Are YOU Giving 6 Dollar Haircuts?

[dubberz25]

"I got myself all worked up today over nothing.
I must have wasted a good 2 hours of productive
time thinking about this, and I decided it's time
to bring this up in the forum.

Here's why I'm so mad... I'm starting to see 6
dollar haircuts EVERYWHERE! Oh wait, you don't
know what I mean by 6 dollar haircuts, do you?
Well listen to this story. I guarantee you'll
never forget it.

Once upon a time, there was a very successful
barber who had a thriving business. He was well
known in his city for giving top notch haircuts
for only 10 dollars. His customers loved him,
because he was giving extraordinary value for a
fair price. He was truly giving people MORE than
they paid for.

One day, the barber got into a disagreement with
one of his customers (who happened to be a
wealthy, corporate executive). This customer was
SO angry at the barber, that he decided to open
up a brand new barber shop right next door, and
make every attempt to put him out of business.

He put up a HUGE sign in his window that said,
"We Give 6 Dollar Haircuts". Within 2-3 weeks,
almost all of the barber's customers were going
to his competitor's place in order to save money.

There was no way he could charge only 6 dollars
and still stay in business, but he was determined
not to go out of business. So he came up with a
plan to fight back.

He decided that he would also put a big sign in
his window that would counter what his competitor
was trying to do to him. Within ONE WEEK the
barber had all of his business back, because of
that sign. Can you guess what the sign said?

We FIX 6 Dollar Haircuts!

Here's how this relates to us as Internet
Marketers. I see all sorts of websites popping up
and selling cheap garbage products. It seems like
just about anyone who has a thousand bucks in his
pocket can hire a ghostwriter to create a
mediocre "me too" product. Those products usually
don't have any really valuable content.

It's all just generic fluff. In fact, often it's
just reworded forum posts that were transformed
into an eBook.

How can someone who's JUST getting started in
this business teach you how to make money in this
business? If you want to get into to Internet
Marketing business, then buy the reprint rights
for a proven, high quality product that actually
makes a difference in people's ability to make
money.

Don't just go out there and devalue the market by
selling 9.95 "flea market quality" eBooks.

I'm just wondering... how do YOU feel about
"cookie cutter" cheapo products? Do you think
they have any value? The only value that I can
really see is that they make people who really DO
pour themselves into their product... look much
better.

What are your thoughts?

Warmly,

Daniel
