A rant on customer service that sucks!
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006One thing that a lot of business lack online is customer service. I have a 0 tolerance policy when it comes to customer service. If I get bad customer service, I go off! It’s just one of my pet peeves. For instance, if I go into a restaurant and it’s a casual restaurant I either tip $10 or nothing. Since it’s usually my husband and I, a $10 tip is good. 
If I get bad service though the person just wont get a tip.
Now online I can’t tip, but I can find something better!
This also just happened to me. I wont name names here, but I was a subscriber to a service that provided a kick butt service that allowed me to easily search ClickBank.com by all kinds of different searche criteria. I could search for the newest products, by the rates of the products, all kinds of awesome things that ClickBank.com its self just doesn’t provide. It also gave me my affiliate links, and other important stats. I paid about $40 bucks every few months for this service. All went well for a while until I had my first problem. I wasn’t able to access the service. After emails back and forth I was basically told it was my problem.
I was ticked because I was led to believe this was the only service around of it’s kind, and now I had not only gotten bad service but was paying for something I couldn’t use.
I went to searching…
After just a few minutes, I found not only an alternative that was better put cost much less! Because of the bad customer service I got the site has lost my business forever, and now I’ll be telling everyone about the better and cheaper service I have found, AND the customer support rocks! I just had to test it before even thinking about giving them my money. I emailed them as if I had already paid to join their site and got an email back within 1 hour!
Totally awesome…
The name of this great service is CB Engine… It’s freakin’ awesome if you promote products via ClickBank.com You can visit the site by going to tomeymarketing.com/is-crazy-about/cb-engine.htm
Do yourself a favor!
ALWAYS provide top notch customer service…
That’s my rant for today…

Whoa.. Two posts in one day…
Sunday, August 13th, 2006Well I don’t post to my blog as much as I should. Well this blog anyway. I have a few others that I post to religiously. That’s probably why I don’t have the time for this one. I’m getting better though…
Anyway, I decided to add a Questions and Answers category here on the blog. I get enough of them, so I guess I should start sharing answers right?
A subscriber to my Marketing For REAL People Newsletter (www.MarketingForREALPeople.com) asked me the following question about a product I have and one I just “unofficially” launched today…
Q: have a question about several of your products that you are selling.
1. The Easy eBook Profit System (www.undergroundmarketingstrategy.com/easy-ebook-profits-system)
2. Resell Rights Machine. www.myoriginaleproducts.com/products/rrm/
What are the differences in the 2 eBooks?
Which would you recommend to get first.
A: Easy Ebook Profits System is a complete strategy. Within it though you can
learn a lot of things (via video) like how to create your product, exactly
what things you should put into it, and the like. I would say if I knew
nothing I would start with it and then go on to the Resale Rights Machine
because you can learn the fundamentals from Easy Ebook Profits System and
then get even more strategies with Resale Rights Machine.
Yes, I know this question is about my products, but this is a good question. This subscriber is wanting to know where to start. He didn’t just buy both of them. This is what it’s about guys… Buying only what you need to make money…
I gotta go now, I’m sure the Internet marketing police will put me under the jail for saying that.

I Spy A Celebrity…
Sunday, August 13th, 2006There was a celebrity on my blog today… None other than Mr. Sherman Hu…. If you don’t know who he is, WHERE have you been???
He was spotted commenting on this post… www.liztomey.com/publishing-videos-on-the-internet/#comments
Sherman is the hottest up and coming SEO/Blog start around. He’s also a REALLY REALLY (did I say REALLY?) nice guy. I’m not one for phone conversations, but when Sherman calls, I could just talk to him all day. He’s got SO much information that blows me away. Most people would consider me a “techy”, but Sherman makes me look like someone who just got their first computer.
If you haven’t been to Sherman’s site, go there now and soak up the info. This isn’t old re-hashed garbage. This is THE future of Internet marketing… tomeymarketing.com/wordpress-tutorials.htm
Thanks for stopping by Sherman!

Wedding Article Directory
Thursday, August 10th, 2006I know that many of you are very into article marketing, so I have decided to start a category here on the blog about article marketing. We will be discussing this quite a bit because it is such a powerful topic, so stay tuned…
To get this started, I’d like to announce the opening of a new article directory I have started for those of you who write articles about weddings. You can see it at www.YourWeddingWebsite.net
I’ve had www.GuruMarketingArticles.com for a few years now. It’s gone through several transformations, but I think now I have it “virtually” perfect. If you write articles related to Internet marketing, feel free to post them there.
That’s all for now…
I’m Not Making Any Money And I Want To Know Why!
Tuesday, August 1st, 2006My friend Jessie McCloud just wrote an interesting article, and I wanted to share it with you today. It’s called…
I’m Not Making Any Money And I Want To Know Why!
Several times a week I get emails from frustrated, stressed out readers who are pounding their head against a wall because no matter what they do, they just can’t seem to make any money. I bet many of you feel the same way. You’ve spent hundreds maybe even thousands on ebooks, software, and courses and you just can’t seem to break through and make money.
For a small majority of you it may be that you just haven’t tried hard enough or put enough time into it. For the big majority of you though it’s because you don’t have a plan.
No, I’m not talking about some elaborate business plan. I’m talking about a simple plan that will help you to get going in whatever it is that you want to do to make money.
When you begin coming up with your plan, the first thing you have to do is decide how you want to make money online. Do you want to provide a service or services? If so, to who and what service? Do you want to create information products? If so, on what topics? Do you want to create content sites and make money from advertisements you place on the sites? If so, what topics will you create these sites one. There’s a million other questions you could ask, but my point is you have to know how you’re going to make money before you can start making it.
Deciding what you want to do to make money should be the first step in your plan. Before you know the answer to this, your not going to make one penny! Simply saying I want to make money online and quit my job is not going to work. You have to know how you’re going to do it.
Once you have decided how you’re going to make money, you can continue on with your plan. Next, you’ll want to start with what you need to do next. I call these action steps.
For instance, if I wanted to create an information product on rose gardens. I’d start by writing down a list of things I would have to do to actually do this. If I came across something on my list that I couldn’t do, I’d seek out the resources and advice I needed so that I could do it.
Don’t let something you don’t know how to do stop you. Search for the answers you need to accomplish what you want to do and let nothing stop you! By doing this, you’ll also save money by only buying products you truly need!
Do yourself a favor today. Grab a pen and a piece of paper. Decide what it is you want to do to start making money. Then write down your action steps, so that you don’t have to be that frustrated person who isn’t making any money online!
