It seems like at least once a week I get one of my students calling me about how they’re quitting their job. Does working in the corporate sphere really suck that bad? It got me thinking.

Paid vacations, fortune 500 benefits, great salary, bonuses, company car…life couldn’t be greater…right? If it’s such a great gig, why do so many people spend 80% of their working day thinking about how much they hate it? The answer is simple, it’s engrained in our DNA.

Really. I’m a scientist* so I should know :)
(scientist=high school drop out)

In all seriousness…throughout history mankind has striven to explore, to lead, to create, and to invent. It seems to bring us a feeling of greatness that can only be achieved through entrepreneurship. While working for someone else CAN be fulfilling, there is a certain group of “unemployables” who will always know, they are destined to go out on their own.

For me, I couldn’t keep a job. I hated working for other people…really I hated listening to them because they wouldn’t listen to me. I wanted my ideas heard. I wanted to create and invent. To be noticed. I eventually realized that the workplace wasn’t for me. I quickly go out of it and over a short period of time became finacially free online. I made more money online in a month that I had in a year working for other people…

Fast forward a few years and I own a multi-million dollar company teaching others my secrets to success.

Fortunately, it’s not as hard to do as many think which is why I get so many people calling me about their “quit” day. Most of them have a specific date set in their minds and strive to reach it. A few, do it on a whim after they generate a quick 5 figures online.

If you want to reach that goal, you need to have one set. Sounds simple but it’s the first step. Set your quitting date because…working sucks.

One of the most important things you can learn about making money online is networking OFF-line!

Excitement is now building for the August “Gateway To Wealth” seminar in Orlando. It’s going to be a great event and the staff are pulling out all the stops. The list of speakers is awesome and includes Christine Comaford-Lynch, who is a world-class celebrity these days!

Why am I telling you this? Just to advertize?

No! I’m telling you because you NEED to be there. One of the most important teachings about Internet marketing is that you need to meet and interact with people in the real world, not just cyberspace. All of us really committed to this business can tell you categorically that the most important connections we made — the ones which spurred our business on to real wealth — were at live events.

Just to sit at home and read eBooks and listen to audios about how Internet marketing is done is not enough. You can’t learn to be a brain surgeon from books.

OK, Internet marketing isn’t brain surgery. But it’s still complex and subtle. You learn by doing. You learn by speaking with people who have already gone before. They know how it works.

Here’s something to think about: I have observed that everyone in this business is willing to talk with beginners and share what they know. True, on the websites people post copyright notices and want you to pay for their knowledge. But offline, everyone is informal and has no sense of competitiveness. It’s sharing and caring.

In any case, it’s not just about meeting with the speakers and talking to them. Your fellow attendees are also good contacts. You can meet people, like yourself, who are just learning. But that doesn’t mean they are not already doing well.

I’ve had attendees with a 50,000 list in my audiences. You get to talk with them over coffee or cocktails and you will probably learn as much that way as you will sitting taking notes in the auditorium. You can find partners for JVs too.

You have to have an offline presence to succeed n the Internet. Believe me.

Here’s a FREE event (a $100 deposit is refunded as soon as you send proof you booked your flight or hotel).

You gotta go! It’s as simple as that…

Ok ok…so I went a little over board with my “Death Of” title but seriously…one of the big problems internet marketers make when trying to make money online is that they promote affiliate products…

Wait…why’s that a big deal? Simply because they’re not building a list in the process which could be the biggest key to getting paid. After all if you promote an affiliate link and don’t make the sale, how can you ever get that person to take a second look? You can’t, until now…

Most internet marketing newbie’s start off promoting their website by looking for free methods to drive traffic. I personally used traffic exchanges, article marketing, safelists, press releases, and even search engine optimization (SEO). None of those methods drove traffic as much as my article marketing methods…

Now there’s a fantastic easy way to get articles circulated virally, without any work. I only wish Mike Filsaime’s brilliant new resource had been available when I started out… Read more »
