Do You Network?

The power of networking is often underestimated in the Internet Marketing industry. Many of those who DO understand that power take full advantage of it. Some who understand the power of networking don't often take full advantage. Then there are those who simply don't get it.

What is Networking?

In a nutshell, networking involves getting to know people in the business circles that you are a part of or would like to be a part of. It's not really about selling stuff to people, it's about making connections, exchanging ideas, and finding out what others think about things in general and also what they think about particular topics, products or services.

Why Should We Network?

We should network because it's one of the best ways to get informed about things that you may not necessarily see in the mainstream of the business areas that you deal with. It is also simply a great way to meet some cool folks. Networking is a golden opportunity for those new to the industry to learn from those who have been around for a while.

What Are You Wating For?

If you have not been taking advantage of networking, then it's about time you start. Participate in Skype, Facebook, Twitter and many of the other social platforms that are available. Also, don't forget other forums that may be available through various membership sites.

At Mardox Marketing we do a live broadcast every weekday (Monday - Friday) at 3 pm Eastern, 12 pm Pacific and 9 pm (Berlin time) in Germany. If you are already a member all you have to do is log in to Mardox for all the details. If you are not yet a member you can join for free by clicking HERE. Come join us and tell us about what you do online, and/or ask questions about things you would like to know.

Thanks for reading my blah blah blah.

There are many elements to successful marketing, but no matter what we are promoting, how good or bad we are at how we market, Repetition in Advertising is the element that can make or break you.

There is a lot of whining and complaining in the industry about people not looking at our ads. I always find that very interesting. I find it interesting because one of the first things we learn about being in this industry is that our advertising needs to stand out. Our advertising needs to stand out because there are thousands of marketers competing for millions of "eyes" looking at our advertising, hoping that they will want whatever it is we are advertising. In addition to our ads standing out, we need to make sure that our ads are "out there." Being out there means advertising CONSTANTLY and FREQUENTLY - and this in multiple venues.

Have you ever seen an advertisement that you absolutely HATE, but no matter what you do it's hard to get it out of your head? Well, the reason for that is probably because you see it advertised EVERYWHERE and OFTEN in the places we advertise in our industry. It's as if the ad is actually following you around! Repetition in Advertising is what helps you brand yourself in our industry by getting your ads out there in front of folks CONSTANTLY.

Yes, it's important that our ads are designed in a way that gets someone's attention in the few seconds that they will give you because they are very busy looking at other ads and doing other things related to building their business. But even if our ads absolutely SUCK, the more people see them increases the likelihood that your ads will be noticed.

So, in addition to all the other important elements of good advertising, don't forget about Repetition.

Thanks for reading my blah blah blah.

In the Internet Marketing Industry, stress is something that exists in full measure.
There is more than enough stress to go around for everyone!
The problem is, there is way more stress in the industry than there needs to be.

Many steer far and wide of the stress in the industry. At the first hint of it or the first exposure to it, they have nothing to do with it and even cut ties with the one(s) causing the stress.

That in itself is okay, but should it be our "default choice?"

Stress in itself is not necessarily harmful.

The American Psychological Association has noted: “Stress is to the human condition what tension is to the violin string: too little and the music is dull and raspy; too much and the music is shrill or the string snaps. Stress can be the kiss of death or the spice of life. The issue, really, is how to manage it.”

What stresses one person may not stress another, and how we react to stressful situations varies, of course from person to person.
The problem is, if we always decide to "cut off the stress point" at the outset, we may simply be "moving it down the road" for it to rear it's ugly head later - whether we want it to or not.

A time to Confront and a time to Avoid.

There are certainly situations in which we say from the outset - 'I want nothing to do with this,' and simply leave the stressful environment or get away from the one causing the stress. But is that the way we should deal with it every time? I often hear people say "I only want to surround myself with folks who won't stress me out." That's all well and good - and it is OK to avoid stress if possible, but a negative side effect of that is that we could simply be surrounding ourselves with people who "tickle our ears" and say the things that we want to hear.

Sometimes it is wise to address the element that is the point of the stress. Not doing this can cause a very negative ripple effect in our industry.

I have seen it happen time and time again. Someone ticks someone else off, and the ticked off person starts talking about it their network, or circle of friends (with their version of events of course). Then the other party involved gets wind of it somehow and does the same thing. I have seen people that I have known for years in this industry and for whom I have a lot of respect for say and do some very terrible things.

None of this is necessary. There are ways of handling things without resorting to such measures. This sort of thing is poisonous to our industry and to society as a whole.

A bit of Heavenly advice

Here are a few hints from God's Word that can help us deal with these situations. Even if one is not a spiritual person, the principles can still be put into practice. If one is a spiritual person, now would be a good time to make a good self-examination and see where they stand according to God's view of right and wrong.

Here we go:

When someone upsets you, try to stay calm. Do not add fuel to the fire. “A mild answer turns away rage, but a harsh word stirs up anger,” says Proverbs 15:1.

Try to settle differences privately and respectfully, thus dignifying the other person.—Matthew 5:23-25.

Try to gain insight into his or her feelings and viewpoint. Such insight “slows down [our] anger” because it puts us in the other person’s shoes. (Proverbs 19:11) It can also help us to see ourselves through the other person’s eyes.

Try to forgive. Forgiveness is not only beautiful. It is also good medicine. As reported in a 2001 study, “unforgiving thoughts” resulted in “significantly higher” blood pressure and heart rate, whereas a forgiving attitude reduced stress.—Colossians 3:13.

Well worth the effort.

Granted, it is not always possible to even try to take these steps. Or we may try to apply these principles and fail. The point is, we tried.

There is enough crap in our industry that we have to deal with. Let's try to be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem.

You may agree with me, disagree agree, with me, or don't care one way or the other about what I have to say, and that's OK. Just remember that we all have a stake in making our industry a much better place to work in.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this, but if you disagree, please be civil in your comments.

Yours in Success,

This blog post is a bit long, but there is something I need to rant about a bit - lol

In the Internet Marketing Industry, there is often a lack of appreciation for the fact that we ARE IN BUSINESS.
Anyone who runs an off-line business knows that in order for their business to be successful they must invest in it.
Online businesses are no different, but somehow there is a false perception that there IS a difference.
There seems to be a perception by new folks coming into the Internet Marketing Industry that everything can be done either for free or very inexpensively. Nothing can be further from the truth. While starting an online business is much easier in many cases than starting an off-line business, it still takes INVESTMENT of time and MONEY!

Case in point:

Recently the Easy Business Builder marketing system announced that there will be a price increase in February 2018. It is a relatively new marketing system and when it came on the scene it was said that once it was established the price of an upgraded membership will go up. Now that time has come, but somehow there are members who say they are not prepared to pay the price increase. There is the opportunity to be "grandfathered in" at the current subscription price - which is a valuable deal, but come February 2018 the price will go up.

Having the correct perspective

Newcomers to the industry may not have the proper perspective on things when choosing whether or not to invest, or how much to invest in the tools needed to help their BUSINESS become successful. One needs to break down the TRUE VALUE of the tools they use - especially when it comes to a Marketing System such as Easy Business Builder. A Marketing System is not a simple stand-alone tool. It is a compilation of Several marketing tools. EBB is no exception.

EBB offers such tools as:

1. Autoresponder
2. Lead management
3. Email template management
4. Tracking
5. Page creator
6. Mailer Management

These tools when subscribed to separately add up to about $69 a month on the low end. The tools listed above are only SOME of the tools that Easy Business Builder provides. If you were to add up all the services EBB offers it would cost you at least $200 a month on the low end.

Breaking it down

What it comes down to is this, fellow marketers. When we join a particular program we need to learn how to ascertain the VALUE of it. In order to do that properly, we would benefit by looking at things from the program owner's perspective. What do I mean? Well, when we shop at our favorite stores we are not just paying for the base price of that bag of chips, loaf of bread, carton of eggs, etc. We are also paying for what it costs to keep the store open and to pay the employees who work there.

When we pay for certain services such as lessons to learn how to play a musical instrument, tutoring for our kids, learning a foreign language, getting someone to shovel our snow or mow our lawn, car repair, etc., we are not just paying for the basic price of those services. We are also paying for the investment that the providers of those services made (and continue to make in some cases) in learning how to do those things, perfecting their craft, and paying for any equipment or supplies that might be needed. Not to mention the TIME that it takes to be able to build their business in a manner that enables them to offer you VALUE for the money that you pay them.

Now - when it comes to paying for online tools and services such as Marketing Systems, if we only think from a USER'S perspective we only see what kinds of cool things we can do with the service and what it will cost us every month. But what about the TIME and EXPENSE it took to create the Marketing System in the first place? What about how much it would cost to pay for these tools individually from different sources? What about the EXPENSE it takes to pay for hosting, servers, etc.? THAT is what Marketing System OWNERS thinks about when they figure out what to charge for their program.

Getting What We Pay For

If the QUALITY of the service and the SUPPORT that is offered for its members is up to standard - and even beyond our expectations, then we most certainly get what we pay fore. Most times than not, we get even more. But if we think that we can use free or very inexpensive tools and services and get the same level of quality and support, then we are fooling ourselves.

The Bottom line

The bottom line is that we need to be prepared to invest in quality tools and services if we want our BUSINESSES to have long-term success. I fully understand if someone may not have it in their budget at the moment to subscribe to such Marketing Systems as Easy Business Builder. But let's not "shoot the messenger" when we are told that the price is going up. Either we can pay for it or not. It is up to US to set our priorities and make certain sacrifices like not buying that so much of that fast food every month, or buying that computer game, or whatever we sometimes spend our hard earned cash on even when we don't HAVE to. My brother used to tell me and my sisters when we were growing up that we have to learn how to separate our "wants" from our "needs." Is it any different when it comes to investing in our online business?

Thanks again for listening to my blah blah blah.

I would love to hear your comments.
