So You Want to be an Internet Marketer

So you have decided you want to be an internet marketer. You've seen the ads on TV for people making 5-10 thousand a month from the comfort of their homes. Basking by the swimming pool outside of their palatial estate with a bright sun shining down on their success. Perhaps you've seen similar ads while surfing or searching the net.

You send for information or signup for the program and go to sleep that night dreaming of the success and money that will soon be yours with all of the people above you helping you to build your business. Dreams of dollar bills floating down from the heavens penetrate your sleep. Ahh what a wonderful life!

You wake up excited thinking about your dreams. You go to your Just Over Broke saying to yourself, "I'll soon be telling my boss where to take his job! I'm going to be rich in this internet marketing program" "Free riches for all". You can hardly concentrate on your job for you are thinking of the riches promised you that your sponsor was going to help you gain.

You get home and eat and get on the computer and check your email and PayPal account looking for the money your sponsor made for you while you were at work. After all you were promised massive spillover and riches beyond compare.

Nothing, no emails, no PayPal notifications. You email your sponsor asking why you have made no money. You hear nothing for a couple of days. Then you get another series of emails saying you need to get this autoresponder program, your own website, a splash page maker and information that you are supposed to share with your family and friends.

So you spend more money; $20 for an autoresponder, $20 for hosting, $15 for a splash page maker, and then wonder how you are supposed to make them all work. You ask your sponsor and he says look at the instructions. Oh, and if you want training, he has a series of videos you can download for $297 that will guarantee you success if you follow them. So you spend the money and discover that they are complicated and hard to understand. All this html stuff , meta tags, keywords etc. Again you contact your sponsor and he says " it simple just follow instructions" and then hangs up on you. So you try again and start thinking I must really be a dummie. Meanwhile you've contacted your family and friends and are met with comments, such as "what a fool you are you fell for that hype, or how much have you made, or when you start making money let me know".

You keep trying and trying and nothing happens, you finally got a website up and wonder why you're not getting any traffic, sales or signups. You contact your sponsor again via email and it bounces back to you, alarmed you try and login to your affiliate site, only to discover that this domain is not available.

Disgusted you say to yourself, what a fool I am. I'll not fall for those scams again.

A few months later you get an email from your old sponsor who tells you the company took off with everyone's money but he has a sure fire program that just started and thousands are being made by those getting in now. You think to yourself, well I've got to make up my losses, let me try this again.

And again and again and again ...
