Does Driving Traffic Equal Having A Business

Here is the last comment I left on Facebook concerning the discussion
revolving around the video:

Folks

As I get ready to go eat some shrimp and watch a movie.

I want to make something clear See More

My marketplace is small home business owners.

These are the people I am addressing.

Not big internet marketers who are a whole different marketplace all together and I would not dare to pretend to advise those who have waled before me and who are more successful than me

In factI would sit at their feet and lap up their words and experience

So let me be sure that you know that I am talking to and about MY marketplace and no other.

Moms, part timers, people who want to earn up to a quarter million from the comfort from your home with MINIMAL help and overhead

If you arelooking for something other than that

My commentary is not suited to you.

But for those of you that are still interested.

The point of my video (if you didnt catch it)

Is that for a small home business owner/network marketer

Driving traffic for the sake of driving traffic with inauthentic content can be the downfall of a good person.

I last watched it several years ago with the video marketing rage.

Almost everyone who was regarded as a BIG FISH during that stage and who was driving traffic with the Is __________a scam campaigns is GONE now.

Almost everyone who thought they had found the golden ticket to recruiting but who did not have the basic fundamentals wiped outlost all the momentum they had and in fact lost their list, their reputation and in many cases their whole income.

So when I see it going on again,..,.I am OBLIGATED to say something.

All this stuff is SEXY

Its exciting to see you Alexa rank jump.

Its exciting to have your phone ring.

But what happens in 6 months to a year when it STOPS

And it will.

I PROMISE YOU

I have seen heartache and destruction.

I have watched people quit thier jobs SURE that they had figured it outputting their families at risk

I have seen grown men SUICIDAL as they watched it all disappear.

And this was my public service announcement.

Do as you will

And me.

I am going to watch a movieso no skin off my nose.

Im about to get off my soapbox cause a nice chardonnay is waiting for me

But PLEASE remember

You CAN NOT beat universal law.

Have a great weekend and I love you all.

Diane

Love to hear YOUR thoughts.

Diane your comments on this video are dead on...especially in the light of an email that went out to all of the folks on Ferny Ceballos' and Ray Fong's SEO Networker list...had to do with tons of traffic with no conversions... Time for folks to wake up !! High Value...High Content...SERVE FIRST...Build Relationships...and then when the time is right... EXACTLY what you teach...

Great video Diane. You kind of remind me about what Mike D. said about Twitter. It doesn't matter who is "following" you or "friending" you on Twitter, Facebook, or Youtube. It only matters if they are listening and they are only listening if you are giving value-added content...like you offer Diane.

Sure the truth will make some people angry, Diane, but it needs to be put out there!

great video Diane

Nothing is a be all or end all. Traffic is nothing without signups and relationships. Well said.
