Delightfully Simple Marketing

I’ve been involved in Online marketing for almost one-third of my life, that’s almost 20 years, it’s the longest I’ve ever stuck at one job by a long way.

When I started marketing was simple, build a webpage put ads on it and sit back and let the money roll in.

It was that simple after about 18 months, I was generating over $400 a day.

But then Marketing got complicated, Marketers started to talk about funnels, upsells, downsells, evergreen offers webinars and all the other stuff they could think to add as they released “You Can’t Sell Simple”

However, the point is Marketing Is Still Simple.

I make enough money to live the lifestyle I want by spending 30 minutes a day working on my business, 30 minutes, and the time it takes to drink a decent Starbucks.

Marketing Doesn’t Need To Be Complicated

I’m now on my crusade to make Online Marketing so simple a 5-year-old could do it.

Take for example, funnels, The problem with funnels is that you get told loads of BS and get pushed towards buying expensive software because you “Must Have A funnel”

Remember…” You Are Only One Funnel Away? “

Pay no attention to that particularly misleading quip.
