I have been marketing on the Internet for about 15 years. I never did quit my day job because for one thing, Internet marketing is easy and can be done in a few evening hours and on weekends. It is my hobby and I love it. At the same time, the income growth in the past few years makes it increasingly difficult to keep the day job. I suppose that at some point I will be losing money working a 9 to 5. Until then, I’m having a great time.
Life comes down to a series of choices. Choose the wrong foods often enough and you will be fat. Choose the wrong lifestyle and you might not live long. Choose to join the herd by watching TV every night, and you will never earn a living online. Perhaps if there was 36 hours in day we could pull it off, but there isn’t, so that’s that.
When you are motivated and energized by the excitement of earning online, it is very easy to get to bed on time and to get up early. I can’t wait to hit the home office at 5:30 am to log onto Clickbank or other payment gateway to see what I made. And at lunch today I was reading Glenn Reynold’s book “An Army of Davids”. Early in the book he says, “there will be more empowerment for individuals willing to take advantage of the tools that become available.” You should read that again! It underscores everything I’ve always said about this business. If you have average skills and a desire to learn, then you can take charge of your destiny. If you are coachable, that’s even better. An Army of Davids is about how society is moving increasingly toward smaller and smaller niche markets. Its about how an army of small guys can move global economic policy. There is no more powerful force on this planet that people like you and me with a burning desire to succeed.
Today there are more and better success-getting tools than at any time in history. All you have to do is recognize opportunity, then take a half dozen baby steps. I remember scanning my first Clickbank cheque for $8.36! I was so excited. But as you hone your skills and zero in on what works, the single digits soon become double digits, then triple digits – and on it goes. I remember my first $500 day. I told my family that if I can do one, I can do two. And if I can do two $500 days, why can’t I just string a bunch of them together? What’s stopping me? What is holding me – or anyone – back?
You are limited only by what goes on in your head. It’s called baggage and you need to drop those bags right now because your future needs you to travel light! If you’re on the edge, you need to take action now and get in. The new mobile marketing opportunities are tuned exactly for you. Find a mentor you trust and start asking questions. If he’s good, he will help you. No one got to the top without help and most of them are only too pleased to return the favors. That is how life works.
