First of all, for those of you who don’t know me, my name is Denis Caron. I’ve been kicking around in the world of Internet Marketing now for a couple of years. I’m not a gazzillionaire, trillionaire, nor billionaire – Heck, not even a millionaire. Truthfully, I’d be very happy earning six figures, but I’m a not-yet-thaire, either.

So why am I writing this, and more to the point, why should you even bother to read it? You see, like so many others, I wanted to make a living with/at online marketing and the lifestyle that it brings. No, I’m not talking about the mouth watering, starry eyed, over hyped dream lifestyle of the “rich and lamous”. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with money. But it’s my belief that money cannot be your “soul” motivation and goal. If it is, you will lose your humanity somewhere along the way and one day awaken and wonder what happened to your morals and scruples. And remember, the bigger you get, be careful of the fact that you will see your customers less as people, and more as simply statistics – Funnels, upsells subscribers, lists, downsells, launches, adswaps, JVs…You need to define what it is that YOU want. At my age, and temperament, all I really want is to enjoy my life with my family and not have to trade my time for money anymore. Now I’m enjoying what I’m doing, and by gosh, I’m makin’ money at it too! What makes YOU happy?

Like so many others, in the early days, I spent the obligatory thousands of dollars on crappy courses, software, and such material, hoping that the next big thing would contain the answers and the path to IM enlightenment. Alas, it did not.

The next stage of my IM evolution was the “Mentor” stage. One such course with a well known marketer turned out to be simply a large group of people who paid for the “privilege” of promoting and marketing this individual to the world. This “Newbie to Riches” course left the vast majority in the dust, feeling even more confused and lost than when they started. Another Mentor course was an overpriced basic marketing course that couldn’t really delve into any details due to time constraints. And so on and so on…I later found much of the same material from other sources for free.

So why wasn’t all this stuff clicking for me? Where were my riches and my “Life’s a Beach” t-shirt?

Well, only after much soul searching did I finally discover that I was in a constant state of turmoil with myself and was probably in a self sabotaging state – because (get ready) I finally figured out that I really didn’t like the IM Info Product niche. And there was the problem…When most people start out, they begin in the IM Info Product niche. The Guru tells them that the fastest path to easy riches is to become an affiliate for all of his great products and then fortune will soon be theirs, if they promote the ever loving hell out of all the Guru’s products. So the “blind” Newbie goes forth, out into the IM world and tries to sell other “blind” Newbies on the Guru’s materials…

The purpose of this post is not a rant about IM (there’s plenty of time for that later) – So let me make a long story short…I was so disillusioned with IM Info niche, that I was close to giving up and took a long sabbatical. Then in a cathartic episode, I ended up writing an e-Book, titled, Internet Marketing-The Naked Truth, skewing and parodying everything about Internet Marketing that I’ve been involved in during the past couple of years…Ahhhh, now that felt good.

Fast forward – I’ve for the most part, left the “How to make money by selling information to people on how to make money” niche and market numerous products in various other niches. I’ve since been asked to market a provocative and controversial, non IM, e-Book that I’ll tell you about when it’s time.

So to wrap up today’s post- I’m having fun again! I no longer take the IM Info niche so seriously. I can say and do anything I want, for I need to please no one, but you and myself. The bulk of my earnings do not come from this niche. I’ve got a lot of great humorous, yet informative posts and information planned for the future here. I’m just going to tell it like it is, but not in any angry vindictive way, because that’s just spewing energy sucking negativity. Instead it’s going to be fun and light but like a laser – focused and to the point, for we’re all busy people.

One last note – Even though I haven’t “officially” launched my e-Book, you can get a free copy by clicking on the link at the top left. I’m telling ya – Click on the link just to see the sales page! I guarantee that it’s the most outrageous, over-the-top, sales page that you’ll ever see! If you like that, then you’ll love, Internet Marketing-The Naked Truth. The purpose of the e-Book is to give you great, valuable information, along with hints and secrets, that perhaps you wouldn’t easily find on your own, but yet told in a down to earth, side splitting manner. No one has EVER written a book like this before.

Enjoy.
Denis

PS I’ve even changed the whole theme of my blog to now reflect my new take on Internet Marketing- It’s now consistent with the e-Book. And that’s how I roll…
