First I agree with you that there are probably marketers that lie and tell stories that are untrue and simply misleading.

When that is said I think you’re being to judgemental and that you’re probably keeping yourself from achieving what you want. I am 99% convinced that some of these stories are true and if you read some of the stories you will also find that nobody says that it is easy or that you don’t have to work for it.

I think the real problem is in that because the “work part” is toned down in the sales letter then people instantly assume that no (or little) work is involved. So it is their own assumption that creates the “lie” and not the actual seller.

On top of that I believe (which has also been my own problem and to some degree still is my problem) that the real issue hear is not that what is being taught in ebooks and videos is wrong or doesn’t work but merely that people do not follow the plan and work hard at it. They simply give up before they have spent the time required to learn what they need to learn.

…which is actually the original theme of this blog. You will get the success you deserve if you do the work UNTIL… never ever quit

P.S. Yes there are scammers online and yes many marketers are lying but some are telling the truth. We just need to find those marketers and listen to them!

I think that the stories almost always are so unbelievable that it makes me laugh.. Typically the same story about no work/little effort, no particular internet/computer knowledge and incredible incomes.. And typically marketed by the same ugly website with untrue testimonials, “guarantees”, one-in-a-lifetime-incredibly-offer and all that bullocks. I really hate this kind of marketing(!) witch to me is borderline scam tactics. I know that we cannot get rid of it because it works – apparently this it what the general (naive?) user wants – some crazy dream they can fantasize about becoming part of..

The only reason that I’m still looking into programs, software and so on that are marketed like that is when they are recommended by someone not directly associated with the site who is believable and credible, like e.g. yourself!
I then hope sometime to stumble upon some system that actually works IN SPITE of the scam marketing – not “work AS marketed”..

In other words: I believe it is all lies! I don’t even hope that some system/software/e-book will be able to get me the kind of income that are advertised, but are thinking “if this were to bring me an income 1/10 or 1/20 of what the creative writers and photoshoppers have come up with for the marketing that would actually be great”..

But of course, I won’t stop selling it, and it still sells okay.. I have some ideas in work, so just hold on for some weeks / month, and it will sky-rocket again !

But who says that you can only sell to new web shops? There are thousands of poor and underperforming web shops online and most of them could use your book to improve. That market would easily let you hit 200 a year.

I never really done the big market research for the book, the idea just came and then I started to write back last summer.. So I don’t know if the market is a bit smaller.. I think that 200+ is a big amount of new webshops.. but of course, if I tried making it a book for the universities, then perhaps it would sell a lot more..

Could I hire someone to try that ? Anybody know anybody that has those connections ?

I know that it faded out but didn’t your efforts fade out as well? I can only guess but I think you could have sold that amount of books for a long time if you had kept working at it. Maybe you could even have created a system that would have others working for you so you would have more time to do other stuff.

February was above $1.000, yes . Does that make me a legend online marketeer ?

Only you know the hours spent and the actual figures but as I recall you made what equals $1,000 in your third month!

Just my humble opinion and conspiracy theories…
