Working with successful people is what it takes to be successful, according to Davin Ogden. The real key to doing well in anything is to be networking. "If you can really get to know some of these people, their influence rubs off on you a lot."



Rob Toth is interviewing the top information marketers as part of Dan Kennedy's Info Riches course. Davin is one of the experts in that list. The series of interviews is called "Future Of Information Marketing".

Davin began his Information marketing career in 2006. He joined a mentorship program right from the start and saw success very quickly. Later he joined another mentor and continued his success.

The secret to making products that sell is that you have to "solve problems for people", says Davin. "There are thousands of untapped niches". "You need to hone in and target the niches."

Once you have found a niche you want to work in start networking and doing joint ventures.

Davin says "getting to know these (successful) people is not really tough". "It's not as difficult as people think." That one joint venture, that one friend you make can make a world of a difference to your business.

It may seem like an impossible situation but "a lot of these people are just as personal, they're just the same as anybody else and I know a lot of people getting started are really intimidated in trying to get close to some of these people but... you know there's a lot of really nice marketers out there that are willing to take you on and point you in the right direction and drive you a little bit further toward your goal."

Unfortunately "people just get their feet wet a little bit and they are just on the threshold of cutting through and get some success for themselves" says Davin. "Then they just seem to wander off and start doing something else or worse yet, they give up altogether". If they had a successful friend or work-mate they would keep going and end up successful.

"It's really sad to see people doing that. That's what I see happening a lot" says Davin. "I don't think people give themselves enough of a chance sometimes and it is really tough to start because there's a lot to learn." However, if they keep going in the right direction "it's all acheiveable".
