Horse Head in Your Bed? | Angie Mitchell | 12 Second Commute

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Something happened to me today and I just can’t make myself feel better about the situation. For those of you in 12 Second Commute or for anybody involved with Internet Marketing for that matter, I want you to know that things like this do happen and will continue to happen as long as there is life.

Disappointments.

The reason I’m so upset about what I’m about to tell you is because it has never happened to me before until sometime last night. I like to think that I’m a different kind of internet marketer, actually I don’t like to think of myself as an Internet Marketer because for me it has a bit of a negative connotation, it makes me think of a person who is trying to sell something, someone who has dollar signs in their eyes.

Although I’m in business to make money, I don’t want to “sell” to people, I want to help enhance their business and in turn enhance their life.

I will tell you this, there is no better feeling in the world than knowing that I played some small part in helping someone else attain success no matter how small or large that success becomes.

I have done everything in my power to help or direct the people on my 12 Second Commute team and I see us all as equals, we all want the same things, we are all just at different points in the “game” and as long as we are moving forward at a slow and steady pace, I know we will win the race.

I’m rambling.

I could go on and on…

But I want to warn you in advance if you ever join my 12 Second Commute team, I won’t call it a “downline” because that’s negative to me as well, if you are ever on my team, I’m going to be the biggest pain in the ass sponsor you will ever have because I want you to succeed. Even if you give up on yourself, I won’t!

Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, the very first person to join my 12 Second Commute team QUIT! I have turned myself inside out, upside down and backwards to reach out. It started off so well, then turned into nothing at all. But I kept trying and giving… leaving her to her business but letting her know I was still there.

I got nothing in return. Sure she had a good following of her own, they are also on my team but that’s not the point.

I lost one.

For me, it doesn’t mater who’s team you’re on, if I can help I will.

My good friend Jim Roche has always told me “don’t get too high and don’t get too low” I guess I feel this way because I care so much. I feel as though I have failed. I prided myself knowing that not a single person that has joined me has left… until today.

I know the old saying goes “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make em drink” well I’m sure as hell going to try! (The image I have in my head is arms and legs wrapped around the horse neck while hanging over a puddle of water trying desperately to get his head down.)

You are not invited to my pity party, the bar is closed… time to go home.

I love Art Williams and needed a little motivation and so might you.

Here is Art’s 2 part video.

Choosing Email Marketing Tools | Angie Mitchell | 12 Second Commute

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Let me tell you, I was searching the internet today looking for “email marketing tools,” I was doing a little comparison shopping and holy cow!

When selecting an email marketing provider, price is always a factor in the decision-making process, cool… I understand that.

As soon as I found this company (I’ll leave unnamed) I had to write a blog post to warn the new comers to the online marketing world.

I just found a company that “offers GREATER VALUE and a greater variety of pricing packages than any other service on the market today.”

This one service in particular I found is asking $159.90/mth for you to be able to send out 100,000 emails a month. They gotta be kidding right? I mean seriously?

See, that’s what makes me so pissed off! Everybody has the best value and the best pricing… Don’t get me wrong, I think having options is great but seriously $159.90/mth for an autoresponder with limitations?

And their bare bones plan which allows you to send out 2,000 emails a month was $19.90/mth and an additional $5.00 for an additional 1000 if you went over your allowed 2,000.

As far as I’m concerned the company that provides me with my autoresponder service (12 Second Commute) has “given the farm away” with the promotion going on now, unlimited complete set of online and email marketing tools for $19/mth. (summer time special offer) You can’t beat that bargain, plus up to 60% commission… I’m staying!

Do your research, shop around and watch for rip offs when you’re looking for email marketing tools.

Angie Mitchell Rants About Unnamed Big Shot Guru | Email Autoresponders

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

I can’t tell you how many email autoresponders I get from these so called Guru’s. When I was first starting out online I gorged myself with what they were selling, teaching, and advising me how to grow with my online business.

Hook, line and sinker… I was sold. I actually thought they cared and were going to help me. They only wanted my money and my share of the wad that lined their pockets.

I received countless email autoresponders from this one “guru” (very well known to internet marketing) and he started of so positive and encouraging but after getting about the fourth message about one particular product he was pushing, it started getting a bit nasty.

Granted, (before knowing any better) I did buy some of his fluff in the past. I can guarantee you I will never purchase anything from this money grubbing crook again! What a royal jerk! I’d like to share with you the last email autoresponder I got from him.

And to avoid getting myself in trouble, I’ll leave out his Name and his latest and greatest product he was trying to get me to purchase that was “going to change my life!”

No More Excuses Angie… I’m Calling Your Bluff.

After doing quite a bit of thinking this morning, I’ve decided that your in-action isn’t acceptable this time Angie.

You subscribed to this list because you said you wanted to build a successful business, and because you wanted my help.

So I spent months putting together “___________” for you… A breakthrough way for you to literally peak inside the businesses of the best marketers in our industry, to see what’s working best for them right now…

Basically giving you what I would have killed for when I was starting out…

A one-stop-shop for the training you need, at a fraction of the cost you’d have to pay somewhere else.

But the simple fact of the matter, is that you haven’t signed up yet.

So personally, I feel that if you aren’t willing to pony up $10 to get access to this kind of insider info from the people literally making 7 and 8 figures in this industry, then you should just get off my list.

Seriously.

I’m not saying that to be mean, but I can’t help you if you’re not willing to help yourself, so there’s really no point in you being here.

I don’t have the time or patience for people who say they want one thing, and then do another.

Especially when I’m willing to LOSE MONEY just to let you try something out that I know will help you.

Yes… I LOSE MONEY, on every single __________ I’m shipping to people, because I wanted to over-deliver, and provide you with a new standard of value.

So pardon me, but I’m calling your bluff, because in-action is not allowed this time.

It’s simple…

1: You get to try _____ and keep the ________ it comes on for $9.95.

2: If you get more value than you paid from it: You Win.

3: If you get less value than you paid, you get a refund, which means: You Win.

No matter what happens, you win, which means I’m calling your bluff.

You have two choices…

Join  ________ - today - because I know it will help you, or kindly remove yourself from my list.

Here’s the sign-up link, or you can find the unsubscribe link is at the bottom of this email.

The choice is yours, but it’s TIME TO GET OFF THE FENCE AND MAKE THE CHOICE.  It’s your life, not mine, so either way is fine by me.

I’m off to Denver, and I’ll see the LEADERS on the other side.

Accepting no excuses,

(signature)

Reading his letter again, makes my blood boil!

Yep you’re right, It is my life and it is my $10 that you are not going to get.

Does this guy actually think sending me autoresponder messages like this is going to make me want to buy his suff? The bully tactic doesn’t work with me XXXX XXXXXXX.

That’s all you ever give is “peaks inside!” Some of us are sick of being hand fed (just enough) to keep us wanting more… just put the damn meat and potatoes down and walk away!

If There was ever a way to actually speak to this jerk or have him (not “his people,”) actually read an email from me, I’d say… GO POUND SALT! I’ve lined your bank account enough, and the things I’ve purchased from you were filled with FLUFF! And your videos offer nothing! You prey on the newcomers who are trying to make it online. I’ll give you this much, you know how to talk the talk!

I’d be more than happy to unsubscribe to your crap, infact… it would be the smartest decision I’ve made yet! On second thought, I’ll stay, your nasty email autoresponders make for good material.

I’ll be avoiding him like the plague and I’ll be using his material as fire starter next winter.

Choose your Guru wisely.

OK, That’s my rant.
