The blog education has continued today. You know those hidden camera shows - Candid Camera was probably the original scenario that has been copied ad nausea. Anyway, I'm sure you must have seen some local variation, they were what TV did for cheap programmes before they discovered Big Brother, Jungles or Dancing. You know that look of, well, embarrassment, shame, humiliation, recognition and resignation? Where the 'mark' is shown how they've been conned and it dawns on them what a fool they've been.
May I present, for your amusement and entertainment... NoozHound - MUG.
As mentioned I have signed up for blogging tutorials. I'm up to part three or so. These guys must be having a field day. Using one of the techniques from their top secret, never before revealed methods, the terms 'work from home', 'internet business' 'work at home' and the like are in the millions of searches per month. No doubt if you keep watching the mandatory 'free video tutorial' and then purchase the intensive course at the end, you will direct all of that traffic to your blog where you can sell your e-book.
If my intuition is working right, the trick is to get someone else to write the e-book for you for free. Set up some auto-responders that mail out the taster course after the mug has been snared at the sign-up, then lead them by the nose to conversion. Access to all of this for just ONE DOLLAR!
Even poor Joe Schmo, down on his luck, can afford one lousy dollar - and he can earn between $500 and $1500 a month for this tiny outlay.
Of course the first plans I download are free, filled with instructions to buy books and visit this and that link. Surrounded by instruction about affiliate marketing and reciprocal linking with like-minded bloggers.
Dutifully I have been signing up to forums, searching out my niches (I do find it constantly amusing that someone marketing a concept of niche marketing is unable to pronounce the word) planning my pillars.
That was about the point that I started to feel dirty. Dumb and dirty.
I had become the very commodity I was having described to me. I was moving toward the point where I would sign up and pay my dollar - it's only a dollar - to gain access to all of this wisdom.
Self-populating, high-volume sticky traffic queueing up for membership. I feel so fucking stupid.
If you read my Twitter line it says 'Internet marketers need not apply'. I am fast becoming that which I loathe. I should be promoting this very same blog through my twitter stream.
People desperate to get out from under will be following these courses, eager to make $1,000 per week on each blog! Details of my e-book will be available soon.
Welcome to the disappointment.

We can't both be right, it's probably me.
