Internet Marketing is very demanding - there are a lot of detailed steps to be taken to reach any success. By the way, Desmond, I downloaded Killer Launch a few days ago and got a message of polluted file. Can I get another one? Fran :) I think you are right Desmond… Internet Marketing
is very demanding – there are a lot of detailed steps

By the way, Desmond, I downloaded Killer Launch a few
days ago and got a message of polluted file. Can I
get another one?

Well, people are looking for "easy money" when they go online to make money. That's the main reason product launch is really one sector that has been overlooked by "normal" internet marketers. Let's face it: They think only gurus do product launches. ;-) Hey Brandon,

People don't like to look behind the numbers, and guru's don't like to show you because it crushes the dream. I just managed a launch for a B level player in the Day Trading industry. We brought in $784,300 GROSS SALES during the 6 days that we had the sales page up. We also had a 24 day prelaunch/launch phase before the sales page came up. Before that we had spent about a month getting all of the JV partners and affiliates lined up. So, the total time involved was about 2 1/2 to 3 months to pull this off. It also involved 3 main individuals working full time, along with 4 virtual assistants also working full time. I'd guess all in all the entire project had a time investment by all parties of well over 3000 hours. That works out ok for everyone involved, esp when you consider that the VA's are in Pakistan and only cost about $200 a week, but I still think that people have a dream and fantasy that it will be a lot less work vs what it actually is. For my involvement I ended up clearing a comfortable six figure amount for managing the launch and the JV partners etc, but again I had a lot of hours in, and during the week that the sales page was up I only slept about 2 or 3 hours per night. In the end though I think it's worth all the hard work, because there is nothing like a successful launch to leverage yourself in your industry and take your business to a new level. This is especially true if you operate outside of the "IM", "Make Money Online" or "Work From Home in your underwear" niches Brandon You hit it Desmond, most people are just lazy, and they some how expect that by being lazy and not by thinking for themselves, that somehow that $2000 course is going to spit money out on the other side.
