Questions?Q.: What happened to the Music Decor and More site? A.: Several things:
However, some of the products are still on the blog site,
at http://www.musicdecorandmore.blogspot.com Q.: In this new marketing information program that you are starting, why should we believe what you tell us in your recommendations and teachings? A.: That's a very good question. We have been involved with internet marketing since the beginning of the year 2000. You can read our "About Us" page and see what we have accomplished during that time, and prior to it. I left my job as a master electrician and robotics technician around that same time, and have been studying information and techniques from over a hundred different professional marketers ever since. Every spare minute of time has been spent studying the various aspects of online marketing, through books, reports, videos, audios, and seminars. That is combined with over 40 years of real life business experience. Now I feel as though I have finally caught up to the rest of the world (and in some areas surpassed it) in the internet marketing knowledge gained. Since I had a head start as a robotics technician, I feel that the technical aspects of it are my strong points. The psychology of it, I'm still learning! In most other areas of education, eight years of learning would be equivalent to at least a Master's Degree! But that doesn't mean that a professor who teaches finance is going to be a multi-millionaire, either! Everyone has their own level of expertise, and students all have their own level of learning. When the center line has been crossed, and nothing more can be imparted or learned, it's time to find a new teacher or new student! (My wife worked on our business part time until Spring of 2005, when she left her job with a major bank when we moved to Arkansas, and has been working side by side with me ever since.) Q.: If you are so knowledgeable, why are your sites so plain looking, and why don't we see your name mentioned in the marketing arena more? A.: Like the majority of the marketers in the world, we have struggled to get a feel for what path we wanted to follow, and in the process, tried many that didn't work out. It has only been in the last couple of years that we have really put a plan together for where we want to go from here. Also, we have still had to make a living, and our service business still takes a lot of our time, keeping us from implementing many of the things we have learned. It's not that we don't know how to do them, we just haven't had time. I can easily advise a person what they should do in much less time than it takes to actually do it. Therefore I can share my knowledge with a great many people without going out and performing that activity myself. Also, there are many things that I have learned that are in areas which I do not care to pursue, because they are not on my own path. Take one look at our new site map for the pages we are in the process of building and see how each category has many subcategories under it. And this is only a start. Other pages will come along that we haven't thought of yet! Like the web, marketing on it is a very complex issue. If we can help some new entrepreneur get started with it, then why not? No one person is an expert at everything, not even the top rated "gurus". They are all in a constant state of learning, as are we. But we all have knowledge that someone else doesn't. Some people have fallen into one aspect or another of marketing and have done EXTREMELY well, especially if they had a mentor to help them. However, as in everything else, those people are in the minority. Less than ten percent of online entrepreneurs ever become millionaires, but many manage to make a comfortable living from it. Some young "go-getters" may thrive on creating a multi-million dollar business, while "older folks" may only be interested in meeting their budget, and anything beyond that is a bonus. As with any money making venture, it takes work, and you only get out of it what you have time to put into it. We have learned one thing in life, and that is that you don't have to be a millionaire to be considered successful. If you can meet the goals that you set for yourself, and accomplish what you set out to do, then you are successful. If all you want to do is make enough extra money to supplement a regular job, you can be successful at it. Just make sure that your goals and expectations are realistic, and grow from there. The internet is a vast wasteland of useless information for the most part. It is VERY hard to stay focused on one particular avenue when you are getting started, because you may not know what path you want to follow. One link leads to another link, and yet to another link, and before long you are lost, both in direction, as well as valuable time. If the knowledge we have gained can help guide a new entrepreneur and save him much of the time that he would waste on his own, then why shouldn't we offer that help? Much of what we offer is free, and if we make a little from some of the other products, then why not? That's what marketing is all about.....making sales, and making money. And we can show you how to do that. The rest you will learn as you go at whatever pace you have set for yourself. We can provide the tools and the knowledge. We can't make you work or give you more time. Your own success depends upon YOU and the decisions you alone have to make. Q.: What if I am not satisfied with the product? A.: We will refund your money to you. I fit's a physical product, we'll make the refund once we receive the product in original condition. However, you must pay the return shipping costs. For downloadable products, we will just take your word for it.....for now. However, we are working on converting all of our digital products to a format that will allow us full control, including shutting off access to many of them if necessary. Q.: What if I don't want to use a credit card to pay for the product(s) I want? A.: PayPal also has the ability to pay by electronic check online. We never see your payment information. That is all handled on PayPal's secure servers. They send us the information with what to ship and who to ship it to....that's all. We no longer process credit cards offline, both for security reasons, as well as expense. The few times a year that we processed credit cards by phone did not justify the costs for the service. You can send us a check or money order, if you wish, but we must wait until the check clears before we ship your order. Also, we are working on getting a printable order form online for some items, which you can print, fill out and mail to us with your check or money order.
Other Comments: Are you still afraid of purchasing on the internet? If you have heard anything on the news about
people breaking into websites, please don't be alarmed by such things.
Why? Because nearly every web site that processes orders online are protected by
an encryption process on the servers, and credit card transactions are nearly
always handled by third-party companies that specialize in such things. Don't like shipping fees? Look at it this way. How much gas (and maybe parking fees) would you have to waste running all over town trying to find the things that are accessible to you on the internet? The IRS doesn't allow nearly enough of a deduction to cover the cost of operating our vehicles, and if you can't deduct your mileage, you don't get anything back! When I was still making payments on our Dakota Quad-Cab, I
kept good records of all the expenses incurred (payments, insurance, taxes,
maintenance, fuel, etc.), and the mileage driven every year. I was surprised to
find that the total expenses came to 75 cents per mile! Obviously, I chose
to take the actual expenses when filing our taxes, rather than the standard
mileage deduction the IRS allows, otherwise I would have been losing money! If you shop internet stores regularly, you
will find that they have frequent sales, rebates and free
shipping on many of their items. Plus, there's the added benefit of
(usually) NO SALES TAX* when you purchase on the web! So relax, sit back,
and enjoy your shopping! Let someone else fight the traffic and the added
expense! We pride ourselves in providing a quality product, and we offer a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with your purchase. If you have any questions about our products before you place an order, please Contact Us or call us (on our toll free number) at 1-866-782-9355, and we will be glad to answer your questions. |
We hate unnecessary emails as much as you do, so we will keep opt-in boxes off of this site as long as we can. New item on the menu: A new site will soon be added to our "family"
which will feature our first digital product produced by Azgrand. It will be a
book on internet coaching, to help you decide if you need it or not, and what to
avoid if you do want it. This new product could save you thousands of dollars,
because we have already tried many of these coaching programs, and can tell you
where the "money pits" are. |
