Most people don’t hear about my failures…<\/p>\n
Yup, I’ve failed. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on so-called “marketing” that BOMBED<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here are a few shining examples…<\/p>\n The $11,000 Website:<\/strong><\/p>\n Back in 2005, I spent $11,000 to have a dinky little website created from the ground up. Yes, 11-freakin-thousand.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>That was deadly stupid.<\/p>\n It was supposed to take 3 weeks, it ended up taking 3 months and it was absolutely disgusting. The site never really got any traction and I had to dump it soon after.<\/p>\n Count your blessings that WordPress and almost all themes and plugins are free – and amazingly easy to use.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Dud Mailing List:<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2006, I rented a physical mailing list and sent out 2,000 postcards for one of my non-IM businesses. Total cost was around $3,000\u00a0<\/strong>for the cost of the list, printing, and mailing. It was awful.<\/p>\n The company I bought the list from was selling old addresses and it resulted in zero sales. I couldn’t get a refund and I was burnt. Hard.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Big Backlash:<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2010, I hired a big named guru consultant (the guilty will remain nameless!) to use his “proven”<\/em> marketing technique… Paid him a $2,000 advance.<\/strong><\/p>\n Turns out his “proven” formula ain’t so proven. It caused a HUGE backlash with my customers and I had to back-peddle immediately.<\/strong> Bad news.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Why am I telling you this?<\/em><\/p>\n Because every good business owner goes through these poopy times. Schtuff happens.<\/em><\/p>\n I’m telling you this because these were MAJOR<\/strong> learning lessons. Lessons that I learned the hard way so you don’t have to.<\/p>\n But with all of these expensive failures, there have been some amazing ZERO COST successes.<\/strong><\/p>\n Tomorrow, I’ll share some of my amazing ZERO COST marketing stories<\/strong> with you.<\/p>\n To your success,<\/p>\n Ronnie Nijmeh P.S.
