Internet Gurus
It's the firm jaw and the steel blue eyes. But more than anything it is the teeth. Your Internet guru and mentor has the pearly gnashers of an angel. They glow with sincerity. The word “white” hardly describes them. They fluoresce. They are incandescent!
Your guru's teeth shine at you like the headlamps of A Mack 12 wheeler, and you are caught in their beam like a jack rabbit crossing the highway at night and you hand over your credit card details like the stunned little creature you are.
No shortage...
There is no shortage of white toothed gurus, ready to take your hard earned cash with the promise of online business success beyond your wildest dreams.
You can quit that boring job
You can get out of debt. you can BE somebody. You can have money in the bank, and a Ferrari in the drive if only you'll buy their system, and they tell you this is possible in just a couple of clicks, hardly any work at all because they've done all the work for you.
And to prove it they show you a long list of long numbers from their bank accounts and pictures of big cars and bigger houses. And so you whip out your credit card and buy into the dream. You download file after file, free bonus after free bonus, audio files and video manuals and Ebook PDFs. Until your hard drive is groaning under the weight of information. Then the downloads are finished, and you're convinced. Surely, with all that information, you think, all those hours of audio and video, reams of e-book reports, you must now have the secret. Of course you have, it's right there on your computer, all you have to do is take a week off work, so you can read all the stuff, listen to the MP3s and watch the hours of video. And so you leave it 'till you've got more time. till the weekend or the week after... or the week after that.
Dreaming...
And you look at all your newly acquired information from time to time. Just to remind yourself that your dream is still alive, that one of these days, you will have that website up and running and the people will flock to buy your Ebook and the checks will roll in, and you can quit your job, and buy that car and travel the world while your computer does the work and the wonderful World Wide Web keeps making you money.
Yes, the dream is still there, but it's late on Sunday night and you've got to be at work again on Monday morning. So you heave a sigh, shut down your computer and go on with your life.
Sorry...
Depressing, isn't it ?
The problem is not that you don't have the secret to your online business success. You do, but you haven't got time to look for it. And if you could find it you wouldn't recognize it. And if you could recognize it you wouldn't understand it... because the one piece of your jigsaw that's missing is experience.
The best way to learn is by solving problems and you won't have any problems until you actually start!
Getting started is the most difficult part of setting up your online business because it all seems so complicated. Your E-guru is teaching E-marketing techniques like code-embedded tracking, sample subscriber testing, ROI, PPC, CPM, SEO rankings and DNS masking None of which help a newbie take the first step on the e-biz ladder.
My advice is this, keep it simple! Concentrate on one thing and keep concentrating on that one thing until you make it work.
Your first goal...
. to earn Ten Dollars.
Because after you get that first payment you will begin to see how earning money online can work for you. When you achieve that small first goal, everything will seem possible. You'll believe you can do it because you've already done it. You just have to do it better and more often! After your first $10 you'll aim for $100. Then $1000, then $1000 every day! Pretty soon you'll be able to afford to get your own teeth fixed. You'll be able to visit your very own orthodontist and have the veneers and caps put on. You could even have a little diamond put in, so you sparkle when you smile, then YOU'LL be the Mack 12 wheeler with the gleaming beam headlamps. And just think of all those mesmerized little jack rabbits out there, just waiting to hand over their credit cards!
