Where is Your Creative Marketing Idea?

We all start somewhere in our marketing - I for one started at the bottom - I knew nothing. But then I didn't even know that. I thought it would be easy.

I thought the Internet would prove itself to be my magic pill to immediate financial success. . .

That if I believed just hard enough all my dreams would come true overnight. Now with the gift of reflection, I'm glad I have had to work for success. It's been a rough road, but as they say "success is not a destination."

Sometimes when I talk to folks whom are just starting in their Internet careers they ask me: "how quickly can I make money with this?" To be honest, I hate that question more than any other, because I know what they want me to say, "oh you can make money right away" because in theory they can, but that wouldn't be the truth.

I don't say this of course, I'm very up front about the fact that "earning" money on the Internet isn't like going to a job, you don't earn a wage. . . in my experience it's an accumulation of skills up until the point where your personal knowledge hits a critical mass where everything "just makes sense".

Understand you must add value to the Internet to expect a reward from it. . . It's a slow process and the Search Engines (the lifeblood of all Internet Business) are getting better and better at weeding out those who don't add value to them. Every time Google's algorithms dance many of those who try to scrape by through SEO tricks, and low value site gets scoured from mother Google's pages.

People need to start writing well to really reap the rewards that Google and the other Search Engines have to bestow upon them. It took me a long time to realize this, but once I did I was off to the races.


Go forward and let your creative marketing ideas shine.
