Dear Sergey
Do I understand you correctly?
The problem is really... as I see it, The CIS (former soviet) mostly :-). Has not YET lost it's virginity to the Internet; this is not a problem for the people of CIS but more a problem for the advertisers, who want to get in.... Right?
Russia and many ex- states of Soviet was flooded by pyramid scams right after the big break, many people lost time.....hope….and money, Therefore advertising to an Russian community and an American is not the same. To a Russian (CIS) citizen you tell the truth without glitter, the bare truth, AND expect nothing.
An American or Vest European likes to get it with cream and glitter. And a little lie… Sign up and earn 340.000 pr. day after 4 days of intensive learning. And people sign up, thinking “ok maybe not 340.000 but less can do” Yes less CAN do, but does people get the help they need, NO. Why should they? They signed up, information has been passed on or income has been generated.
:-) EVER seen ANYTHING like that before? It’s there I’ve done it, many does every day, But very little form the CIS. They have been taught the hard way.
I can’t read Cyrillic, but I will try to get my Ukrainian wife to translate it tomorrow. IF, I can sell the idea to her. ;-)
My thoughts:
Content true content, no glitter just the bare truth. Tell just tell, don’t sell, show your soul, your thoughts about your “thing”. Make YOUR passion the carrier of a long and mutual beneficial, lasting relationship.
That’s what I’m doing, and it is still tuff. NOBODY believes anymore. Words are useless, worn down by heavy hitters, and spammers. And you need to modify your words; otherwise you mails are blocked by spam-filters. The Internet will last for many years yet, but advertising on the net, will be increasingly more difficult for every month. ++ Many people believes really that “income will come overnight” or “you need NOT to do anything” :-) ever seen that?? I have!
Sergey, thanks…. Your lines started a snowball; I have to pull my self away.
I think because… it is not so much about how to communicate /advertise to the Russian Internet, but why did the rest loose their virginity. Greed???
Looking forward to the next issue.
