Internet Marketing - A Unique Occupation

Think about this. This is an occupation where people have put in an hour of work and have made millions and an occupation where you could potentially put in a thousand hours of work and make nothing.

I don't mean to discourage you. I love it and I wouldn't change it for the world, the point that I'm making is that it certainly isn't for every Tom, Dick and Harry.

I guess you could say that for any occupation. The big differences being that you don't have a boss. The vast majority of jobs out there, you will have a boss to keep you on track.

You don't have this employer that is going to write you checks, just because you declare yourself an Internet Marketer. If I'm hired by an employer and I put in those hours, chances are that I'm going to get paid for them, even if I just horse-off.

I remember getting called to jury duty, one time. I was like, oh great, jury duty. I lived in a small town and I was in college at the time. I lived in a small town and I had to drive 30 miles to the nearest courthouse.

It ended up to be a joke, I just showed up and waited in a conference room and read magazines. After about an hour, they came in and told us that our case wasn't going to court and that we could go home. They paid me the mileage and for showing up. Good old Uncle Sam.

The point being that I just showed up to jury duty and they paid me. If you just show up to Internet Marketing, you don't get a dime. You have make it a go for yourself. No one is going to bail you out, you need to put your time in.

If you want to be a successful Internet Marketer, you better arm yourself with knowledge, the ability to plan and the ability act on your planning. Internet Marketing is usually a one-stop-shop. You better be able to motivate yourself, because you have no boss. You better stay hungry because you don't have a boss to keep you that way.

It is all about self-discipline, the desire to get better and staying on track. Those are three very important things, that any successful Internet Marketer must have.

Stay hungry...
