This is by far my favorite thread on the forum! I haven't been around for a few days so I don't know what's up with the Lightning Round thing, but I hope you do more, I have some questions ;o
 


This would make a GREAT blog post.

Laura

Someone actually pointed that out on the blog post I made yesterday with the reference examples of Darren Rowse, Shoemoney, John Chow, and Lee Dodd. I only poked fun at Lee, I actually respect the other guys in spite of what it may sound like or how it may have come off as. Whatever. I'm just upfront about what I think and how I view things.

Selling HOPE is what those guys do to gain massive audiences where the large majority of them are fucking stupid people.

The smart ones are here!
 
Thanks Jon, I appreciate your tips and advice. Time to take action, after a little bit more research.
 
Yeah, they are kinda draining to do them, especially since it takes me like a fuckin hour to catch up and answer them even after the damn thing is over. But I try to pack in as much info as possible to give an accurate answer..

It also causes me to have a Cocaine energy drink (which tastes like the shitty cough syrup we used to have as a kid, and has the worst after taste and spicy/numbing aftertaste and after effect), but has the most concentrated caffiene/B12 than anything I've ever had before, so it gives me the boost I need.. and yeah, look at these long answers, gets me super focused and makes me give huge, in-depth answers.. hahahaha
 
The question is far too general.

Jon, thanks for taking a stab at my question.

When I read your answer, I realized the question was way too generic. It was close to the end and I was trying to get in under the wire.

I've never been good at asking questions. I knew what I wanted to know but didn't do a good job of getting the point across. Sorry about that, my bad!

Actually, I was curious what advice you might give to some of the people who ask what seem like lame questions after having been raped by the "guru whores" with their e-books and such. They get the impression that making a living online is easy and cheap. I was looking for your counter-point to that. I know what your opinion of the self-proclaimed gurus is, I was just wondering... if you had the opportunity to tell people the truth, what you might say.

I got a real good answer to that part of the question. Nothing further expected.

When I asked about the time involved and the budget to expect, that was directed at your real-life experience in the PPC arena. I know it's probably impossible to nail it down but I think a lot of people need to realize the importance of the term, "you have to spend money to make money."

So many people believe they can throw $25 or $50 bucks into an account at G, Y or MSN, throw out some keywords, never do any testing or adjusting and be in profit before their account runs out. Then, when they're out of money and they haven't broke even, they say, "This doesn't work!" and just quit, never to try again.

I thought maybe I'd get a general estimate of what you'd expect to spend and how long you'd expect it to take, if you were starting from scratch. I wondered what you might tell someone to expect when just getting started with affiliate marketing and driving traffic with PPC.

I appreciate the answer you gave. There was plenty of valuable info there.

Next time, I'll try to do a better job of asking. I'll tell my friends, if they have big moles on their cocks, they should come to you for advice. :eek:

Thanks again.
 
Gumby,

If nothing else, I think this is a great question. Possibly the best question of the entire thread.

It cuts right at the heart of the issue of the mindset of a new marketeer and what mindset they MUST DEVELOP in order to be successful in this industry. I was reading another forum and a poster said it best when he told a newbie that he(the noob) would not be successful until he gained some of the neccessary traits of a business owner as opposed to someone attempting to take part in a "get rich quick" thinggy.
