I've been marketing online for about five years. The last two with ever increasing success. Internet Marketing is a tough racket! If there is one thing that I would attribute to my success, I would say determination. Giving up was never an option. In spite of the pitfalls, quitting was never even a consideration. Each so called "failure" was a lesson learned, even though sometimes it took more than one lesson to learn! I have never enjoyed any "job" as much I enjoy internet marketing. This industry has absolutely rendered me "unemployable". There isn't much that irritates me, but offers to help me succeed do. Please don't send me friend requests offering me "success in 10 steps"... or offer to "mentor" me for "free". I find these "tactics" to be insincere and, frankly, a little annoying. We all know we are in business to make money. Don't be ashamed of that! Just sell good value. Always deliver more in value than you take in payment, but don't "pretend" that you aren't trying to make money! JMHO
