The Myth of Internet Marketing: aka "The Golden Carrot"

Written by Cathy Smith


Why am I so mad I could throw my computer right out of my upstairs window?

Well, I'll tell you. But first I want to tell you who I am.

My name is Cathy Smith and I work at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan. Inrepparttar past two yearsrepparttar 120068 Governer of our state has cutrepparttar 120069 state funding for higher education by a whopping 20%. This has resulted in layoffs and job eliminations at our university.

We used to have a four person office but now thanks to university DOWNSIZING we only have a two person office.

I am one ofrepparttar 120070 "lucky" ones who survivedrepparttar 120071 cuts and still have a job. I not only have my own job butrepparttar 120072 jobs ofrepparttar 120073 two people in our office who were eliminated. So now I have three FULL-TIME jobs. See how lucky I am?

I am so lucky to come home very night too exhausted to spend quality time with family and friends, too exhausted to devote any time to my hobbies, too exhausted to do any ofrepparttar 120074 things I love to do. My health is suffering from stress and overwork. I have developed migraines and IBS. I can't sleep at night.

Are you a victim of "downsizing"? Do you hate your job? Are you sick of coming home too tired to enjoy your life?

Then listen up!

I decided to do something about it. I got onrepparttar 120075 internet and started looking for ways to start my own home business. I figured if I'm going to kill myself working, it might as well be for myself!

I typed in home business and a whopping 40,000,000+ webpages popped up. Wow! I thought I must really be on to something.

So I started to read some of these webpages.

And that's how I foundrepparttar 120076 "Golden Carrot"!
