Chef Keem's review of "One Week Marketing" by PotPieGirl
February 27, 2009 in Featured, Making Money by Chef Keem
Our trusted and beloved lensmaster, PotPieGirl, has written a very good e-course about making money online, utilizing Squidoo and other free resource sites.
I bought it.
I use it.
I make money with it.
I love it!
Several lensmasters have bought OWM through my original review page: Squidoo – a good investment?
You have asked the obvious questions:
Why spend money if I can learn everything for free on Squidoo?
Don’t I know most of this already?
Come on, Chef – tell me your honest opinion about OWM. Is it really worth it?
Here are excerpts of my responses:
“You can learn anything you need to know about internet marketing – for free. PotPieGirl did it. It took her about a year and a half, working her butt off every day, into the night.
This is where the value of this course comes in – we don’t have to spend 18 months to research and study and fail and start over, etc., as PotPieGirl did. She gives us everything she knows in a concise form, with action plans and step-by-step instructions, so we can start immediately with our campaigns. Not bad, huh?
Even if you don’t want to get too deep into affiliate marketing (like myself, as I’m building my own brand), OWM gives you amazing tips in regard to more efficient Squidoo lens building, so you get found better online.
PPG never says that it’s an easy overnight success to make money from affiliate marketing. It takes work, time, and commitment. If you are willing to do the work, this course is a truly great investment. In addition, PPG is very accessible. You can always ask her questions, and she shares a lot of support through her blog. You won’t find this kind of support with many other such products.
To sum it up – the cost of the course might save you a year’s worth of work, if you’re serious about making money online through internet marketing.”

One of our most prolific Squidoo lensmasters replied:
“Thanks, Achim. I guess that’s pretty much how I assessed it from what I’ve read. Sometimes when I invest in products like this I think, “I could have written that,” but it sounds like Jennifer might have some really good tips that I don’t have, probably worth the price of admission (so to speak).
Still thinking about it but leaning more and more towards the purchase.”

I offered these thoughts:
“Sometimes, even though we know part of the offered program already, the insights and methods of a proven successful operator help us to “bring it all together” – our existing knowledge and new information.
We tend to get stuck with what we’ve learned on a certain path, leaving not much room for flexibility. You know how we sometimes need to get away from it all to gain a new perspective.
With OWM we have a proven method with exact steps to follow regardless of how our personal learning experience has pressed us into a narrow evolutionary path. For most of these steps we don’t really have to think too much for ourselves but just follow the guidelines and “do the work”.
The time we spend doubting ourselves, trying different methods, studying other people’s instructions and recommendations, is probably worth much more and wasted in huge proportions compared to the relatively low cost of this course.”

“That was a great analysis and explanation. I guess you could say her method might knock me smack out of my comfort zone, which would be a good thing.
Going to go order right now. Thanks!”

Another voice from our community:
“Dear Chef,
Last week I read your review/endorsement for PotPieGirl’s e-book The One Week Marketing Plan. I bought a few e-books when I first started on Squidoo, but was very unhappy with what I got.
I really like your lenses and I believe you’re an honest shooter so I took a chance and bought Jennifer’s book. While I don’t agree with everything she proposes, I learned a great deal. My lenses are more focused and traffic is up.
I would not have bought the book without your endorsement. I just wanted to say thanks.”
Good luck to all of you!

I picked it up too, (Thank you Jen) and I have high hopes for applying her good advice. I liked Potpie girl from the first time I noticed her, and she’s got excellent teaching skills, patience and a very mature approach. No stupid games with her, but serious skill building. Now more than ever it is the best time to do your web building effectively! I’ll let you know how it works for me when I’ve applied it all!
Great article Chef. I am still wary of paying for advice that might not come in handy, but at the same time I do need to find a way to make a lot more money than I currently am, It’s a real dilemma.
Chef Keem, I totally and completely agree with you! One Week Marketing is the best purchase I have ever made for my Squidoo business! It’s so dang practical and clear! I am committed to OWM for the year of 2009! And I plan to have big things to report at the end of the year!
Now that leg two of my journey is over, eg Giant 50- and now 100 lenses are completed–I will get involved in this.
Thanks for the reminder!!!
