I'm proposing that most internet marketers go through these basic stages. Agree or disagree? Contemplating stage - The are not doing anything relating to internet marketing or using the web to make money Want to make money quickly - He/she Know nothing about how to make money online, but tries not realizing it takes work, time, and maybe money. Get rich quick promises seem very tempting Realizes they know little and have to learn - They failed once, maybe a few times and realize that while they may be able to make money it isn't a get rich quick environment AND they have to learn how to do it. They may or may not abandon their attempts to make money online once they enter this stage. They regroup and try again while also focusing on learning how to do the work. experienced - They know at least the basics and have at least one thing making some money with potential for earning enough to make enough money to justify the time they put in each month. I'm thinking most of us in this forum fit into the 3rd category, with a few still in the second. Please let me know if you agree or disagree. I'm also curious which one you fit into. What places in here am I wrong or partially wrong?
These seem fine; but most (almost all) people here will never get past the 2nd stage. I would change stage 3 to say that it usually is something like; realize that you have no idea about money making at all; you either know you have to learn and learn OR (like most do) get/keep a job and don't try again OR fall back to stage 2 and get into more get rich quick schemes
