Sam (that's my 12 year old Border Collie) and I were walking again through Bush (Australian countryside). Sam as usual was ranging out from me checking for Eucalyptus trees that needed his marketing skills.
When we reached our usual rock beside fallen log, Sam asked, "Gordon! you know how you work hard publishing that e-zine of yours? Well I think you could do better."
What do you mean I could do better Sam? I thought it was going fairly well. I get good feedback on a weekly basis.
"Well", said Sam, "I'll bet you get feedback from only a small percentage of your subscribers and another percentage only subscribe to get FREE ads"
"Besides what about program you've become a member of? Is it going as well as you'd like?"
I thought it was going fairly well Sam! Don't forget I've got to support new members until they become profitable and that takes up a bit of time.
"Look!" retorted Sam, "Are you fully occupied with your downline support? In other words couldn't you support a lot more new people in your downline if you had to?"
I suppose I could Sam, but it's a bit slow at moment so I don't have to worry too much about that.
"You can't think like that!" said Sam. You said, you were committed to helping and training up new people to become Professional Internet Marketers."
Well I am Sam, what's all fuss about?
"You really don't see it do you! You are only half occupied with downline support, so why don't you get more new people to train and support in your downline right now? Today!"
Well it's not as easy as just getting new people, they have to be interested in becoming new members. It's a bit like getting new subscribers for The E-zine. It takes a lot of advertising just to keep subscriber list growing each week.
"I can't believe you could be such a silly Galah! (an Australian member of Parrot family known for its silly antics). Look! There are thousand and thousands of Internet marketers constantly looking for better ways to become profitable marketing on Net.
