Okay- so after months of trying to figure out how to start a company in marketing, we have realized something.
We HATE spamming. We HATE feeling like we are adding to the NOISE of the world, without adding quality.
We've all felt it as we listen to the radio, drive, or cruise the internet. ENDLESS Pop-ups, redirects, ploys, and being marketed to. In all honesty, we are really fed up, and tired of being Market TO!
When we were just marketing, to market, we felt a bit scammy. Even though EVERYTHING we offer is legit, and we actually do endorse and believe in Wealthy Affiliate University, it's hard to get the word out, when you are competing with low morals, spam built, automated, money driven companies who only want to pry the dollar from your hands, and leave you worse for the experience.
We're tired of it, and we want NO PART OF IT!
So- now the question- How to start a company online- and not resort to spamming and really backhanded feeling techniques?
First-
We've taken time out from marketing, to clear our heads and live our lives, without feeling like ONE OF THEM. (even though we knew we weren't--- the noise really got to us.) We were tired of trying to figure out HOW to start a company online, and compete with SO MANY scammers out there. We needed a break- so we took it.
Then, we found some good advice- Today during coffee-
A conversation today about self employment turned into a debate between the difference between the image of an opportunist, and a marketer who feels like a con artist.
The question was- how to start a company with the RIGHT frame of mind? How do you become an opportunist and leave the "get rich mentality behind?"
First- we must define it, and change perspective- if necessary.
When I hear opportunist, I automatically linked it with capitalistic, bureaucratic, immoral "car salesman" marketing. Someone I didn't trust, and didn't want to be. He explained however, that in any self-employment, one must see a need, fill it, and do it with integrity. Let the customer seek you out, and offer you money- don't force them.
A true opportunist realizes a need, and works to be more than mediocre. Let's face it, any person in any line of work, who is mediocre, quickly becomes obsolete. Replaced by 10 others just like them, or better.
SO- the question remains. How does one become an opportunist? How to start a company without Spamming?
The difference and answer is really simple...
STOP trying to PRY OPEN wallets to fill your own.
If you fill a need- and do it sincerely, eventually people will OFFER YOU THEIR MONEY, Because they WANT what you are OFFERING, and will SEEK YOU OUT.
I"m fed up with "Get rich quick" and "How to start a company" campaigns, that only teach me to add to the already cacophony of sound and advertising in the world.
I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of being TOLD what I want, and what I should buy. What will make me successful and rich, and what will make me happy.
COME ON! I have more intelligence than that. I KNOW what I want-
I UNDERSTAND what makes me happy-
and I BELIVE that combining those two things, WILL eventually make my finances secure... without selling my soul to the Spam Disease.
So - The answer to the "How to start a company without spamming" question-
Simply- find a need, fill it with integrity, and have patience. Be an opportunist, not a parasite.
Don't LOWER YOUR STANDARDS to Sell something to someone- OFFER them something that enhances their life... make the information available- don't invade their world and wallet to fill your own.
