Aravindh here, with the best rhetorical question anyone has ever
asked me.
But before I tell you what it is, here’s why it changed my life:
it made me question my own assumptions about what “real” Internet
Marketing is, and what it simply could not possibly be.
That rhetorical question was, “are you doing enough?”
The reason I love this question is because I ask it of myself every
once in a while.
As I compare things that I am doing, to things that my industry
partners and competitors are doing..
..I quickly realized a problem that we all share: we all think too
much about not doing enough, while comparing ourselves to people
who think the same thing.
When we try to match up to some “guru,” some self-proclaimed expert
with a mansion and a stake in some country’s currency, we are
building up an ideal image.
Just like women who compare their looks to the idealistic beauty in
magazines, movies, and TV shows. Or men, competing in a silent war
on who has better clothes, hotter cars, or sexier girlfriends.
It’s awful!
- Damn the idealized image of that “champion” marketer; he/she doesn’t
exist!
- Forget the “perfect” business – you will never know what your dream
will look like, until you build it!
- Stop comparing yourself to a non-existent, irrelevant image (that may
or may not actually be attainable)!
My buddy, Jeremy Schoemaker from shoemoney.com has a #1 bestseller on
Amazon, and he is here to share something SUPER urgent.
It’s called the Pareto Principle, and it says that 80% of all Internet
Marketing profits are made by just 20% of all Internet Marketers.
Jeremy is famous. Like, super-famous.
He was rated the Most influential person on the internet by the Fast
Company Magazine..
==> Check out this picture of him posing on the Magazine's Cover!
Everyone knows this guy.
His main blog - http://www.shoemoney.com gets a whopping 30k visitors a day!
With over 165,938 Twitter followers, 21,000 Facebook fans and his Amazon
Bestseller status - he is definitely an icon of the internet.
Don't Believe me??

You might be wondering how he got so famous..
Well - he got a call from Google one day asking him to test out their
new "Google Adsense" scheme back in 2003.
The guy is a PRO at SEO and has blogs which get hundreds of thousands of
visitors each and everyday..
So he implements adsense on his websites - waits and then gets this
cheque..

And then the image which you just saw went viral all over the internet
making him one of the biggest internet sensations!
Jeremy is a bit of a celebrity in the IM circles, but neither him, nor
his partners (like myself) have ever really seen it that way.
So why am I sharing Jeremy’s story with you?
Because he is talking about this “big boys” scam that I am talking about.
About how these perfect, idealized gurus have a foolproof way to get rich
overnight.
If you haven’t woken up yet, now’s a good time: those are lies, and they
are fake!
All he needs you to do is one thing: follow his formula.
Not so long ago, Jeremy weighed 420 pounds, and he had over $50,000 in
bills, owed to a bunch of banks.
If he could get off his lazy ass and make over a million bucks a year – let alone
reveal to you his step-by-step procedures – then why wouldn’t YOU be
able to stick through his program?
Right now, Jeremy and I are KILLING it online (and in the consulting
market, but more on that in tomorrow’s email..).
But just a few years ago, Jeremy could not even dream of any of the following:
- Being invited to study Google’s research products before anyone else
had access to them!
- Launching a 10 million-bucks-a-year superbusiness, that plays by HIS rules!
And ofcourse..
- Quitting smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day, and losing over 100 lbs,
to become healthy!
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s update, when we dive more into Jeremy’s contribution
to the IM game!
