If you're new to internet marketing you may worry that the gurus, those who got there ahead of you, control Internet marketing and have already pulled out most profits. Think again. If nothing else, they make it easier for those who come later to use this money pit.
My first experience with the Internet in 1987. I worked with a Commodore Amiga computer, which is the envy of my friends, because he had 25K memory. Do not laugh. It was a great computer.
In 1994, using the IBM, I started my first Internet project, helping new musicians to publish their work, find a decent management, and network with each other. I was dealing with hundreds of subscribers using a slow modem and dial up connections. My Internet Service Provider is one thing - they allowed me to get online. I had never heard of the auto-responder. There was no opt-in forms. All this is done via e-mail. I was closed twice for spam, because my ISP can not believe someone actually fit in with that many people.
So, why am I boring you with war stories about the bad old days? Not only is IM Pioneers earn their status as a guru, they give you all the toys and tools that you take for granted today. Because they are able to work faster, easier and more profitably than they ever dreamed of doing. Envy them, but thank them, too. They were the first prospectors in the Internet gold rush. They are the ones who showed you where the gold is.
OK, please bear with me as I make a quantum leap from the 21st century, back in 1849 gold rush in California. Most of those early prospectors arrived in California with nothing more than the shirts on their backs. They had a dream, and absolutely no experience. Some of them found gold. Some of them have died. Most of them went home, broke. Sound familiar? Remember that we are actually talking about Internet marketing, here.
You gave the 49ers the same tools that today's prospectors are still in use today. Select axes and pans have given way to shut off boxes and dredges that can pick up the first gold prospectors missed. I have actually panned for gold in those same streams and come away impressed with my few flakes of gold. Metal detectors, diving gear, four wheel drive vehicles, ATVs and go where those early prospectors could never find the gold and can never reach. The price of gold today, I know that if I ever, I can withdraw $ 100 a day from people who worked across the stream and there is still a possibility that I could find the mother lode.
What I am trying to say is that there is still gold in "them thar 'hills Internet. It's not laying there on top of the country. You have to dig deeper to find it (think about niche marketing), and use more sophisticated tools to extract, but it's still there and those early prospectors who are today gurus, they are showing you where the gold is mine, and how it . Go for it!
