The field is so crowded with marketing guru wannabes that hardly anybody is making money. The few who are, make themselves part of guru circle of special friends. That’s why you see same people promoting each other and giving testimonials every time you read a sales letter for latest marketing ebook or seminar. If you can become a part of inner circle, you have a chance. But do you have cash and resources it takes to do this? How many people can realistically be a part of that lucrative inner circle?

It’s time for a reality check, people. Many of us have lost money trying to run with big dogs.

I say it’s time for a change. It’s okay to read material of big dogs to learn basics of Internet marketing, but then, it’s time to go out on your own. Use that knowledge to come up with your own UNIQUE idea to promote online. Internet marketing is a means to an end for most of us, not way to wealth.

If you don’t believe me, ask all those other folks who have tried and given up. If you’re getting discouraged, don’t throw in towel just yet. Try being yourself. That’s right. Let your hair down. Time to put your dog to bed. Remake that loser marketing site into something you really enjoy pursuing. Maybe you won’t make millions like Mark, but I guarantee you’ll have a lot more fun online.
