Internet Marketing The Reality

I did what I thought was a lot of homework by reading information written by different people. I asked a lot of questions from anyone that would return my emails. As I mentioned earlier, all of these plans were "sure fire" and you could not fail if you followed any of them as instructed.

I'm not that naive but I knew that some of the plans sounded more realistic than others. It's is amazing how the internet makes experts out of so many people. The plan that I chose to follow was not cheap but it did present more information from start to finish than most of the others. As most, this one was presented as the solution that made the author successful and gave him the ranking of "guru".

I followed the plan as closely as I could but not completely understanding every point. I purchased the recommended templates to make the job go more smoothly. As mentioned in one of the earlier posts, this was an area that was the most difficult for me to understand and the most difficult to get technical assistance from the template maker. The first time that I heard the word template, I had no idea how it worked and how it connected with all the parts.

Another area that a lot of the gurus and other marketers come up short in is the area of understanding people and newbies to the industry especially. They take for granted that by listening to them, you should know as much as they do. Some need a lesson in customer service and satisfaction. It seems that once they have sold their product, they could care less if you are successful or not.

Another thing to keep in mind, is that if you buy from someone who puts himself/herself on a pedistal and feels that their time is to important to communicated directly with you, run fast in the other direction. Believe me, your best interest is not a part of their thinking.

I'm running out of time tonight but if I can help anyone or answer any questions, please let me know. I'll continue later.

Thanks,
