutional, inspirational, and just uplifting.

First thing I want to touch on is the Fear marketing concept that has been instilled in us since a young age. All the companies out there want you to think that you have a limited time to act or you will miss your opportunity. This applies online, ever noticed how most "GET RICH" programs have a limited amount of spots, or a certain amount of time to act? This is the fear method, if you don't act now your going to miss out.

This has been used since I was a kid, into my adulthood, and into the internet. This created what I like to call a "Self gratification" mentiality. Pay attention to people in a drive thru, they become impatient if their order is not filled in a certain amount of time. Whats 5 minutes to eat? Whats 30 seconds not too pass someone on the road to get to your destination a few seconds faster?

ARE WE REALLY IN THAT BIG OF A HURRY?

I personally can wait for success, prosperity, and will not fall to fear to make myself feel better for a split second. Instant graitification comes with sacrifice. So does great success, it comes with sacrifice as well. The difference is, in your instant gratification your sacrificing quality, money, and effort. With success, you sacrifice nothing more than your time, effort, and you gain so much more than you give.

You will gain pride in knowing that you are going to accomplish the goals you set out to conquer.

I invite you all to participate in some LIVE CALLS with Diane Hochman and friends.
