Last week, one of the best Niche Marketing and Internet marketing blogs on the Internet linked to me and I didn’t even notice it!
The truth is that someone I don’t read his posts because they are too technical for me… Andy really knows what he is talking about.
Andy Beard’s Niche Marketing blog is one of my favorite blogs on the web, along with Michel Fortin and a couple of others.
He was talking about two posts I made a couple of days before. It was about a sentence from John Reese. “Release crap”.
If I didn’t read this article (two years ago), I think my situation would be different now.
Why?
Because I am from the French west indies (La Guadeloupe), and French people have a crazy mentality…
Most of them think that to release an ebook at Amazon, you need to be a nobel prize, or an actor… In fact, they are so late in the Internet marketing game that anyone who take the time to start now in this market could become a “John Reese” there… I am serious.
Most of them will never do anything because of this perfection syndrome… When I started, I was like this and I thought that your product needed to be perfect before you release it.
However, “crap” doesn’t really mean crap. It means that you need to realease your product before YOU think that it is finished, otherwise you will never do anything.
Then, once the product is in the market, get feedback and make it better and better.
Think about Microsoft… and look at windows xp, vista. It works, but is it perfect? I don’t think so…
As for Eben Pagan, I learned so much from him that I don’t know what to say.
Visit Andy’s blog here because he really shares a lot. In fact, I was reading one of his posts about Rob Benwell Niche Annihilation ebook and he said that Rob was earning more than many class A bloggers.
When I read this, I thought… “Yes, it’s true. Bloggers really give a lot. In fact, I believe that you can become an expert in anything just reading blogs on the subject. The only problem is that… it will take a LOT of time.”
I strongly recommend that you read Andy Beard’s Niche Marketing blog at least once a week.

Good idea to talk from Andy’s Niche post.
Btw, I am french too, and happy to see that I am not alone to think that “French people have a crazy mentality…”

Hey Hubert,
You are welcome. I didn’t travel to France for… 7 years now!
Travelling a lot. I had no other choice than doing Internet marketing…
Thanks for passing by.

Hi !
I discovered your blog from WarriorForum since just a few minutes.
You’re absolutely right for the French mentality (I’m French Metropolitan). Almost French people really have a problem with money. A very big problem with money and abundance. And it’s worst everyday. There is so many anti-liberal mindset here. They fight liberalism and entrepreneurship, for them, it’s the source of their own misery (yeah it’s weird, they think they’re becoming more poor everyday because others creates wealth for themself, and not for everybody, want always more money is human, but want more without any effort is typically French).
When i speak about entrepreneurship with french people around me, they think it will necessarily be social and without too much profit. Profit and wealth creation is awful. French people want to have the money of the others without make any efforts. Approximatively one person for two in France get money from the government (except entrepreneur). In France, each active people pay tax on wage for 3 inactive people.
It’s good to read entrepreneurship posts in english (very rare in French) and look that French people from Guadeloupe (life is expensive for you in Guadeloupe, isn’t?) are “getting altitude” ;)
Sorry for my Frenglish. I learned at school (French school are disturbed too, i learned so much more knowledge by myself in english when i leave french school, thanks to internet; thanks to you guys). I try to improve my english everyday. I’m coming to miami in a few month, firs time i leave my fucking country, i need to practice more, i know :)
Best regards and forget my negativity of the day :)
