EP26: [Marketing Mindset] What does it take to be a marketer online – Part 2?

Thanks for joining me.

We’re continuing with this theme of what does it take to be a marketer online.

As a short recap, last week I revealed that not all is as it appears to be online.

Sometimes people fib a little when they encourage people to purchase their products.

They forget to let people know marketing online is difficult and no one product will be the end-all answer to building a successful online business.

I get it.

It’s hard to know who to trust, right?

Especially when big-name gurus who should know better fail to be completely transparent in their marketing.

A lot of people are selling the belief that marketing is “easy” when that could not be further from the truth.

I know exactly what that feels like.

Especially after spending money on a course or product, hoping that it will solve a problem, it instead introduces even more problems.

Over the last few days, one of my mentors André Chaperon of TinyLittleBusinesses.com. André emailed out a parable that spoke to my heart.

I want to read it to you as written.

Be forewarned, it is powerful, full of illustrations and enormous bits of online truth.

I hope it finds a place in your thoughts as you pursue your marketing dream.

Here we go.

Listen to the Podcast to enjoy the "Parable".

At some point, we need to decide to take our future into our own hands.

After all, it is our business.

It's your business.

Learning how to climb internet mountains IS what I’m here to help you do.

If it were a brick-and-mortar business, you wouldn't just run around purchasing products without doing some research and maybe getting referrals or testimonials.

As online marketers, we have to keep upping our game, which involves continuing education.

My wife is a Real Estate agent, and she has to take courses every year to keep her license active.

Thankfully we do not have that regulation.

Still, unless you're willing to keep learning your craft, and marketing is a craft, you will always fall behind.

On this podcast, I do not charge for my advice. You can take what I say with a grain of salt.

But after many years living through the heartache, like many of you have suffered through, or are suffering through, my advice comes from a place of wisdom.

I can still remember when I found my mentor and how his knowledge changed how I looked at online marketing. He took off my blinders and showed me how to truly be a marketer.

This podcast is my way of sharing that knowledge with all of you.

I didn’t mean to be so long-winded today, but I could not help myself.

I’ll do better next week I promise.

Thank you ALL for joining me today.

The coronavirus is still here, be safe out there.

See you next week.
