Marketing No Brainers

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.
