Sunday Email 32: About Pissing Others
If you're new to my subscription and wondering what is a "Sunday Email", it's an email full of my rants, personal tips and opinions on marketing especially in the "internet marketing" niche. Sometimes, opinions on life. Whatever it is... it'll give you value after spending time reading it. To make sure you won't miss any future issue, subscriber for free at http://www.sundayemail.com.
So if you can relate to what I wrote when reading it-- good because I know it had just served the purpose of helping people.
One more thing-- it'll offend marketers. I hope you're not the one.
Re: Pissing Others Is Not An Issue, REALLY
Do you piss other people online- your readers, customers, competitors or whoever?
If you're not, you're not doing a favor for your business.
You know Robert Kiyosaki, right? The guy who wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad and became a 'guidebook' for people quitting their jobs. It's a bestseller book and you can always get a copy of it at amazon.com.
Here's the interesting part... do a search for his name in Google.com.
On page one of the result, look out for www.johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html. You'll read some uncool stuff about Robert- it might make you laugh but if you're a strong believer of Robert's teaching, then it's going to annoy you.
The first thing you'll read on this page is this:
Summary:
Rich Dad, Poor Dad is one of the dumbest financial advice books I have ever read. It contains many factual errors and numerous extremely unlikely accounts of events that supposedly occurred.
The reason why Robert pissed off some people is because he HAS reached 'there' (not specifically referring to John's comments because he does has his own logic explanation). The point is, when you have become so successful, you're going to have people who like you and people who hate you for whatever reason regardless of whether they're correct or not. It's a fact, live with it.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY- OR LIKE YOU. It can only happen if you only have 10 readers, subscribers or customers- not hundreds, thousands or millions.
So if EVERYONE likes you, you're in trouble dude because I would guess that you're not making as much as money as you could with so little reach.
It's the same thing if your product gets pirated. It's obviously very famous and high in demand. Just see how successful is Microsoft. (PLEASE don't leave a comment to debate about this issue with me here, it'll never end until the cows come home. I'm just stressing on a point about piracy.)
Or your content being stolen- like you blog about a certain topic and the next thing you know, it's on someone's blog but your name's not there anymore! :-) Anyway, I know who are the ones 'stealing' my content and they're reading my post here- AGAIN. This message goes to them: Learn to be creative for a change, will ya?
Look- there are a lot of people who not only dislike me, but hate me. And some get pissed when they read my Sunday Email.
Do I care? Of course! But we have to face the reality that you can't make everyone happy.
The deal is, make sure that those who like you is ALWAYS more than those who don't. Then you're covered and it's a sign that your business is growing.
This is important because of two things- you'll continue to have customers and you'll have those who will stand up for you. So make sure those who like you are being rewarded and get your attention.

Someone is kinda irritated (which is fine because this afterall, is a free World) because I sell a product at the end of my content. To be honest, I don't feel bad doing that at all because I know I'm making an offer to provide better solution.
As long as you have MORE people who like you, they'll "stand up" for you. Read the last comment replied by 'hui' and you'll know what I mean. (Thanks, Hui.)
So stop worrying if you've pissed or going to piss someone along the road to success. Shit happens. Just make sure that you're doing your best to add value and doing the right thing. Like, there will be some readers that get annoyed reading what I said today, but I think it's more important to communicate this message out to those who like it. Those who get it, get it. Those who don't, well, they might leave some nasty comments here. :-)
By the way, on a totally unrelated topic, I haven't been writing the Sunday Email Series lately. My last one was 6/22/08 which 77 days (that's over 2 months) ago. If you want to waste your time knowing what happened (smile), I took a 2-week vacation in Hawaii last month. Got a few pictures posted at my personal growth blog, www.patricchan.name. Hawaii's awesome.
And for business, I just launched a new product called, "Inside The Underground Marketing Lab Workshop" Home Course that you can see at www.insidemarketinglab.com. That's awesome too (if you want to find out how to make money online).
Here's the thing- if you enjoy reading Sunday Emails, can you do me a favor to leave a Comment? If I know there are a lot of readers, I'll do my best to make I write regularly. Please let me know.
Yours truly,
Patric Chan
