Are You Embarrassed By your Traditional Internet Marketing Skills? Here’s What to Do.
Many coaches and new online business owners put your hard-earned money into traditional internet marketing strategies that simply no longer work.
Have you been doing the following:
- Holding court at cafes to accost strangers in the hope of signing them up or selling them your product.
- Waiting on Attendees for a product party and only your family is in attendance?
- Do you hope to sign up strangers at your kids’ school gate?
- Has your upline told you to knock on all your neighbours’ doors or drop your newly printed business cards in every door within a mile of you?
- Maybe you made that list of 100 friends and alas, none of them are even remotely interested!
- Are you busier than a one legged man in an arse-kicking contest…? 🙂
My dear welcome to traditional network marketing techniques that No Longer work! I know, it sounds harsh. Yet, I have been there, done that and know that they do not work as effectively anymore…WHY though?
Its because everyone and their pet pooch are on the good old world wide web and/or social media…
Yes the Old Style original Traditional Internet Marketing techniques are stuck in the 80’s door salesman mode and no longer work as well either…What?

Now, before we look at why traditional internet marketing doesn’t work, let’s first answer the question,
“What is internet marketing?”
The intent of internet marketing is to promote business services and products to a target audience. Basically, internet marketing means you use strategies to connect digitally with your Target audience and market ONLINE where they are found and spend a significant amount of their time.
Internet marketing covers a rainbow of techniques that may include:
- Email Marketing
- Content Marketing
- Blogging
- Social Media Marketing (SMM)
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
- Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising and so much more

Okay Julie, Why Doesn’t Traditional Internet Marketing Work?
Here is the deal, what worked yesterday, may not work as well, or take a lot more work to get results…And to Get Results, you need the following:
Skills, Creativity
Systems and Resources
Technical know how
Marketing psychology
Strategic planning
Business processes
In other words an eco-system that helps bring your desired results…
If you don’t have the above whether on or offline then success may take a lot longer or elude you! Or you have an expensive hobby. Sadly many internet marketers dont even begin to understand this or bother to try!
And you probably don’t have time to spend hours every day mastering marketing. (while keeping up with what works… which literally changes on a monthly basis) and running and managing your business.
Besides, what makes matters worse, most training found online is probably at least 6 to 24 months out of date. That means you are constantly playing catch-up: assuming you know what is outdated.
And, also because; you don’t know what you don’t know…This right here is a dangerous place to be in any business…
That’s why people often hire a Coach or Consult an “expert”. Get Help my Friend. QUESTION IS … Who should you trust?
Most “Trainers” or “training programs” have a one-size-fits-all approach to online marketing. Usually it’s either social media heavy, or content marketing heavy…Blogging, do videos etc…
And as you may have experienced, it can be ineffective for your specific Needs. Don’t get me wrong, you can have Limited success, but ultimately you find yourself back on the grind, looking for the holy grail of A continuous flow of sales…
So, If Traditional Internet Marketing is dead – What Works?
In my personal experience 5+ years, following numerous trainings, videos, content consumed, and results achieved; I know that to succeed, You need to follow a proven path. And to do this you could and should hire an Experienced Consultant or COACH.
Someone who actually can step back and look at ALL the pieces. Evaluate your goals and challenges, and work with you to develop a successful strategy.
And I know we have been known to do that for other coaches and online marketers. We can help you do that…if you fill out our very short form at Juleskalpauli.com/consult
As an internet marketing and high performance coach with years of experience, I have developed a wide range of skills. I have an advantage over traditional marketers because of my unique background.
As a former Legal practitioner and a Corporate Housing and Construction professional in UK, I have over 15 years of solving client problems. For some of those years I was a surveyor, so can look at problems from a technical angle.
I have been a manager – managing million-dollar programs. In addition, I have expertise in optimizing systems in both management and construction.
Personally, I have years of experience in investing and managing rental properties. With all the ups and downs, I’ve been in your shoes. I understand what it is like to be on your side of the table. OFFLINE and ONLINE.
And that’s just for starters.
Now back to the matter at hand. I also have years of experience in internet marketing.
That’s why I can legitimately say I have a different way of solving Your Lack of Coaching Clients or Challenges in your “internet marketing or small business”.
Fundamentally, it’s all about designing the right plan for YOUR business, and then executing that plan to help you achieve your business needs.
As equally important, I can help you anticipate where marketing trends are heading. That way, in terms of your competition you’re in the lead, and not falling behind, we gotta stop the catch-up game for you!
Here is How It Works

From those recommendations, together with a coach you decide what type of service best suits you:
- Do It Yourself – you decide yo are going to learn everything via free means yourself. Or buy a “Boxed Course.” And do it Yourself and hope for results!
- Done with You (combination of consulting and Done for You services)
- Done for You (where together with your coach you come up with a plan, and then it’s executed on your behalf).
- Consulting (pure consulting)
You can meet your Coach in person if local to you, virtually or by phone to strategize on the best marketing approaches for your business. This can and should also include email or text correspondence to help ensure that everything is on track.
Done For You Services

Having a great marketing strategy is definitely key. These days you have to think outside of the box some.
Hey Ruth,
There is NO BOX dear, so we think in freedom to attract what we desire 🙂
This is indeed one of the best of out of the box strategies that can really help in our business. I don’t do networking but I keep an eye for new trends and tweak as necessary as it is especially when it comes to build a business. Great Idea.. thanks for sharing, Jules.

Great article Julie. Without an Ecosystem you will have to spend loads of time and effort figuring it out yourself. It’s best to leverage on a coach.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ade,
A serious business owner must have an ecosystem to ensure the smooth running of said business. And every Successful entrepreneur has a Coach and mentor! 🙂
This is a great article. There are so many people I need to send this to. Change can be scary, but if you want to grow, you have to be able to adust.
Hello Lynn,
Feel free to share and Thanks for having that generosity of heart to help others grow and for stopping by! 🙂
Julie Syl
Share away Lynn and Thank you for that heart! 🙂
This is exactly why I am getting out of the MLM sales business. I am not cut out for keeping up with trends and just don’t have time to market myself in the manner I need to be successful. I am going to put my time and effort into to other passions.
Hello Sarah,
Sorry to hear that you are walking away from the MLM space. As long as you are not walking away from your Vision! We made a Decision to Transition into Coaching 3 years ago and We haven’t looked back. MLM is a People business, yet people refuse to work together. For various reasons. Plus most MLMers Fail to understand that they are in a Business for Themselves and Have to create an ecosystem to attract the right people, serve them and make a ROI!
We help people monetize their passion Sarah, so if you need help in tat direction feel free to learn more here https://www.juleskalpauli.com/predictable Good luck in your new journey! 🙂
Julie Syl

You are most welcome Alexis 🙂
It’s so true. Traditional marketing just DOES NOT WORK. Even old-school web-marketing doesn’t work. In my opinion, the future is in mobile compatibility and Social Media.
You have got it Danielle.
The reality is most marketers are dabbling…and our Mission is to help more committed marketers find their north star and impact more people with your products/services 🙂
Totally agree.Great tips! We must always keep up with the new trends. If a strategizing is a constant battle every time. Gearing up with new knowledge is necessary.
Thats what we are talking about Jake. One must have a strategy and if it seems off base, a change is called for. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I know that old ways of doing things no longer work the way they once did. I certainly realize that times are changing and it makes things difficult to know what to do. And I certainly could use help. That’s great you are reaching out to help others in this way to make improvements and grow the way they want to grow.

Sounds like you provide a very useful service! These things change so fast it’s really hard to keep on top of the trends.
Yes we do Caitlin, thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I SO needed to read this!!! I really appreciate all your tips to help me market my business in a more productive way!
You are most welcome Shell and glad you get value <3 🙂
Awesome information. I agree we must always keep abreast of the trends and tweak as necessary. If a strategy is no longer working, then we must adapt to the changes and keep traffic flowing in. Reminds me of the quote – “The only thing constant in this world is change.”
That quote is spot on, for change is part of the journey of life. And we humans choose to pick what we want from it, and call the rest “RISK” lol!
Glad you got value! 🙂
Internet marketing is one of the best marketing strategies. People nowadays is more on Social Media so we should take the opportunity to catch their attention,
Exactly Kelly,
because people are on Social media to SOCIALIZE, we marketers have to Educate, Entertain and Empower them, so they dont consider our material so much sales as Info that they value and need! Leading to a product that they desire 🙂
Love the little commentary on accosting people in cafes and only family showing up to product parties. I have a cousin who does MLM full time and have been trying to get her to switch up her marketing techniques for a long time now. I’ll have to send her this post, thanks!
Ashley,
Its all from painful lessons and experience for sure! Yet from that we learnt that it doesn’t work 🙂 Old style Marketing techniques only work if one s willing to go all out and get the number sin irrespective of their time and health and the excessive amount of ejection you get…For So Little Results! The only thing that can and sill works is Tap-Rooting. And I can and do it via Online means! 🙂
Hope your cuz gets value too!
Julie Syl
Between both my blog and my direct sales business, this is a wonderful post to read! It’s especially important to have online marketing since that’s where a majority of my target audience is.
Hey Stephanie,
Glad you stopped by and that you got value. Online is where its at..Thing is how do you navigate that space…a Blueprint is necessary and the sooner one gets it the better for their business!
got to change with the times if you want to keep up and stay relevant! It is tough doing it on your own and coaches would be nice so you don’t have to spend hours and hours figuring everything out (it gets exhausting!)
I would love a marketing coach someday!
Success comes from Teamwork whether consciously or not. And we know learning from one who has been there and done that is an age old custom. Its just gotten priced up 🙂
It’s amazing how quickly things change – especially when it comes to the internet. You’re so right that it’s important to keep up and move on when old ways no longer work!
Yes Lois,
We have to keep abreast of things or keep company with people who do. That way we know whats going on sooner rather than later.
This line made me laugh out loud “Holding court at cafes to accost strangers in the hope of signing them up or selling them your product.” I thankfully have never been that person, since I started working for myself. I am so glad that that type of thing is going downhill!
Hello Angela,
I used to do that sadly and I know it was the most frustrating days, because I didnt have the real balls to approach the strangers. So I spent dollar and drank rank coffee 😀
Julie Syl
