    Yes, I have finally reached the breaking point. The lame forum posts are starting to drive me crazy. Folks, it’s time for the yawn brigade to leave town or I’m going to have to start drinking coffee again. Yes, in case you haven’t guessed, this is yet another rant from your favorite Internet marketer. (What…I’m NOT your favorite?) Anyway, read this tirade at your own risk. You’ve been warned.

    There isn’t a morning that doesn’t go by that I don’t head on over to the Warrior Forum and find yet another thread on some lame subject. Today, it was another one about the gurus. First of all, I hate that word. These people are NOT gurus. They’re just hard working people who have made a name for themselves. I don’t hear anybody calling Donald Trump a guru.

    Anyway, this thread was going on about how some guru launch was being met with great apathy. Seems all the people this guy asked (probably all of 10) loudly proclaimed “I’m not buying!”…as if that means a hill of beans. Contrary to what YOU might be thinking, the 10 people or so who responded to the thread proclaiming their disdain for the gurus are NOT the target market. There are plenty of people out there who WILL be buying. And you can take that to the bank.

    This sort of ranting goes on all the time…members complaining about long sales copy, video squeeze pages, being emailed too often, being emailed too seldom, too many product launches, and on and on and on. I keep asking myself this question. With all the ranting that these people do, when do they find any time to actually work on their business?

    Bottom line is this. I’m tired of the ranting. Actually, I’m bored to death from it. Can we maybe have some discussion on the forum that’s meaningful? Oh, I don’t know…like maybe how to effectively build an opt in list. Yes, that would be a very meaningful discussion. It might actually make a few people some money. Maybe we could discuss ad copy strategies. Believe me, there are a ton of people on that forum who could use a lesson in writing.

    What do YOU think? Am I being too critical? Is there a room for ranting about the same old thing day after day? Am I jaded because I’ve been doing this for so long? Or maybe, just maybe, I want to talk about things that will actually improve my business and make me a better marketer.

    After all, isn’t that what we all want?

    To YOUR Success,
