It's Not Easy

I bet you've seen all the ads saying, "Earn $1,000,000
while you sleep" or other words to that effect. Don't you
believe it!

I was a Newbie on the Net. What do you think *I* did when I
started seeing these ads? You guessed it! I tried every one
that caught my eye. In other words *all* of them! Talk
about frustration! Just about the time I'd start drooling
over one of these "get rich quick" programs, another that
I'd tried the week (or month) before, came back to bite me
on my assets.

Yes, I lost money. I believed every ad that promised, "Pay
me $25 and I'll show you how to market." "Pay me $20 for
submission software." "Pay me..." Well, I could go on, but I
don't feel like crying in my beer right now. Good thing I
*don't* drink or my poor family would've never seen me
again!

So how *do* you get all that money out there? You WORK! And
work HARD!

You advertise. And you advertise. And you advertise. Did I
say, "You advertise?" Enough already...you get the picture.

But *where* do you advertise? I tried FFAs with nary a bite!
And Free Classifieds? Another big zero. Then there were the
free ezine ads. Well, I did get a couple "bites" but no
sales.

What was I doing wrong? I followed the advice for classified
ad headlines, and how to "step into your readers' shoes."
Those shoes don't fit! Think I should try a bigger pair?

So now I'm paying for classified ads, ezine ads and e-books
to give me that "magic" formula. Guess what? There is no
"magic!"

What does work? Perseverance. After a year I'm finally
making a few bucks. The longer I work, and the harder I
work, the more bucks I get. I'm finally making progress!
Hurrah!

Instead of trying to promote every one of the affiliate
programs that catches my eye, I do a bit of research. I
choose those that have the best fit - for me. Then, I
advertise those select few!

No more running in twenty different directions trying to
advertise fifteen or twenty programs! You can email me for a
*very* short list of the ones I think are worth the work!

The moral of this story? There are no "get rich quick"
programs. There is no "easy" way to wealth. There's only
good, old-fashioned, get down to the nitty gritty WORK!

At this point I'm still working hard, and smarter...
but I'm not crying anymore!
