    Hi guys,

    Would love for you to share your experiences as an internet marketer so far.

    Writting articles has been one of my biggest challenges so far.

    What could make your life easier ?

    Getting started.

    My life would be made easier by a service that sets everything up, ready and running for me and collects charges for that service only when I make sufficient profit as an internet marketer. Hmm ........

    My biggest challenge at the moment is time management. I find it hard to juggle everything that i need to do and fitting it all into one day.

    I really need to get myself a VA

    Or cut out the least profitable activities and make some spare time. We all do unproductive and often unwanted things that are just [or comparatively] a waste of time.

    Do a thorough analysis of how you spend your time and I am sure that you can find something to eliminate.

    Staying motivated is the biggest challenge, especially when you are not making the money you expect.

    Recently, I just made the transition from the job market to working from home on a full time basis. Must admit, never really had a job that was difficult. Since college, had a full time position with Penguin Books, based out of London. They later merge with Viking press. Boy was that fun!

    Had an air travel card, and travel around the world. When I came home to the states The company gave me a car, and expense account. I traveled through Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Later became the regional manager, and move on to various other Marketing Positions.

    Can tell you this, working from home is fun also, but let warn you. It’s not what you think it is. A typical day for me starts with getting up at 4:30 in the morning, and making a pot of coffee, and walking the dog.

    Hate doing the technical stuff, so I outsource all most all of it. Spend all day writing, and writing, until about 9:30 or 10:00. But, I love every moment. Work on Saturday and Sunday sometimes, but not all day. Don’t watch TV, maybe the news while having a glass of wine.

    Now, here is the fun part. The freedom!! Whenever my wife I want to, pick and go. We did it the week before Thanksgiving, we went up to Foxwoods, and stayed at the MGM Grand

    Have a laptop, and while she is sleep I work (LOL) well what are going to do? If I had to give someone advice on how to achieve this, it would be this. Just start writing everyday, and keep during it as long as you can. Write in forums, message boards, you name it. If you are not a good writer than take a basic writing course, and get going.

    In the mean time if you have any questions, just email me. Glad to help anyone.

    Trying to figure out how to generate traffic at a time when no one seems interested in buying marketing products.....or anything else, for that matter.

    Hey Ian,

    I don't sleep sleep much, but I don't sit at this computer all day either. Today, is a good example. I play golf. Worked with my pro for one hour in a swing room.

    The good part is I can step away anytime I like. If you are telling people that it is easy, than you must be selling a dream. I have not spent much time on this forum, but I've be around for awhile. I don't recall anyone saying it was easy, yet. Some days I work better than others. I work until 9:00PM!!

    trying to find the balance between traffic to you're websites and to market the product
    you are selling.
