Starting out in any business venture is always both exciting & scary at the same time, then add the dimension of the internet to the equation & you have all the makings of a thriller story!

Exciting; because you know you will be a raging success & can see yourself spending all that freshly earned income & living the internet lifestyle you dream of...

Scary; because it may not come off & you'll be left with egg on your face & a whole lot of explaining to do to family & friends!

The question is "Why do some make it in the internet marketing business & others not?

To those "in the know", it is easy...not so to those eager newbies who honestly don't have a clue about the massive new skill sets they will have to learn to become half proficient enough to replace a regular 40 hr a week income online.

I have spent from around May of 2008 to November 2008, had a family matter to attend to until June 2009 & now back on the computer in earnest again July this year. I have studied under the likes of such Masters as; Frank Kern, Jeff Walker, Ryan Diess, John Reese, Brad Fallon, Jay Kubassek, Mike Dillard, Michael Cheyney, Mike Fillsaime, Russell Brunson & many, many  more of the top income earners on the internet, trying to work out a pattern of success to emulate.

I figured a firm, well chosen & informed base would be much better to eventually work from, rather than racing in & ending up all over the place in something I really didn't want to be in & now had a team & was committed to them, but aching inside to follow my passion etc.

Being a total newbie to the internet, let alone Internet Marketing, I had no idea how to send an e-mail when I began last April/May 2008.

The learning curve was humungeous, the hours long & frustrating...one time I remember laying on the floor crying because I couldn't find how to get into a "forum".  I didn't even know what a forum was & only did my first Google search in that May too.  I thought Direct Matches was a dating site & Twitter was a bird site!

No one I knew had any internet skills either, so it was a long & lonely beginning.

As I learned more I found to my great delight & surprise, the outrageous income claims I'd heard about from these marketing giants seemed to add up to be possible, even if they really didn't earn those massive amounts of income. The List, the Product Launches, the One Time Offers, the Upsells, Back End Products, Study Courses, Home Study, Live Seminars, Memberships, Consulting, Coaching & so on appeared a constant in all the Marketing Giants reviewed in one form or another.

I nearly fell off my chair when one of them revealed he charged $2,700 A MONTH for his private membership! Obviously he delivers the goodies, otherwise no one would buy it!

So my research was complete enough for me to make an educated decision as to the income I wanted to earn, my reason WHY I wanted it,  how I wanted my internet business to be built, the niche I was passionate about, there was a market of hungry buyers, the tools needed to get up & going, the right mindset & I was ready to begin the journey of my life!

I don't know how to finish a blog in here, so I hope someone will help me!

Kindest Regards,

Mary
