<p>It&#8217;s true I really did fail about 5 years ago&#8230;</p>
<p>I was running the free traffic and list building club called LifestyleNetworker and everything was going great! Loads of people joined daily and I was getting super feedback from happy users. Then I decided that I would offer the same software that I was using to run the club with to other members. Don&#8217;t get me wrong I truly believe that it was the right decision, but I just wasn&#8217;t prepared for what was to happen a few months down the road.</p>
<p><strong>&quot;The only way to retain a true leader is if you give them the same opportunity for growth as you have&quot; &#8211; Tim Sales.</strong></p>
<p>I sold the software to begin with for a measly $50 and naturally the demand was very high! But because the software was written in cgi and I had made lot&#8217;s of hacks and modifications it was incredibly tough to support. I started getting daily support mails and at one time had server login for about 50 clients! I eventually had to raise the price to $97 because I was running out of extra time to do my marketing.</p>
<p>This is where I made my fatal mistake &#8211; I didn&#8217;t hire someone to take care of these support issues and eventually I was so bogged down with support requests that I didn&#8217;t feel like opening my email. As time went by I slowly got my clients sorted out and then I vanished from the Internet Marketing game.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; I absolutely LOVE taking care of my clients! I just got flooded with software support requests that I lost interest in doing my marketing stuff.</p>
<p><strong>Why am I telling you all this?</strong></p>
<p>I want you to know that I have learned from my mistakes. Yes I will eventually be offering the software we are developing to a select group of players, but when I do not know. This software is pretty neat and has features no other Internet Marketing software has to date, but I want to make sure it&#8217;s 100% tested and that support ressources are in place before I release it.</p>
<p>I also want you to know that I am no guru marketer. I am a regular guy with a mission to succeed online. Much like you I pressume <img src='http://www.NickMartin.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I just happen to have discovered a really cool way to teach other people how to make some money online and I want to share that with you.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading!</p>
