I respect John Reese too much to ignore his message.

And John feels I mis-represented what he said. So this is to clarify what exactly was my motive in writing the “John Reese is WRONG“ post.

John did NOT say ‘marketing to Internet marketers’ was easy.

He did say it was the ‘best’ way to make money on the Internet.

Then why did I focus on the “easy” bit?

Because knowing how the mind of many online marketers works, I am convinced that the vast majority of folks listening or watching that presentation are going to come away carrying the idea that it is EASY.

And it is not.

There were 2 reasons for my blog post:

#1 - To highlight that ‘marketing to Internet marketers’ is NOT easy

#2 - To point interested readers towards John’s video, so they could learn about the potential that existed, if they were willing to work through the challenges

If I disagreed totally with John’s message, why would I end by saying:

“Hmm… then John Reese was actually RIGHT, wasn’t he?”

And why would I link to the video of his presentation?

I WANT you to visit his site and watch that video.

I also WANT you to go there with the right mindset - of realizing that what you’re learning about involves HARD WORK.

It was a pre-selling piece - before sending you to the ’sales page’. And John’s video does sell a coaching program… one he is probably the best person to teach, and from whom to learn - if you make the cut.

No, it is not an affiliate link.

No, I don’t get a commission if you register.

Yes, I get ‘good karma’ if I refer you there with realistic expectations.

Indeed, this is part of being an Internet marketing philosopher - not just another guru!
