You pointed out probably the worst mistake any marketer, or company for that matter, can make:

Having a fantastic (or so you think) product that nobody will buy.

Unlike the old saying ‘if you build it, they will come’, if you don’t have a product that people are willing to take their wallets out and buy, you will fail, and fail fast.

Your info is of great use for everyone who is thinking about using the internet to generate income.

Keep up the good work.

Hail turtles!

Ron

It truly is important to give our audience what they want, especially at first. Once a marketer has a strong following and has demonstrated proficiency in the field, then they can introduce new items their audience isn't aware of and show them why they need it. At that point, failing to educate their followers and help them move forward into new areas makes them an order-taker, not a marketer - and we both know there are too many order-takers masquerading as marketers in this biz! <abbr><em>Captain Affiliate´s last blog post..<a href="http://captain-affiliate.com/affiliate-marketing/affiliate-marketing-how-to-beat-the-competition/">Affiliate Marketing - How To Beat The Competition</a></em></abbr><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('308','Captain Affiliate'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('308','Captain Affiliate','Another great turtle post, Mike!
