Profit, Stay Away! Give Me Tips to Stop Making Any!

In the business world there are so many products that can complement your product if you look for them. You don’t want to do that because by finding a strategic business partner you will increase your sales ratio. You don’t want profits, and aligning with someone will increase the chances their customers will spill over to your products and result in too many sales.

Perhaps one day a partner will come knocking at your door; you want to look for ones that don’t have the same objective. An example of this is when you sell computer parts and the other partner sells perfume. This method is a sure win-win solution to decreasing profits. Normally when you form a partnership with a business owner, you will trade leads, share marketing info and sell package deals that benefit both sides. However, you don’t want any profit, so you want to make sure any deal resulting from the partnership will fail to incite customer’s interest.

Whatever you do, don’t brand your name and business. One of the best ways to gather traffic to your site is by writing articles and submitting them to e-zines or web sites for republishing. You don’t want to do this because it is free advertising that too many people will see. Once people start to recognize you are indeed knowledgeable about your topic, they will flock to your website for more information. Never do this as it will increase your sales too much. And god forbid, once people see your article and love it so much that they will post it on their own sites. Imagine the horror of your link on dozens of website without you even doing anything other than submitting an article. What an awful mess, you might actually make some profits, noooooooooo!

Do you know eBay regularly pull in millions of customers in a day? Imagine the traffic if you decide to go and list (post) your product on the eBay website. Stop right there, you don’t want this. It is a good thing I warned you ahead of time because otherwise you will might make a mistake and market to the eBay market.

Another option I have seen people do is starting an auction on their web site. The types of auction they start are usually related to the theme of their site. Don’t go and start any auction on your site, you might draw traffic from auctioneers and bidders. Remember I gave you a warning, if you didn’t listen to me and went and do exactly the opposite of what I told you to do, you will generate some sales.

Everybody talks about time management. Who cares? We don’t want to make any profits. Spend all your time playing games and procrastinating. Remember don’t take a little time out of your day or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually the difference between success and failure. You don’t want any profits, so don’t spend any time on your business.

There are so many people who are successful. Isn’t it disgusting? Who want to make so much money? However, we can use it to our benefit. Make sure you model the exact opposite of other successful business or people. What you can do in this case is notice some of the habits that have made them successful and do the exact opposite of what they do. You see, successful people are useful in some way.

It has been proven over and over again. There is no use denying it, hype words works brilliantly in converting sales. In advertisement, using emotional words such as love, security, relief, freedom, happy, satisfaction, fun, unbelievable, shocking, fantastic… etc. have the ability to make your customers act with their hearts rather then their mind. Unfortunately for you, the majority of people buy with their hearts rather than their mind and sales people play up to it. Well guess what you don’t have to put up with this. Why is that? It’s because you are not looking for sales.

Trust me, if you do everything I written, you have my guarantee that you won’t make any profits.

Good luck, because we all hate profits here!!
