Internet Marketing for me was a chance to be free from the burden of having to punch a clock or miss my little baby girl growing up! When I first was hooked by the possibility of making money online and how I could be a millionaire in 5 minutes or less .. I was excited with grand illusions of making it big. I soon found that that was a pie in the sky dream and that anything worth having is worth working for! Soon after I signed up for my first "5 minute millionaire" membership for just the one low fee of $199 dollars I was hit by the next offer from the same guy with his all new package that going to make me rich beyound my wildest drams for another $49 dollars..... I was on my way to stardom with the fancy cars, dream vacations and cash in the bank by the vault full! I signed up for every bodies tell all book and zine that had all the hottest tips and tricks! And with those signups came another thousand ideas on how to strike it rich if I ONLY HAD THAT PRODUCT! And then as I began to learn that everyone is jumping on this new idea that Peter Cottontail had that was making people rich beyound their wildest dreams in the next 30 day I just had to have it ... I craved to know more and to know all I could! If only....... If only I could just have this program or that Master Money Makers course it would make me rich ... As thoughts of panic ran through my mind of "what if?" What if I let that great deal pass by me and its my winning ticket .. I couldnt take that chance .... I had to have it! Well as time went by I found that I was fooling myself ... I found that really and truly there is but one way to launch an internet business that will last .. And that is hard work and persistance ... I am not saying that all these people that are offering are not good , but realize this when you read their sales letter and about how much you can make in 30 days and the testamonials of how people who tried this offer made big dolls in just 30 days! Those people usually already have an establised list or base of visitors or some strong presence on the web or They jumped in and applied themselves 1000% In short the point is no one is going to make you rich or build that super life for us .. They are happy to sell us a package to show us how! But its up to us to really really bust our butts and be persitant. Because lets face it! It's not easy .. because if it was so easy everyone would be doing it and everybody would be millionaires a
Yes, ebooks/courses/ezines etc. can help us. But the bottom line is still, you gotta do it yourself! I started way back when and today, still starting as new methods, new ways, appear. Got to be flexible also...if something is not working for you, find out why and change it if you need to. Like adsense...so many people put up adsense ads and then whine because they are not making money. Instead of whining, find out why no visitor is clicking on the ads. Could be a ton of reasons, but you got to find out why and make changes where needed. Learn to earn!
Yes that is good advice you give there Dawg ... what you say is true Kinda like its not what you do , its how you do it!
NO, Its because there are alot of newbies who can use some good thoughts and advice and I had hope that this "old" but "good" information might just help someone. I can't win - if I make new posts I am spamming the forum - I am just hoping it might help someone else. Should I have re-written the same post and posted it? the information is good and is useful to others who may actually be coming to the forum to learn!
