What Heck Does Vincent van Gogh Have to do With Internet Marketing? Everything and Nothing! On my modest marketing web site I have a copy of a Vincent van Gogh portrait I created for a charity fund raiser some years back. It makes my main page load slow and more than a few people have suggested I should remove it - besides they say - van Gogh and Internet Marketing. What's connection?
It all boils down to stubborn old learning habits that never die!
Let me explain - I am trained as an artist - one of best ways to learn how to draw or paint is to copy Masters. Spend a few hours copying a van Gogh, a Monet or a Durer and you will learn more in those few hours than months spent in classroom pouring over color theories, composition charts, and paint mixtures.
Learn by seeing thru eyes of Masters!
They have been there, done that, and they have solved all major problems for you. It works perfectly and artists have been learning this way for centuries.
When I started internet marketing I applied same method. (Did I mention I was stubborn!) A few hours studying Masters - their techniques, their marketing tools, their mind sets - saved me and they will save you from months (if not years) of trial and error.
Finding Masters was hardest part! With so many proclaimed and self-proclaimed 'gurus' on web; finding genuine article among all 'bovine deposits' was extremely difficult.
However, it wasn't long before some names kept popping up, again and again.
Mark Joyner, Neil Shearing, Michael Glaspie, Phil Wiley...!
But where do you find these masters of internet marketing in order to study and dissect their marketing techniques - and yes 'copy' their 'Methods'. After all, a few hours studying their methods will save you from months of trial and error.
