One of my favorite sayings in life came from my Dad. He would always say “know the nature of the beast.” Well my beast has a difficult time seeing the art of Internet Marketing. I prefer the black and white of Science. I like things cut and dry. Fact or fiction. None of this East meets West stuff for me (unless it’s food). So let me tell you now, I am working on a project that will cut through the fog and at least minimize some of the junk that’s being given to you for FREE. I’m quickly learning that the cliché, “you get what you pay for” absolutely applies to the Internet.

There are FREE programs out there like the Profit Pulling Platform, by Alex Jeffreys, that will definitely get you started on your way to building a list that every Internet Marketer must have. However, without TRUSTED testimony, you could end up spinning your wheels with a lot of useless FREE hand me downs.  Believe me; I have countless hours invested into junk freebie IM material. It pains me to look back at production over the last 9 or 10 days and see very little progress.

I must admit that some of the free software or E-books went to the circular file very quickly because it just didn’t catch my attention or perhaps it just wasn’t user friendly. Some of the FREE stuff never even got downloaded to my computer because the sales copy looked and read just like everybody else’s. I might suggest that you place strict limits on the amount of time you invest in building your free e-library. I feel compelled to read or at least skim through what it is that I’m about to download. One more suggestion I have is to keep a separate email address just for your free stuff because when you’re done you’ll have a mailbox constantly full of stuff from every marketer you took free stuff from.

And that email just keeps coming in…. Watch out though, you might actually come across someone who really knows their stuff. Oh yea, I’m back at the beginning. How do I know that you know your stuff? What’s GOOD? What’s Bad? And WHY? Arggh!

We’ll talk again,

Well, today is the day of the party. I’m going to meet Alex Jeffreys online tonight for Module 4 and the beginning of the traffic contest.  Ya whooo! I get to play. You see I was having the hardest time trying to figure out how to get my registration form and the Profit Pulling Platform to work. And to be honest, we have a bunch of people in our group that are so smart, they do all the fancy stuff. And before you know it, you can’t figure out what your own stuff is suppose to look like. Let alone, how to get there.

So I have to give a big thanks to my sister, Debi, for helping me get through my homework. She spent quite a bit of time watching videos and figuring out exactly what needed to be done. I really can’t explain why it just kept getting messed up in my brain. But I just couldn’t see how it went together.

The new people know exactly what I’m talking about. Go here. Do this. Do that, but don’t forget we’ll come back to this later and then use this. Well, my “USE THIS” didn’t work for me, so hostgator told me to use Core FTP and it worked like a charm.

Now that’s not to say my PPP is perfect because it’s not. I did something wrong with the confirmation page/opt in. It goes out to the subscriber but doesn’t do it in the timeline it’s suppose to. But that’s OK. I can fix that tomorrow. Because today, I’m going to the party. And I can at least be part of the competition.
