"Why is it that some are heaving with people while other restaurants are virtually empty? They all appear to look very similar," asked my wife.
Now there's a good question. Was it the food, the ambiance, the layout?
To relate this to blogging: why are some blogs heaving with visitors and others, that look fairly similar, aren't?
Partly its because people go where other people go. They shop where other people shop, they eat where other people eat, they read blog posts that other people read.
It's all about reputation and, to a degree, word of mouth and recommendation.
Unfortunately building a good reputation rarely happens overnight. It is possible to make things happen quickly, but this is in exceptional circumstances or with the aid of some first class marketing. But even these exceptions still have to build their reputation for repeat and long term business. It's no good being a flash in the pan - I do love a good cliche!
In business it's necessary to guard our reputation and build it up with honesty, fairness and as high a standard as we can possibly achieve.
We have to build our blogs and our reputations on firm foundations. Keep plodding on doing what's right and with time who knows where we may end up - providing we know where it is that we actually want to go.
So endeth todays lesson!
Now this Wealth Toolbox (again). Jason Steele, the founder, has set up a separate domain Forex Power Strategy to market his course and is offering commission of $90 for each $198 sale This was originally to be sold at $495.
Regular readers will know my opinion of the Wealth Toolbox - don't touch it with a bargepole!
Now here's something interesting. Jason Steele says he surveyed 6064 people i.e. members who had signed up with Wealth Toolbox. This means he is 'giving away' $303,200 ($50 to each member). But there's more!
As you know I joined, out of interest, and my $50 is now 'worth' $306.47. So if my account is average Mr.Steele will have to payout 6064 members @ $306.47 which totals ... $1,858,434.
Come on now - who in their right mind would give away nearly $2 million dollars? If he has that sort of money why bother messing about with an affiliate scheme? Answers on a postcard ...
Good luck,
Mike.
