Hey guys, I graduated last year with a B.S in Chemical Engineering. Unfortunately I have not been able to find ANY work at all despite attending multiple job fairs and applying to dozens of places, I am at home now and really do not know what to do. This is how I came across IM at the beginning of this year. It really just wasn't my luck graduating into such a poor economy (im in the US). So now I don't know if I should continue on to get my masters (would probably have to wait until spring of next year to start), continue looking for a job, or continue with IM. If I could make IM work then I would have no problem making a career out of it, I would love that. Very confused at the moment. Any advice is appreciated.

    First thing... get some good free training to see if you really want to get into Internet Marketing Full Time... Do'nt just jump into the deep... Without a life jacket.
    I've got a good free training course which could help you make the right choice. Just click on the link in my signature "TheKeyToSuccessSystem" and sign up... It can't hurt... after all it's free.

    Good LucK!!

    I would suggest finding part time work or even work that is not in your field. That way you have some consistency to your schedule and you can slowly save, even if it is not much. In the meantime, learn what you can about IM and see if you can create your own career, maybe blending what you already learned about in school, with the technologies you and environments you are learning about right now. For instance, if you find the right market, you could create online courses, training guides, or even help design site for scientists. This is just off the top of my head, but I'm sure you can brainstorm more ideas.

    The beauty of internet marketing is that if you look in from the outside and recognise what you are seeing, this will help you to understand why 98% of internet marketers don't make enough to live on.

    Internet marketers don't fail because they do things wrong - they fail because they try to do things right following the advice of people who have never actually done it at all.

    The whole ethos of the internet marketing hierarchy is to sell enough disinformation to sound good enough to convince the mark to keep buying more disinformation.

    Just like the image below, the information sellers get you to Stop and listen to their syren song only to set you on your way into an insurmountable brick wall. How many internet marketers have enjoyed my experience of buying a hyped up product promoted by every senior guru only to find a key element is excluded - you know the one - the one that makes it all work.

    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!
