Perfection and Discusion

I am one of those people that would probably never get anything done building my business online because it's not quite perfect yet. This is a big mistake!!! I have learned in the last 6 months or so, that it is better to publish or post something that is crappy and then start to improve it, then it is to keep putting off publishing or posting it at all.

The bottom line is that no post, no response. Posted, even if bad, has a chance of some response. If you saw my first squeeze page, you would laugh out loud. As bad as it was, I got my first 10 people on my list with it. It had a .05% conversion rate. Hey, when I got that to 1%, I was ecstatic...lol

Now to go in a different direction before I present some material to all of you that I would really like some feedback on.

One of the things that I see on different forums a lot is people making posts trying to start some type of dialog. They will complain that the majority of posts are just people trying to build links back to their website to improve their search engine optimization. (Not a bad Idea by the way)

OK, now to my main point. Last night I started a brain storm session trying to write copy for a new sales letter that I want to write to get more subscribers for my ezine. (That is what this is by the way) So, what I want to do is combine these two things, not wait for perfection, and open this up for discussion. So, what I am going to do is add everything that I dumped out on paper (figure of speech) and paste it below and on my blog at http://daniverson.blogspot.com/ and I would love to hear your feed back. I am getting many new subscriber everyday, and soon I will be sharing with all of you how you can do that too, not to mention why and how important it is that you do that. But, until then, I want to really start to open up some dialog.

I am going to start by saying that I have started this new list and ezine a little over 3 weeks ago. I have just broken 100 subscribers on my list and I have had 6 people who have joined me in 3 to 6 of the business ventures that I am working with. I don't know about you, but I think we are all in the right place.

Second, I have been really trying to think about what you need, and why more people don't make money on line. So below, I started with these Ideas, and I want you to go to my blog and make comments, share ideas, and experiences, let me know what this info makes you think or do...OK, ready....

By now, I have my PhD in Internet Marketing, why can't I make any money?

You may think that's funny, but I have the debt and stacks of course work to prove it.

Sound familiar?

What's holding you back? What is the #1 reason keeping you from making money on line?

Resources
I don't have enough money to start a business and market it.
I don't have a lot of time; it is moving forward very slow.
I don't have a computer of my own.

Knowledge
I don't understand most to the terms much less how to use them.
Focus, where do I start?
I am going in 100 different directions; I don't know what to focus on.
I don't have anything to sell.

Faith
I don't believe it's possible, I think there all scams.
Determination
My wife won't let me.
I have already lost way too much money.

Fear
I don't want people to think I am a sucker for trying to make money online.
What if I fail, I'll look and feel stupid.

Unrealistic or Magic Pill
I didn't think it was going to be that hard. It looked and they said it was so easy.
I have been doing this 3 months, I can't believe I am not making $10,000 per month yet. Heck, I not making $10 per month
I really thought after I bought that last course, I was going big.

Procrastination
I'll start after Grays Anatomy, I have plenty of time.

Excuses
If only I could have started 2 years ago. It's too late, AdWords have gotten too expensive. All the good Ideas are taken.
I can't find a company that sells decent leads.

Credibility
I don't have any credibility. Why would anyone listen to me?
Don't have anything to offer
I am not very smart, I am kind of lazy, I don't baath very often, I haven't seen my toes in 6 year, but I did read the inside jacket of a book at the Salvation Army about Internet marketing once. OK, OK, I read most of it.

Bad Reputation
Ever since I stole that money from money form that 97 year old widow in that wheel chair, no one wants to do business with me.

Discipline
I have about 67 websites started, 12 blogs that I haven't posted anything on for about a year, I have about 3 sales letter almost finished.
Faith = what keeps people going? I am an optimist, I just keep plugging away. I know it will happen someday.

Integrity

Patience

Interpersonal skills

Adaptable

Resourceful

Intuition

Measure and track

What are all the things you have to have an understanding of?
Google, AdWords, Html, blogs, social networking,


I know, I know, pretty crazy. So, what do you think. This ezine is only going to get better if the whole comunity starts to pull their own weight. So Let's see what you've got. Post some comments idea, hate mail, I don't care. I just want some feed back.
