Woo Hoo!!! Episode 50.
To celebrate, I invited Pat Flynn back on the show to rap about getting started on line.
Pat and I spend some time talking about some of the things that really bother us about the internet marketing industry. One of those things is people that take advantage of new marketers that are just trying to get started. We have advice for people who are just getting started online and we also have some tips for people who need money now.

Episode 050 Transcript
It is the big 5-0! They said it couldn’t be done and here I am, Late Night Internet Marketing Episode 50 and I am fired up.
I was thinking, “What can I do for episode 50?” I know I had planned from the guy at GoToGeo, but we’re going to have that next week when we’ll have some updates on the Corn Sheller Site and all that great stuff. But I got to thinking, “What am I all about here? It’s episode 50, I get to do whatever I want.” I decided I wanted to call Pat.
So I have Pat on the phone and we’re just going talk about getting started in internet marketing and maybe reminisce a little bit about stuff that was going on back in 2007. Maybe some of this stuff will inspire you and help you a little bit. I know it inspires me every time that I talk to Pat. He’s such a great friend and he dropped everything that he was doing tonight to get on the phone with me at the last minute. I really appreciate that and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed it myself.
Great episode Mark and Pat. I trust you survived your 5 am conf. call Mark – was that with the Nova Scotia branch? Wow. My big takeaway on this show was the principle of not expecting overnight riches, aka — this won’t replace your monthly income tomorrow – particularly if you have a desperation mindset, which so many do unfortunately.
I’ve stated before — I’m hot and cold on Pat’s Monthly Income Report. I do believe it’s a completely honest and motivating publication from someone trying to help others. The problem is — the numbers are so staggering (particularly the BlueHost income) – it can become counter-productive.
It’s unfortunately kind of like the old multi-level marketing days when the top income earners would wave their 5 figure check in front of crowd to show them the possiblities, and then scream that “you can’t do this overnight, it takes hard work” etc. – except everyone had stopped listening to that part. I guess I conclude there’s good and bad to it – take the good and move on. Thanks again Mark and Pat.
Thanks Kent.
I agree with you on most things, and I see your point on Pat’s income report. But I don’t agree that the fact that people can have a counter-productive mindset is an argument for not doing the income report. In fact, that counter-productive thinking is an argument for people transitioning to a more abundant mindset.
I do know what you mean about MLM. That makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
The thing is, Pat is not saying that you can duplicate his success with SPI. MLM guys said do what I did and get what I got. Pat never says that — He does not teach that people should duplicate SPI. He is saying that you can duplicate his success with stuff like SecurityGuardTrainingHQ.com, and I think people really can. He is also talking about what works for him. But he is not saying “be like me” and make $50K/month. That is what the MLM guys did.
Just my take.
Really appreciate your support and thoughtful comments.

Mark,
Great show! Loved the Bill Clinton into… I’m going to guess that was you (since it still says something about a Bill Clinton voice on Skype) lol. Post that on Fiverr and I’ll buy that gig!
On a slightly more serious note, a huge congrats on 50 episodes!!! Huge milestone! You and Pat are juggernauts of the Internet world and I’m a better entrepreneur because I listen to you guys.
Mark,
Once again, great content! You never let me down.
By the way.. I assume that was you doing the Clinton impression? Epic!
You and Pat are internet Juggernauts, keep up the awesome work!
LOL — nope. Believe it or not, that was a Fiverr gig!!!
Thanks for the kind compliment. Appreciate your support very much!
Congratulations on the 50th episode ~ very enjoyable episode 🙂
Thanks! You think the episode is great, you should see the transcript!!!
I just left a review on itunes. Another great episode..
I personally respect Pat Flynn so much. He is one of those few internet marketers who know what they are doing and i was really sorry for him when his SPI went down and was really happy when he managed to solve the issue and get it back after 12 days. Thank you Mark and thanks Pat.
Yep — Pat is definitely one of the good guys. And I know he appreciates your support.
Thanks Ali.
