Consider These Three Things Before You Quit Internet Marketing

What is the end goal, to succeed in IM or to be financially free? If it's to be financially free, than we don't have to succeed at IM, we just have to find a way to get financially free. And some people will find it easier to be financially free through starting some other offline business that uses the skills they developed in IM.

An Ex-IMer who was making 100k(I know that's not huge money in the pro-Internet marketers eyes, but I still consider it good money) through selling virtual pets quit that industry to open up a tutoring center where I live. He promoted it through the internet, he used the knowledge he gained of consumer mindset, and he applied the lessons we all know about internet marketing to his offline business. How to get joint ventures, the importance of a list, etc. And after only two years he's almost at 100k personal income, and he LOVES what he does(very educated, very articulate man).

So I do appreciate the virtue of persistence and I think your post is a good one, but sometimes you have to take into account your skill and consider where you can be the most valuable to the market place. And for some that means offline business, or in my case, it involved starting online based service businesses.

As Jim Rohn used to say, you can keep planting in the same acre but after three years you may want to consider buying a new acre to plant in.

My point is that every journey requires some level of preparations and considerations to avoid looking after leaping.

Some people consider quitting because they see it as an option. But some people that have set goals for themselves have refused to quit because they know that, though they've not hit their target yet, they will certainly hit it someday if they keep doing the right thing.

I will only quit internet marketing if it affects my health (mental and physical). Other than that I don't see any reason why.
