Marketing secrets Mom forgot to tell me

This site is here for those people that are new to internet marketing and struggling to make sense of it. There are a lot of misconceptions that people have about coming online with the intention of making a fortune, and a whole lot of other people out there to feed your misconceptions about it, and monetize off your lack of knowledge and innocence. I have been involved for over sixteen years with online marketing and consider myself a veteran in the field. Only because my wife was right about me being the most stubborn man on earth, did I finally reach success.

• The only people that make big money on the internet are very hard working and are very creative people, this is a fact.

• (Big) doesn’t mean a company is honest.

• There are a lot of predators online with there eyes on your wallet, playing on the fact that you are green and using your emotions and desires against you.

• In order for you to make it online you have to change from being the pray to the hunter.

• If your going to be successful at making money on the internet your going to have to invest a lot of your time and a bit of your money, or a little bit of your time and a lot of money. But ether way you’re going to have to invest into your business. It is like any other business you have to make investments into it, and take calculated risk.

• You will have to delicate your time wisely and take a certain amount of your time for learning and for building relationships with other marketers. This is essential as the internet is a very dynamic environment, requiring you to adapt to the continuing changes.

• There is a huge learning curve in order to make money online and there are a lot of lies and misconceptions being fed to people everyday. You will have to learn to filter the truth from the fiction.

• There are people that aren’t making a dime online that try and make you believe they are experts. Feeding you the same lies and misinformation that they were told by others. Another problem is good information is not released for fear of creating too much competition or loss of the effectiveness for a particular marketing strategy from saturated use.  So often when you buy a product you only get a part of what it promises.

The answer is yes I want to make money with you by making a commission from the tools you are going to need in order to make money online. What I am not going to do is ask you to buy a product you don’t need and doesn’t tell you anything. If I don’t believe in something, I won’t endorse it.

Can a person make money online without spending a cent on there business?

I believe that a person could do it, but you will take a lot longer getting to the point of making a living on line, and it will take a lot more work on your part. I really don’t recommend this approach, mostly because I attribute it to the fact that when I first started out on line, I did not want to spend a dime to make it work for me, and it certainly was the reasonable decision for me at that time, given my limited finances and a family to maintain.

But for me personally if I had not taken the chance and started to invest into my business until after some five years had passed, I don’t think I would have made it. I think if I had known then what I know now and invested, success would have come a lot quicker for me even though it would have been more costly with all the mistakes I would have likely made.

 What Is Don looking for out of this?

You won’t get lies and bull crap, I will be brutally honest in my opinions. A lot of people don’t like this side of my personality.
