They are all desperate for...

Could be.

Also could be a result of the crappy economy and the fact that jobs are being lost by the millions.

Get pretty desperate when you have a mortgage to pay and kids to feed.

Its because they try something and fail and jump to the next thing.

Just stick to one thing and keep trying it will work out

It's pretty common for newbies to sign up here and be under the impression that you can make money pretty fast and easy. They buy up a lot of WSOs that tell them they can. Then they find out that it's really not all that fast and easy and they start posting about their frustrations. We try to steer them in the right direction.

Dont stop people coming here to learn, Aint that whats this place is about, Right?
No just the econmony whats the problem,I think people find stuff online that promises xxxx amout of money for small tasks also which starts the motion that it is possibile?

Because IM is hard, if it wasn't, everybody would be making a killing. I for one am glad that it is difficult.

Questions get asked repeatedly because the poster wants reassurance. Yesterdays thread is not todays thread in the posters mind. Also, it makes them feel it is a customized answer for them. Sometimes they think the answer will be different.

Online biz entrants generally don't want to spend a lot of time learning. They want to be handed a plan that goes from step A to step B to step C and so on. They want to be told what to do in great detail - exactly where to point their mouse and click - to make big money.

Many fall into the trap of believing that such plans do exist be they in the form of a $30 or $1,500 course or a bunch of random forum posts from different people.

Only a tiny percentage of newbies entering the industry each month will make even $1,000 total in the entire time they are here. The vast majority of newbies will make little to nothing or even lose money.

IMO the big "guru" course sellers are to blame for this culture of failure. Their lies are off the charts and they just lead people along to believe this is easy and that anyone can do it. Then we've got the smaller "gurus" who emulate them and publish the same lies. The mere existence of their sites alone do this damage because of the sensational claims all over them.

Every newbie entering this industry should be shown sites like SaltyDroid.info so that they don't fall prey to the misconceptions.

You have to tell people its not easy and takes a lot of work im still working towards this but i hav a start and know its a lot of work but then its a big gain to secure your future.

no shortcut......... SEO backlinks content. then REPEAT

Ken, all true -- but.......why a generic question? Because people are focused on making money instead of because they want to go into the business of ______. That is all they have in mind for the business. Blank. It's this kind of lack of focus that keeps people from ever being able to formulate a direct and specific question.

Before IM, people concentrating on developing a business KNEW what they wanted to do. I knew I was a rockhound a long time before anyone ever saw a site called rockhoundstation1. It was an obsession. Placement and funding stopped me from offline development. I just couldn't find anywhere that the intake would justify the building costs. I didn't have the connections to build it into something that people would actually make the shop a destination.

Then I got online and fell into the Warrior forum. It was like walking into the light.

Others miss the point because all they are looking for is the ends and have no clue about the means. And by that I don't mean how - that can be taught. What I mean is that they have no clue what they want to do and because of hype have been fooled into thinking it just doesn't matter what you do. Some even admit to not knowing what they are interested in for cripes sakes. They think (and that IS the fault of the product and service developers) that you just walk in and grab any subject that seems lucrative. (then they clog up google for those keywords with crapola).

They only can ask a generic question about business building because they only have a generic idea about business. That is also why people often don't go out of their way for them. Such lack of focus does not forebode well.

Best advice I've ever received in IM: TAKE ACTION! Just go out and try something instead of spending countless hours reading about every different type of method under the sun. Go out, and try it!

Some people may be looking for the quick fix or the magic bullet -sure, that is true in every industry.

But I think with IM, there is SO much information, and so much conflicting information, that it is hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. There are also scammers and false advertisers to be on the lookout for (I know - I've been taken in more than once).

So I think all the questions come from this environment. How are we supposed to know what the truth is? How do we know who is trustworthy? How do we know what will really work for us (and that is going to be an individual question we each have to answer)?

Maybe it is the economy. But like most people, I can't afford a lot of costly mistakes (either in terms of my time or money). I'm sure the other newbies here can't afford it either, and that's why there are so many calls for help.

Best wishes,
Anna

Hey guys,

I have a slightly different take on the questions that are being asked here on this forum. I think what a lot of people including myself (sometimes) are really asking is this;

1: How can (I), in my current situation, in with my current beliefs and biases, as well as my current financial situation..."Make Money Online"?

2: How can I wade through the huge amount of info that is Internet Marketing?

3: And finally; Who should I believe and follow, and how fast can I expect to make some real dough?

"How can I find what's right for me?"

Unfortunately, there are so many magic bullets being shot at people trying to get a hold of something stable and substancial. That most newbies, and at some of us who have already made a little bit of income online, it hard to know which magic bullets to duck, and which ones to catch.

But of course, we know, that the real secret is.... There are no magic bullets. And we should duck them all.

This forum is a great place to learn about IM.
I already learnt so much on here.
