Giving Back "The Magic Bullet" to Success

5 replies
I'm fairly new to the forums but have been in Internet Marketing for some time. I have spent a huge amount of time pouring through all the data I could in these forums and to be honest it is filled with "Magic Bullets".

To hear so many people ask how do I make money is frustrating to me. Because it's right here (pointing to the search button in the red bar at the top of the page). If I wanted to learn about "keyword analysis" I'd plug it in and read "every article" about it then move on. Yeah I know it takes freakin forever but what do you really expect someone to tell you something to do, then you try it and it doesn't work and you blame it on them for it being wrong.

Here is the "Magic Bullet"... "ACTION" that is it. If at first you don't succeed try try again. And again. And again. Don't freaking give up and throw out stupid sayings like "this is my last try", "I can't do this any more", "<enter some other lame excuse>". If you say these things there really is no use continuing because your already defeated.

Now my small less than stellar story: Although I have been on the SEO side I never tried to make any money doing affiliate marketing or adsense. And either I'm the luckiest person in the world or FREE information on these forums work. I've put up 5 sites after tweaking and playing around and following the simple ways all 5 are making money. I will qualify this as none are making anything huge and I haven't quite my day job but my "all night job" is doing this. $2/day on a couple and one is $6/day now it all adds up.

To clarify, I work all day from about 7am to 6pm then once the family is asleep at about 10pm I work till 4am kicking this stuff out. I am addicted to it. I would gamble saying that a lot of people on here are doing the same thing.

So to end this rant. The bottom line is get off your a$$e$ and quit being lazy by posting questions that have already been answered probably hundreds if not thousands of times. And take that FREE information and ACT. That's it... and there you have the "Magic Bullet" that everyone is looking for but nobody wants to work at getting.

My motivational quote

"For every winner there are dozens of losers, odds are your one of them."


Where do you fall?

    Hi Fred,

    I think many beginners read so much info they expect there to be a magic bullet out there and will continue to search for it rather than just learn some basic IM skills and go for it.

    Also I am hearing that over 90% of people who end up here on the WF as a complete newb, will mess around for about 6 months and then just give up, as you noted above.

    Leaves more $ for us hard workers!

    Great post!

    Haha..Fred...I love it...I have a cool story to add to this. My first Internet business in 1997 SUCKED...After busting my but understanding getting ranked in yahoo categories and "infoseek.com" and learning to MANUALLY build web sites by hand because there were no good editors back then I build my first site. And it flopped. I was obviously frustrated but I did not give up. Someone came to me with a very high-end product (almost $5,000 a pop) that they loaded up on inventory with and could not sell ANY!

    So I bought a domain, used the SAME exact site of the one I did before and replaced the products paid to submit to Yahoo, got the #1 spots on the top 2 keywords for the product...and did $100,000 in sales my first month. Sold the business a year later for $1,000,000.

    So here is the key gang...YOU ONLY FAIL WHEN YOU QUIT.....PERIOD!!

    The reality is that many reading these post are still struggling trying to figure out how to make money online. But TONS of people are doing it. So you are on the right path. You just need to find the "sweet spot"...the right formula...and it will hit.

    Keep Rockin'

    Michael

      That is pretty amazing Michael! I hope something like that happens to me eventually. Right now, I'm just chugging along and making a gradually increasing online income. I make sure I take action every day, even if it is just a little (new blog post, backlinking, etc...). I like to think that consistency is the key point.

      I hope that everyone that is trying to make money online reads your post or for that matter trying to make money doing anything. We all started out in the first grade, some kindergarten with about 5 years of living experience behind us.

      It took us 8 more years to reach one plateau and another 4 years to reach another plateau. And, for those that were lucky enough to go to college, another 4 or 5 years to reach another plateau.

      Now, we all want to be millionaires tomorrow. Some might do it. But most will have to put in the time to reach the next plateau. That next plateau might be $5 a day (success) the next, $25 a day (success), the next, $100 a day (success again). It has taken some time, but, you are on your way to becoming a millionaire.

      It does not necessarily require inteligence to become successfull. And what is a measure of success?

      First, I remember my older Sister who was a college professor before she got into the corporate world telling me that "Inteligence is not knowing all the answers, it's knowing where to find them"

      And second, if you have been around for a while like I have (in years) you probably have heard the saying "You are not truly successful until you have helped others become successful"

      Now all the tools are where you can find them (inteligence) and you can help others become successful (true success). Just do it!!
