Part of the learning curve here with IM is staying up to date and associating with people. For me I found this by going to everyone's best friend Google and did a search for "internet marketing forum"
I came to see how serious people are by viewing the threads and responding and sharing my experience as well as gain new insights.
This industry of IM (internet marketing) has helped me see things differently and begin to change my results. The people involved in this industry as well as the people who are serious about getting going is some of the most best people to be around in my opinion.
