If it Works, Dont Tell Anyone, Or Just Not Yet
Oct 22nd, 2007 by Nick
Lets say you somehow discover a great offer and a great means of getting it to convert…What is the first thing you want to do? You want to go to every forum and site and brag about how you are raking in the dough right? Of course you do, you are proud of yourself and you want to show everyone what you have accomplished. However, that is probably not the best idea. Why? because everyone will want to dip their hand in the cookie jar too. As soon as you hit the submit thread button there will be no less than 20 people asking the exact same question, “How did you do it? Share tips please”. You must resist the urge to brag, or at least for the moment.
Do what I do in a situation like that, instead of talking to people who know the business, tell someone who knows nothing about it. Sure, you will find yourself explaining everything over and over and in they end they still wont know what you are talking about, but that is good. You get your fix from being able to talk and brag about it and you dont have to worry about them duplicating your idea, which means cutting your profits because of saturation in the market.
After your offer no longer converts as well as it once did and you have moved on to new offers, then it would be fine to tell people about you scheme and how you did it.
This is true 100%. A lot of people claim to make hundreds a month and want to sell their e-book for $2 a pop. After a while, the market becomes to saturated that the first person to do it is no longer making any money!
Think about it: lets say your method makes $200/month. Sell the e-book to 100 people, and make a quick $200. After a month or two, you probably will be making a LOT less since they probably sold the method as well and now it’s time to move on to another discovery!
Great post!
