Thanks for all the great comments, it’s actually made me feel better than making a few sales, so it’s time to go shoot a new video about headlines.

Charles I think you hit the nail on the head, and I’m going to make sure that I don’t turn into a “Guru” who treats my list like an ATM.

Thanks for asking this question! You just scored a lot of points with me by doing so.

Recently, I have been starting to wonder about my own vision and strategy. I mean, I am trying to create an online business myself.

In the process of creating a business I am learning that you have to be very careful about who you choose to associate with right down to buying other marketers products and services.

To get more directly to your very timely question. I am finding myself becoming overwhelmed with offers mostly from guru marketers who are promoting the next best thing since sliced bread.

In their minds they feel they have a right to do this because I bought something from them, so, I am on their list. You buy a few things, get on a few lists and suddenly your are receiving anywhere from two – 5 or 6 emails from each of these sources.

It is disturbing to me on from several different points of view:

1. It’s as though I am being
objectified into a credit
card or an bottomless bank
account
2. There is no differentiation
between being a customer and
being a member
3. I end up spending hours on
deciphering this stuff and
it detracts me form my
efforts to stay focused on
my own business.

Of course, I can not lay the responsibility for these three factors on marketers such as yourself. I have to share much of the accountability myself (after all, I am the only person whom I have control over). But, I feel that the so called “guru” marketers get a bit to hyped up on their own press and they go overboard, in my opinion.

Is it greed, is it insecurity? I don’t know. But, I am going to have to exercise more discretion on my side of the equation and I think that the “gurus” need to step back and re-look at their business strategies from a longer-term perspective. Otherwise they may suffer from some negative reactions from this growing resentment of their kind of inconsiderate.

Andrew, I appreciate your asking this question. I have not seen it being asked by anyone else. So, you are way ahead of the curve. I hope that you are you aren’t offended by my feedback. My intention is to give my honest feelings and to add some value to the conversation.

Best regards,
Charles Toney

Take care and

Good Luck what ever You do

Wow. Am I glad you snet this email. I was beginning to ownder just what I was suppposed to be doing!

Putting your ads out there or jooining up to all htese programs you are sending through.

Plus they are coming htrough at around 4 emails each time, thought that might be different ad places, but on checking, no, it comes from same address for al 4.

I too had decided I would now only work with a coupe of people, including yours, but delete all others.

Cleaning out un-used software thats so old its growing mould as well.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up on getting rid of some of the mailings. Well chosen.

Sincerely,
Danella
