			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Especially those who are new to internet world, information overload will occur. During this time, you will not be productive and you will not be able to create any contents at all. Sometimes you will feel scared to actually write anything, intimidated, even stressed out. I have been through this stage before and it sucks!! Watch out for the symptoms.</p>
<h3>The Most Common Symptoms</h3>
<ol>
<li>Feeling as if you know only a fraction on your topic.</li>
<li>Constantly researching new lessons and information but never apply them.</li>
<li>Afraid that your <span id="more-355"></span>work will be mocked after seeing all the better work out there.</li>
<li>Feeling lost with all the information</li>
<li>Do not know where and how to even start</li>
</ol>
<h3>How to Overcome Them</h3>
<p>The first you have to do is to start focusing. It is true that there are too many things that you will need to do, but you have to be able to decide. Which one is your main target at the given moment, and focus on doing only that. For example, you decided to promote an item from clickbank; spend at least 1 week to solely focus on promoting it. Do not even try to promote any other things or look into any other opportunities, you will only get more input which will confuse you further.</p>
<p>The next best thing to do is to get yourself a mentor or enroll in a mentoring program which has a step-by-step approach to do just what you are trying to do. This action will not only boost your productivity but also your self-assurance that what you are doing is right.</p>
<p>Third and the best piece of advice that I receive from my friend was "Just do what you want to do. Do not think about what others might say, just do it the way you like it!!".</p>
<p>It is all about focus, guidance and self confident. Any better ways to overcome information overload? Fill me with your opinions in the comment section. Cheers <img src='http://www.seoandaffiliates.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter what we do, at one point, we would realize that going alone and not trying to learn will get us stuck... This was what happened to me during my first few weeks trying to make sense out of internet business. I was so confident that I can make it. Along with all the promises of "get rich quick, get rich easy with internet money", I was drawn deeper to a black hole. I wasted some 4 to 6 hours daily just trying to make sense out of internet marketing.</p>
<p>After a while, I only realized that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get anywhere without proper direction. I was basically following every famous person with no clear clue <span id="more-328"></span>of what I was doing. I was trying my best not to get lost. Not only I was overloaded with information, all these infromation are not structured as well and there is no way I can make sense out of fractions of information that is available out there.</p>
<p>Then it dawned on me after three full months of trying to do worthless things. I have just realized that I have to focus on what I am doing to actually get somewhere. This is where MENTORING takes turn. Although I did not make money at that time, I was finally able to get TRAFFIC. You would know by now that traffic is vital to any websites survival.</p>
<p>That is the first time ever that I was willing to part away with my hard-earned money for membership site. Everything started to make sense after I have a mentor. Mentoring does not always have to be a conference call or 1-to-1 tutoring though, it could be as simple as an organized and focused materials that guides us step-by-step in trying to achieve what we want.</p>
<p>Do yourself a favour, get a mentor for yourself. Find the one with teachings suitable to your beliefs. Do not jump on 2 or 3 mentors with different believes and teachings, pick one and stick with em. Have fun studying folks! <img src='http://www.seoandaffiliates.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

		<description><![CDATA[A question for marketer on aggressiveness of the marketing ways. <a href="http://www.seoandaffiliates.com/general-ramblings/marketing-should-i-be-aggressive/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a customer once, I have seen a lot of aggressive marketers out there. Basically, the products are shoved under your nose and nudged you to buy them. For a while now, I hated this way of marketing, especially coupled with the terms "time is running out" and "2 more hours to go before this offer ends" and what happened, 3 days later, these product is still on the shelf and running the same advert "2 more hours to go".</p>
<p>True that this will invoke customers urgency and true that some of these product really ARE going offline in 2 hours time. But after getting used to these kind of advertisement, customer will think<span id="more-145"></span> "At, this is just another tingle-your-urgency-senses kind of marketing" and the next thing they know, BAM, the product is just not there anymore. Because of this, they might just missed a really good product or coaching program that are seriously closing it's door in 2 hours time or 2 days time all thanks to the great marketer.</p>
<p>This happened to me previously, but considering the mails I received on these various product; at one point, I just ignore this timed offering to see other similar products. When I was sure and decided to actually buy that timed product, turns out it WAS really timed. That point onwards, I started to keep track of which marketer to trust and which not and thus leads me to the question.</p>
<h3>The big question</h3>
<p>Yes, you just want to sell the products, but then more and more people are getting sick of this approach (considering my own experience). This is especially true if you are doing this in almost all of the products being sold. So, do you really need to be this aggressive (or let's say threatening)? Are you increasing your sells or just driving your customer away? For me, once in a while (as in 1 every 10 products) this is okay, since there are some truly time sensitive products, how about you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This amazing thing happened while I was looking for a desktop publishing software earlier on. Maybe some of you have already seen this before... well for me it is the first time that all the results in google show "This site may harm your computer". Take a look at the screenshot <span id="more-77"></span> below:</p>
<div id="attachment_83" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 444px"><img class="size-full wp-image-83" title="&quot;This site may harm your computer&quot; screen shot" src="http://www.seoandaffiliates.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/google-this-site-may-harm-your-computer.png" alt="Google this site may harm your computer" width="434" height="327" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Google this site may harm your computer</p></div>
<p>Kinda amazing for me haha, all the search results are redirected to google's page for stopping malware...even WORDPRESS.COM, CNET and WIKIPEDIA <img src='http://www.seoandaffiliates.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Kinda fun to see it one time, hope this does not happen often. Kinda lost without google, since nowadays if I stumble into any problem, first thing that come into my mind would be "GOOGLE IT!!" haha</p>
