How to avoid Internet marketing misery

Every day I meet people who want to make their fortune online. They all dream of earning money while they sleep. What they want is a “quick fix”; they want to make a large profit with very little input. “What’s the secret?” they ask me. “How do you earn money while you sleep?”. Well, here’s the secret that will help you avoid Internet marketing misery…I work hard. Yes, I do earn money while I’m asleep, but it’s because of all the effort I put in when I’m awake. There is a vast amount of complete tosh on the Internet about making millions by teatime without lifting a finger. Don’t believe it. The most successful Internet entrepreneurs are those who put in a great deal of meticulous planning. Yes, they can take long holidays each year; yes they can afford fancy cars, new houses and extra holiday homes. But when they are at their desk they are focusing on the detail. They micro manage each project so that they know it will work.

I’ve been working with several would-be Internet entrepreneurs and many of them want the online success, but don’t actually commit themselves to the amount of detailed planning that needs to be done.

Luckily, today, I’ve discovered a report which highlights this conundrum and helps Internet marketers focus on what they really need to do in practical terms to succeed online. You can find the report, “The Magic Formula” at http://www.magicformulabook.com. Strangely, it’s not “magic” and it’s not a “formula”; but it is sensible, no-nonsense, practical advice you can use.
