Finding the facts of the Internet game....

Early this morning, I received this phone call from one of the multiple auto responders on line. Apparently, I signed up for a trial version of their services; which I don't recall doing...as with a lot of things on line that I join, mindlessly, trying to find that one 'magic' spot that will explain everything to me, and who will hold my hand as we walk through the pertinent steps of creating my online business.

Anyway, getting back to the phone call, even though the person talking to me was very indignant that I was asking her questions regarding how to create a 'warm list'; because without that 'magical list' I would have no need for her services...right?...

At the end of the discussion I was trying to tell her that even though I asked her to remove me from her services since it would be silly for me to pay for a service without having that' list' this conversation was not useless as I had learned a lot from her answers to me regarding creating a list...she hung on me in the middle of it.

So, my point here is that no matter what the situations are that we find our self in there is always the opportunity to learn something valuable that will move us along this arduous journey...

The Balancing Act

Whooo..before my day actually began, today, my roommate comes out cursing God for his on going knee and back pain... The only reason I write this is because trying to support him is difficult..and raises the question, How do we balance caring for those in our life with doing the work that we must also do?

What are the problems?

Some people carry on like babies when they are sick trying to make the caretaker feel guilt should the caretaker continue on with the other responsibilities in the home that needs attention; in this case, meeting the daily goals in the home office.

Any insight would be gratefully accepted

Returning from the Internet abyss

I've been away for a long time.

Being lost in the Inter net's "Make your Millions here on line" game

It really is a win- loss game. And it is directed toward the vulnerable on line

The other day I was going from email after email reading all of the "so called" promises of success...finally I got enraged and wrote the following email, and I began sending it out to the next few emails that I received:



My greatest frustration in marketing as a newbie is knowing where and how to get traffic....are safe lists, writing articles, and others the way to..???

Like, how and where do you set-up a marketing plan, an email campaign etc????????????????????????????????????????????

Not mention finding a buying audience for the first time

You all, forget to mention this in all of your wonderful squeeze pages.

If the truth were to be known you guys are keeping this part of "Success equation" to your self..as long as we keep buying your products from your sales letters, video's, banner ads only to mention a few....

You have the prize = Our Money

By the way, did you personally send this email to me, or do you have a private group of advertiser's such as outsourcing to India or wherever where-in you only have to pay them penny's compared to the dollars you would have to pay one of us to do the same work for you?

I'm getting really really tired of all of your false promises...While I'm struggling to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table you're sitting back laughing at our vulnerability because once again I bought into your false promises to help me to succeed 0n line by making sure you have your asses covered with your "no profit guarantee clauses".

When you entered into this game you play with us, did you leave your conscience out side the door or outside of your minds?

Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame
