And Yet, They Call Me ‘Marketer’!

May 10th, 2008 | Influence & Attention, Affiliate marketing

I have noticed something about myself.

Yesterday, on a whim, I put together something called “My Impact Factor” Challenge. Within a few short hours, I had posted on forums, blogs, Twitter and sent out email to my list about it.

Why?

There were absolutely NO inhibitions. I felt it was something that would benefit everyone who participates. It would do a lot of good to many people. There was no financial element to it.

So I was sure no one could criticize it on the grounds that a. I was benefiting from it or b. I was just trying to make an extra dollar or two.

Now, I am right in the middle of a ‘dual launch’ - two products about being an infopreneur. One of them is “Think, Write & RETIRE” and the other is a high-ticket home-study program, “The Internet Infopreneur SYSTEM”.

Both are very detailed instruction manuals about turning words into wealth, and the information in the courses will benefit many of the people who decide to buy it.

But every time I think or plan of doing something to build buzz around the launch, my mental brakes slam on!
