Hey there Tucu lovers,

When Andy posted this in a Linked In Group we belong to, we had to ask his permission to repost it here on the blog for all of you.  These self proclaimed gurus advertise hard, and small business owners give up their hard earned money to these people when they truly don’t have the right credentials, experience or depth of marketing knowledge to do them any real service.

Be smart.  Be savvy. Dig a little deeper when hiring someone to help you with your marketing service.  For SEO basics, we can help.  For hard hitting SEO success, we recommend The Search Engine People, based out of Ajax Ontario.  THey are a profit 100 company and one of Canada’s finest when it comes to SEO.

Sincerely,
Team Tucu

Step Aside, Internet Marketing Expert Coming Through

I have to plead ignorance. With my 30+ years of a business background, considered by some to be somewhat of a marketing specialist, I never realized that our marketing industry has managed to capture so many internet marketing experts. Wow. What a tremendous feat accomplished in such a short time.

Imagine how impressed any prospective account would be to see Internet Marketing Genius after your name. And, as part of your pitch to him/her you might casually drop the line that he/she could also be considered an Internet Marketing Genius just by becoming your customer. Didn’t you know that the marketing expertness was highly contagious and transmitted that way. Why someone never infected me when I started my marketing journey over three decades ago is beyond me.

I had the pleasure of chatting with one of these Internet Marketing Gurus recently. Not to shortchange him, his full title was Network Marketing Internet Marketing Expert. His email to me reeked of “I’m a network marketing newbie”. Turns out this Network Marketing Internet Mastermind was going to show me how to make a monthly six figure income. Like in $100,000 or more, I asked. He said that it sure was doable. I pressed on, so your monthly earnings are in the six figure plus range. His response, I’m on my way. (He was well trained.) Okay, I had to ask this one, how long have you been a rep with the company? Three weeks was the answer. Interesting…my network marketing Internet Marketing Guru must have been a rapid learner to achieve such a vaulted position as an expert internet marketer in only three weeks.

Funny thing is, I bet he will attract some people into his group not based upon his knowledge of the internet or his truthfulness but his moxie. And, of course, his appeal to a person’s sense of greed and laziness: I want to make six figures a month just as fast as he did.

Can you relate to this?

If you currently use the term Internet Marketing Expert, I really don’t mean to offend you. You very well may be. However, with so many brand spankin’ new entrants crowning themselves into Expert-hood, the word has lost its luster not just with me but with the many people seeking a legitimate online marketer to do business with: your potential customers.
Using words like internet marketing coach or consultant projects how you can assist a customer with a term that is more at the level they feel that they can relate to. Trying to fill those Internet Marketing Big Kahuna shoes is way beyond most of our shoe sizes.
