Patience, patience!

The internet now provides instantaneous information that used to take a trip to the library and hours of looking through card catalogues and book after book to discover.

Computers work at virtually the speed of light and people have become reliant on getting results quickly and efficiently.

But in the world of making money on the internet, things are different. There is a certain tedium required and due diligence that harkens back to the days of sliderules and rectal thermometers.

So you join AGLOCO and get your referral link.

You go on over to Forgeturl to get it shortened and this enables you to post on Craigslist

You post two ads on Craigslist to see what happens. Nothing.

You go over to the AGLOCO website to get a sample email that you can send out.

You send it to two friends to see what happens. Nothing.

For 99% of you, that is the end of it. It's too hard. Not worth it.

Some people actually get lucky with the above activities and this keeps them going, but typically for only a week or so before they also get tired of prospecting.

Other unlucky people see an internet ad that promises millions of hits and sign up only to throw their money away!

The people that actually succeed are the ones that have patience! They realize that ultimately it is a numbers game. It takes a certain amount of posting  and sending emails to get a certain number of hits. Conversions (hits that sign up) typically range in the 1% - 3% neighborhood. And that is for TARGETED hits, ie people that are interested in this type of thing.

They also think outside the box. Find ways of promoting that other haven't thought of yet. Get into a club and spread the word. This can result in hundreds of great referrals.

The good news is things stay around on the internet for a long time. I am still getting hits from posts I made years ago. So my advice is spend a half an hour a day posting. It takes a few weeks to start seeing results, but then it starts to click (no pun intended!)

Is it worth it? The answer is clearly yes, as many internet marketers make a six figure income with the best of the best making millions. You can be a complete failure and still make $500 a month!
