So, You Think You Can Be An Internet Marketer...

By Tom Harvey

I am glad for you! You are taking the right steps for a new future. But, before we get carried away, lets analyze your driving factors and pitfalls you should know about: FIRST, THE DRIVING FACTORS:

INDEPENDENCE: We all want this, and now we can have it in internet marketing. Yes you most definitely can have a greater level of independence as an internet marketer than you can have with a conventional 9-5 or 7-3 or Midnight to 7 job.

FREEDOM: You now have the freedom to move about as you wish without the hassles of fighting the crowds, wheter it is clothes shopping, grocery getting, or kicking it down at the beach or whrever. So much freedom in just picking you time and taking off. This goes hand and hand with independence.

COMMUTE: We all want to get rid of that work comute. For sure, the commute from your bedroom to your home office is short and the commute is figured in minutes or even seconds as opposed to getting in the car, on a bus, train or whatever.

You want to talk about limitless, there is so much earning potential for makey fat cash on the internet that the chances are limitless. I bet you don't have that on you midnight to 7 job you got.

PERSONAL SATISFACTION: Once you start generating even a small amount of income as a direct result of your effort, you will have a great sense of satisfaction and increased sense of self worth.

Now lets examine some of the traps, pitfalls and time wasters:

DISCIPLINE: Keep in mind to yourself, this is a new time for you and you must look at this like and new venture: A: you are now in your own business and you must treat it as such. B: Initially you will probably spend longer hours figuring out the whole process. Food for thought... The concepts are fresh to you and you must learn new things here to succeed.

You must truely realize the axion of "time is money" and use your time and computer for the money making potential that both present to you. You must therefore exercise a greater amount of discipline to the ways your time is spent.

INDEPENDENCE: When you have chosen the right program, product or whatever that is now generating income for you along with mastering the net. This is when you will get your independence.

FREEDOM: Remember: The results that you get from your new Internet Marketing Business will be a direct result of the effort that you put into your new business. But, and this is a big BUT for every hour you spend away from the computer, you must consider making that time up at other times during the day. Be it very early in the morning or later at night. So, the freedom to come and go at will is always there for you.

TENACITY and DETERMINED MIND SET: This internet marketing business could, and I say could, take off like a rocket in just a few short days. Be realistic: plan on a few months. Anywhere from 3 to 6 months before you see any tangible results. But remember, from the little acorn, so grows the mighty oak.

DONT GET DISCOURAGED: You will come to the point of no return, where the pavement hits the dirt and you are exhuasted. Exhuasted from you efforts and feel as it you cannot look at that computer one more time because all your work is producing no results. You make a choice, the choice to give it ONE MORE TRY! You are now at the onset of turning a corner and making the income that you have worked so hard for. - 15485
