Procrastination is every marketers worst nightmare.
This applies on three fronts.
Firstly how many times have we waited to see howa company or product sells before joining?
There is a very fine line between researching the backgroundhistory of a company before joining and should I join or not!
By carried out proper research we should then be able to makean informed decision.
Sounds easy, but?
In real life we are swayed by so many outside influencesIncluding deceptive marketing practices.
Examples.
1. You have seen the company or product a number of times.The website, the sales copy, emails etc, that you believe theAdvertising, sales copy and make the decision. Remember ifpersistent sales copy can sway your decision, then it canwork in your favor too?
That is why autoresponders are an essential tool of marketers.They allow you to automate and personalize your follow upemails to your prospective and existing customers.

2. We can be swayed by "HYPE" or by over imaginativeand misleading advertising.
3. When we are presented with a product or service by a respected marketer or company. We can easily be coned or fooled into believingwhat ever we are told. There are new products released every day that have not had the proper testing or are inferior but because wetrust the company or marketer we do not necessarily give the producta good check out before purchasing.
i.e. Buyer beware!
4. Package marketing. This is often used when marketing a product, the manufacturer will use enhanced colors and a large box with asmall product inside. In this case you are lead to believe the productis larger than it is or in some cases a person or child is used who hassmall hands to promote a product.
A chocolate bar in a child's hand always looks larger untilyou buy one and it is gone in two or three quick bites.
This type of advertising is not new, Mark Twainsaid this over 100 years ago.
"Many a small thing has been made largeby the right kind of advertising".Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Then the second type of procrastination is when your customers,downline or other prospects sit on the fence before making adecision to either make a purchase from your or to join yourdownline.
The last type of procrastination is when your downline sit andwait for your leadership and for you to ?
My advice is not to rely on others but to learn and makedecisions based on your own observations, but if youget stuck, do ask for help.
Internet Marketing is not all roses and is not so easy tomake a fortune. Like any business there are a number ofskills required. Some skills you can learn while othersit may be best to either employ an expert or seek help.
3 and a half years a go I didn't know what html was, butI have learned by trial and error the basic html functionsand now I have built quite a number of websites.
I can even say I have helped and guided others withcreating their own websites.
There is no way that I could have afforded to hire a webmaster.For a while I procrastinated. But once I built my first websiteand boy was it a mess when I look back at it today.
But I had taken the first step in learning.
Many people, marketers included try to get by with the knowledgethey currently have, but that is exactly what we will achieve.We will only ever get by!
Most every task we do in life is learned.
Instead of Procrastination and Deceptive Marketing,your goal should be to get your prospects to makea positive decision from honest and informative adverting.
Deceptive marketing is likely to come back and bite you!
It is far better to have tried and failed,than not to have tried at all.
May your Website be Profitable.
