Having Trouble Making Money? You Might Have A Nasty Case of MCN.

Do you spendrepparttar 120024 majority of your time trying to convince your prospects that they absolutely must buy your product? Are you experiencing low conversion rates and high negative-response rates? Are you starting to feel like internet marketing success really is just a myth? Do you think everyone is lying to you?

These are all symptoms of MCN, marketing in a crowded niche. If you're dealing with them on a regular basis, chances are there are just plain too many people selling a similiar product to your same targeted customer base.
