I agree and when looking to purchase anything, I go directly to a close friend or adivsor. I only shop by recommendation and spend most of my time researching the recommending source than the product. Once I find a brand or product I like, i stick with it. Great insight, I can't wait to read the 3rd paradox! WOW, very powerful.

I might have dozens of information products but my year is spent promoting two things - the course Podcast Secrets and the New Media Inner Circle continuity program. The more choices out there, the more I focus on these two things. Heck, this is why I don't teach content production in the Podcast Secrets program, and point people to Teleseminar Secrets instead to get that important first piece of the puzzle. If I were to say get it here, or there, or there, or there - they never will. When I explain TSS is THE place to get it - that's where they go.

We have found that actually offer less choice INCREASES sales, but must be done systematically and with avid stat gathering. We also market to specific personality types, using the conversational styles of each Color Style - works great! Thanks again Alex!

When I saw your email "3 Marketing Paradoxes" I knew I had to drop everything and pay attention to your blog postings. I actually read the Paradox of Syndication 3 times, and each time the light bulb beamed brighter in my imagination!! I totally agree with you and Glenn Dietzel. My mind is racing as I am mentally noting the things I am going to do and also the things I am going to do differently. (Can't wait for your Teleseminar Secrets starting Dec 8) I believe deep down that the timing of this blog post is not an accident. We have an awesome God. I believe that when we seek and seek with all our hearts, we will find! Blessings to you Alex. Cindy Alex, this is amazing.

I've been talking about this principle for several years but never articulated nearly as well as you have here. Thanks! Larry Crisp Alex,

I find I keep doing the research and not making the decision. Keeps the dollars in my pocket but stunts the growth opportunities! It's been a lifelong habit, so will be hard to break. I'm looking forward to reading your Paradox of Syndication.

I find I keep doing the research and not making the decision. Keeps the dollars in my pocket but stunts the growth opportunities! It’s been a lifelong habit, so will be hard to break.

I’m looking forward to reading your Paradox of Syndication.
