He sells e-books from a 50 page long scrolling webpage that tells you how YOU can achieve FORTUNE BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS and FINANCIAL FREEDOM by just saying YES I WANT IT NOW and submitting your email while giving you zero real information about the product on offer... there are probably 10 paragraphs on how he was brought up in a working class background, his dad and mum both held down two jobs at two different factories and he used to get up at 3am every morning to cycle to his job before going school but now he drives an F430 and lives in a 7 bedroom mansion... and works just 10 minutes a day... not bad for a 32 year old.
He lives and breathes "Web 2.0". The rest of the world calls it spam. Professional marketeers laugh at such marketing practices over their lattes at the IDMF.
Fortunately for him, there are enough gullible idiots... er... potential customers to make him likely richer than you'll ever be.
PS Welcome to T2W.
I admire your positivity although you sound exactly like the sort of person I thought you would be. In any case, it is important to remain positive esp through a drawdown. The typical reaction to a drawdown is to stop trading and then your system becomes profitable again and you're on the sidelines watching your system call loads of decent signals. When you jump back in, it's just starting on the drawdowns and you lose more money.
Good reply.
By professional marketeer I meant people who are qualified with the Chartered Institute of Marketing. They didn't "fake it until they made it". They go in as graduate trainees and are trained by the likes of the CIM and their marketing directors how to market their goods/services. You could argue it's a means to an end. I think the means is more important than the ends. That is why I don't run a door hinge manufacturing business, for instance. Of course, I want riches beyond my wildest dreams (well, a slight exaggeration) but I want to profit from doing something I'm interested in... door hinges, for example, isn't one of them.
The reality is that people that are qualified with the Chartered Institute of Marketing are not the people making the most money. They are still in the 'Rat Race', if they are in a job. If you have a brilliant idea and go for it, with or without qualifications, you might just strike gold.
I mean there are so many excellent examples of people that have succeeded from all walks of life without qualifications... I have a Masters Degree, but that doesn't mean anything. It just gives me a better position in a job, that's if I'm given the chance...
Anyway nice chatting with you. To Your Success.
