Thought this would be a fun thread. HAS to have happened to you for you to post though. I'l start.

You know you're an Internet Marketer when you're flicking through the channels and decide to watch Teleshopping to pick up sales video techniques and good copy.

    You know you're an Internet Marketer when...


    you can stand watching yet another dreary IM video with promises of untold wealth at the end, of a non-skippable video, with some unknown guy crapping on about his pet dog, and attractive wife! :rolleyes:

    Must have bought her on Ebay?

        You email your mother and start it with.

        "Dear Internet Marketing Friend"

        Your online Vacation Videos have click-able affiliate links within them.

        Your goggling images for more pictures of the guru's attractive wife. (or is that "you know when your a pervert")

        You have to close 6 popup screens from a product sales site every day.

        You watch sales videos that say they are short and 45 minutes later they finally end.

        You watch a second and third sales video when trying to close the first before it ends.

        You recognise all the paid actors and know what the inside of rented stately homes, helicoptors, limos and private jets look like.

        You wonder why the suprise knock at the door, visit from the guru to an ordinary family is filmed from the inside.

        You have heard a guy say "Wait" a million times.

        Your email box gets several hundred a day and none of them are your friends.

        Your wife divorces you.

        You login every half hour to see if the support ticket has been answered because your IM life depends on it.

        Your desktop is full of little folders you have created to put WSO pdfs into that have never been read.

        You desktop is full of shortcuts to crap IM buggy/not working software.

        Your Sick and tired of Gurus saying "are you sick and tired"

        In your day job you offer a 30 day "Iron Clad" guarantee on everything you do.

    I'll add this one!
    You know that you're a marketer when you can effectively research what's on your mind.

    ...when you actually make money from Internet marketing that doesn't involve peddling shoddy product with lots of sizzle designed to extract money from people desperate to make money, then extracting more with 3-5 OTO's full of lofty promises.

      .....you open several unskippable IM videos at the same time, and shrink them down, and turn the volume down, and bring up other browser stuff, so you can get past the stupid crap about his pet dog, and how he loves to walk them every morning in the snow, blah, blah.

      And only click back when you hear about his Mansion or luxery holiday or possibly checking out his supermodel wife! :rolleyes:


      Then after induring about half an hour of this crap, finally get to the meat, which turns out being some software that costs hundreds of dollars!


      Then deleting the video in a huff, and vowing never to do that again!

    When you have to get a new keyboard several times a year because you wear the letters off the keys. Well - maybe that's just writers. I actually do this at least a couple times a year.

      I just got birthday cards from some of them. Apparently, I put in the wrong date somewhere.

      when your girlfriend goes through your skype account just dying to see the girl she thinks you're talking to on there because in her mind, there is no way someone could be on skype so much exchanging IM ideas

    When you never ever open the promotion tab in your Gmail account

    When you skip to the main content of an IM ebook without reading Legal agreements, Rights or any other repeated Sh*t almost every book has.

    When Email subject lines like Hi I got something for you, Freebie, This is selling high, only $7 does not amaze you at all!

    When you have more credit on your Skype account than your phone.

    When T.V doesn't stand for Television anymore and every time someones asks you to start TV, you start team viewer.

    When an Optin box pulls down all of your interest.

    When a Email notification of a sale makes you more happy than your girlfriend's text message!
