Internet Marketing - 7 Good Reasons to Quit
Internet Marketing is a great way to create income, but it definitely can test your patience.
I never liked saying the "Q" word, but I sure have thought about it a lot during my journey to victory online.
Here are just a few of the troublemakers...
Overwhelmed I am somewhat technically-challenged anyway, which doesn't help, but this is becoming ridiculous.
The amount of information overload is incredible.
FTP, SQL, MYSQL,URL, PHP, HTML, XML, RSS, SEO, TAG, META TAG, WEB2.
0, VIRAL, HOSTING, DOMAIN, NAMESERVER, AUTORESPONDER, PERMALINKS, DEL.
ICIO.
US, FLASH, WIDGETS, PLUGINS.
Too much stuff.
I am losing it.
I am overwhelmed.
I QUIT.
Confused I already have enough trouble making decisions - it took 6 months to finally decide to become an affiliate marketer.
Now, it's like I opened Pandora's Box.
Too many choices.
Too many steps.
Too many ways to "optimize" - articles, videos, blogging, social bookmarking, backlinks, SEO, Facebook, Twitter.
Too many emails.
Too many gurus telling me that their program is the best.
I am confused.
I QUIT.
Frustrated Just when I think I finally get something figured out, they introduce me to a term I've never heard of.
It's like playing Monopoly - I get almost all the way around the board and somebody sends me back to jail.
I spent hours trying to build a website, only to end up with a "Page Error 404" or something like that.
It seems like everybody else gets in, gets started, and makes $10,000 the first minute.
It feels like I'm spending $10K a minute, not to mention the weeks that I have put in so far.
This is not my cup of tea.
I am totally frustrated.
I QUIT.
Can't Choose a Niche I'm not an really an expert at anything that somebody else would consider very interesting - unless waking up to an alarm clock and driving to work every day for 40 years makes me a freeway expert! And I'm not really that passionate about anything.
Yeah, I exercise regularly, and I try not to eat too much of the bad stuff - but I've never run a marathon or boycotted a grocery store chain.
When I do come up with an idea, Google tells me that 4,298,621 other people think it is a great idea too.
So much for being original or unique.
Too much competition.
I can't choose a niche.
I QUIT.
Can't Write It has taken me hours just to get this far writing this stupid article.
I had it all outlined in my head at 3:30 this morning, but I seem to have developed a mental block.
My wife says I am too much of a perfectionist, but I don't trust her judgement - she can't even park the car parallel to the garage wall.
(It's always at a slight angle!) I just don't think I was cut out to be a writer.
I QUIT.
Don't Have a Video Camera I've tried making videos of myself (ugh!) All I see is a big nose on a crooked face that belongs to someone much older than I am.
I can't get far enough away from the screen so that I can avoid the nostrils and still read my crudely fashioned teleprompter without wearing my glasses.
But when I put them on, all I see is the reflection of the window over my desk.
I'd go buy a video camera, but now they are telling me that they are going to start taxing my Social Security, so I guess I'm stuck with my built-in Webcam.
I QUIT.
Can't Get Any Help Whose idea was the "support Ticket" thing? I think the Gurus came up with that so they wouldn't have to actually communicate with anyone personally.
"Contact Us" really means: "Thank you for sending us your money - NOW DON'T BOTHER US ANYMORE!" It's easier to get in touch with my congressman.
I can't get any help...
there's nobody to call.
I QUIT.
However, as we all know "WINNERS NEVER QUIT AND QUITTERS NEVER WIN" So I guess I won't quit yet...
