I am o riginally from Hamburg/ Germany and now live in Venice Beach, California with my wife Simi and my newborn son Quinn Keno Narayana.
My baby son has been the most wonderful, challenging and transformative influence ever to come into my life and his birth changed my whole life in a flash. All “shoulds†had suddenly become “musts†and the first result is, that I just founded a marketing company together with a few marketing friends and business partners, including a small army of programmers.
We are now working full pace on launching the first of a series of unique and large-scale Internet marketing related systems that all have one common, long-term vision they serve…
…but before I tell you about that, let me give you an idea of who I am ;-)
A Glimpse into a Funny Mind
I guess you can say I am kind of a strange person. I have a funny, dangerous mind that causes me to be very passionate about seemingly opponent things, claiming they were actually perfect matches…
One of these strange couples are for example Internet marketing and spirituality.
Sounds strange? Well, check back in a few days for my blog post titled “MARKETING VS. YOGA – Eternal Foes or Secret Lovers?â€. If you are interested in any of these two topics and don’t have a mind that shuts off when things get philosophical, I believe you will enjoy the read and have a smile or two followed by some insights…and you might get some quite practical ideas from it, too.
But for today, let me give you a glimpse into my mind by sharing with you my reason to be so passionate about Internet marketing, more precisely Internet affiliate marketing, which might be very contrary to your current associations with this topic. Please leave me a comment if you wish J
What got me here
Let me start with a brief background of the various studies I did that seem to have nothing to do with marketing, yet are of great influence and benefit for my work.
After majoring high school in English and philosophy I spent a year working with physically and mentally “challenged†children, a year working in social projects in Nicaragua and Guatemala, a year studying Politics and Sociology, a year living in a Yoga center for intense spiritual practices, a year studying Psychology and Metaphysics, a year teaching Yoga and Meditation, studying wealth and success principles (that are basically applied metaphysical knowledge) and running a center for cellular healing in Santa Monica/CA and a year…studying Internet marketing (roughly 25 hours a day ;-).
While even my parents used to think I had an issue getting something done, I have always known that there is a clear red thread for me connecting all of them, that they all contribute to a larger picture. I never finished any studies, because our educational system has a vertical orientation – producing experts in small niches – while my mind works horizontally. My passion is the integration of seemingly far apart topics, finding how and why they are actually interconnected, could immensely benefit from one another...and are simply missing a few pieces of the puzzle to make this obvious – and to creating something new and much larger than the sum of it’s parts…I love the large picture and I am passionate about finding the missing links and making purposeful use of them.
Sucked into the Web
When I started looking into Internet (affiliate) marketing, I got immediately fascinated by and absorbed in it and discovered a natural, passionate marketer inside this funny person called Raam.
Now if you have heard anything about Internet affiliate marketing, it probably wasn’t very positive, maybe even filled with words like scam, pyramid schemes, spam, get-rich-quick-lies, porn and gambling…and even if you are an Internet marketer yourself and thus have a more balanced, informed perspective, you will probably still see a lot of those undesirable outgrowths of this business that so overshadow its reputation.
And believe me, I’d be the last one to deny that the current reality of Internet marketing is not always a pleasant view – but this is because Internet marketing is extremely young and – as the Internet itself – has not developed sufficient feedback loops, quality filtering systems and ways to qualify content i.e., for those need time to develop. Internet marketing is still in what could be called its puberty...and that just comes with pimples, substance abuse and mood swings…
How Internet Marketing will impact everyone’s future
I am passionate about it, because of its potential, because of the magnificent “being†it can become – depending on who will manage to gain significant influence on its development.
For this reason I have initiated a company that is to play a significant role in the Internet marketing landscape in the near future and will inspire thousands to pursue Internet marketing as a noble (martial) art, the knowledge of which brings great power and responsibility (especially for those that market how-to products for Internet marketers and have a significant impact not just on the skill set, but also on the ethics and motivation of pretty much everyone that markets ..).
Why? Think about it. The Internet will soon become – maybe already is – the single most influential source of information on the planet, strongly impacting all areas of life and shaping our future and the future of our children. And Internet marketing is basically the art of spreading any chosen information (or its applied form – products) at an unproportional rate…
I hold up the potential of Internet affiliate marketing to bring financial independence and a dedication to constant conscious personal development to millions of people, to put the power of deciding upon which products, services, which knowledge and information are to succeed on the market and to spread on the planet into the hands of the consumers (that will become referrers of what they view to be of extraordinary value), to mock an educational system that has lost touch with reality and still claims a role it has long lost the justification for, to level the international economical playing field, breaking down the economical borders and making passion, vision and dedicated action - not place of birth and financial heritage - the main factors for success.
I know, I know - you wouldn't be the first to call me crazy. As you wouldn't be the first to hear my strange, dangerous mind's output and feel yours open wide…
…Your choice :-)
Why I market ..
Well, first of all, it's a whole lot of fun! It constantly challenges my creativity, my thirst for knowledge and personal development, my love for solving problems and strategic thinking and it gives me lots of excuses to brainstorm with friends...but I guess you figured there's more to my passion for it than that.
I may also use this section to keep "branding" myself as a strange guy by outing myself as not being in this business to make a fortune - although I have by now befriended myself with the fact that I will.
I submersed myself into this business, because I am dedicated to doing my part in making the magnificent potential of Internet marketing unfold, live and thrive and my personal mission is to create systems and membership sites that channel the efforts of all their users into the direction of the vision upheld, that inspire and empower their members to live a fulfilled, abundant life and to make a great contribution to the well-being of others and the future of our children, systems that create enormous feedback loops and strong communities with highest integrity, systems that help making internet marketing reflect the eternal universal laws in ink on your bank statement: As you give, so you shall receive - just much, much more of it, for the seed always multiply.
So what seeds do YOU choose to plant?
As it is known that small, dedicated groups of like-minded people, working hand in hand for the realization of a common vision, are - and always will be - the only source of true, lasting change, I have started teaming up with those like-mindeds of mine, as well as with a whole group of programmers to help the vision unfold.
I call upon all Internet marketers to become aware of the responsibility they have asked to receive - and to make proper use of it. Have a vision that is larger than your bank account. Let's be in this game to get rich beyond measure - but not ONLY financially. Your vision is the highest goal your efforts can possibly achieve – so choose well. Know that the size of your vision - that’s not your income goal, but whether your vision is egocentric, ethnocentric, world-centric or universal - determines the size of universal energy you have access to. You may not believe in such “new age†mumbo-jumbo, but that doesn't make it not apply to you. Look back in history and my point will prove itself...
Understand that the fact that Internet marketing is still very young also means that it still offers incredible opportunities to make money with what YOU are passionate about. Find your passion and your gifts you have to share, find a way to do so on a large scale - and you will make truckloads of money in this business…but as a mere side effect.
May you create the best day of your life...yet :-)
Raam
