Repetition makes us faster and smarter

Image

Congrats to my little girl’s first year of soccer! Her last game today
was awesome. She charged the ball with determination and confidence.
Regular coaching and practice makes a lot of difference in everything
we do: in sports, writing or public speaking. You can learn a lot by
watching kids tackle and figure out obstacles on their own. It is
amazing how they overcome shyness and timidness. You can definitely
see the improvements on these young stars from week to week. It’s too
bad that it had to end so soon when they are so getting better at
running after the ball. Oh well, it’s almost time to head back to
school! How’s your summer?

Forum Marketing and Group Marketing Dilemma

1077154_35162937.jpg
I recently joined a forum and suggested a link there. I wasn’t trying to spam or anything, and made sure to use my real identity to avoid misleading anybody. Consequently, the admin deleted my post and banned my account for “advertising”. A failed attempt I admit and justly acted on, in my humble opinion. I would have done the same thing.

As an internet marketer, I find these perplexing: 
  1. You can’t pitch to your own forums/groups, for a client, because they are the wrong target market. i.e. Pitching “indian food cookbook” to your fellow marketers.
  2. You can’t tell your clients to pitch to their forums/groups because they are the wrong target market. i.e. Pitching “indian food cookbook” to their peers/competitors doing the same thing they are doing.
  3. You can’t join a new forum or group that is not related to your field or interest. That would be just an obvious ploy to sell them something. I’ve seen many of you internet marketers claim to and seen do this. 
  4. You can’t wait to build a “relationship” with them and maybe cunningly “drop” a mention of your pitch in the conversation. Nice try, marketer! Plus, your client wants results some time this year. ;)
  5. You can try paid advertising to bring new traffic in, but we all know that “when you stop paying, the ads stop showing.”
  6. SEO, article marketing and directory submissions takes a long time and often a hit/miss situation. 
So what do you do? Do you rely on paid ads to quickly bring in new targeted traffic and/or do you take the long road of building lists and have your clients start blogging to grow their “tribe” for them to make their offer to? Noticed how I didn’t say “sell to”. ;) 
I’m convinced that the only effective method is creating “trust” and “brand loyalty”. Everything else is just noise. Thoughts?

“I have created a bundle of weight loss hypnosis and subliminal recordings specifically targeting weight loss.  Listening to these recordings easily and effortlessly changes and realigns your conscious and subconscious mind for positive and permanent weight loss.  Everything that you are doing like exercising and eating more nutritiously with smaller portions, will become a reinforcement of your newer and healthier belief system.”

A Canada without YouTube? via @MacleansMag

For one thing, given that Canadians are among the world’s biggest users of YouTube, we might not have to worry about usage-based billing anymore since our internet traffic would plunge off a cliff. The country would go back to the good old days that big Internet providers seem to love so much, where all people did on the internet was send email.

More realistically, though, usage of BitTorrent file-sharing and virtual private networks would skyrocket, making Canada a veritable piracy wonderland.

One step forward. Two giant leaps back.
