Marketer Matt

While I wrote about this from a business perspective on my company blog, I felt like expanding on this here as well as updating my readers on what’s going on with me in 2012, where I’m headed in life and in business, and what they can expect from this blog going forward. Generally, I plan about a million things for myself to get accomplished for my New Year’s resolutions. I write out every book I want to read, other self-improvement tasks such as learning languages, attending seminars or trainings, vacations I want to take, the amount of money I’d like  [ Read More ]

It’s funny to me how mainstream affiliate marketing is becoming while network marketing is still so often despised. It is really very ironic, especially when you consider that there are now many two and three tier affiliate programs. So here’s my question… Why in the world haven’t more internet marketers gone into the network marketing arena?!? Seriously though, think about this for a second. Affiliate marketers are already doing the same thing as network marketers, only they are almost exclusively focused on online marketing whereas most network marketers are still stuck in traditional word-of-mouth advertising. Affiliate marketers therefore actually have a  [ Read More ]

I watched some videos today from a friend of mine that were talking about how the economy is collapsing all around us. Apparently, the US dollar backs most of the world’s currencies and oil must be purchased in US dollars rather than any other currency. Apparently, this is the only thing that is keeping the dollar from becoming worthless as the Fed pumps more and more dollars into the system. Supposedly they are planning to pour up to 11 trillion additional dollars into the economy, thinking that that will save it… which it won’t. So what does that have to  [ Read More ]

A lot can happen in 5 months. It was 5 months ago that I started my company Scepter Marketing. Since then we’ve been helping clients, some paid, some underpaid, doing whatever we can do to sharpen our skills and get things rolling. It feels like right now I’m on the precipice looking over into the promised land, and I’m feeling up the challenge. The business model has switched around several times from when it was first birthed in 2009, but we’ve settled on a path that looks promising to all. It’s coming to that time where I really have to  [ Read More ]

So I went to see the Social Network after hearing raving reviews from my friends about how perfect of a movie it was. And you know what? It actually was pretty sweet. It was inspiring and motivating to watch the story of guy close to my age who built a multi-billion dollar business in just a few short years! And, having similar ambitions myself, I enjoyed the movie. The movie also highlighted some interesting issues such as intellectual property rights.. In the movie, (this is a spoiler for those who haven’t seen it yet!) Zuckerberg was hired by a couple  [ Read More ]

As I wrote in a previous post the internet is like the California Gold rush! There is nearly limitless opportunity for people like you and me to jump in and make money by talking about and doing what we love! There are thousands of markets without a market leader and they are just waiting for people like you and me to come along and connect with them, teach them, and give them a place to talk about and share their hobbies, pastimes, and passions! So here’s the deal. I’m going to be experimenting with an idea that I’ve had for  [ Read More ]

So it appears as though the clash of the titans has begun! Google and Facebook have taken aim at each other. Facebook has introduced search and Google is creating their own social media network. Facebook has taken their “like” feature to the next level by allowing website owners to place a Facebook branded “like” button on individual posts and web pages. Apparently Facebook plans on using this popularity contest as their way of doing search. In contrast to Google, where the website with the most authoritative links pointing to it wins, Facebook seems to plan on having more of a  [ Read More ]

I got started in internet marketing through first reading a book (or report maybe it was…) about how to grow a multi-level marketing company online. The report was called Magnetic Sponsoring by Mike Dillard – internet MLM guru extraordinaire. My friend Erik had bought the book because we had just gotten started in a new MLM in February of last year. As I’m sure many people in the MLM industry have come to realize, things would move much faster if leads were calling us instead of us calling the leads. With the aspirations of making this wish a reality, I  [ Read More ]

Simply put, internet marketing is like the California gold rush. At least I feel like I’ve struck gold. Eight months ago I ventured out to learn how to make money on the internet. And I had no idea what I was doing… There was a book written by a leading economist named Paul Zane Plizer who wrote a book called The Next Millionaires.  In this book he stated that there were four major trends that we were in the middle of right now. They are the internet, home based businesses, the wellness industry, and intellectual distribution. Internet marketing encompasses two  [ Read More ]
