Internet Marketing:
Can Anyone Make It Anymore?

The fact is that the majority of people are not just inherently lazy, they
are completely lazy mentally, physically and in ambition.
They do little more than the bare minimum in life and THAT
is YOUR great advantage!
It's utterly predictable...and works to your overwhelming
advantage in life.
Anyone and everyone can put up a website or a blog.
In 2011 it is ridiculously easy.
Your advantage?
KEYPOINT: How many people put up a website with the
INTENTION OF GIVING lots of cool or VALUABLE
STUFF to the people who will become customers?
Ah...now you have narrowed those 200 garages
down to one garage...down to the left side of
that garage...down to the back 5 rows of phone
books piled to the ceiling.
And that is where YOU will be.
That is square one....GENESIS....
It would still take a while to find YOUR
website randomly but it is now something that can be easily
accomplished by someone typing in YOURSTUFF or YOURINTEREST
at google...and they find you.
KEYPOINT: By creating a website with the intention to GIVE
PEOPLE WHAT IS HELPFUL, USEFUL,
VALUABLE, FUN, or GIVES PEOPLE MEANING...
you have created what WILL BE, to use an ancient internet phrase,
an authority website....the ONLY thing you have to do is follow through.
As you can see, the Online World is a very
competitive place. Far more competitive than
the real world, and that too is YOUR ADVANTAGE.
People FOLD under the choice of competition
or being inert...or doing something valuable...
You don't.
Running a simple and successful Online business of any kind requires
self-discipline. A lot of people will start an Internet business and
think that they can party all night, sleep until noon and then
make a living in 3 or 4 hours sitting in front of a computer.
They somehow think that the world is just going to line up on
their website and hand over money. It isn't going to happen.
The 4 Hour Work Week only exists in books and for people who have
already earned millions or get a regular check from the government.
I promise.
Internet businesses, at least at FIRST, do not run on auto-pilot.
NOTE: It is true that well-established businesses/marketers do not have to put in long hours on their businesses but it is a privilege
that that has been earned by putting in real life time up front.
I know a LOT of people who have made millions on the web.
Most still work as much as they always have because it's
fun, challenging, rewarding and exciting.
Others have long essentially retired at age 30, 40, 50, 60
and that's cool, too.
It didn't happen overnight for me, for others who have
succeeded and it won't happen overnight for anybody who works
with honesty and integrity.
Most people are totally unprepared for the
time investment that must be made in order for an Internet
marketing business (or any business for that matter) to become successful.
No Internet Marketing Business Background?
Successful businesses aren't accidents. The
proof is in the numbers....only 1% of new Internet businesses
are successful and only 10% are even still in existence after the first
120 days of operation.
And all of this is completely by choice of the person beginning the business.
It is not even reasonable to expect to make a true bottom line profit
from a new brick and mortar business for years.
Online?
I've seen amazing things happen insanely quickly. (Insanely quickly...
grammatically correct?)
It's MUCH easier Online. Your business literally can be profitable
from day one, but profit means you made more than you spent.
$10 profit is a profitable day. So is $1 or $5,000. And either of
those numbers are indeed possible with the right...or wrong strategy.
You literally just have to have one of two things:
You must have sufficient money OR CREATE TIME resources
available to not only launch your business but provide for your
own personal needs for an extended period of time.
It's called 'capital' (time and/or money)
and there is no way around the need for it.
What does it all come down to?
What are the Four Pillars? The specifics of the action plan?
