The Pearl – Are there such things as Internet Marketing secrets?
I hope you enjoyed last week’s Part 3 edition of the Oyster Marketing strategy on selling. Today I am going to talk about the 4th an final stage of the Oyster marketing technique, the pearl.
This is probably the most exciting for me to write about because it is the most mysterious. Is there that hidden pearl online…or in Internet marketing terms, is there a secret that only a few high stakes marketers even know about?
Are there secret niches? I wonder.
What about secret keywords. Hmm…keywords that make people millions of bucks. Keywords that only certain people know how to find. I wonder…
I am going to look into this and discuss my personal thoughts on IF there are secrets online, and if so, where do you find these hidden gems.
Before I get started, I want to quote the very first Oyster Marketing Strategy post that made the initial reference to “the pearl”.
Pearls are very rare and in fact, in my 4 years working in the oyster business, I only came across one…and it wasn’t the ideal pearl shape (perfectly round). I guess you could call this kinda lucky (that I found one that is).
A pearl is VERY rare in the wild and….
….pearl is equivalent to hunting for something that is not there or very hard to find…or an illusion in attempt to earn a MASSIVE PROFIT.
The pearl is what most people look for, yet the fewest people ever find. I compare it to someone looking for the “secret to success”…when in fact, the secret is that there is NO SECRET (if that makes sense).
So really, what I was saying is that:
If you are looking for some sort of Internet Marketing Secret, you are either going to grow old and grey doing so, or you are going to find something that appears to be a secret, but in actuality... [Read Full Post]
The Meat – Sell More Low or Sell Less High
I hope you all enjoyed Part 2 of my Oyster Marketing Strategy last week where I discussed the “Shell“, or how to nurture a customer along a path in which they become a POWER CUSTOMER (aka, repeat buyer). Today, I want to discuss the “meat”. “Oysters tend to vary in size and although the biggest oysters fetch the most money, the smaller oyster are in much higher demand.... [Read Full Post]

How to build a website for LONG term success!
Whew… Sorry, I just got back from a journey through success using this “thingy”! What kind of success you ask? One where I built a website in 32 seconds. One where I built a site that Google is already french kissing. One where I built a site where I don’t need to know a lick of programming. One where I got listed in Google in under 12 hours. One that will change the way I... [Read Full Post]
The Oyster Shell – Creating More Powerful Customers
Last week I showed you how the geography of your audience (the beach) has an impact on your earning potential as an Internet marketer. An audience is a group of people though. My goal today is to show you how to turn an audience into revenue, or what we like to call “power customers”. So here we have the oyster shell. “This is the home for the oyster. The bigger the shell, the... [Read Full Post]
The Geographic Marketing “Beach”
The other day I made post in the forum pertaining to my old job as a Oyster Picker. Yeah, yeah…enough chuckles! Anyways, within that post I mentioned that there were 4 aspects (the beach, the shell, the meat, the pearl) to a successful oyster business, and I tied them into their extremely close relation to Internet marketing. (You can read my original post here) Today I am going to elaborate... [Read Full Post]
Five Things They Don’t Teach You About Working from Home
Guest Post by: Steve W. I’ve been working full-time as an Internet Marketer for a little over a year now. In that time, I have learned that it takes a little bit more than knowing the methods of Internet Marketing to be successful. Here are just a few of my observations that most other people either don’t want to talk about, or they simply forget to tell you about. 1. You become your own... [Read Full Post]
What makes a keyword a GOOD keyword?
Guest Post by: Marcus Back in 2005 when I first started online I couldn’t get this question out of my head. Every which way I turned I was told that learning how to do keyword research was an important part of the whole Internet marketing process, but even though I understood that point in theory…I really didn’t understand what a GOOD keyword was. I’m not talking about any keyword in... [Read Full Post]
The “Oyster” Marketing Strategy
Hey everyone, This is a story I can completely relate to for many reasons. Believe it or not, I used to work for an aquaculture company during my mid to late teens, with my main duty being “picking oysters”. Although this was a back breaking job it was one that taught me a lot about work ethics and how to work quickly and efficiently. I guess in a way it also taught what I don’t... [Read Full Post]
Why does google love my junk websites?
I really suck at building websites! Honestly, I do. Looking back over the years (wow, almost 8 years now…I am getting up there), I have built some of the funkiest, stinkiest looking websites around. Graphics…bah. A waste of time right? A fancy template with lots of bells and whistles…I had no need for that. An ugly (by conventional rules), bare looking “homemade” website... [Read Full Post]
