Internet Marketing Blog

In regards to my last rant ...

Don't get the wrong impression, please.

It's not that I was annoyed with the posts by those seeking to 'make money Online' ...

On the contrary ... if one has the gumption to seek my advice, or the advice of others, I'll do what I can to honor their inquiries.

It's just the common consensus among many new to Online Marketing, that somebody is going to hand them the 'golden key' to Online riches ...

An expert or consultant can give you the tools to get started ... and advice along the way ... but it's up to YOU to make it work ...

It's YOUR business, and you must treat it like one if you want to succeed.

I gladly answer many an inquisitive post in numerous forums ... heck, that's part of my job! LOL

But what I give is advice, only ... I can't run your business for you (I have enough trouble keeping up with my own! ;) ...

Just wanted to make my statements a bit clearer to those that think I was bashing people for asking for advice ... it couldn't be further from the truth.

But advice ain't worth a plug nickel if you don't apply it ... and no $29.95 ebook is going to fill your mailbox and PayPal account with sales and commissions ... unless you do what it takes to make it happen.

In addition ... just like anything else ... Online Marketing has it's 'seedy side' ...

Those only out to make a buck off the unknowing newbie, with no desire to form a relationship with them ... sad.
That's why I recommend that anyone intending on doing 'the Online thing' seriously should take a step back and take in what's going on in their surroundings before diving into uncharted waters.

Catch you in the forums ... the water there is just fine. ;)
