Every place where you put people together, real or virtually will heat up emotions... emotions of different types, and I have to admit, I'm a big fan of lifting emotions up... 
It is very interesting to see how information is processed by these emotions... how information becomes more than that... how the power games, affinities, and positioning get into place. It is so much fun!
A marketer recently apologized publically for his straight talking in Warriors. Often, the sum of the events in our lives leaves a mark of cynicism. Realistic, no BS talk, seems harsh and negative to many people.
The marketer wanted to dispel any negativity that his words may have generated. Keeping true to his straight talking ways, he made a sincere apology, as it was never his intention to condescend. Negativity is bad for people on both sides of the conversation.
The community is pretty much in favor of his method of communication. Most would rather have harsh truth rather than sweet lies. Another even offered this gem of wisdom…offer the newbies gentle truth, but with the more advanced take the gloves off… and let the harsh truth open their eyes. If it doesn’t, then it is not his problem. His responsibility ends there.
Communicating on the web is sometimes difficult. The words on the screen lack the body language clues that people in face to face conversations use to judge the underlying intent—good or evil. Tough love advice may be the only thing that breaks the chain of making the same mistakes over and over or going from one poor choice of action to another.
I love straight shooters...
It is simple actually... anyone with a SIZE will make shadow under the sun... and you know... those who are under the shadow might not be happy about it...
now... is this your business?
This apology was a nice move... |

Another question, I’ve seen everywhere is: What is the best browser?
The question keep arising from the upcoming IE8. Besides the normal upgrade fears, the lil detail here it is rumored IE8 will disallow cookies all together.
Riddle me this? Why would Microsoft, whose sites only function with cookies enabled, even dream of changing their browser to not allow them? This isn’t anywhere close to a wet one…it’s a nightmare for affiliate marketers. I’ve even heard a few marketers of the opinion that Google rushed Chrome into beta to give us all an IE8 alternative. Smart marketing, if true.
You need at least IE and Firefox to check your sites... something can look gorgeous in one and a kick in the stomach in the other... 
Firefox is the browser of choice among marketers. For research and stuff, I use Firefox, it has a couple of handy add-ons... 2 I can't live without:
- Screen Grab
- Search Status
In old times used Orphne... but it is not for soft of hearts, it contains offensive material.

Everyone has talents. Sometimes, we aren’t sure where or how to market them. A marketer recently asked if he should sell his custom template designs wholesale, and even wondered if there was a market for them.
He has very nice talents...
Of course, he could go the giveaway system. He would build a list and a following. Plus, all those yummy backlinks from his built in link in the template footer.
These questions are a nice first step to know his market... but I think he could drill a bit deeper.
The only way to sell easy is to make an irresistible offer to someone who is looking for a product like yours...
Why someone would find irresistible to give you money each month for different templates? It should be someone who put up websites in different niches all the time, and has the resources and time to do it...
The lil detail is that a website is much more than the template... and people who count with the resources to make use of this product might prefer a really unique look.
You know? if he teamed up with a writer and made full packages. Or connected his templates with an application and offered some way of customization with spinning and hosting, he can access a different more upscale type of buyer...
Once you define your target market, the right way to own them will come to you.
Now... all this chit chat leads to you... and me, and all of us. Have you ever done a talent assessment? do you know what are your strengths and weaknesses? Are you taking the best possible advantage of your strengths and covering your butt outsourcing the others?
Let me ask you a question... What are the talents needed to be an internet marketer? Which ones can be outsourced? Which to start a business? to make it to full time? to break the 5 figures? to break the 10 figures?
Do you know? do you have an opinion? Then, please, register here and post your comment (it's fast and easy).

An awesome tip to warm you up on a cool fall day. Paypal has a hidden area that could save you a bunch in their nasty fees. Many thanks to Ian del Carmen for the info.
In case you didn’t know this- you can apply to get a better rate from Paypal if you reach a certain level of sales.
Follow these steps:
Step 1: Login to your Paypal account.
Step 2: Go to this link.
If you qualify, this may let you automatically drop your fees by .4% to 1%.
More links for your information:
And, if you are curious about your current fees, here’s how to check them out:
- Scroll to the bottom of your paypal account and select fees.
- Click the fee’s url link.
- Then, you will find your percentage rate based on your own sales volume.
How’s that for a recession buster? Thanks Ian!!
