Qick update from the past two weeks
Oct 15th
Well, a lot has happened to me in the past few weeks – good things, bad things, but i guess this is how life goes.
Right now i am at my university, that’s right student again, and am enjoying my morning coffee. This time last year i guess i was sitting at my ex-company’s office, getting bored and dull while doing some really boring work. But earlier this year when i quited this company i finally had the time for myself and my own work and business plans, so i partnered with two other professionals and now we run a company of our own. Things are going really well for us and since i am now having a lot free time i decided to go to university again : ) and have a taste of student life again. I really love learning and meeting new people, so i am very happy now. Right now i would have been even happier if my dog had not passed away last week, but alas…
I am an internet entrepreneur and i am not definitely not in the Bahamas, nor i drive a Ferrari!
I am writing you this, because the truth about internet business is that it wont fly you to the Bahamas and wont buy you a Ferrari quickly. The clickbank and similar products tell you the opposite, but it wont happen. Be aware of that. Getting such ideas from sales text only inspires you to buy and eventually discourages you once you come to realise that what the sales copy promised is not going to happen to you.
The truth is that you need to work hard, get things going, then work even harder to keep them going, and even harder to scale them. Be persistent!
Here is something useful you can think about – if you want to get into internet marketing, no matter in what niche, make your competitors irrelevant! Do not compete! How do you do that? What do you offer? It is up to you, but make it something different and useful to people for a change!
Any ideas? : )
Let’s say NO! to “bribing” marketing!
Aug 3rd
Now we live the era of new media marketing – “360 communication”, “social media marketing”, “cross media marketing”, in terms of Internet advertising, have become the keywords to successful marketing today.
Brands are communicating with consumers directly and are beginning to pay attention to consumers’ thoughts and experience. Nowadays brands market with their consumers, rather than TO their consumers.
We, the humble people to whom their Internet connection is an essential part of our lives, now have a voice and are heard! We are the Influencers!
…And I really hate marketers to bribe me! I really hate being said to something like – “Buy a pack of three toothpastes, and get a toothbrush and a pack of toilet paper, for free”.
I also hate “Take this survey and win a free iPhone”!
I hate Call-to-Action marketing, and marketers who still use it are losers!

What is this blog about, after all?
Jul 22nd
If you are reading this, there is a high possibility that you came here while looking for – a way to make money online, free digital product downloads, tips or internet marketing and advertising or something similar to that.
No matter the reason, you should know that in order to “make it” (whatever that “it” is) you either should be/become a good marketer or hire one to develop a marketing strategy or plan for you and your business goals.
Being or becoming a good marketer is impossible to happen fast. There is no quick scheme to learn that and anybody who says or sells you an opposite idea, is wrong.
I write about social media, because I want to give you an insight on cost-effective solutions that work. And am exposing stupid digital products in order to convince you that these can not be a solution. So in general I tell you what can be working for you and what can not be working for you. I am saying this, because most of you are rather attracted to the “EXPOSED” posts. Don’t be – there is no point in using them. I expose these products, because only by trying them yourself you’d realize that they are not worth it.
So, if you want to succeed, I really hope that you give social media and marketing a chance. Even John Chow said (in the video from the latter post) that he managed to succeed, because he had used to work as an Internet Marketing specialist before.
Coming up a little bit later today or tomorrow morning is a post about – why anybody – a company or an individual – should use social media.
For those people that are interested in what i am talking about, here are some older posts on social media and “new era” advertising : )
