” Focus on learning now ” this is a direct quote from Steve, I am listening Steve, AND Learning!!
I started my career with one Internet Home Business almost 2 years ago, I have now too many and after working with Steve for the last few days, I have been on the wrong course all of that time. Even though I have been working with Steve for only a day or two and by his omission, he has only been able to give me a fraction of the info he knows, a light has finally come on. Despite the horrendous mistakes I have made, and the massive hole I have dug for myself, what Steve has been able to show me has finally given me some hope, which was missing for some time.
This next part gets a little tricky, so stay with me for a bit. I have had a major mistrust of the Niche Marketing Industry for some time, I think its scamming, misleading and it preys on new people into the Internet Home Business segment of the market. Even though Steve is a supporter of the Industry as a whole, and is undoubtedly one of the most decent people I have ever met, I still hold true with my assertion about the scammyness of NM. Here is why.
The skills and expertise that you need to have at least some chance to succeed in NM is far and above the skills and expertise of the average person. The very strong survive, the majority who are weak and new, do not, the people who make out like bandits are the sellers of the NM systems and packages. That is the end of my opinion on that subject, here is the real purpose of this post.
YES, Steve, I have learned. I may not have learned what Steve wanted me to learn, but the purpose of Steve, an absolute stranger to me til a few days ago, the purpose of Steve spending all day yesterday on helping me set up a NM Internet Home Business, was to in fact show me a way out of my abyss. Steve sees me getting out of my black hole one way, and because of Steve, I see me getting out a different way, BUT, BUT still using Steve’s help and guidance.
I can actually see me fighting a way out of my mess, and I would never of been able to do it without Steve’s help. I am taking the leap of faith here and saying, despite the huge massive hole I have dug myself, I will be able to salvage something, right the ships a bit, and crawl out, thanks to Steve.
I don’t think Steve and I will probably ever agree on the best way to do this, BUT the purpose of Steve jumping in was to help, and that he did. I will try in a nut shell, to explain what Steve was suggesting, rightfully so, and what I took from that and will apply it to my situation. When you hear an anguished scream from California, that will be Steve reading this and gnashing his teeth together.
Steve’s approach is to find small markets NM, find weaknesses in those markets, keywords that are not being held by top page ranked sites, and then move in on them, exploit their weakness, and before they know it, you have top ranking in the search engines and you are king of the hill. Steve spent his time and effort and found me a great NM, the problem was, it was not in my area of expertise, and would not of supported the work I have already done. that is Steve screaming again.
Here is where Steve will never speak to me again, I am going to use his skill and expertise, and do it in reverse with my current sites. My mistake has been to try to tackle a hugely popular market head on, has not worked for almost 2 years. I will now look for, and find, small NM within my existing markets and start to attack those keywords and phrases, just like Steve has shown me.
If I had met Steve almost 2 years ago, I have no doubt, that both he and I would be doing very well right now, not that Steve is not doing very well now, but you see the point . As Steve has told me, this is about learning, and I believe I have learned an incredible valuable lesson from him, one that I believe will be the key out of my abyss. I hope you have learned as much out of this post as I have writing it, I am going to spend the rest of the day working on putting what Steve has taught me into practice. Steve , are you ever going to speak to me again ? Have a great day, see you tomorrow.
