Then get to know who you are working with – they are your best teacher after all they introduced you to this opportunity. Ask them why they joined. What did they do to become successful? What mistakes did they make when they started out? What can they recommend you do?

These things will help you get to know who company is that you enrolled with. Then you should get to know products or services they offer. Pick one to three products or services to memorize each day. What is name? What is beneficial about this product? What is price? How reliable is it?

It is my personal opinion that you really need to know your company and its products or services in order to be really successful. Your growth will naturally come after you are knowledgeable and comfortable with company and it products or services.

Why? Because I was inspired!

And for no other reason whatsoever at all!

Until...

That fateful day arrived when suddenly it hit me.

WHAP!!!

"Here's your stinkin' milk. And you can thank state for food stamps, too."

Hmmm. Could something be wrong here? Could something not quite be going according to plan?

Wait, wait, I think I've got it.

I'M NOT MAKING ANY MONEY!!!

But.. But.. I'm inspired! What more is there to do?!

"Ah-ha," I said.

I've got inspiration, true, but why am I following around all these other inspired idiots instead of real marketers that are actually making money!

I had bought into excitement instead of truth. I sought rewards before I created system. I had joined countless masses instead of looking to counting -- money that is -- few that had inspired them!

Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh....

"Why are you smacking yourself on head?" I was suddenly asked.

"Go back to sleep, dear. It's just an Internet thing."

Well, ok, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but there is a point to all of this. There are many, and I do mean many, who want to earn a living selling information on how to market online.

That's great, but don't you think we should get our information, and inspiration, from those that actually HAVE sold things online?

I really wasn't all that stupid when I first got online, it's just that there is SO much out there to be confused about. That is, IF you let yourself.

While Internet is mind boggling because of numbers it can produce, common sense still abounds. Maybe not in it's inspired idiots, but definitely in it's actual workings.

Things happen faster, but many of basic rules are still same.

*People only pay for what they perceive to be beneficial. *Only those selling beneficial products will make money. *Trust and confidence still play an important role in buyer's minds. *If no one knows who you are, where you are, or what you selling, you won't have any customers!

Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh....

Take it from a recovering inspired idiot. Please, be careful who you learn from.
