How I got Started with Internet Marketing

15 replies
After browsing the forum for a while and reading a few very helpful posts I've gotten a feel for what this community is about and I feel it's time I share my own experiences.

I hope you find this post informative and useful. I'd love to hear about the experiences you've had and what lessons you've learnt up until now. Life can be a harsh teacher and often gives us the test first and then teaches us the lesson after!


So here's how I got started with internet marketing:

Find your why - then you'll find your how
Back in college I took music. Solely because I enjoyed music. Not because I knew where I wanted to be or what I wanted to do.
It wasn't until after college that I discovered what I wanted to do with my life.

I think this is very important.

I took a job in direct sales and they introduced me to a book that changed my life: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.
At 18 I held in my hands the book that would change my life forever and open my mind to a new world. A world of freedom, opportunity and of giving to others.

It was then that I knew what I wanted from life.
The ability to spend my time as I wanted. Money to enjoy the luxuries of life and freedom to live life on my terms.

Sound familiar?

A lot of people dream about having this sort of lifestyle but not many people actually take the time to write a plan and take the steps to make it happen.

6 months later I had my own flat and had the time of my life with my friends..

What do you want out of life, what's your why?


Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing your views on what drives you to do what you do.


To your success,

Mike

    So....the message that you wanted to share with this community that you know so well now is....

    ....drum roll please.....


    Make a plan and act on it.


    Wow, thanks for the secret. When you titled this thread, "How I started in internet marketing", I was under the impression that you were going to detail the steps you took to succeed online.

    But you saved me all that silly time reading about potentially useful skills and knowledge necessary for success by reducing it all down to "make a plan and act on it."

    What you should do is package that into a WSO. Probably get about $47 for that powerful technique.

    Sarcastically,


    JoeMack

    [OFFTOPIC]...but Rich Dad Poor Dad is one of the dumbest book I have ever read. No, that's not because I have rich or poor dad, not because I don't like books.

    Just because, it has so fricking many factual errors, events that never happened. IMO it's BS, contains wrond n bad advice in every way I could possibly imagine.

    Look, Kiyosaki is a salesman + motivational speaker. That's all.[/OFFTOPIC]

    Now back to topic.. So it only took 6 months to succeed? Mind if I ask how did you do it?

    I have been in IM 2 years, making fulltime, but it also took me 1+ years to get things going, learn the basics n stuff.

    So you went to college? I thought you were living in a tent covered with ice (you are good copywriter, lol). People are begging you to use their credit card... and you couldn't come up with something better than Easy Internet Business – The Secret to Earning Thousands a Day Online

    Not wanted to be harsh, but it looks you are trying to be someone else than you actually are.

    Mike I think you're on your way to internet marketing success. Not many people can look in hindsight and spot the errors that they've made in the past, and learn and implement new things to make up for future errors of the same problem. I think you can have a successful online business career. Soak up the information on this forum.

    Exactly, I think a clear overall vision for your life, that you focus on every day... is the start. Then just do the things that you are inspired to.

    I have always had the vision of doing music full-time and thanks to online business, now I am : ) So I am doing exactly what I want to be doing, and it is always just a matter of scaling and growing.

    It's always interesting to hear how people get started and how they have changed their life with the power of online marketing. It's also great that people continue to post their stories to show others it's possible and to motivate others. You never know who may be reading and how your story could inspire them.
