What in the world is Mr. Morin talking about?
Friday, June 9th, 2006Well, I probably should just turn my head and keep my mouth shut, but I never do that, so why start now, right?
Today while looking at Internet Marketing News Watch (www.imnewswatch.com) a title to a blog post caught my eye. The title was “Is the art of product development gone? ” and it was from Armand Morin’s blog. I read it, and was left just shaking my head…
First off, Armand does good interviews and has a wealth of knowledge. i will give him that. His products on the other hand (from the ones that I have bought) have not been exactly the best thing around. So when I saw the title I just had to know what he had to say…
You can read his post by going to www.armandmorin.com/2006/06/where-has-the-art-of-product-development-gone/
All I can say is… ARE YOU FREAKIN’ KIDDING ME?????
My definition of a good product:
Is one that you can learn from and/or make money from.
Does it matter where it comes from? NOPE!
Does it matter how it’s marketed? NOPE!
Resale rights products have made a lot of people a lot of money, and that’s a fact. I’m one of those people. What Armand is not pointing out is that it takes skill to market any product in any way. If you can make money off of resale rights products… GO FOR IT!
If you can make money off of a stand alone product… GO FOR IT!
If you can learn or make money off of a “fad” product… GO FOR IT! Speaking of “fad” products, who was it that created “Directory Generator”? HHmmm….
Evidently Armand doesn’t understand future customers and back end products. If you go right now and buy a package of resale rights, and then sign up for the affiliate program to sell that same package, there’s no harm. If you’re doing it right, in a month or so, you’ll have new customers that you can sell those products to. And how about using them as back end products? If you have an affiliate program, you’re getting customers from other people. You can sell those products to those new customers on the back end.
The very things Armand is saying are the wrong way to do things are the very things that are making people money. Especially for those of you without big names. It’s easy to say what he said when you’re Armand Morin, but if you’re not, you can still do your own thing, not have to become some “big name guru”,and still make money.
I wonder if the next thing he will be asking will be “Is the art of Internet marketing is gone?”, and then talking about how trying to sell your latest CD on Amazon by offering a bunch of bonuses to those who buy it, but don’t want it the actual CD, but the bonuses isn’t the right way to make money. 
Speaking of that, what was the name of the marketer who just did that? Hhmmmm….
Just remember what I keep teaching…
If it works.. Do it! Don’t let me or anyone else tell you it wont work. Find out for yourself!
That’s just my two cents…

Where I am and where I’m going…
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006Hey all!
Well, I’ve again had a very busy few months. So busy that I haven’t been able to keep up with any of my blogs. I haven’t been able to update my www.RealProductReviews.com or www.ResaleRightReviews.com blogs in over a month. I just got done updating www.RealProductReviews.com and will be adding a review to www.ResaleRightReviews.com in about an hour. I always announce to my list when I have updated these two blogs, so if you haven’t joined my www.MarketingForREALPeople.com newsletter head over there now to get on the list.
On Thursday of last week, I re-opened my www.GivingItAll.com coaching program. I was only going to sell 30 spots, but accidentally over sold. I sold 37 spots in just a little over 9 hours. People love my coaching programs, and they always go fast. So, if you want to be alerted to the next time I open the program, head on over to www.GivingItAll.com
This month I’m going to be focusing on finishing unfinished projects. I’ve got a to-do list with over 30 things on it. Some of them are big and some of them are small, so if I can just get one done a day, I should be totally caught up by the end of this month.
www.ViralEbookAds.com should be open again by the end of this month also. I’m adding and taking away many things to make this site bigger and better, so keep your eyes open for the re-launch of this site. Hint* One time lifetime membership fee and you get 2-3 master resale rights products each month, plus A LOT more.
I’ll also be re-doing www.BigResaleRights.com The membership script that I am currently using just isn’t cutting it, so I will be installing a new script and adding many more products. Readers of my blog and newsletter will get a free membership. You also get full master resale rights to sell memberships to the site and keep all the money. How cool is that?
So, that’s where I’ve been and where I’m going…
Liz
