Bum your marketing, you will stay a bum forever.

It’s all about the proper mindframe.

Did you know that 95% of the world’s wealth is handled by the 5% of the population? I firmly believe that if a global redistribution of wealth were to occur, in 2 years tops, the situation would be the same. Rich would be rich again, and poor would be poor.

To even strengthen my argument, take a look at all those lottery winners. It takes every single one of them, one year at maximum to spend all that money they earned and go back to their old lives.

Why is that? Why do some people know how to make (and keep, and invest) money, and most of the others do not?

Well, for one thing its education. I sincerely believe that the world education system is meant to produce spare parts for the existing generation of workers. Overspecialization makes people narrow minded, unable to think or seek out different avenues in their lives.

The system makes you a worker bee, a perfect piece of the larger picture, but not your picture.

Not everyone is a free soul, don’t worry, I am not that naive to believe that they were. I have talked about this issue with so many people, and I have reached to the conclusion that some people simply want to be used.

Some of them want to use you,

some of them want to get used by you,

some of them want to abuse you,

some of them want to be abused…

I have tried to explain the concept of passive income, of small constant investments and of cashflow to many people, and I have managed to break the mental handcuffs of only a handfull.

In the next few posts, I will try to explain these concepts. But for now, I will talk about the bigger picture, the proper mindframe.

People who think like workers will remain a worker their entire lives.

People who think like businessmen will ultimately become businessmen no matter how many failed projects they bury.

It is always about the way of thinking. You can always do a lot of work by the “brute force” method, but you are not a businessman if you think like that.

A worker will work his ass off and write 200 original well written articles.
A businessman will work his ass off and create a community of content writers to pump out original well written articles day in and day out.

Do you see the difference? Well, you fucking don’t. Everyone says that they understand the concept but the very next minute you see them do something stupid again.

To stick to the SEO issues, if you need 2 hours to get a link to your site you are a worker. If you need 100 hours to make a tool that will give you links at any quantity and anytime you request them, then you think like a businessman.

Sure, you can submit your site to every damn directory in the Internet, and outrank the businessman. But you will find out next month, that he has been spending his time writing one piece of linkbait that builds him 1000000 links overnight.

My point here, is that if you think like a bum, if you work one hour for 10$, then the next hour for the next 10$ etc, you will stay a worker forever.

Businessmen work one hour, to get 10 cents income. And the next hour, to get another 10 cents. Those cents build up, and they get to a point where you make money without doing anything. And stupid people call you lucky.

SEO issues again. Ask yourself, be truthful, you answer only to yourself. Hopefully, they will get you thinking. Here they are:

Do you write and submit articles to article directories?
Do you markov and rss scrape for content?
Do you create content generating communities?
Do you outsource the grunt work?
Do you submit to social sites one by one?
Do you make the social sites link to you?
Do you fix every tech issue yourself?
Do you have a dedicated techie who is a wizard in computers?
Do you research keywords one by one manually?
Do you utilize keyword suggestion tools to create large lists of “Shotgun spread” targets?
Do you build a unique and sooooooooo damn cute template for every little stupid project you come up with?
Do you simply use a template from your inventory, and work on the project after it has shown potential?
Do you make tools that others are dying to use?
Do you promote unique products in unique ways?
Are you doing the same stupid things that everyone else does?
