Thanks for this John and you are right people nowadays are just so lazy, they won’t do it themselves though because then they can’t complain. You do the right thing just deleting them.

Well you know what I am doing as I am here the same as you. Xxx

I find the same thing with networking with folks on social media. Sometimes they message you about how to get started but when you point them in the right direction, they do nothing.

Social media is full of tire kickers and time wasters. I rarely bother with it unless it's throwing money into ads lol.

SEO is definitely the best method to attract REAL ACTION TAKERS and customers :)

We must surround ourselves with positive minded people and avoid negative minded people as good as it is possible. Just like Loes says we must be a role model to them and hope that they will awaken and change their mindset.

So you are right, John, don't let the negative people steal your energy.

Have an awesome positive day!!
:-)

Hey John, I follow the 3 W's and it always works for me.
Some Will
Some Won't
So What?
Keep at it, I say to them what my mentor taught me years back.

"Don't wish it was easy, wish you were better,
Don' wish for less problems wish for more skills
Don't Wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom".

Life and business is a challenge that we face every day, that you for enlightening me that I am on the right path. Make it a great stay!

I think it's easy for people to lose track of all the newsletters they subscribe to. Sometimes they think they're being spammed, and sometimes they aren't. Perhaps some of your complainers forgot who you were one day and were affronted by the marketing messages? Yes, you're right. They may always unsub without any fuss.

Lately, I've noticed a trend in the newsletters of a couple of my favourite bloggers where, rather than placing the 'unsubscribe' button at the bottom of their emails, they make a loud announcement right at the top. I really like it. Something to the effect of - 'we really don't want to waste your time! Unsubscribe right here if you want to!'

I have never read such a message at the beginning of an email and thought myself, you know what, I think I WILL. I just keep reading.

On the other hand, I keep track of who gets what email by adding a unique tag to my gmail whenever I subscribe somewhere, so that if a person says they will *never ever* share or sell my email, and I suddenly begin getting unsolicited letters to that unique email, I know who did it. Instant, silent banishment follows, and a block in the email.

I don't have a list but, I do know when I sign up to someone's list what to expect so, I am totally confused on why anyone would get mad about something he or she signed up for...That just doesn't make no sense. I guess, they were not serious in the first place...

When I suggest people change what they are doing, many ask me why they should change. It is the other guy who is wrong!

Have you ever thought that the only person you can change is yourself. If you have been nagging at your husband to pick up his dirty socks for thirty years do you think continuing what you have been doing is going to accomplish anything.

Those who don't want to change, don't want to learn new things, don't want what WA offers.

Wow, yeah I don’t understand people at all. It’s all about excuses I think. Lazy, lack of motivation, who knows and they need an excuse. Great analogy.... I sell a microfiber cleaning cloth and other cleaning products that only clean by enzymes and not chemicals. Their cleaning power is so superior. I use all the products because they are so superior to chemicals but the fact that they are not chemical is a huge bonus. I don’t believe in hard selling them but I do tell people how great they are. I’m willing to sell at a discount. People will just comment how much they love the stuff and would love to switch to them but then just keep using their same old junk. I get tired of even telling people after awhile - just wastes my breath!

I totally agree with you! I am not in the make money online niche and I don't have an email list yet but I understand what you mean.

If they didn't want the information, why did they sign up? If they decide they don't want the information, unsubscribe! Or at least ask to be taken off the list nicely!

Some people are just very negative in general!

These people sound like the wrong audience. I call them the lazy and unwilling audience.

So many people interested in making money online buy into the deception that you can make huge amounts of money with little effort when the reality is making money online is a full-time job.

Many people who join WA in my experience give it up within a couple of months or after a 6 month period. This isn't long enough.

The fact is joining a program like WA has to be met with a realistic expectation. For me, I concluded that I would need to at least put in 2 years of work before I could expect financial returns which is why I gave WA a shot.

Within 8 months I started making £350.00 - £500.00/MTH from organic traffic. The revenue was made from affiliate programs I promoted and in some months Google Adsense. This figure has increased over the years once I started to employ capital and implement PPC to my campaigns.

If you ask me, it takes a certain type to really be successful with WA and those types are always in my experience, realistic thinkers who won't allow wishful thinking to dominate their mind which is what people who fail are.

I wouldn't be mad I would just accept it as their wishful lazy thinkers and nothing more. Truth is I'm more interested in helping the realistic who I know will become a success if they put the WORK in.

Regards,

Sam.
