My two passions on the Internet are marketing and e-commerce.
I have done many jobs in my life, but working on the Internet
enables me to enjoy the freedom of staying at home with the
family and grand kids.
I have been working full time on the Internet since late 2005.
My work has included several e-commerce websites builds and
Internet Marketing in many forms.
And yes, I too have visited the dark side and made many a donation
to those programs that seem to just go Poof..... after the money
is received, or keep dangling that proverbial carrot in your face
until your wallet is empty.
Lots of good hardworking folks out there in cyber-land trying to
carve out a niche and make a living. There is also no shortage
of lions, tigers and bears..... oh my!
If I can help anyone avoid some of the pitfalls I have experienced
it is well worth the effort. I try to only market products or services I use,
there is a history or it has been recommended by someone I trust...
(Promote what you use, and use what you promote)
There is NO Golden Goose. Yes some are very lucky and gain position
in a program and literally make a bundle quickly. Internet marketing
reminds me somewhat of Las Vegas where every one gets mesmerized
by who has the brightest lights or the fanciest marquees.
The difference is you go in to Vegas knowing full well they do not
have your best interest in mind, and you know you will probably
loose money.. BUT still hope for the best...
In contrast with Internet marketing you go in all pumped up, excited
and optimistic with visions of a wheelbarrow of cash. Fully expecting
to be a winner.. AND THEN it happens.. someone sticks a pin in your
balloon, (figuratively of course), and it's reality slapping you up side the head!
Then, with any luck, the clarity will come and you learn how to focus,
focus, focus instead of hop, hop hopping from one program to the next.
