It seems to me that there are basically two main types of people out there when it comes to looking at starting an online business
Starters and tyre kickers
Ok so these are generalisations - of course there are people who don’t fit either category
But in the main, in my experience that’s how it is.
The Internet business industry has itself to blame for this to some extent
Back in the early wild west, dot.com boom and bust days there was a lot of crap out there no doubt about it
Online advertising was new and wasn’t very closely monitored - scammers, sellers of get rich quick and other “snake oil salesmen” could pretty much say what they wanted.
They could promise the world and deliver nothing
So lots of people who looked into starting an online business back then got burned and disappointed
I’m one of them
But I persevered - It’s a whole different ball game now by the way.
Those old wild west saloons are out of business and there are lots of new sheriffs in Internet town!
Eventually I learned what to look out for and more importantly what to look FOR
So when I found SFM nearly six years ago I could tell that I’d found “The One”.
They provided all the information I needed up front for free via their video series so I knew what I’d be investing in
The offered a no quibble 30 day money back guarantee with their initial application fee of $29.95
(I have to be brutally honest here - if “risking” 30 bucks is a big deal for you then an internet business - any business in fact - Is really not for you)
That initial fee gave me the opportunity to talk directly to a full time SFM consultant and really drill down what was on offer while actually reviewing what I was getting
What I was NOT getting was:
Fancy software designed to “game the system”.
Promises of easy overnight wealth
Products based on nothing more than hot air (see ponzi schemes)
A community full of tyre kicking losers
What I WAS getting was:
A modern education in digital marketing which would enable me sell anything online
Proven digital business systems that automate the process of selling products on the internet
A suite of tools that enabled me to quickly build websites, lists, graphics, sales pages, follow up systems, analytical tools, blogs and a whole lot more
Ongoing, up to the minute weekly and monthly training from the best in the business
Invitations to Live events where I could actually meet and chat with the founders of the business
Membership in an exclusive community of winners and self starters
A range of optional, high profit business partnerships to get started with.
I grabbed all of it with both hands
Like I say, that was nearly 6 years ago and I’m still here.
In that time I’ve introduced a lot of people to SFM and DEA
I’ve also spent a fair bit of my valuable time with tyre kickers and I probably always will
Because you just never know who you are talking to
It could be someone who is actually ready and who I can help
So I’ll keep talking to my share of tyre kickers and wish them the best - there’s only so many tyres you can kick after all before you give up
Luckily I get to spend more time with the starters in the long run.
There have been a few this week - maybe you’ll be next? ……..
START HERE
All the best!
