"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Internet Marketing ?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Internet vs. Real Estate? Those two things are very different.
However, I have a feeling that there will soon be a big shift to the Internet for Real Estate agents and agencies, etc. I was talking to someone a little while ago (financial expert or something like that), and he said that some predict that in 10 years a lot of real estate agents and agencies will be gone because of real estate sales on the Internet.
For example, you can buy land/homes through eBay. It may not be that popular of a choice yet, but a lot of websites that sell real estate are forcing agencies to get with the program.
The future of most sales is on the Internet.
I don't have experience with marketing real estate or stuff like that yet. But I do have a project coming along that would relate the two.
...so what do you think of Internet Marketing?
What conferences did you go to, who did you meet and talk to?
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

That's true. I misunderstood. Yeah, a website is real estate, definitely.Analytic said:
I agree, Warrior is too crowded and too many people have biased opinions based on what they are trying to sell you. I think it's okay at times, but it depends what you are really trying to do. Digitalpoint is better, yeah.
I also like Sitepoint, although that's geared more towards the back-end of websites, etc. But you can learn a lot.

The subject really stuck in my head, and I've found the concept very helpful...
Mark was explaining something called the TIO...The Irresistible Offer
When you're doing a product pitch, you have to sell the customer a glass, and then you sell them a second glass...something like that. Basically, you make your marketing pitch such that it's catchy enough to almost sound too good, and almost challenges yourself to deliver. But at the same time, you make sure you deliver enough that it naturally builds buzz about your product.
For example...Mark talked about how Dominos pizza used to have the "30 minute delivery or it's free" thing. It made Dominos pizza the #1 pizza chain in the world for a little while...just because of that irresistible offer. Some people would just get the pizza to see if they could get it for free. I remember it too.
But then I guess it was getting dangerous for the drivers to continue with it, so they stopped that marketing campaign. But the point is, it was an irresistible offer. I've learned a little to incorporate this on my ad copies / sales pitches for my ebooks online. For example, I do a "if you can show this doesn't work, I'll give you 200% of your money back" type deal.
Just some thoughts. Hope that helps. I'm still learning myself, so it's not like I got everything on lock...but I would definitely recommend Mark Joyner's material, Joe Vitale, and also Dan Kennedy...he has some good Internet marketing tips.
Good luck. Hopefully Analytic will pitch in with some tips too
He knows a lot more than me.
