Do you have the knowledge but fail to have a product or service?

Hey there,

Just wanted to make a thread regarding employment.

I understand a lot of us got into this online thing
because we want more money.

If you're out of a job and don't have the funds
to get some money for advertising.

I just want to let you know how easy it is to find
employment using internet marketing.

Just recently I got hired to be the internet marketer
for a popular water park in my area.

I have no college degree nor did I work my way up.

I simply talked to the owner, it sparked his interest
and he was down.

I got hired.

I gave him a presentation on why internet marketing
is so effective (building a list, higher ROI, etc.)

It turns out building a list and getting sales for the
water park was easier than I thought.

On top of that, there is no risk for me as I use the
companies advertising budget.

I get paid $25/hour plus 5% commission after I reach
a certain quota with the other marketing team.

(Which I am doing better than by the way.)

I decided that I could probably get hired for another
franchise.

So I tried Subway up the street.

Same process, I asked one of the workers:

"When does the owner of this franchise stop by?"

They told me, I came in around that time.

I spoke to the owner and again.. the owner
was highly interested.

At that point I could have easily closed it
and got his contact information.

I didn't though, I'm still working on gathering
experience with the water park.

The point is, it's very easy to get employed
if you're finding it difficult to make money
on your own.

Maybe you're not used to doing it on your
own and you want to just work for hourly
pay while gathering experience with
somebody else's money to invest with.

This works great so long as you have the knowledge.

Owners are very open to new ideas.

I had the luxury of being very good friends with a few
millionaires and they're by far the most open minded
individuals I've ever met.

Farewell!

    Very nice post. You are so correct. Our mentality and mindset are among the things that makes or breaks our success. Many people whine about being desperate and needing money, but less than half of them ACTUALLY stand up and DO the work.

    When people say, "hey, I'll try that", they end up just "trying" and get nothing. It's always better to say " Hey, I'll DO that".

    I think a lot of IMers are seeing the potential in marketing their services to offline business.

    There is definitely great earning potential in providing IM services to offline businesses.

    Most business owners know nothing about IM and many would be willing to pay for your services if you can present yourself and your knowledge well and convey how they could benefit from your services.

      My point exactly. I just want to assure everyone that it isn't that difficult.

    Most people don't want to approach real business and talk to people face to face I would imagine. If you don't have a problem with this no doubt you could kill it.

      True, some people just need to get over shyness I guess.

    Great share!
    Many people failed in IM because they only KNOW how to do things, but never really DO THINGS. Take actions is the only differentiators between who succeed and who failed.

    Yeah, it's a shame. I'm sure it's just the risk involved.
