Keeping a clear head in the chaos

So, you’ve just bought a new ebook or system and you are just getting started using it, and promoting it, when you get an email telling you about the next hot product … and in that email the promoter tells you how great it is, and how well you can build your list or make sales or whatever if you own this great product.

So you buy it.  You even take the expensive upgrade.  And then you find that it doesn’t actually give you anything very different from what you had before.  And you are not even all that sure how to use it… and you feel let down and confused and not very smart.

Has this happened to you?

What can you do to keep your focus and build your confidence in this dynamic, constantly changing traffic exchange marketing world?

Here are some suggestions:

1. Trust yourself. Making people feel that they are not good enough, don’t have enough, is part of the advertising game. Advertisers get you doubting yourself, and then they offer you a solution – their marvelous product.  You get it in exchange for giving away a part of your trust in yourself.  Don’t fall for it.

2. Buy on your own terms. Do you have a use for it?  Can you afford it?  Does it work for your personal style?  Do you think it would be easy to sell to your target market? If so then buy it, but if not then go back to point #1.

3. Relax. Over time you will realize that your favorite promoters will be equally excited over some other product next week, and yet another one the week after. They get exposed to a lot of great products but only you can decide which ones are a good fit for you.

4. Notice how you feel. If a product looks good on the surface but you get a bad feeling in your stomach when you look at it, then pass.  On the other hand if you feel excited about the possibilities then check it out, you may discover something that works great for you.

If you can stay centred you will have a lot of fun on the traffic exchanges.  If not you will end up lost and confused.  It is up to you (and it’s not easy).

Even Free Members Get to Rebrand This Excellent Program!

I’ve just joined John Guanzon’s new program, TE Reports (as a free member) and guess what?

I was able to rebrand the downline builder with my links!

How cool is that?

So now I’ve got a way to promote a dozen of the best ebooks around with one simple link, and a free squeeze page if I want to build my list with this system.

And if I had chosen to upgrade, I would have had a very professional looking set of squeeze pages and matching email series to promote any of the books individually.

But I can always buy them one by one in the members area when I am ready, they will just cost a bit more.

How does this help you?

Ebooks can make you money, even if you haven’t been able to rebrand very many of them yet.

Anything which helps you to promote them virally is a good thing.

And if you can join for free, why not?

So check it out if you like, here’s the link:

Now  you don’t have to get complicated with this, even if all you do is sign up, fill in the downline builder and add a note to your email series, that should bring you a benefit over time.
