Dave Gorby on having a true Internet Marketing Mentor and Web 2.0

Here is just my 2 (ok, maybe 4) cents on what is going on in the world of Internet Marketing.

For those of you that know me you already know that I am a high profile Internet Marketing Mentor and coach. For those of you that didn’t know…now you do. :-)

I am talking with a gentlemen online as I write this blog and it is just BLOWING MY MIND!

Not only did he have no idea that myspace and social networks are the “promised land” of prospecting, but even after I told him so, his exact words were “I like using myspace for meeting people and stuff”

AAAAaahhhhhhh….THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT!!!!

Meeting people! Yes, and stuff.

So here was my explanation to him:

Me: If I could show you a restaraunt where there were thousands of people eating lunch every day waiting for someone to tell them about how they could use capsules to reduce their cost of gasoline, would you just go there and eat or would you share your FFI product with them?
Him: I’ll share the product
Me: exactly
Me: myspace is that restaraunt my friend

The problem most people are experiencing online is that no one takes the time to break it down like this for them.

Why would I tell some one what to do, when I can EXPLAIN to them why we are doing it?

I don’t know about you, but I work with entirely too many people to hold their hand forever. Plus I am doing them a serious injustice by doing so.

I teach my people how to be self sufficient, so they can stand on their own two feet, then show their people how to do the same.

Let’s face facts. I am blessed! I have been blessed with mentors that taught me the things that we are talking about right now. If not, I would probably be reading this saying to myself “That makes sense!” instead of writing it saying “Why aren’t people teaching this?”

Web 2.0 is simply the second wave of the Internet people, and it is not on it’s way…IT IS HERE!

People use the Internet differently than they did even last year. Nor do they respond to the same techniques as last year.

If you don’t have someone showing you right from wrong…you will never know the difference!

My e-mail is gift4me2retire@gmail.com if you would like to chat!

Until next time…
