You have ONE sentence to introduce IM to a NEWBIE...What do you say?

by Lance K

INTERNET MARKETING

OK, how about this for a crazy (yet beneficial) little New Year's exercise. For maximum impact, it'll take some imagination and a willingness to follow the rules exactly.

Here's the scenerio...

Jane (or John) Newbie just became aware that it may be possible to make money by harnessing the power of the internet. They've come to you for advice. But there's a catch.

Your reply can be no more than one sentence. And it has to pass the scrutiny of a high school English teacher (i.e. no run on sentences, etc.).

If you break this one rule,the newbie's memory will be erased (Men In Black style) and their brain will never again be able to embrace the fact that it's possible to make money via the internet.

WHAT'S YOUR ONE SENTENCE?

My reply: "There is very good income potential working online, but you need to be willing to endure a very steep learning curve and do a lot of hard work in order to get there." (A bit long, but I don't think it's a run-on sentence, then again....!)

  Good one, I second that.

  Well, I thought I'd jump in with a reply to my own thread. I didn't do it to begin with because I didn't want to influence the replies in any way. So here goes...
  
  I would either tell them:
  
  Find a high converting product with an affiliate program and get the offer in front of as many people as you can.
  
  Or:
  
  Go to www.warriorforum.com, pay to join the "War Room" forum, and read every post by Allen Says FIRST!

  Be prepared to spend a lot of money, making a lot of mistakes, because nothing I could ever put into one sentence will ever teach you what would serve you best other than applying your own, self acquired knowledge.
  
  If that sentence was too long... then the summarized version:
  
  Experience is always the best teacher.

Hi Lance,

It's a bit thoughtful on here just after the new year, isn't it! I like it.

My reply (I did enjoy many of those already posted, especially about High School English Teachers, bless 'em):
