Been itching to get this off my chest.
I don’t really care for “labels” like “newbies” or “gurus” and it is meaningless to me, saying that, the “label” is just the common form of the communicational understanding, so in that sense…I’ll use them here.
For good reason, with a foot in IM, a foot in blogging, a foot in social (twitter, facebook, forums, feed sharing, etc) sites, I hope to have a leg or two, at least, to stand on… 
)
I am certainly no “newbie”…I’m no expert either just to be clear. 
That’s the thing, I don’t claim to be anything other than me, I have just done what I have done, learnt what I have learnt, and continue to do these things daily. I do have the benefit of experience and the fact I have gone through that learning curve which is in some way a good enough reason to write this.
If anything due to the time online being like dog years it could save you aload of hassle, wasted time and money while being led down the wrong “slicked out path” of some “guru” or scammer.
There ain’t no magic pill that’s for sure!
Did I look??
Of course, some will say yes, just by saying what most newbies do at some point, “how can I make money from that,” nodding and pointing to your pc. ;o)
In 2009 there will be a LOT of people doing just that!
Is it possible then? Yes…but overnight? NO, not for a “newbie.”
What is possible is to start building that chain of action that can lead to “overnight riches”….note I never said success, success is purely subjective, to make money online is not success..
In reality I’d rather you dropped the whole notion if you have any, of it is “easy” which is what the “gurus” would have you believe.
This holiday season has been a little eye opener for me, it seems to me most of the “gurus” are either, liars who getting caught out, “dream” salesmen who don’t care, too greedy for their own good, or just plain insulting….possibly they are a mix of all.
A few are just “one hit wonders” who are now realising they have nothing left to offer, so rehash their (often outdated) crap and sell for unusually high prices.
A few even peddled their crap on Christmas day!
If they were as rich as they have said so often over the last few years why are they so desperate to drain your wallet/purse of the one thing you need more than them, money?
They promise you will make more money, yet take that very thing off you without a care in the world.
They shouldn’t need it like most of those who will inevitably seek a few extra pounds, dollars in these belt tightening, unsure times.
They think they have the trust they all too often say it’s so important to build up! They will even preach this very thing to those newbies they lure. ;o)
I know…It’s ok, I’m not going anywhere, I’ll wait for you get off the floor from your laughing fit.
A joke is it not! ;o)
They are so “predictable” these greedy “fakers” it is sad.
Yet they are after your money, they will try and entice the newbies yet to appear in the fishing bowl that is Internet marketing, making money online niche, with promises of “push button, cash in” ease of riches.
Forget about them!
Do this….use your common sense at all times. ;o)
Here is my biggest tip for anyone online.
Treat the Internet how you would “real” life.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
You would laugh at this stuff offline…much like you do with “junk mail.”
You know this, we all know this…so why do some get so burned so easy, so fast?
Same reason people but lotto tickets maybe?
They want the easy way, the dream, all at once.
It pushes all the right buttons. ;o)
Do yourself a big favour and don’t get “lured in” by the wrong people.
Don’t you think that’s sensible? )
Grab the button.
