George Bush's
Secret To Successful Internet Marketing
© 2004 By Willie Crawford
Former U.S. president, George Bush Senior
told the following story during a broadcast back in
1989...
A young boy and an old man were walking along a beach.
As they walked, the boy picked up each starfish he passed
and threw them back into the sea. Confused, the old man
asked him why.
``If I left them here,'' the boy said, ``they would dry up
and die. I am saving their lives.''

``But the beach goes on for
miles and there are millions of
starfish,'' the old man said. ``How can what
you're doing make any difference?''
The boy looked at the starfish in his hand,
threw it into the ocean, and answered,
``It makes a difference to this one.'' |
How does that relate to Internet marketing?
Our quest into the world of making money online
can often be like that walk along the beach.
The starfish lying on the sand are the tens of
thousands of people who, wanting to start their
own business, have bought into some hype, and
joined schemes and scams that have absolutely no
chance of working for most of them.
These starfish... these people who have bet
their lives' dreams, and often life's savings,
on a poorly conceived, over-hyped "business
opportunity" strike me as starfish stranded on
that beach. They are so close to the ocean,
- to proven online businesses they can own, and
yet they need a little help
As a consultant, and someone many people
come to for solutions, I see too many who have bought into a
"packaged deal" that includes everything from a complete
turnkey website to guaranteed traffic. In theory, all they
need to do is turn it on, and it will spit out dollar bills.
The dream of an instant, foolproof business is simply
very, very appealing to some. We all know that if it were
THAT easy, everybody would be doing it. Still, we like to
believe that it is... just maybe... possible. It's sort of
like playing the lottery. We know our chances are one in
one hundred million of winning, but maybe... just maybe...
Back to that walk along the beach... You can actually earn a
decent living online being that boy walking along the beach.
You save these starfish, one at a time by showing them what
really does work online. You see people wasting time and
money on some business concept that is failing them,
and you do the kind-hearted thing. You gently show
them the errors of their ways.
Many will still stubbornly hold on to the scam they have
bought into, and continue trying to make that work. Their
chances of ever making a dime are less than average. They
are still looking for the easy, no-effort way, that doesn't
exist!
Some will notice that YOU are earning a living online and
want to know how you do it. That's your invitation to show
them what has actually proven to work for you. That's your
green light to throw them back into the "Internet marketing
ocean" and give them another chance at success... a much
better than average chance because you teach them how not to
wash up on the shore again.
One term we see used online frequently is six-figure income.
That threshold has a magical effect with many because they
have difficulty achieving it. You can easily achieve a six
or even seven-figure income online. All you have to do is
help others the do the same. They will happily pay you for
your help. Help someone to earn $200,000 a year and they
won't mind paying you handsomely for that. Teach them the
proper way to do it and they will be forever grateful to
you.
