Do You Have To Be Young, Techy And Sexy To Be A Successful Online Marketer?
Maybe this sounds like a stupid question, actually it was a question that popped up in my mind several days ago!
I always had the idea that all online marketers were young, techy and sexy… but is this really the case?
Are young people the only future of online marketing?
I don’t know about you, but when I started my online business I was 34, so I considered myself pretty young
But when I started working online and learned about all the things I needed to know (and that I did NOT know) I thought to myself, WOW… I’m becoming pretty old.
I saw all these young guys & girls, teenagers, playing with the stuff I was struggling with. When I had their age they were babies, some of them even weren’t born yet, and now they can teach me…! This was pretty confrontational! Suddenly I felt VERY OLD! I had to do something…
That’s the world we live in, everything changes extremely fast, and when you don’t constantly educate yourself, within a few years or even months you are far behind. I had those thoughts in my mind…and I was only 34… Imagine what it is when you are 40, 50, 60 or older….
Of course your learning curve depends on the background and talents you have. When you did a job completely outside of the online world, if you were a cook your hole life for example, and you want to build an online business you’ll have to learn more than when you have an IT or marketing background, that’s pretty obvious… But the good news is…you can do it if you want to, that’s for sure. If you put in the time and effort…
But now, back to the first question…. : “Do You Have To Be Young, Techy And Sexy To Be A Successful Online Marketer?”
Well you know the answer right…?
OF COURSE YOU DON’T Have To Be Young, Techy and Sexy To Be A Successful Online Marketer!
Actually more and more people from all ages, from all social backgrounds and from all over the world start an online business. According to Forbes Magazine, 79,000,000 Americans plan to start their own businesses in the next 3 years.
The great majority will do it through a Network Marketing / Direct Sales model and will end up building their business online.
Think about this number… 79,000,000 Americans plan to start their own business the next 3 years!
In that number we don’t speak about people in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa! We only talk about people in America, so the actual number is a lot higher than 79,000,000 people…!
Do you see the potential…?
NOW is the time to position yourself so these people can find YOU to help and coach them.
The time to do it is NOW, not tomorrow, not within 3 years!
And don’t mind if you are not Young, Techy and Sexy… I’m not either!
It’s your determination, your work ethic and your people skills that’ll make you a successful online marketer, not your age, techyness and sexyness…!

What is you dont have the skills
I tell people all the time you don't have these skill find someone who has these skills you can partner up with.
Grand parents I suggest partner up with your grand kids. Some have done so and have done very well.

Totally agree!
I'll have to agree with you Elmar, otherwise I would not be successful. I can't change my age. I can get more techy, but not so sure about the sexy. :) I will say, I wished I had started when I was in my youth, but it is never too late for any of us. I'm having a great time.
Old, No Tech, and Repulsive...
Heck Elmar,
Look at me (or don't)... ;-)
I never even owned a computer till last April. I had absolutely ZERO technical skills or background, had spent my entire adult life working as a carpenter, and consider myself to be, well, middle aged...

Hi Chris, Great idea, you
Hi Chris,
Great idea, you can't be good at everything, so partnering up with other people with different strengths is the way to go.
Thanks for your comment!
Elmar
I agree with you Lynn
When I started online marketing I was 34! At that moment I felt OLD when I saw all the stuff I needed to learn! I also wished I had started earlier!
Hi Mitchell
Thanks for your comment!
I understand what you say. Personally I did own a computer before I started online marketing, but the only thing I used it for was sending emails, Word and Excel, that was it. So starting an online business was....very difficult. I don't need to tell you how steep the learning curve was.
I'm always glad to meet people with the same challenges.
I'll visit you webiste.
Thanks,
Elmar
