you’re right, there’s far too much hype and easy money talk on the Internet.

And that gets people depressed, or giving up, when they fail to meet their unrealistic fast income goals.

The sooner people realize that working online is the same as running any other kind of business (needs skills, effort and time, and investment) the better.

I know I’m guilty of a little hype myself sometimes, but I try to avoid it and feel bad when I read something I’ve written and see I’d been too pushy with my promo.

I also refuse to promote anything I haven’t reviewed or used. The ‘make money online’ niche would be a far better place if everyone did that rather than hyping every new thing that comes out.

that’s the kind of speech I’d like to hear at Internet Marketing seminars sometimes. Well not just the kind of speech – the EXACT speech.

Too many people give up too easily, and move on to the next hyped thing.

“I have only nine words to say to you boys today.

Never give up
Never give up
Never, never, never.”

At which point he sat down again. I bet that speech was remembered by every boy for the rest of their lives. It sums it all up really

Just wanted to say thanks! Too many people are selling (especially online) the idea of easy money. It’s refreshing to hear someone being honest about hard work. Though, if it’s at something you’re passionate about it doesn’t always seem like hard work.

RE: “know I’ll get some flames for mentioning womens “things” but so be it. They’re a fact of life and I’m just glad I don’t need them.”

Forget flaming, consumables (no matter their purpose) are the way to go! And yes, you should be glad you don’t need them (this of course coming from a woman who knows).
