Its time for us little guys to get organised and reverse the trend and the flow of money and ideas. August 13, 2009
Posted by Robert Puddy in : My Itinerary, Business , trackbackThe time has come when we need to band together and beat the Guru’s at their own game. I’m tired of sending my money to the same people all the time
Are you?
Its time for us little guys to get organised and reverse the trend and the flow of money and ideas.
Its time to get organised.

The reason the Guru’s are so high profile and super successful in internet marketing is because they are much better organised. They regularly meet up at offline seminars, workshops and master mind groups.
They work together as a team, combine resources use each others strengths and leverage in the market place.
In a recent workshop I did in Cambridge, with a room of just 20 people there were two graphics/web designers a programmer and two professional copy writers.
Right there in that room was a complete business solution, and your mission impossible team that could sweep away the frustration and tears from struggling through this on your own.
And in Baltimore there will be over 180 people any one of whom could be the partner you have been crying out for.
Making money online is a team sport, register here and become part of a team

Lets build a team together

PS: 3 days of face to face instruction can cut through 4 years of trying to get it. I do know that if we tried to explain it in an email or in a video the personal examples we can give in a workshop like this would be lost.

This 3 Day Event Is based in the USA when are you having one in the U.K. and how much would it cost.
You failed to mention that there is the lack of access to the money that the ‘Gurus” have. Many people that are working online are working on a shoestring budget and don’t have the funds to hobnob at seminars and workshops.
Many of the emails that I get are from people with small, unresponsive list, so they work harder at building the list, creating products, etc. as they don’t have the funds to outsource like the successful ‘Gurus’.
Being organized is one thing, but have the funds to fly to a workshop and pay for hotel rooms, meals, rent-a-cars, etc. is beyond the means of many online marketers.
Thanks for the info - being in South Africa we don’t get much access to all these good seminars and workshops.

we just had the UK workshop in may, the next UK event is may 2010, and i will update everyone early in 2010…
To whomever put in the comment about gurus and funds… sorry you didnt leave your name…
I didnt fail to mention it, because its not relevant, see it works the other way around most of the successfull people found the funds to go to events first, and use the contacts made at those events to leverage their consequnt successs.
Mike Filsaime for instance maxed out 3 credit cards going to events to build his business and make the contacts needed to get butterfly marketing off the ground.
It took him 2 years of doing that to make the jump from newbie to superstar.
I also saw the same jump doing it this way, in fact the biggest reason for me doing events is to raise my profile in this business.
Going to events isnt something you do after your successful. its what you do to become successful
I’m all for this idea
Wow! Well said, I’d be happy though to join the workshops we have here in Southeast Asia. This is an eye-opener for someone who is “testing the waters” of IM. Thanks and loking forward to your great post and advice.

P.s. The “funds issue” is REAL, but, I’d be working my butt-out to join the events that will be helpful. I’ve learned early that,”IF you don’t have the resources, then you’ve got to be RESOURCEFUL to get these as well!”
Me Myself invested so much money in different systems with money I thought was going to be a good investment taking food out of my sons mouth just to try and inprove our financial status. I have over 99k worth of e-books for resale, PLR products, and systems and programs you would wouldn’t believe. I had to get my computer upgraded. I see one thing jump to the next due to no one on one help to get started.
I need product rehab or help launching something !!
I’ve found the events I have been to really useful. I’ve made friends as well as contacts, and doing business just shouldn’t be that much fun!
I think the trick is in choosing your events. Who is going to be there, what are you likely to learn and how does that fit into your plan?
One of my favorite events in UK is Martin Avis’ (Kickstart) monthly London lunch. Low key, low cost, meet very interesting people. They don’t have to be huge and megabucks.
I enjoyed Robert’s UK event in May - and have started working with a couple of people i met there.
Hope Baltimore goes well.
Events are a good start for newbies. Selling e-books or other downloadable products is a great business model if you have around 10 downloadable products with upsells doing really nicely. Imagine the effort needed to drive traffic to these!
The real money now is in coaching programs. Speak at an event like the world internet summit, get around 20 people to buy your $4000 product and you’ve made a cool $80,000 in one day (Less the travel, accomodation expenses and production costs). This model too is on its last legs as newbies really don’t take action after they buy the products. Which is sad. Some of them do, but not the MASSIVE action it takes to succeed. The current rage is selling IM coaching programs through webinars.
My challenge to the Guru’s is to work with me or assign someone to work with me to generate some real money on the website I already have. Not just tell me to write articles, post to forums, use social media etc. I know all that. But will you work with me, so we can do one thing at a time or one thing every day, you review what I’ve done, give me feedback, help me with tech glitches, so I can see some great results?
I dont know anything, you are saying because everything look strange to me. Am not used to computer nor to talk of advertizing online. please I would like you to mentor me from nothing. Thanks.
Hi Robert I recently signed up for your squeeze page and didn’t know it! Then I saw your auto responded message welcoming me to my squeeze page then I couldn’t figure out how I had done it without paying. Of course the light came on and I got it. But after getting into it I found myself saying (@#*&@^/#) and Holy Cow, and other more colorful metaphors! The tools and recourses are awesome and your prices are too. I’m still getting over it and down to biz. It’s such a welcomed surprise to find this kind of support in this industry.
I’ve also been trying to find a place to say Thank you.
I guess I have.
Thnx Robert

Events may be fine when they are held in your own country. In southern Africa we are disadvantaged. Travelling abroad just for an event is above the budget of most newbies, especially when we keep being sucked dry by every guru whose program we we join.
You sign up for one thing with full intention to get it going. Next thing you get is a promotional email from the guru you just signed up with telling you how you just must get into the next thing, and the next and the next. It goes on forever, distracting us from working on the first thing. So we end up with all the stuff Andre32 mentions and don’t know if we are coming or going any more.
I fully agree with Farhad Khurshed, we need feedback on our progress from the guru’s we trusted our money with. But since that seems to be wishful thinking, why don’t we, the newbies, join up into a group to help each other? Each one of us has learned something which we can share, even if it’s only giving feedback on each others sites.
Apart from that, I do appreciate AKH and the tools and resources to be found there.
