Work actually does pay off. Who knew?

I guess it's true; good things come to those who wait, or in this case those who work. When I first started advertising I thought "wow. No-one can turn this down". Believe it or not, that's exactly what everybody did. I literally got no sign-ups.

I thought I could just put the ads in a few sights and tomorrow without doing anything else would get a $10,000 check that weekend. HA :) . That's how ridiculously easy some programs claim to make this business. Don't you believe it! Of course along the line I did learn quite a few things.

One of the most important things is to keep track of my ads, check the responses to them and you can never do enough of it. Strategically place your ads in places where you get results and pound away at it.

Stay focused. It is extremely easy to get distracted while advertising. Something seemingly better always pops up and I used to get distracted a lot. Now I tend to focus on the list builders.

The lists I get are mine. I talk with people on my lists, go over strategies and share ideas with them. We become friends and often business partners. From now on I think like the "big dogs". After all; I wanna be rich too.

No such thing as a free lunch.

I've tried every "get rich tomorrow" opportunity out there and I've come to the realization that it's all a bunch of "hooey". Wanna make money online? Do some homework. First, you have to know how to use all the tools available. That takes time. Be prepared for your share of trial and error too. The guys who really make good money online worked at it, learned it, then used what they learned. These guys have spent small fortunes and countless hours on their way to success. They have done the legwork, tried the hype, and figured out what works and what doesn't. My hat's off to the gentlemen who have had the patience and tenacity to achieve the American Dream with online marketing. They've proven that with guidance and ingenuity financial success online is very possible for anyone.
