This article is going to do something that a lot of people don’t like doing…think. But every once in a while, I think it’s good to think. Well, here’s what I want you to think about today. Does what you do as an Internet marketer mean a hill of beans? Does it REALLY matter? Not sure? Well, if you’re not, you might want to read what’s about to follow. If nothing else, it WILL get you thinking…even if it’s something that you don’t like doing.

Let me start off by saying this much so that it doesn’t sound like I’m trying to make anybody feel guilty about being an Internet marketer, though sometimes we’re lumped into the same category with lawyers and used car salesmen. Truth is, whether we like it or not, self preservation is probably our greatest driving force. Most people, unless they’re in a lot of pain or horribly depressed, don’t want to die and, if push came to shove, would do just about anything to survive. Well, part of surviving is making enough money to at least put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads. Okay, so there is nothing wrong with earning a living. We all have to do it.

Ah…but at what cost? How far are we willing to go? More importantly, how far do we HAVE to go? Can’t we, as Internet marketers, actually sell a product or service that actually helps our customers? We should. But do we? And that’s what I want to get you thinking about today. Take a look at your business model. Take a look at the products and/or services you sell. Do they REALLY make a difference in somebody’s life? Can you look in the mirror and say to yourself, “Somebody who buys my product is going to be better off today than they were yesterday?”

For that matter, do you even know? Have you ever REALLY sat down to think about the products and/or services you sell? Or are they just things to you…a means to an end? If that’s all we’re doing, just picking any old thing that’s going to put that much needed food on the table, then why don’t we at least sell something BIG. I mean what the heck…if it’s just a sale for money’s sake, go for the big stuff. If you’re in the “make money” niche, the heck with those cheap ebooks. Sell a $1,997 home study course. If you’re just out to make money, make MONEY.

Sounds kind of mercenary doesn’t it? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Most of the products I sell are in the $27 to $47 range. Why? Because they’re good products and I believe in them. I’ve never sold one of those inflated $1,997 courses because I just don’t believe in them. I think most of the really good stuff is actually pretty cheap. But that’s just my opinion.

By no means am I here to be your conscience. You have to do what YOU have to do. Like I said, self preservation is right up there at the top of the list. But if you feel like it, sit down and ask yourself this question…

“Does what I do mean a hill of beans?”

If the answer is yes, it just might make you feel pretty darn good.
