It’s their day job, not the internet marketing lifestyle they told you about
Maybe you’ve heard of the "internet marketing life style" where you only work 2 hours a week at home in your pj’s and you rake in tens of thousands of dollars a month. The truth is: It’s Their Day Job. And they work hard at it even if they are at home and in their pj’s. It’s their business. It’s what they do every day. It’s not so easy. So why are they telling you how easy it is? So you will buy the stuff they want to sell you - duh! Or, doh!, if you prefer.
If you have even thought about internet marketing, you have seen all kinds of garbage in the form of extremely hyped up sales pages blasting you with unbelievable claims that guarantee you will make a fortune if you only pay them $47, $97, $197, $997, $4,997, and up.
That $7 thing is because some internet marketing guy read a research report somewhere or did a test of some kind that said if the last number is a 7, more people buy the product. The next time you go to Wal-Mart or your local grocery store, or any real store, tell me how many items you see a price that ends in a 7 compared to a 5 or a 9. Maybe you think Wal-Mart doesn’t know how to price the items they sell?
I’d be willing to bet that you’ve seen claims that you can make $1,000 in 48 hours (or less!) if you just buy a product that costs $49.97 or some similar number. That’s a real good ROI if you could get it. You can’t unless you’ve already been in business and making money. If you are a newbie, I’m telling you - don’t waste your money on any product that makes such claims.
How do I know? Because awhile back, I bought on of these bloodsuckers called "Internet Marketing Bootcamp", which promised that you would make $1,000 in 72 hours (that’s 3 days) if you just followed the easy steps they would tell you. It even came with a guarantee that if you didn’t make the $1,000, they would not only refund your $49.97 but pay you $200.00 in addition just for being willing to give it a try. Well guess what?
I started following the steps and I had a question. It was a Friday. I could not get a response for over 72 hours. Now it gets even more unbelievable. The guy who my billing receipt said sold this to me, finally emailed me and said he didn’t sell it to me and wasn’t about to support it. How about that. I bought this scam from no one! I’m gonna make this long story short and tell you that I got a refund for the $49.97, but the persons who perpetrated this just laughed and said I was crazy if I thought they were going to pay me the $200 promised in their guarantee.
Here’s the truth – the people who make real money on the internet spend most of their time at work! It’s their day job! Sure, they may be working at home, and they may be working only a few hours a day. BUT they work at it all the time, they have already put in the hard work that probably took 3-5 years, and if they are truly working only a few hours a day, it’s because their staff is doing the rest.
Sorry to be the one to fill you in on that, but my job is to be honest and trustworthy.
Here’s your bottom line. Resist that impulse to buy the impossible dream.
