Yes, but only if he/she partners up with someone who is intelligent or creative.

Yes why not. There are many IM Guru's who were once Plumber, construction workers, drivers etc. Warrior forum is full of such examples and life studies.

Most of the entrepreneurs I worked with are worker bee, while many of their employees are the intelligent people.

Intelligent people are thinking too much, lack of action. Intelligent people are the one always attracted to shiny objects.

Worker bee, look at one opportunity and just work at that opportunity until success.

Um... YES

You do not need to be intelligent to make money online.

You don't need to be good looking...

You don't need to have a ton of skills...

And you don't need to have awsome grammar skillz.

It's not always those that 'work hard' who do very well.

McDonald's workers technically 'work hard'...

And they aren't all exactly as wealthy as can be.

Yes, I agree with all the above replies - very often it is the single minded, unimaginative people who make lots of money because they instinctively know what people will buy, and buy a lot of. Creative, intelligent types tend to always consider new angles, try to improve on the mundane - it is most often the mundane that is popular - consider all the industrial moguls who make soap, washers, brushes, clothes pegs, basic marketing systems - and so-forth. Choose one area and put that head down and buzz the world

Most "behind the scenes" people are very creative and intelligent, so yes that type of person would fit in nicely.

But, on the other hand, if you are talking about someone who is a basic "Worker". Someone who just goes to work monday thru friday 8 hours a day, lives for the weekend. Then, probably not. This is not a job, it is a business. And not everyone is cut out to run there own business. It will take commitment and sacrifice. And most "Workers" are not willing to take a chance and make the commitments and sacrifices necessary to run a business.

It is not a bad thing it is just the way it is

Absolutely they can.

Those are the qualities you need to succeed.

All you need is a good proven system and mentor.

Then work the system instead of looking for the next shiny object or trying to re-invent the wheel.

Sure they can! If they're determined enough, it's possible they can 'make it big'. However, I do agree with Al here, not everyone is born to be a successful entrepreneur...

When you combine knowledge with hard work, anyone can do well online.

You don't have to be super intelligent to succeed online. You just have to have a drive and determination.

Yes. If you are a hardworking, goal-oriented person YES. You can be a successful internet marketer. You do not really need to be intelligent to become successful. If you have the drive, the proper mind set, and the perseverance to succeed you can achieve the same success as the rest of the experienced IMs out there.

There are a ton of people who are intelligent but don't work hard, or are out worked by others who maybe aren't as intelligent. But, I believe it was Ben Franklin who said if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a a tree, it'll live its whole life believing it's stupid. Find what you're good at and figure out a way to help other people be good at that or offer your services.

Be willing to learn, network, work hard and anything is possible.

Absolutely! I would consider myself a worker-bee. There's nothing wrong with admitting or being a hard worker. It's the cornerstone of success!

As far as a business model, a true "worker-bee" could make almost any business model successful. I would choose the one that best fits your lifestyle - or the lifestyle that you want to live.

IMo anyone CAN make it, it just depends on if they put the work in and stick with it. Being behind the scenes is overrated, one thing I've learned is you don't need to be in the spotlight but you need to form relationships to help push ahead in this industry.

No, they won't go far at all. They will fail and quit like 95% of the people that try.

A "worker bee" needs instruction on what to do, and they need to be told what to do. If you want make it online and work for yourself you have to be a hustler.

Super affiliates are not worker bees, they're hustlers. They hire worker bees to do menial tasks.

Worker bees need a system not necessarily to be told what to do. I'm not sure if 99% of the programs would fit a worker bee. Especially, businesses that live and die by technology.

Disclaimer: 99% is just used as an example it is not a fact statement.

Anyone can do a internet business if you have the right mindset.

Yes, IM can be learned

A good work ethic cannot.

Intelligence + creativity - drive = slacker

Intelligence + drive - creativity = employee

Drive + creativity - intelligence = entrepreneur

Though intelligence is always a plus

"nothing is worse than seeing somebody dummer than you making more money than you"

Two things here. A couple actually. First, of course you can. If I did it you can do it! Second, a lot of people will try and try a few times not succeed and overthink it and give up. On the flip side of it you have people who are so determined that they don't know when to give up and thus for breaking into the top 2% online.

Biggest thing that started me to deliver results after being in the 9 to 5 mindset my whole life is I started to take personal development very, very seriously. I started working harder on myself than I do on my job. Today I still do it. It's a habbit for me now.

My point is is my results did not start to change until my thinking started to shift or "change" Thats when all the hardword really started to pay off.

There are dozens of very good marketers online and the key here is to find one you like and mentor off of them. My first advice is to learn how IM works first and what it is we are doing and how we make money. In simple terms for me it comes down to "supply and demand".

Biggest thing I see new people struggle with is trying to get eyeballs on there links. When you have a market and niche you would like to get involved in then think about who your ideal prospect or customer is and ask yourself where online are these people?

Labels are much more useful when applied to prospects and customers.

Be what you need to be, when you need to be it. I have "worker bee" days and "creative" days. I even have some "f**king genius" days. But the "worker bee" days seem to be in the majority.

To survive in business, it is important that you not be afraid to move out of your comfort zone when necessary to grow or adapt to change.

Labeling yourself as one or the other sounds like an attempt to give yourself permission to not rise to the occasion, whatever that occasion is and whenever it is required.

After reflecting on this thread some more, I have something I'd like to add...

No, a worker bee in the purest sense will definitely not succeed without some sort of divine intervention. You MUST have some sort of sneaky smarts or business acumen to succeed.

Here is a what I see as a worker bee...

Data entry workers in India for example...people with a very low skill/uneducated.

Many of them will do mind numbing, repetitive work for hours on end for as little as $2.00usd per hour.

Of course you can, but you will need a mentor

Not as far as the "Queen".
