Ouch! This Surely Hurts – And It’s Time You Fire Your Sleazy Online Biz GURUS.

Time To Fire Your Sleazy Guru

If you want more out of your daily routine, whether you are an eBayer or not, you’ll find this advice sent to my email by Tiffany Dow very good and useful.

It will help boost your online business.

Tiffany Dow is one of the gurus you should listen to and read her blog. I’m not sure she appreciates being called a GURU, but for the purpose of this quick post, I’d like to confer her the title of GURU,  just to draw your attention to a few of the good people still left in this industry.

If you’ve never heard of her or don’t see her in your radar screen of successful online entrepreneurs, please take another look. You might be missing on a good woman with a higher integrity than most, who today, parade themselves as online marketers, earning thousands of dollars. She is not your average rah rah rah in your face kind of marketer.

She is one of my topmost marketers, a favorite among a handful of other decent people.

Tiffany Dow just recently sent an email about FIRING YOUR GURU. She listed 6 bullet points you should evaluate while pulling the trigger, figuratively speaking.

Since, I don’t like the number 6 that much, I’ve added 3 of my own to her list of what to consider in exercising the option to fire your GURU.

I prefer 8 or 9. Eight and nine are for infinity and prosperity.

Here are my addition to the list:

7. Gurus who look at you as an opportunity target,  blast and flood your inbox with daily email about what to buy and care less about you, once their objective to fleece you is met. They even call you their ATM. I call them PIGS.

8. Their products are so pricey, you’ll need to sell your soul to pay for them. Their only game plan is to make money at your expense and never to add value to your bottom line.

9. They incestuously promote one another without shame or guilt and pollute their email list without regard to privacy. I’ve long unsubscribed from most of these leeches.

Next,  are to the other 6 points to consider in your relationship with your GURU.  Read Tiffany’s blog.  She is worth every pound in GOLD.

Tiffany in her own words:

How many marketers are you subscribed to right now? I'm one, because
you got this message. You could be one of those careful and choosy
people, getting a lot out of a few great subscriptions - or you might
be someone who signs up for everything and then feels overwhelmed
because you have hundreds of emails coming from marketers.

So today you might want to end some relationships - break up with
marketers who are weighing you down. Here are my top 6 characteristics
that I use to determine if it's time to break up with a marketer:

1.) His idea of accessibility if giving you access to a contact form
where no one ever replies. This means his list is a one way conversation.

2.) He promises only 500 copies of his product will be released, but
6 months later you see he's giving it away as a viral freebie.

3.) He's always careful to include screen shots of his fat ClickBank
checks, images of his sports cars and videos of his new beachfront
mansion, yet he fails to include the small details that help you
understand ho to implement his product!

4.) You can't tell what bugs you most - the fact that every single email he
sends out is a spammy sales letter or the fact that he's promoting
a course teaching people how to write autoresponders when he doesn't
grasp the meaning of "treat your list like gold" himself.

5.) After finally agreeing to buy his product, you're hit with a one
time offer whose price lowers each of the EIGHT (not one) times you
click the "No thanks" button.

6.) He jumps on every bandwagon launch he can - even though the products
are shoddy or irrelevant to the list topic.

If you hear that little voice in your head telling you the name of
a marketer that those 6 qualities represent, unsubscribe - but do
it the RIGHT way:

They're never going to learn unless you tell them what they're doing
wrong. Keep rude remarks out of it - it immediately makes them think
YOU are the one with the problem. Be calm and tell them what you
expected on the list, what you feel you got, and how he could
improve on his performance.

Is this your responsibility? Of course not. But is it a good thing
to do? Yes!
