Are Internet Marketing Tools An Essential Or A Waste Of Money?
Are Internet Marketing Tools An Essential Or A Waste Of Money?
I would just wanted to talk a little today on the subject of Internet Marketing Tools. After being online for over 8 years and coaching many people on marketing their online business. I tend to see a repeated thing over and over again with many new people starting online.
In fact before I spent a fortune on Internet Marketing Courses and Trainings I was guilty too. Yes I used to always look for the free stuff. The cheap way to make money and on a daily basis I see so many people who live by this technique.
There may be some people I never met before doing very well from it? But in my experience of people using these methods, That I have met they always seem to be broke or have a broke mindset.
One sure fact in marketing is that the number of people buying and selling online is becoming more and more. And many things that used to work a few years ago do not work anymore.
I believe having the right marketing tools and software will make your online business stand out from people who are doing the Free Stuff. And in the online marketplace when thousands of people are selling the same thing you need to stand out above the rest of them.
If you want to create any serious income online. So instead of trying to penny pinch put those Internet Marketing tools on your shopping list and take your business to the next level. Of course remember to utilse the tools you buy .. They are not to decorate your hard drive either.
Happy Marketing

You're absolutely right and it's not always about the money, it's about the mindset. Didn't look at it from that perspective. Thanks for the insight. ~Debbi
Great advice, Sotiris. I too am a believer in having the right tools for the job. In the final analysis, having good tools will save you money and, most importantly, time (the one thing you can never replace).
Thanks for the indepth insight I do get what you mean I am just not as confident with the tech stuff yet but getting there and I am all for investing to grow a business and yes make money to put in to.. thanks I do like the very positive and focused way you have
I understand where your coming from but for some it is not about penny pinching as a lot of people I have noticed it is even a struggle to find the money for WA membership, for me it is just understanding how much we really need and is it the right tool for the job, I am sure I am not the only one who wasted money on software which is not right or beyond my understanding, or just not do what it claims to do.
I understand where you are coming from too.. That is the way I used to think.. I went minus $100k yes I spent 100k on education and tools.. That's why I can make 10k a month from only one of my Internet businesses in a month and I have many.. You get what you focus on in life, so if you focus on being broke you will get more of it. If you focus on I need to buy Camtasia to make tens of thousands of dollars. You can get that too.
I am talking about real tools, Not Mickey mouse guru push button millionaire software. And courses. Things like Camtasia, Aweber,Paid Hosting, And of course you can play around for a while with free stuff. But tell me one serious Internet Marketer who markets, online without paid tools? Paid hosting an autoresponder. Unless they sell on Amazon' Ebay Or Fiverr.
Like I said before there is money everywhere online, Fiverr, Amazon , Ebay, Mowing the next door neighbours lawn. Singing birthday songs on Fiverr. But you could believe or say that it is hard, There is no money out there blah blah blah, And that would be your perception not reality. In fact at one stage I needed 6k to get into a business which at the time I didn't have.
Instead of focusing on not having the money I told myself in Two weeks I have to buy this no matter what. Less than two weeks later 4000 Euro turned up in my bank account due to a bank error completely unexpectedly. That business has made me close to 40k so far and I believe it will make me a lot more.
And if it hadn't turned up I would have sold something or found a way to earn it. If you ask yourself a powerful question you will get a powerful answer.Like how can I afford it?
If you ask a negative question, Like I am broke, I am stupid, that's too expensive. I can't afford that on my wages or salary. Then you have already answered, and decided on what the answer will be for that question.
In fact, that was the whole point of this post ;-)
Unfortunately, this post might make people who are still in that mindset uncomfortable. But that is not the purpose. The purpose is for someone who has that mindset right now to wake up. And change their income and or business for the better.
I learned a thing at a seminar from a millionaire called Pat Mesiti years ago that is when you hold your fist tight to hold on to the money. Nobody can give you money, I also use this analogy with Free Stuff.
The reason so many people are broke online is because they are getting or selling, giving away Free stuff to save money. Who pays for the Free stuff no one? So they end up broke. On the other hand if you sell a useful product or service and pay $300 for it. When you sell it and become an affiliate for it you can make $150 getting a 50% commission and help your client etc. Make money in the process.
Not only do you help the person by selling them the product or service they need, You get paid in the process. But if you say I cannot afford Aweber then you need to find a way to earn money giving away Free Autoresponders or tools which I haven't seen many rich marketers doing lately.
Could it be a coincidence maybe you decide for yourself.

Great advice Sotiris, but at the same time, some people just can't afford to pay for extra tools, so their option might be free tools to begin with.
