Don’t laugh. Maybe you’re coming across same way. While Mike has collected a few dollars – slightly over $100 – fourteen thousand visitors have obviously not seen his blatant money grab as anything more than amusing. Meaning, they come out of curiosity, but don’t part with their hard earned cash.

If any of us are destined to become a millionaire, it’s not going to happen overnight. It’s not going to happen without a lot of work. But I’m sure you’ve heard this before. Keep in mind that people don’t owe you or me a darn thing.

I finally figured this out: If one truly wants to be wealthy, one must not think about money. That’s right. Forget about how much money you could make. Only then can we get back to enjoying online experience for what it is. A big community of people like us.

Have you ever thought of combining a little image branding along with your direct sales approach?

Let’s say you’ve written some great direct marketing sales copy for your “brand X” widget and people are buying it. Then your competitor comes out with exact same widget but sells it as “Fancy Brand X”.

Fancy Brand X also uses great copy to make sales, but in addition, it’s being touted as “the brand you can trust.”

After a while, Fancy Brand X begins to sell more and more until they are number one in your category. While your plain jane brand X widget barely gets noticed. What’s difference?

Fancy Brand X had an image created for it that was promoted along with every sale. What is public going to remember? Your no-name brand X or “the brand you can trust.”

Creating an image for your product or service and combining it with a powerful direct sales message, may just be a wise investment after all.
