I got an email from a client today that really irked me…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s what she said:<\/p>\n

“I’m a writer and I also have 4 affiliate websites,\u00a0all 4 months old or younger, and still not making\u00a0<\/em>any money. I’m growing a list but I don’t know\u00a0<\/em>what to do with that list! What to offer etc.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nI love writing articles, but it’s not getting me\u00a0<\/em>to where I want to be financially…I’m not good\u00a0<\/em>at the marketing side of things and there is\u00a0<\/em>a lot of competition these days.”<\/em>
\n— Karen Coomier<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yech. There are a few reasons why that bothers me.<\/p>\n

But first, it’s not Karen’s fault and it’s not yours either.\u00a0I blame the lies, deceit, and utter garbage that the\u00a0<\/strong>so-called “goo-roos” proclaim.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PROBLEMO NUMERO #1:
\nMultiple Sites With ZERO Focus<\/h2>\n

Okay, so here’s the thinking of some big name dudes…<\/p>\n

“Make $1\/day from one site, then churn out 100 sites,\u00a0<\/em>
\nnow you have $100\/day.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Urhm.\u00a0Really?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because I’ve seen some of my clients who have hundreds\u00a0(upon hundreds) of sites, and they’re making a collective\u00a0sum of\u00a0pennies<\/em>\u00a0per day.\u00a0(Yippie! Smash the piggy bank and\u00a0<\/em>
\nbuy me some bubble gum!)<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s the TRUTH:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not about the number of sites you have, and it’s not\u00a0even about the number of visitors you get (hey, I’ve had\u00a0profitable businesses with just a hundred visitors a day)…<\/p>\n

What MATTERS is how you IDENTIFY with your visitors\u00a0<\/strong>and how you show ’em why you’re the coolest of the cool.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PROBLEMO NUMERO #2:
\nI Don’t Know What To Send To My List<\/h2>\n

Again, I blame the “goo-roos”… because their example\u00a0of “relationship building” goes something like this:<\/p>\n

Email #1: Pitch
\nEmail #2: Pitch again (harder)
\nEmail #3: Pitch again (even harder)<\/p>\n

…then a month later, they recycle the same emails\u00a0and pitch the same\u00a0garbagio<\/strong>\u00a0again.<\/p>\n

That’s NOT how you build a relationship and definitely\u00a0<\/strong>NOT how you make a raving fan of your work.<\/strong><\/p>\n
