Have you ever thought to yourself, "Can anything go right?"

Looking back over the past two weeks, that's exactly what's been going through my mind.

So here's the story…

I had a conversation with a friend who's been making a killing with video and Craigslist marketing. Personally, it always seemed like a lot of effort compared to buying media.

But his results made me take notice, so I thought to myself that in addition to PPC, maybe I will add this to my kick-start marketing plan. If you are wondering, my kick-start plan allows me to hone in my offer prior to making large media buys.

Ok, so I spent a day reviewing Craigslist marketing courses and having conversations with others on how to effectively market with video.

On the surface, this is simple enough.

Heck, this would be something good for one of my two assistants to manage during their down time. But before passing this along to them, I really wanted to make it work myself.

Whew… this stuff isn't as easy as it appeared!

My video marketing hasn't gained any ground in the past two weeks and every ad I posted to Craigslist was flagged and removed within an hour of posting it.

To say I was conservative on both is an understatement.

So am I giving up? Heck no…

What I AM doing is letting the experts help. I've prepared my campaigns for review by them and will let them see where I went wrong.

This brings me to a good point…

Join a mastermind, hire a coach, or make good friends with those that possess the skills you wish to gain or improve yourself. I'm an expert at PPC, media buying, and Blackhat SEO. I'm not an expert in Web 2.0 or Craigslist… so I sought out those that were and made alliances with them.

You should think about doing the same.

Enjoy,
