Internet Marketing Industry Lives In Their Own World

So Called Internet Marketing Gurus

When you listen to internet marketing gurus, you need to consider one thing. A lot of them live in their own world. For example, they will talk about joint ventures and how well they work. However, most website owners have no clue what a joint venture is. Most e-commerce owners are self business do it yourself people. Small business owners don't think about partnering nearly as much as "I am the best at everything". However, internet marketers know what a joint venture is so it works for them. So consider your market before you start applying new knowledge. Consider whether it applies. For example, I tried setting up joint ventures with wedding e-commerce sites. However, the big guys were outside my league. And the small sites didn't even have a list. So I had to start working on a new solution that wasn't taught by anyone. I had to start offering the list services to the wedding e-commerce sites. I am not putting down internet marketers. They offer a lot of great ideas. I am just saying you have to be smarter. You have to be the smartest guru in your market. You have to find things that are unique and only you know work. Then you can be a leader.

When you seek out an internet marketing guru, look to see what sites they have built. You don't want to follow someone who just write books. I like Brad Fallon's teachings because he actually owns a website in the same marketing as one of mine. And I know his teachings work because I have applied them.
