Yes, the ads are stupid and for stupid people, but stupid people deserve to be lean as well. As long as they can pay for it...
The trainers who can write great and motivating diets and programs, and yet aren't marketing to stupid people, are screwing the stupid people over. Royally. But hold yer heads up high and sleep well tonight!  |
Very VERY good point there! And now i'm in deep-thought mode, AGAIN! argh! lol
I guess my business is biased. I make a living off highly-educated, wealthy, successful people. They are far from stupid. I've been training some of my clients for five years. They stick around. If they stop training with me for a period of time, they come back down the road. AND they listen to me...again, they are far from stupid ;D
I don't do online marketing...except for my blog...which is done entirely by your's truly. If I decided I wanted to market myself online and/or sell products like everyone else does, who would I turn to for assistance that A)isn't just in it to make more money off me, B)would help me put together a CLASSY product/website/whatnot, and C)would help me create an online presence that DOESN'T make ME look stupid, as i'm trying to reach the stupid people?
I don't know if there's anyone out there like that.
Again, i'm not much of a sheep that follows the herd...and maybe that makes me naive.
