Ben: I have lots of favorites and a few that I’ve stopped listening to. Not that they’re bad, I just get tired of being “sold” to all the time. I tend to deal with marketing people that intermix content in with their sales letters. I understand that these people are trying to make a living, but give me a reason to read your stuff. I cancelled from Doug Champigny because all I ever got from him were sales letters. The same is true of Andrew Fox. I won’t buy anything from either of them. But Eric Holmlund, on the other hand gives out great information (like his “Tips”) and Liz Toomey is good about that, too. These are people I would buy from and read regularly because they don’t just take. They give back. I like that. Hope this answers your question.

You probably should read my previous post again about internet dreaming.

I will add more to my trust list. This was in no way conclusive, just a few people that I did want to bring attention to.

Hi Andre,

Haven’t heard from you for a while.

I don’t know Doug so well, but Liz and I have a special connection (her words). She is one of the best teachers on the ‘net in my opinion. I did think about including her in this post, but decided to leave her for another.

Hiya,

One of the most important things in any business in knowing the direction that you want to go in. If you have decided on blogging, then please do stick with it. Especially after having lacked focus before and now realizing it, it looks like you could do really great.

Not having a favorite ‘guru’ is not a problem, although I would advise at some point to appoint someone as your mentor so that they can give you direction.

PS. Don’t you just hate the word ‘guru’?

Hi Becki,

Yeah, I’m loving Alex Goad’s Google Conquest also. I’m almost feeling a bit guilty that I didn’t push it harder to my newsletter readers as I am already seeing so many success stories.

You mean Eric Holmlund?

Funnily enough he was one of the first guru-types that I got to know.

Hi Ben, thanks for the three wise men worth checking out, just wanted to say that Fladien book impressed me with his precise analysis of the marketing strategies and phases our society has gone through. Really cool book, kind of a mind opener. Will pay attention to Fladien stuff in the future.

Hope you ‘ll add more you “trust” list. I feel the same too. Should I call those (untrusted, unreliable) are just selling Internet Dreams. What do you think ?

Hi Ben, I really don’t really have a favorite internet marketer, or a least favorite, allthow I do think Calvin from imbuzz, is pretty
cool, and edwen chia. But I don’t really trust any internet marketer, because they all seem to try and sell you something for nothing, I’m a newbie, and for some reason they all seem to know that, and try to take advantage of tha fact that I don’t know that much yet! Anyway’,or at least that think I don’t. I’m trying to love everyone, because we are all Gods children. I try not to let the negative many upset me.

Good luck, and God bless,

Luis
