Choosing the right Guru






Hi Iam Andy Fowler, I have been Internet Marketing for about a year now and have made only about a £1000 a month on promoting products through hard work blogs and adds. But what I want to share with you as a novice is that when you first get started how do you choose the right Guru to guide you through those initial steps, below is a small article about how I made my mistake of choosing the wrong Guru.


Choosing the right marketing guru

Hello all my name is Andy Fowler and I have been doing internet marketing for about a year and I have to say it is one of the hardest things I have ever done but most important did I choose the right Guru?

I first started getting into Marketing after I went to a seminar down in London March 2011.

I had never heard of internet marketing and as you can guess I did not have a clue about any of it, anyway my wife said to me why don’t we go for the weekend see what its about and if its rubbish we will spend the time round London. I must confess I received an email about how to make loads of money on the Internet and I thought what a load of rubbish.

The weekend consisted of a number of speakers over two days telling people how they make thousands of dollars a month working their little magic on the internet to cash in on the hidden thousands available to everyone.

After day one and a numerous amount of pitches from the speakers we decided to go with a package that one of the speakers was offering, don’t get me wrong there were some good pitches and packages but the one we went with to us seemed genuine, the others made me feel like they were happy for the one and a half grand you would hand over but they were far to busy to give you their time and it would be some computer geek who would show you how to run the program.

So on the second day we sat down in a little quiet corner with a couple of drinks with the guy who we were going with, between both his phones constantly bleeping, dinging and ringing he ran through what the entailed, we thought that’s great he would give us loads of help get us on our feet and point us in the right direction, Well what are we waiting for so we signed up and a couple of grand lighter it was a done deal.

We left London the next day all excited, confused and apprehensive with what the hell have we done and what are we going to do, after a week we started getting Skype calls, and the guy giving us instruction on what to look at and read up on.

This went on for some time but in the mean time he said he was setting up a web site for us to promote our product, after a couple of months of short angry emails to him and a couple of abrupt Skype calls, and a longer than expected three months later the site was finished, I must admit the site looks great but it was nothing to do with him it was his wiz kid who he pays pence to set up his sites that did all the work, so the keeping in touch with us and contact him anytime for advice and help speech yes fell to the road side and at the end of the day do I think it was value for money? NO.
