The Next Internet Millionaire.<\/p>\n

There’s a virus spreading across the internet, especially hitting those who’ve just come onto the web.
\nI call it the “Spectator” mentality:<\/p>\n

Symptoms include: listening to WebmasterRadio all day, but the irony is you might know everything, but never really DO anything about it.
\nEfforts might include setting up a 5-page website, or a blog somewhere or a squidoo lens.<\/p>\n

Do you use the “hope and pray” model of traffic generation and monetization?<\/p>\n

Set it up, let it sit, heck stats every few hours then wonder why there’re no sales?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately neither Internet Marketing nor life is not a spectator sport,
\nCreating a website and letting it standing there in the middle of cyberspace is like erecting a billboard in the desert.<\/p>\n

Is it any wonder that new marketers frequently come crying that Internet Marketing “doesn’t work”?<\/p>\n


\nThere’s more to internet marketing than spending a couple of hours making a website and letting it sit there.<\/p>\n

In the Japanese language, the word “problem” is also same word as “opportunity”.<\/p>\n

A comedian once said:<\/p>\n

Can you help me with my credit card opportunity<\/em>?
\n“I am experiencing many cash opportunities<\/em>! Would you like to help?”<\/p>\n

Call me cynical, but i think help should be reserved for the helpless?<\/p>\n

Want help? learn to help yourself.<\/p>\n

“no money, but want to start in Internet Marketing?”<\/p>\n

Reality check: what’s complaining about it going to do?
\nPrecedent: of the gurus and successful affiliates I know, a number only had $20 in the bank starting out.<\/p>\n

Solution: get a payday loan, cash advance, borrow from friends and family.
\nTo make some quick cash: go to forum, check the services section: do directory submission, write an article, go to blogger, set up a content site.
\n[not encouraged for the long term, but you do what you need to to survive]<\/p>\n

Look at your options, most important, take action!<\/p>\n
