    Charles,

    Thank You for saying what I’ve been experiencing as an info junkie. I’ve been so concerned that I was going to miss something that I ended up wasting my whole day going through emails and deleting most of them. I have the tools and the products to go ahead and I definitely need to do just that. I’m going on a “delete” binge. Don’t worry…you will not be deleted….:)

    I’m glad you liked the video. I know how easy it is to get sucked into buying new products that is becomes hard to get started on the one that you already have.

    Talk soon,

    Charles,

    It is so simple to get sucked into a lot of offers that are out there. Most I never buy as the content is usually just rehashed information. My issue us having info overload but lately I have been able to get on track. Thank you!

    Charles,

    The information overload is overwhelming!

    I will take you advice and start unsubscribing today. The marketing information diet begins today.

    My wife agrees that I need to quit buying and start taking action.

    I look forward to your next video about squeeze pages.

    Thanks Charles,
    Been meaning to cut out the middle men for ages.
    Answering emails and reading them takes up so much time–as you suggest, I’ll have a clear out and concentrate on what’s important.

    Charles,
    Dude, you nailed it, just last weekend I went on a unsubscribe binge, and I cut 25% of the emails, which is not enough, I need to cut 75% of what I now get. They are repeats of repeats. This is a great idea and you are not the only one whom has said this. It is always good to hear this kind of info from more than one source.
    OK then, how does an affiliate marketer make it, as he/she is only regurgitating what someone else is selling? As we are adding to the info overload theory.
    Knowledge is power!

    Charles, where were you hiding in my home office? How did you know to describe me to a tee? I am 6 months into this IM thing & no closer to making $ than I was 6 months ago. I have serious info overload & I am going to play this video everyday til I can recite it in my sleep! Thanks, Becky

    OMG – Thank you Charles! I’ve been quite frustrated with myself about this very subject because, yes, I have several programs I’ve spent money over the years that I’ve NEVER even touched. I got rid of some of them because they just didn’t seem feasible at all. I even have recent stuff which I spent money on that is still sitting on the shelf that may find its way to the recycle bin also. One of the problems is having to read volumes of material and watch hours of videos before you can start to make any money. It’s hard to get motivated to even start when it feels like it will take months just to get through the “information”.

    Ouch. It’s no wonder I haven’t made any money….but all that changes as of NOW thanks to your video.

    Keep up the great work!

    Hello Charles, I love this. I’ve felt like this for a couple months now. I’ve been doing exactly like you’re saying in this video, chasing my tail. I still feel like I have some missing pieces. I’ll do like you said , info diet. Lets see where this goes. I’m embarrassed to say so and especially on a very public blog. I have a hard time trusting any one. I’ll start right here right now.

    Thanx Charles 4 your TIME

    Hi Charles –
    You are ‘right on’ brother. I was just about ready to have the “AHA” moment (unsubscribing) a lot of stuff, when your friend Jonny Andrews – in his blog- told us about a great guy (you). Your name just happened to be in my emails, so I clicked on to this video. Thank you, thank you…and I will never unsubscribe you. Common Sense prevails.
    Looking forward to more. Thanks again, Jerry G.

    My God does this hit home. I sometimes sit at the computer with a gameplan and make the mistake of opening email first. I don’t necessarily by anything, but get sucked in on more salespages than I care to admit. The time just flies and before you know it half the day is gone…won’t unsubscribe to this site, I am looking forward to his next video.

    Thank you for your info. I had already started to unsubscribe to the heaps of emails when you sent us this. You are so right… you spend most of your time checking out stuff that is the same or the same stuff from different affiliates… I am drowning in info… from products I have bought and stuff I have read on the net… Thank you for the life ring…

    Hi Charles

    Wise words C, same trash circulating and I get so tired…
    overload for a newbie like me, is a trauma, and gets you numb, insecure and prevents you from taking action.

    I have just done a slim-subscribe.diet, actually before watching this video and you are one of the goodies left on my menue. Thanks You for sharing and boosting us.

    Hi Charles
    My name is Michael and I am an Information addict. I also seem to purchase every $29 to $97 info product that , at the time seems to be the cure for my lack of forward progress. I make a few bucks, but I don’t have time to learn new stuff I bought last month, check out all the new product launches, read e-mails ect. I have unsubscribed to some emails that just don’t excite me any longer but what started out to be two trusted marketers ended up to be 20+ more because of all the other JV programs they are promoting and highly recommend.

    Hi Charles:
    I enjoyed the video because it seemed as if was talking about me. But I have decided to do what you said about going on a diet and not subscribing to every scheme that come into my email.

    Thanks for reminding me.

    Bless you,

    Hi Charles

    Thank you for so revealing in telling us what we should not do. Yes getting info overload or want ing to know everything is not productive. I agree it is better to know one trick and do it again and again to monetize it.

    Appreciate for highlighting info overload.

    Stunning. Hit not just a nerve but in the face. Unsubscribe can buy me time. Take care.

    Hi Charles

    You are SO right on this one. After watching the video I have started my “information diet” and have already unsubscribed from 10 lists, and requested two refunds!!

    Now all I have to do is to continue with the good work and concentrate on getting my first sites up and running with the information that I already have to hand.

    Many thanks, and rest assured that I will not be unsubscribing to your list.

    Thanks for the info. It’s just what I do waste time with e-mails that contain junk.

  25. Charles Kirkland

    09. Jul, 2009

    For a long time I would not get off any list because I was sure that I would miss that life changing email. And that was already after I was making some good money.

    But once I did it was one of the best time savers that I ever did

    You have just put into wards waht I have been doing for the last week or so.
    My “IN BOX” is on a strict diet. And I have stopped buying into those hyped products you describe so well. You also make the point of receiving offers for the same product from several gurus, obviously all looking for a slice of commission.
    Definitely a case of “information overload” or “analysis paralysis”.

    I look forward to your next “episode” with interest. I have got to the stage of picking products and creating pages, but need to get traffic without paying through the nose for it. (not ppc)

    Keep up the good work! Excellent!!!!

    Thanks for commenting on this issue.
    I truly was an info junkie until I got addicted to your videos.
    I am applying now as I speak your simple concept on generating traffic using Google Trends.

    Please keep your ideas comming.

    Keep on the good work!

    Hi Charles,

    Have you been snooping around in my computer?
    How do you know that I’m subscribed to so many lists?
    How do you know that I have so many unused products?

    You really hit the Bull’s eye.
    It’s actually common sense but damned hard to get into your head.

    From now on I will unsubscribe from ONE list a day.
    Don’t worry, it wont be yours.

    Exactly!
    I’m the same as all the other posters here. Suffering terrible from information overload, a computer full of software and resale rights products I never use – do anything with and then spend all day reading emails or storing them to read later.

    I have umpteen email accounts all with unread mail in them and the office is becoming a mass of paperwork that I don’t have the time to sort!!! Woa is me lol

    I guess I’m lucky in a way because my cash flow is limited, I haven’t purchased to many things, but I was spending way to much time check things out and taking notes, but I caught my self last week after 3 hours went by, and decided to do exactly what you suggested. If it’s not going to be to my advantage, delete and move on. Time is precious and it’s funny how we get caught up in thinking we are going to miss out on something. I now have more time and the funny thing is, I do not think I have missed out on anything.

    Amen brother. My new saying NO MAS
    In March and April i spent over $6000. they all had to do with PPC and CPA from the experts but i am done for now. I need to apply now what i am learning and take action. which i have done.
    In May i went to a seminar in Las Vegas and each presenter pitched a $3-5 thoudand dollar product. One lady who had bought the same i did in March said NO MAS but got hyped in the pitchfest and dropped another $10,000 =$15000. she hasnt opened and applied the first and has this to gather dust..
    so after i make my next $20,000 than i will look at something else…remember NO MAS

    10. Jul, 2009

    right on ! you tell it like it is, there is totally to much unnessesary products and emails and info out there that you can never get anywhere with it by just reading over n over again without applying yourself to something ,just stick with it and do it ,and when that starts working and you get to feel good with it just simply repeat the same system again and again …. then enjoy life !!!

    Dear Charles,

    Thank you for your great video.
    I have a question.
    Since I do not know how to create a website or a squeeze page, could you, please, recommend a source (a person, a website, an organization, a company) who could build for me a great squeeze page but at the same time it would be not too expensive, (if not very cheap at least) for a reasonable price.
    I would really appreciate your advice.
    Thank you very much.

    Dear Charles,
    I admit what u say in the vedio. I was looking for online home jobs and marketing opprtunities. By now I have spent my time and wasted a little amount of $ s, which is a big amount in my currency, specially for prescribed membership fees etc. As you mentioned I decided to click unsubscribe the Web pages, which made me to disturb to read my importnt mails due to this awkward mails.
    I wish U would provide advise for my interest of getting online home typing ,dataentry jobs or else through Ur next vedio.Pl.
    Regards!!!

Thank you for this and You know I have been try to make money online and making my website but I was trying o learn more and more, Now because of your video and that you told I just sat down and thought of the info I have and its like I have all the doors open.
    Well Thank You Very Much!

  45. Peggy

    10. Jul, 2009

    Yeah! and I have to say it again Yeah!. Finally someone that understands and is honest with the information he tells his subscribers. I love it! I agree with Angel: “this is the best video that I have ever watched”. I am pretty new to Internet Marketing, I just have a passion for the Internet. I receive so much direction I do not have time to pick a direction. And if it is not in my email box, they are calling me on the phone because I bought a product.
    Well I have gotta run and start my diet, hope to be skinny by the afternoon.
    Thank you so much.
    Later,

    Hi Peggy

    Honest and online marketing are something that really seem like a rare find these days.

    I not sure if I stand out in the online world because I’m not going to suger coat anything just to make a sale.

    To me its about helping other people first and money is 2nd.

    But thats just me.

    Talk soon

    Thank you Charles,
    I needed to heard about the diet.
    I don’t know nothing about the Internet or web biz, but I have a huge headache from sorting and shifting thru all the stuff.
    I am searching and trying to find the REAL THING that will work, that won’t cost me a lot, that I can start right away and make money right away with the limited Computer and webbiz knowledge that I have.
    Looking forward to your next video.

    Your subject name is great! There is a considerable range of these people’s buying habits let loose and it is not only confusing but can put one in the poorhouse.

    One thing I would like to know, why do people refuse refunds when they see that the next program is much like the other. (Love your comment on the hired copywriter…..)

    Look foward to your next video.
