Marketing With Sara

Hello Sara,

Yes, it can be tempting to buy more an more, especially if you’re a person who likes learning and reading a lot.

There’s a very fine balance to this, though, and quite simply, I think that you should choose one business model, and then, if you do buy stuff, only buy products that will help you with that business model.

So, yes, pick a business model and stick with it, but instead of avoiding other IM products altogether, simply avoid other business models, except for when you can learn something that applies to your chosen path.

Dear Sara,

You are a true teacher! I would like to model you when I get to complete your course. Though my progress is slow, your consistent encouraging messages keep us going!

Hello Sara.

Thank you for the very good advice, so easy to get sidetracked and lose the plot completely.

Sara,

I think this is an excellent post. I have been ‘monitoring’ internet marketing opportunities for some time I have only recently started to get serious about it.

With so many ‘experts’ and ‘special time sensitive’ offers out there the temptation to reach for your credit card is incredible.

As you say, “You will always be able to get it or something similar at a later time.” The trick is to stay focused on your plan and don’t spend unless you are absolutely satisfied that the purchase will be of benefit to you now!

Sara, your advice is dead on from my experience. The IM Universe is huge with many ways to approach it and make money. I know first hand that all of what you point out is True.

I have been studying IM for a year now and have yet to make my first cent – not because of trying a bunch of different things and failing – but because there is a ton of stuff to learn IF you don’t take the mentoring route, which I didn’t.

All of the fields of approach that you mention are exactly the ones that I have identified as the main avenues at this time. But it does take time to understand each one and all of the “moving parts” within each one – especially if you are like me and not a particularly speedy student and tend towards “over-thinking” too much.

The thing is, if you don’t just go the Mentoring route and pay the price for a “trusted” Mentor, you almost have to go the slow boat way and delve into each of the main IM approaches before you can feel which one fits you best at any particular time. This can be done, as Sara pointed out, with very little outlay of money, but the trade off is your time to learn and your personal learning curve.

I don’t recommend spending lots of time and/or money on a system that doesn’t appeal to your personality and approach to life, but how are you going to know unless you invest enough study?

That’s what I have done.I have now narrowed down the 3 or 4 approaches I like and the one that really appeals to me right now at this moment(Sara’s approach)and because of my year long training, I know how to do what ever approach I decide on next – because we all eventually need a few approaches that we do well in order to succeed on a consistent basis.

It’s important that one not feel stupid or incapable or ashamed if their training curve isn’t as fast as they might like. I wish my study hadn’t take as long as it has, but it takes as long as it takes to do it right and we all have our own paths to learning.

As an example, Sara’s course – as simple in concept and approach as it is for me who has been learning this stuff for a year, it nevertheless has a lot of moving parts that you have to understand the purpose behind and technical pieces you have to be competent with in order to be successful.

Believe me, we are all fortunate to know Sara who is so committed to the success of her students!

Best to everybody

Thanks for this post, Sara. Very sound advice to only buy products that will enhance what you’re doing right now! List-building courses, copy-writing courses and Google loophole software will be there when you’re ready. Buying everything now leads to distraction and overwhelm — all while that guarantee/return window ticks away.

I’m always looking for ways to earn extra cash, and I recently signed up for your free information and it’s been really helpful. I just started doing some very basic article marketing and hope to see some results soon. Thank you for making a lot of your information free for those of us that just can’t spend a lot of money!

Wise advice as always!
If there’s one immutable law in internet marketing it is this: Sales letters are sales letters. They are designed to hook you in on a supposed outcome of ultimate success, fulfillment and riches to such a degree that the methods, or content, of the product are hardly even mentioned.

You’re duped into thinking that, this time (surely) you’ve found the key to endless wealth (for a tiny sum) and all you have to do is simple, easy, or ‘turnkey’. Most of the time you can’t even tell what the business model is exactly, from the sales page.

The promises of tens of thousands a month from the “instant” or “one-click” systems will keep most people away from actually settling down and working (ahh, that dirty word) for their first humble affiliate paycheck. But this is exactly where the ‘gurus’ and deceit-peddlers had to begin.

So thanks again, Sara, for a concise and methodical system, without smoke and mirrors in the sales copy.

Hi Sara,

This is a great post and it helps in clearing the clutter in the mind.

One should not go on buying products if it is not going to be used / implemented right away. Buying for future use is futile because everything is evolving so the product may become outdated by the time you are ready to use it.

Well done Sara, keep posting such articles.

Hi Sara

A very good and wise post from you.

I can relate to all the people who answered as I came to the same conclusion after getting thoroughly overwhelmed with too much information and had just stuck to one mentor, that is until I was introduced to you recently and you won my attention because you have a brilliant system, easy to understand and you include all the steps. You are to the point, don’t muck around and know what you are talking about.

Your keyword research method is amazing.

I am now just following your course and doing each step along the way as I can see after looking through your course that you have our interests at heart, and because of that you are an extremely valuable (and rare) asset to me.

I know I will succeed with your guidance, I have not felt that about other teachers I have had in the past.

I am very grateful to you Sara.

Kindest regards,
Elly

Hi Sara:

Thank you so much for the post. I thank you very very very much for your patience and the patience of your staff at the help desk.

It is so easy to buy all kinds of things and become overwhelmed. I have spent much time overwhelmed.

I have also worked very hard making every conceivable mistake one can make. I don’t think I have missed a one. And I have to conclude that I keep finding more. I keep trying. and trying.

I really will make it.

Thank you for your patience.

an income will most likely be a tricky job to figure out. It takes hundreds of hours of research and failing to find what will work for you. You will most likely waste a lot of time and money before you are successful. Simply accept this as a part of experimenting and never give up!

Hi Sarah

I thank God I found you; your suggestions are great. I agree with Michael Suggs and the others here 100%. I have been trying to make money online for about 2 years, but not one red cent. The reason information overload, unclear directions, jumping from offer to offers and nothing.

However, now that found Easy Pay Check Formula I see things with more clarity and I know that soon I will be making money online. I recently joined the Steroids program and I am beginning to educate myself using your videos and now with Market Samurai I got on a link from Sarah.

I would like to propose something to Sarah and all of us… would it be possible for those of us on Steroid program to kind of form a STEROID COMMUNITY to help each other when needed? the idea would be able to PM each other on things related to Steroid. P

erhaps we could even Skype and help each other whenever there was a question… I do not know, but is just a though. There may be something not too difficult that someone may not understand, but another person may be able to help and thus free up time from Sarah heavy load.

Just a thought… have a great time.

Arnold

Sorry my comment was published twice… the page was too slow and I had to click again… it published twice.

Sara,

You are truly a genuine teacher. You showed the way. You suggest other products that may enhance our skill though it is not belong to you. The best part is you remind us to stay focus an give some thought on motivation to keep us going. I just want to tell you one thing, by just simply referring to your free videos I managed to get few sales. Though it is not my first commission however your method really push me to write unique articles and really surprise me when my article finally got approved on EZA.

Thanks Sara.

Hi Sara,

Thanks a lot for a great post!

Very insightful in a lot of ways. Sometimes we need to have the right judgement and commitment to what we are doing in order to determine what’s best for us, and not just go along with the crowd trying out every new thing that comes out.

Cheers,
Allen
