Throwing good money after bad is common in business. Most people are either embarrassed or mortify to put a fair price on their product or service, thus accustom potential customers to freebie-ville. No money tree in that philosophy.

Money is either a power for good or for bad.  You are the determiner of which way it is used.

Money can buy freedom from wage slavery or cause you to chase it like a dog trying to catch its tail.  It can make you appear to be great, even though deep inside you may feel unhappy, insecure and empty.

It all starts by finding a market or creating one.  Then you must develop a campaign to let your target market know that you exist and can help them solve an urgent need or desire.  And then…bingo, the money starts to flow in torrents, right?  Nope!

The majority of Mom and Pop stores do not work very well offline or online.  Mom and Pop may have some regulars dropping by, but most of them only want to shoot the breeze rather than buy a product or service.  Mom and Pop stay open to accommodate their friends and fellow travelers, but they often just eek out a living.  Their store or site concept is DOA (Dead On Arrival) in the Internet Age.

The maestros can’t emphasize to us enough that we need to scientifically market, promote to a target market using the combined power of free and pay-per-click search engines, news releases, listings in search directories, development of friendly websites and through blogs and social networks.

If all these elements of marketing are orchestrated properly, the maestro – if he is worth his weight in gold – can help you to generate a strong and highly profitable business online which could generate hundreds’ of thousands a dollars a year or more.

This video revealing billionaire Bill Bartmann's Business "secret" blew me away. What do you think?

This guy went from bankrupt-to-billionaire and 25th wealthiest American.

For all but a privileged few, the age of male workers earning the bacon and wives staying in the home has all but come to an abrupt end.  Evidence of that change is stark.

Japan, once home to families with five or six children, are now dotted with double-income, no-children families out of economic necessity.  Children dig too deeply into the prosperity of modern-day couples and the birthrate has thus taken a precipitous drop, threatening the prosperity of Japan for the rest of the Twenty-First Century.  And Japan is not alone in this trend.

A sobering truth is that the cost of caring for the silver population in conjunction with the drastic drop in birthrate spells disaster for many countries unwilling or unable to embraced the paradigm shift to the Internet.  Statistics bear out that most of us will need to die before eighty or live in dire poverty.  If you struggle to live on two incomes during your working years, then living on half that gross salary after retirement will surely be a living hell.

The clarion call from the most sincere Internet maestros instills us with a new lease on life.  We suddenly feel like we have a legitimate chance to move from living on the edge to living in the big house on the hill.  We have delicious visions of traveling the world while earning phenomenal income which far surpasses any that could be accrued in the time-for-money linear income world.

I truly believe that with proper training and perspective, a rank amateur of ANY age or circumstance can find a road to success which was totally unavailable to the average bloke of the last century.

Here is the truth, believe it or not, about online success:

There are very successful, high-integrity people online who have built marketing empires from scratch with little to no investment capital to start.  Moreover, many of them have then gone on to teach others their proven, duplicative systems from which the founder earns additional residuals every time an affiliate/partner makes a sale.

Many novices – once taught a given success strategy or system – are able to surpass their mentors by once again developing an affiliate network based on their own unique product and training system.

The whip cream on this cake is that quite a number of the success stories were, at first, technically challenged.

The drawback is that less than one percent of the wannabes will ever finish the book or install the system they purchase from the maestro…and develop a very unhealthy skepticism of Internet Marketing and its future.
