We all know there are many ways to build up something online to make money with. We also know that lots of internet marketers are putting a lot of effort into their online activities and don't even make more than a few bucks in months...or in many cases not a single dime ever.
In my experience there's 2 ways basically to get anywhere near successful online:
- Go with the flow, believe every new hot marketing method and work your arse off for ever doing the necessary SEO and posting and hope for the best, or...
- Build a solid foundation for your online business (which would require completely different knowledge and approach than what you'd need for the typical internet marketing thing), develop your business blueprint to ensure success in the future and only work hard for just a few months and then slowly break free from your business.
Most "internet marketers" don't even know the second option is actually possible and doable, but immediately believe what the "gurus" tell them and all the fancy salespages claiming that "their push button solution" will make them rich in no time (and mostly these are about some article/posts submission crap and basic SEO).
I'm already pretty sure about the outcome of this poll and this will hopefully make a lot of IMTalk members think about the fact if what they've been doing actually brought them anywhere near where they want to be.
