This post is dedicated to one of Randy Smith’s first principles and is meant as a timely word to the wise – most of us will know that this time of year can be crammed with product launches, all clamoring for buyers and attention!!
Use what you buy, or you’ve wasted your time AND money!!
I interrupted what I was doing this morning to check into a Forum I enjoy, but having done so I just had to comment there to emphasize how “spot on” Randy’s advice was, AGAIN. This is the gist of what I said:
I have spent some time recently looking on in amazement, seeing what some marketers are doing with material that I already had resellers rights to – but hadn’t yet used!!!
Isn’t it the same old story with which Randy bashes me over the head …..
Don’t buy anything On-Line unless you can, AND WILL, use it in the very near future!
I’ve bought into both Aaron Dankers Platinum Resell Rights and Michael Cobb’s Lazy Internet Profits System just to see first hand in detail what they have done with material that was already available to me.
Ok, I needed to change my Graphics as they have done (Aaron seems particularly adept at this) and change the Product Names to my own, then set up a site from which to sell either….. but that is an obvious requirement known to all of us who purchase something we want to sell on.
I’m still going through the detail of Michael Cobb’s material first as it seems to be based entirely on the Ewen Chia offers (which most of us will probably have seen in the mass “hysteria” surrounding his Book Launch).
Michael is even offering to supply YOUR customers with the downloads …. a very time saving device for you, but from which, no doubt, he also gains your customers onto a list of his own!?
However, the Aaron Danker program is maybe even more relevant to Randy’s advice as I believe it is merely an adaption of material contained in one of the More Monthly Downloads that Randy Smith provides free to all his Members!! So any of us could have used it in a similar way!!
I don’t know how successful either of these marketers is finding their Internet Marketing campaigns, but I know there are Searches and Tools available from which we could get a good idea of traffic (if not conversions).
It has been worth the outlay to me (very small actually) just as a wake-up call, and a useful little training method to show myself just what can be done once someone (and it SHOULD have been me) decides to Just Do It!!
Sorry to sound so repetitive to those that know me – but Randy Smith was right – TAKE ACTION or just waste time and money!!
Ok, Ok, you can stop forming a queue – I’m going to kick myself up the proverbial so I don’t need help with that.
Over to you all, I’m sure you are busy with your own projects, but don’t do as I did so many times in the past and jump on a shiny new band wagon which you then leave unused when you jump onto the next one that comes along!!
The only way to achieve real success with a Business is to make a plan, get cracking with the action, and re-assess the plan at regular intervals. No action – no success!!! And IGNORE all the other hype that floats around until you have ongoing success with your first project. If you don’t do that then you’re still just enjoying a Hobby and NOT building a Business!

Hi John,
Isn’t it amazing that there is so much attention on the Law of Attraction and the last six letters of that phrase is “action.”
There is no doubt that we must take “action” as it is the power behind the Law of Attraction. And, nobody knows that better than Randy.
Thanks for the reminder not to purchase what we won’t use and to “Just do it” when we do!

Hi John,
Good tip, everybody must use what they buy, or better still stop buying.
There arent many things that people need to buy to succeed, probably just a domain, hosting and an autoresponder.
Thanks

Hi John
I unsubcribed from some mailing lists that I was on to avoid the temptation of buying products that I don’t need.
Now, I only buy products when I need them and not for when I think one day they may come in handy.
Thank’s for the good tips and keep the posts coming.
