    What I mean is that is it not like being a doctor
    or a lawyer where you have to do a lot of reading
    and studying...

    Over the pass 6-7 months of working online, I
    realize that all it takes is hard work and action.

    Is it not as complicated as I though... you don't
    have to be really intelligent or creative... just
    determined and alway taking action.

    In time, the money just roll in from your work. So
    if you can find a way to keep yourself motivated
    and never give up, then you're gonna make a nice
    income from the internet.

    I have wanted to quit more than once but managed
    to keep myself motivated each time :)

    Of course, not everyone can be successful at it if
    they aren't doing something they don't enjoy.

    Does anyone feel the same about Internet Marketing?

    or maybe I 'am wrong?

    Marketing is more than the action. Marketing is planning, knowing your customer, accessing your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT), and much more. It's possible to get lucky at marketing by doing what the crowd does, however, you are doing yourself a big disservice by not getting the "bigger picture" in business: learning to deal with customers, employees, market changes, future predictions, and more.

    I would have to say a relative level of skill and personality type is required to be good at any marketing. You can get much further in your internet marketing with proficient communication skills, a keen eye for a deal, and the ability to watch trends for market changes and etc.

    If you're not good at it you MIGHT get lucky... but really, you can get lucky and win the lottery. Go figure?

    I agree about the "constant action" comment, though this could apply to any endeavor you are pursuing and not just internet marketing.

    I also think some people "get it" more easily than others. Internet marketing is all about understanding the numbersa and some people aren't wired for that but they are skilled at making deals over phone.

    In short...my opinion about your question of "feeling the same" is that it depends.

    Good luck!

    You don't need to be intelligent or creative, but it's generally those who are both that earn with most money ;)

    I wouldn't really say it requires "little skills". If it was that easy, don't you think there would be fewer people punching the clock?
