For those who know me, who have followed my online work, you know I am head strong, stubborn, hard working, consistent, professional, determined, straight to the point, basic, simple, systematic, routine, driven, motivated, positive, helpful, and successful. I pride myself on these things, and more, but especially about being helpful. I really do enjoy helping others.
Today is Saturday, October 30, 2010, there are now more than 98442 Traffic Hoopla members, and yes, we are open, everyday. Thank you! We are glad you are here.
No, I don’t! In this marketing, hoopla filled, online advertising world, here are a few things I don’t do.
No, I don’t chase after the next best thing. Unless proven, from a well established professional, respected, I pass, I wait, I allow the hoopla to settle first before making my decision. No, it is never too late, and if so, Ok, I missed the train, and I am Ok with that.
No, I am not motivated by time limits, such as you only have 24-hours to get-in type of deals. I am disciplined, I know better, bad decisions are always made here.
No, I never put aside paying commissions, answering support email, or any other customer service things. I learned early on, you are most important, you are the best, and when I take care of the customer first, the customers take well care of me.
No, I do not hang out in forums, chat rooms, conference rooms, and similar social media. No, contrary to popular proclamations, they are not the wave of the future for Internet marketing. Do not be deceived. Much of the social media hoopla is simply that, hoopla, a distraction, a waster of time. Stats, results, do not back up what they are telling you.
No, I not typically cancel any resource membership. Most of what I join is for advertising, looking for top ranked advertising resources. I view each as an opportunity to plant seeds, build traffic, make a sale, build an opt-in list, and brand, and this is all good. It may not get my focus today, or tomorrow, but you never know where the next big harvest will come from.
No, I do not sit down when I work online. I am full of energy, excitement, enthusiasm, this is who I am. Personally, I cannot stand the thought of sitting in an office chair for hours, my back hurts, I feel lazy, it is just not me. So years ago I created a station where I stand at the computer, using an old drafting table as a counter top, and I look up at the computer screen about three feet away and about a foot taller than eye sight.
No, I do not hate email, have accepted that they are part of doing business online, and have learned to organize and manage. For me, pop 3 is essential, and creating folders and message rules with something like Outlook, Microsoft Mail, or Mozilla Thunderbird, works great.
So there you go, a few that I don’t. I hope this helps you today. Now go and make the most of your Saturday. Here is your login page
Oh, let’s leave on a yes. Yes, I love baseball, the Texas Rangers, and am still pulling for them to win the World Series.
