Project management, outsourcing, overwhelm or conversions?
Published: Thu, 04/02/09
Hey,
I asked you to comment on my blog about "where it hurts."
You know, what do you want help with MOST right now?
* Project management (getting projects done)
* Staying focused
* Overcoming overwhelm
* Getting started
* Getting things to convert
What you say has a big influence on the next product or two
that I create.

What would YOU like my next product to be about? Post it.
I"m listening.

Marlon:
I broke my leg trying to skip a rung on the ladder of success!
When you try to skip steps and think you know a lot, this is what
happens.
You have done a tremendous job in mentoring everyone and keeping
up up-to-date and informed. I truly appreciate that. And for that,
I will be purchasing more of your products because of the
tremendous access you give to all of us!
Having said all of that, I think I've learned all of this fairly
well but, I haven't put it into practice. Ya know, paralysis of
analysis? I don't have the "right name" for my website, I don't
have the website with the squeeze page as it should be and I
haven't completed my ebook which I've worked on for three months.
My focus is SHOT! And I'm starving in the meantime.
But, I'm about to change all of that! I'm going to take everything
STEP-BY-STEP (so as, not to break a leg again) and I'm going to do
all of this in record amount of time.
I feel with you Marlon that it's People first, money second.
You must know the value of having someone down the block singing
your praises and referring others to you vs someone saying you're
only out for the money. NO ONE can EVER say that ABOUT YOU!
Thanks Man!

[Hey Chris, appreciate the comments. I think you have FOCUS.
Do the 2 week goals like I explained in that one article. Then
re-evealuate and plan the next 2 weeks. If you're ADD then maybe
plan 1 week at a time. FOCUS!]

Okay, you asked for it!
Just as I gain confidence in an "internet guru", they end up
sending me to another web site for someone else they are
endorsing. That's what makes this whole thing so confusing and
frustrating as to who has a program that will work for me.
I have a web site in a niche market but don't know how to get the
theme monetized. After 1 year, I haven't made a dime for my
efforts but spent thousands in "training". (though met some great
people who are on the web site!)
How are you different?
[Randy, I'm answering your blog post with some helpful advice. I
don't know if that makes me different or not. You have to figure
out your stuck point. Are you getting at least 100 unique visitors
a day? If not, you need to work on traffic. If you have 100 TRUE
unique visitors a day, then are you getting at least 10% of those
people to join your email list? If not, work on that. Once they
are on your list, send out emails and ask them to buy.
If they won't buy YOUR product then sell them someone else's. At
the extreme, you could give your product away for free if they join
your email list and confirm, then you present a series of 1 time
offers for affiliate products or some Camtasia videos you create
and stick on Kunaki or a member's area. You gotta know your stuck
point. Step a: Get 100 visitors a day. Step b: Get 10% or more on
your email list. Step c: Send offers. This is ALL explained pretty
well in detail in PromoDashboard.com Good luck to you.]

Ockham's Razor is one of the best products you have put out there.
I have all of your dashboards and several other products that have
helped us focus on our business. I purchased Formula Five a few
months ago and sent it back due to the cost of the product among
other things. Formula Five is a great product but I also was
reading Ockham's Razor at the same time. I believe that Ockham's
Razor does what Formula Five does without spending thousands of
dollars. People need to purchase this product. Marlon, you're
great. I will be looking forward to your next product that will
rival PPC classroom.
Nancy R.
[Nancy, I'm sure Formula Five is a great product. But yes, I
really think a number of my customers missed the boat by NOT
getting Ockham's Razor! Nancy, I'm not a ppc pro so I won't even
try to approach ppc classroom. I really like the training they are
doing.]
