A look inside the profitable world of online marketing.
I think I figured out where I failed my customers…
Erik Stafford here… and I have stumbled on to something that has blown my mind:
A totally new way to get started online that is even easier and more profitable than using my program to build your first website.
I have spent the last few weeks digging around, trying to learn as much as I can about these new underground methods…
And while I am excited about discovering them, it has caused me some serious concern because it looks like what I have been ‘preaching’ to you for the past year may not be entirely accurate.
WHAT I TOLD YOU
=====================
I told you that the first step to creating success online is to use my system to build a squeeze page so that you can capture leads and build a list.
It turns out that there may be an easier way that takes less time to setup and creates profits quicker: in as little as two weeks in some cases, believe it or not…
WHAT I TOLD YOU
=====================
I told you you need to be passionate about your topic, niche, or industry so that you could write about it in an emotional, real way.
This system works in any industry and it doesn’t matter if you are passionate about it or not, because you never have to create any content!
This discovery has made me take a hard look at my products and where they may fall short…
I think I assumed that you know what you want to do with your website…
And the truth is that many people have NO IDEA what they want to do with their website!
And even if they do, they still need to figure out what to sell, how to create those products, how to write compelling copy, and how to generate traffic sources so there are buyers coming to the website…
Well, it looks like I may have found a method that removes ALL these headaches…
While it hurts to admit it, I think I have found a system that essentially answers all the questions that I haven’t answered for you.
I am sorry if I have let you down.
I am working like crazy to learn more about this stuff. Hopefully I can make it up to you by setting up a private call with the guy who showed me all of this, so that I can share it with you too…
Keep your eyes peeled for an email from me over the next few days with more information.
To your success,
Erik
P.S. Want to share your thoughts? I would love to hear them. Go ahead and comment.

This sounds very similar to what I attempted to tell you in my last email, Warren

Hi Eric, Thank you for your honesty. I know it isn’t always easy to admit somthing like this. I am sorry that I stopped working with Faster Webmaster. I just started Mary Gersten’s CMPS porgram in Jan’08, and I’m new at all the aspects of marketing. I need to close the learning curve gap before I continue, so please be patient, but not too patient! Okay? I got addicted to purchasing and downloading all the free stuff and things that sounded good and thought I needed. So, now I’m overwhelmed by it all. I get emails from everyone and can’t keep up with it all. I can’t accomplish anything at this rate.
I really need to concentrate on CMPS cerification, but also on how to build a list. I don’t have a single soul to market to! I have no email list. And I don’t know how to promote anything as an affiliate yet. Wish me luck!
Sincerely,
Rosemary Amador

Thanks for your email. I think the biggest problem I have starting something new is knowing where to start. There are so many emails in my box now it’s pitiful. What is good, what is not? Everybody wants my phone number and my money. There is little of that and I’m on the phone all day at work. There’s got to be an easier way to weed through all of this and find something worthwhile.

and if your friendly emails were not coming in, the match beside my mailbox would combust instantly! Fully appreciate your time sharing and caring for a better letter in the mail box, Erik

Hi Erik,
I just read this blog and the comments and really relate to Rosemary Amador, I have been trying to find something to sell that I am passionate about. I have also been learning for 4 months how to build a website, how to market, how to build lists, how to close the deal and on and on and on. Now you say you have something better and can save time and effort and you don’t need to find something passionate.
I have spent way too much on free stuff and $10 to $50 to save time and money programs but I still don’t have a product to start promoting.
I am ready to make serious money, because I am broke and now have no job. Tell me the best plan to start with, without me having to learn HTML and Digg and Facebook right now. All that stuff makes me think there isn’t enough time in any week to do all there is to get going on the web. I hope there is an easier way.
Thanks for your time.

Eric,
I just started reading your blog and was intrigued by your article about a new way to get started on the web: “A totally new way to get started online that is even easier and more profitable than using my program to build your first website.” It looks like you posted it almost 3 months ago. “Erik on 10 Mar 2008 12:45 pm” – If you have published this information, I would love to find out how I could access it.
