...of IM may not be for you. Even Joe Karbo worked his tail off.

He just made sure his work was fun!

    I disagree. I'm very lazy and I make a pretty decent amount of cash per month. I mean I sit in a damn chair most of the day, with my feet up on my desk. How much more lazier can you get (I still shower, mind you!)

    You're going to fail. If you're afraid of failure then you do not belong in the Internet Marketing Business. Period.

      Exactly. I don't understand why so many people keep complaining about how internet marketing is hard work - try digging a ditch or mowing the lawn under the hot sweltering sun for a couple of days, then come back and tell us what you think about internet marketing!

    I think there are probably still a lot of fairly successful lazy internet marketers. If you're smart in this industry you can accomplish a lot through outsourcing and automation. So if you're really lazy, it might be the ultimate motivation to setup a good auto-pilot marketing system. Still, someone who isn't lazy does have the advantage.

    See, I understand your reasoning, all you self-proclaimed lazy guys, but someone had to set up the automated systems that allow you now to relax, no?

    Wasn't it you?

    Your accomplishments represent no small amount of learning, followed by execution. A good deal of mental work has gone into obtaining your current freedom.

    On the other hand, there are people who read, read, read... and never Do.

    All said and done, you guys put in effort! Sweat? no. Effort, yes!

    Joe Karbo (the legendary direct marketer in the link I provided) was an excellent example of this.

            I tried roofing once. We came down for lunch and I donated my 4 hours and went home. That.... was working hard, not smart

    If you enjoy your work, it's not hard - regardless of how many hours you need to put in.

    Well... As far as my experience goes (and I am pretty lazy), in the end of the day, you still have to walk the walk. That doesn't mean you have to do stuff that comes hard for you, no. Everything can be outsourced.

    But you still have to do stuff. And leverage your gains. That's smart.

    So essentially.. its not like you can sit all day and watch TV - I've learned it the hard way (there might be people however who have turned that into a career) Just be smart about it, do what comes easy to you and outsource what seems hard.

    I believe that its not like, you have to be physically active
    if you are in Internet Marketing, it is more of you as mentally
    active in the industry.
    If you want to earn in this industry, you need to work out
    your brains.
