While I was reading the post it occurred to me that the guy you were talking to is in MLM! Think about it, online mall, word of mouth advertising, going around telling everyone at the party about it, $300/month after a freakin' year! LOL I sure he's in Quitar or something like that, those guys don't know the first think about online marketing, and their brainwash with all this bullshit that "online marketing really doesn't work"! Sincerely, Amit Hi Tom,

I sure he’s in Quitar or something like that, those guys don’t know the first think about online marketing, and their brainwash with all this bullshit that “online marketing really doesn’t work”!

I love how he apparently thinks he just needs to have plenty of time to automatically take that $300 a month to full time money. Great story.

Word of mouth/viral marketing is very effective in certain situtations. The problem with this guy was his overall prejudging attitude towards other ways to market that would REALLY grow his business. You have an online mall but don't want to market to potential customers online? The fact that he told me advertisers on Google, etc. are spammers and porn peddlers shows he's either justifying his lack of understanding (or success) with online marketing, or defending "his" way. Comfort zone anyone? He didn't even ask me a single question when I told him what I did. He was too busy shooting down everything I brought up and "schooling" me on how to make $300 a month annoying guests at a party :) Andrew,

There are different models of traffic gen though, beyond PPC. I've been doing social-based marketing, and it can be as powerful or more powerful than PPC in some cases. What this guy did though seems to be wholly offline word of mouth marketing... Maybe someone should send him a case study on the blair witch project or tim ferris' 4hour workweek, which were both marketed at no or low cost via word-of-mouth/viral marketing alone... Thomas,

He has all the answers but not $$$. What's worse is the guy didn't think to ask how you were doing in you biz, to see if he could possibly learn from you, network, etc. What’s dumb is the guy is making $300 per month and he thinks he knows it all.

I hired him to do programming... what a bust! He had so much knowledge but no common sense or an open mind... I would have partnered with him.. he had the world in his lap but was too stupid and stubborn to realize it. He wanted to design content management systems and advertize locally to hotels etc. I was trying to explain to him about google etc. and he thought it was a bunch of garbage. Lessen learned? I'm working full time from home and have a $50,000 SUV. He has a job as a truck driver making $400 a week and doesn't work for me anymore. Last I heard he's still trying to peddle his content management systems to local hotels. Good luck to you pal. Peter PS No dosrespect to truck drivers... just proving working from home can be lucrative. Amit,

One guy said, "So your the dude that's been sending me all those stupid viagra emails!". I guess it's hard for me to understand that alot of people are still so green about the net in general.
