A note to Noobs ...
Yup. I'm one too. Haven't made a dime yet. Not a penny. I have no website, no client base, no portfolio. Heck, I haven't yet decided if I want to use my writing skillset to sell shovels and picks to miners as a long term model, or merely to develop seed money to move on to being a miner myself. I have a sig I spent 30 seconds on, 'cause you can't catch any fish if you don't put your hook in the water and I figured, what the heck. Maybe I'll end up with PM or email at some point. But I don't expect I will. I am still, primarily, in a research/strategy/business model stage.
Let's get down to brass tacks here. It is an embarrassing thing to admit, but at age 14 I thought it would be a really good idea to start smoking. I know that I am not the only knucklehead that made such a wonderful decision at a time in life when I knew it all. I have no doubt that there are most definitely others on here that can confirm that they have been involved in the following conversation throughout their long, storied and idiotic smoking career.
It goes something like this:
"Hey man, can I bum a smoke?"
"Sure. Here ya go."
"Umm ... can I borrow your lighter?"
As the bummer hands his/her lighter to the bummie, he/she says in a smartass sort of way, "Do you want me to smoke it for you too?"
Get it fellow noob?
There are cigarettes and lighters laying all over this site, gladly handed out for free. Yet, thread after thread, post after post, I see noobs constantly asking for others to give them what they need and then smoke it for them as well. A lot of you want somebody to hold your hand and tell you, step by step, how to become an internet gazillionaire.
Reality check. It ain't gonna happen like that. And a big reason you will not see your dreams come to fruition through that method is not because there are not helpful people on this site, but rather because you are too damn intellectually lazy. You can follow advice, systems, etc., but you will not succeed in any business venture if you refuse to take initiative and and find within yourself the ability to put two and two together and, eventually, go buy your pack 'o smokes and lighter.
