Comment on How do you fight adversity? by Cheryl Jones

“And don’t give up before exhausting possibilities, as the most difficult times are often experienced just before a breakthrough. Many a successful entrepreneur has reported this.” “It is darkest just before the dawn.” And what choice is there but pressing on? Adapt, yes. Change directions if necessary, yes. But retreat internally, renew, refocus, and press on.

Comment on It’s Easy to Get Video with Video Mastery by Dennis Pippin

Hey Ant,

I have always been reluctant to make videos because the software was so costly and I had no idea how to go about it. Well I got my hands on the platinum package of Web Video Mastery and now I’m confident at making videos and the cool part about it is I get to use nothing but free tools. How cool is that?

Comment on Hype, hype; just bloody well hype. by Anthony

Hi Louise,

Yes in the world of teaching about the internet, IBCX is a refreshing difference. And that’s because of the nature and views of it’s founders, who would rather stick to their principles than make money. They expect to make money later of course, but ‘doing it right’ as they see it, is more important to them at the moment.

There’s others just as ethical,of course. But they aren’t usually the ones doing big splashy launches with gloss n glitter.

No Dee, you’re not.
Hype sells because it works.
And right now, telling people that ‘there’s no hype’ works too.
We wouldn’t see any if it didn’t.

Yes Richard, it’s sadly true.
The hype is there because it works, not because it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’. If sales fell, the text would disappear like snow in the sun.

What I raise my eyebrows at is a marketing piece that claims to have no hype, when it contains little else. That’s insincerity, and I’m never going to recommend insincerity as a marketing tool. I think we should treat our fellows better than that.

Thank you Richard.

Hi Mitch
I believe you’re right that most of the ‘top names’ offer a reasonable deal and are out to build businesses, so want to stay on the white side of the black line. But it’s the incessant “everyone but me only offers hype” and “there’s no hype here” when there clearly is, that only brings in more doubt about other aspects of what’s being offered.

And Alex is not differentiating himself, whatever he ‘says’. His books and sales letters contain hyped up messages the same as many others. Frankly, some people seem to want it.

But I don’t think good products need hype to sell them. Good information has to be available so people understand what’s being sold, but hyperbole isn’t helpful.

Comment on Why is Achieving Success such a Mystery? by Anthony

Anthony — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:32:15 +0000

Hi Cheryl
Customers DO respond, as you rightly observe, when it’s about them, and not about the money.
I just reviewed a book over at http://thewriteinsight.com/blog about Burg and Mann’s new creation: It’s Not About You. About focusing on others. We can’t be reminded of this too often.
