Written by Stefan Everaet


Continued from page 1

Literally thousands of people venture out intorepparttar world of online business every week. These businesses come in many shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: failure rates.

A whopping 90% of all would-be online money-makers never do make a profit. They invest their time, their creativity, and worst of all, their hard-earned money in business ventures and opportunities that never make them a single cent. Perhapsrepparttar 121664 most discouraging part about all this is that these people don't even know why they are failing.

Let me tell you a little-known secret that everyone needs to know. The reason why 90% of us aren't making any money, despite all our hard work, is that we just aren't cut out for marketing. It's not our fault, and it's not because we're not smart or don't work hard enough. You see, we've been told all along that ANYONE can succeed online, and then we expect that to be true. In reality, however, real marketers are a rare breed... a breed who possessesrepparttar 121665 gift of persuasion, snappy writing, and basically talking people out of their money. These people are few and far between, which is why successful salespeople are amongrepparttar 121666 highest paid on earth.

So, what can you do to become one of these rare specimens? Sadly, nothing. Can you learn to become a successful marketer? Probably not. Unless you naturally possessrepparttar 121667 "marketing gene," and haverepparttar 121668 best luck inrepparttar 121669 world, you probably won't find real success online as long as you're trying to dorepparttar 121670 marketing yourself.

Now, what I just said isrepparttar 121671 key: "as long as you're trying to dorepparttar 121672 marketing yourself." There are plenty of marketing experts out there, real gurus, who know what they're doing and THRIVE on it. Why not elicit their help?

If you think you can't afford to hire an expert, you're wrong. After all, if they're going to help you make money, you'll already be one step ahead of where you are. Many of them are looking to team up with people just like you, because they know they stand to make money if they help you out. They love what they do, and they need you just as much as you need them. Many have set up networks where they partner with you, automate your campaign, and simply take a commission of everyone else that signs up. It's simple, and it works.
