Still Waiting

July 19, 2007

I’m still waiting on my course to come. In the meantime, I am busy with getting ready for my son’s third birthday and cluttering my mind with all kinds of business information.

This happens to me periodically. I start listening to a person and they lead me through their “funnel”. Then I get sucked into their joint venture (JV) partners’ funnels.

The worst is when someone is promoting their new book and if you go and buy it on Amazon, etc. you get all of these free things from JV partners. The deal is you have to opt in to their mailing lists.

It really becomes so much information that you end up not using any of it.

A lot of this may be due to the fact that most of it has an Internet marketing focus. It really is a glutted topic on the Internet.

I recently responded to a similar promotion to help a needy family. The family runs an online homeschooling business and they have a sick child. A group of people who also have online homechooling businesses got together and ran one of these freebie promotional campaigns.

For a suggested donation of $27 I got a ton of homeschooling resources. I found that promotion to be very helpful for me and not as much of a mental clutter problem. I also learned some new techniques called notebooking and lapbooking that I am really excited about.

The promotion was a success and they earned over $85,000 for the family with a two-week promotion.

You hear a lot about people making fast money like that online. Although, it’s not really fast, because all of those people had build up their businesses enough where they had large mailing lists to work with.

For me, it’s hard to stick with one product idea because I have so many of them. It’s also easy to get bogged down in the details and never get the idea developed in depth.

This is the time when I start opting out of things, making mind maps, and work to find my focus. I’m trying to create my system, and for me it is a difficult process.

Best to You,
Deborah
