Copy Cats

October 16th, 2006Rants, Strategy No Comments

One of the things about achieving a certain amount of success is that at some point you’ll get the honor of having someone either copy or outright steal your ideas.

I freely admit I got the idea for the actual name for this blog from another marketer, in an offhand comment he made to me in a forum post many months ago. But the concept was in the back of my mind, waiting for a little spark to set it in motion.

Marketing No Brainers then came to be as a blogger blogspot blog while I tested the concept to see if there was any interest. And there was interest.

So a while back I registered the domain and put it up on it’s own web space. And then I converted it to Wordpress after blogspot reliability hit the skids. And here we are.

Subscribers to the Marketing No Brainers news know that they get monthly, sometimes bimonthly specials on infoproducts, at almost giveaway prices. Click here to see one. And click here to see another.

Today in my email I see a marketer from across the pond has started a “no brainer” type offer, complete with web site to match. And to his credit, his structure and name are enough different that I doubt he’s a copy cat, just someone else with a good idea.

But to his discredit, his item is reasonably priced, but certainly not cheap enough to merit pouncing on it as a no brainer. And his offer is open for one day a week only. Hmmm.

Jim Edwards warned me about this. And for many years while selling on eBay, I experienced it first hand. People will copy you, especially when you’re successful. take it as a compliment, and get on with what you’re doing right.

Now if they copy your web site content, that’s another thing all together. People have already done that to me also, in bandwidth stealing ways. So watch your back, watch your inbox, use copyscape, and learn what your rights are.

Joel Comm, Adsense Templates, and Email

October 16th, 2006Adsense, List Building, Rants, Strategy 1 Comment

I really can’t stand it any more. I finally have to say something else about Joel Comm and his Instant Adsense Templates 2.

No I’m not trying to sell you his Adsense Templates. In fact I don’t recommend them at all. And they’re most likely sold out by the time you read this anyway.

I find it interesting that in two emails Joel sent me in the middle of the release of his Adsense package he suddenly started talking about email list marketing.

Here are some direct quotes from those emails:

“Good mailing lists are like gold dust.”

“When you capture email addresses on your
website, you’re able to squeeze more out
of your advertising budget.”

“You should certainly be trying to capture
names and addresses on your website.”

“I stand by the fact that building a mailing
list of your own is a sure way to build on
your business.”

So there you have it, from the man who sells Adsense templates to thousands. How does he do that? Through email list marketing, of course.

Here’s another thing he said:

“Just make sure you use double opt-in
techniques and find a reputable mailer
service that will give you maximum
deliverability.

I recommend Aweber. com for this service.”

P.S. If you wonder why I don’t endorse Adsense Templates it is because, on average, my affiliate and my own product sales are 50, yes fifty, times my Adsense earnings.

And there’s another reason. A template is a template is a template. Google’s human trained bots are smart enough to figure that out.
