Just because I am tired of the same question every single day from people who heard about some guy making big money online and figured they could too...
This is not easy. There is not a magic formula. It takes hard work, risk taking, knowledge, intelligence and frankly a little bit of luck.
If you walk in to this forum without some capital to invest, turn around and leave. While a few might have made something out of nothing, the easy money is gone.
If you are looking for a way to work 1-2 hours a day and retire from your job, you are kidding yourself. That is the same bull spun at you by Amway and Carlton Sheets and other make money quick schemes.
I work 12-14 hours per day to make my damn good living. So does Andrew and Jon and I bet anyone else here doing it full time is the same way. How do you expect to compete with Experts who have been doing this for 5+ years, who have contacts and capital to invest and who do it all day every single day if you only have a few dollars, dont know shit, are working on standard commissions and only have a few hours a day to work on this.
If you heard there was good money in ringtones or porn or ________ then you are probably not the first to hear about it. Hundreds if not thousands of other people who know a lot more than you have already taken a shot at it, all but a few failed. Those who succeeded probably failed first, then tweaked, the failed again, then tweaked again, then maybe broke even. Just because they now make tens or hundreds of thousands every month does not mean they did so from the start. Exactly none of them would say "it was easy".
Coming here and expecting me to tell you how to do what I do is not very logical. If you saw a forum written by a stock market trader who said, I will teach you how I make millions for free you would be skeptical. If he tried to charge you $500 to learn then you would know it was bullshit. Same thing with real estate investment or currencies or arbitrage or gambling strategies.
If I had a magic forumla for any of these things, I would not give it away, I certainly would not sell it. If I had a work your ass off forumla, I would not give it away. I might, just maybe hire you and teach you how to make me more money, but I am not just gonna hand you the keys to the kingdom because I am a nice guy.
Get real. This is not easy. It takes money, knowledge, time, and hard work to make it work. If I am repeating myself, it is because it is true.
I may be coming off as an asshole, but I am trying to save you the time, money and hassle. Most of the people who get started in internet marketing never make a positive revenue dollar. If you are not bringing a good idea, some programming skills, some marketing knowledge or a lot of capital to the table, then you are probably going to be one of those masses.
The truth sometimes hurts, not trying to squash anyones dream, but hey you probably are not gonna play in the NBA, get a recording contract or win the lottery either...
Whoever told you life or internet marketing was fair or easy should get a hard kick in the nutz next time you see them.

Perry marshall knows a thing or two about how to use copy and direct mail. Thats the only thing now that i think any business can take from him. Otherwise when it comes to adwords its changing too fast for him to keep up. Especially him not being as technically savy as needed.
