OK, another thing to be aware of is the:

"The 7 secrets of...." or "Never-before-revealed-marketing-secrets-that-will-change-your-life"

...obviously, the information might well be true, but just be aware that whatever is promised (legal financial disclaimers aside for a moment), you have to put in alot of effort to start with.

There's no easy ride with any system. You have to put in the effort.

It takes time.

So don't be duped into thinking that with this new amazing-system-that-you've-just-found that you'll be able to suddenly sponsor 150 new team members. It just doesn't work like that. You have to spend time with people, unless you're doing a totally computer-based operation like affiliate marketing. PPC or GPT-based advertising campaigns.

But if you are doing those as well, (& I'm planning to do those at some point), you've still got to bear in mind that the people selling these new techniques & secrets will make money, even if you don't.

They're not going to give away this amazing new system if it doesn't do something for them.

As I read this blog, I know there'll be some experienced marketers out there who'll be asking why I'm bothering with this: well, I hope I'm a fairly intelligent person, but I've been so easily duped into taking hold of some marketing hype, which will invariably miss out some of the finer points for the sake of bold/impacting copy, and if your new to marketing/network marketing in general, it's easy to be taken in.

So don't be.

Set yourself a monthly budget for marketing & stick to it.

And get on with the hard work of building your business, whatever area you've settled for.

RIght, time to put the mirror down & get on with it myself :)
