I have several blogs including Social Media Accounts and I find that all these Advertising Claims from the Traffic Exchange or the Safelist to Social Mediaing (including Facebook Ads) are not true. I guess it boils down exactly what we are advertising and whether there is a crowd waiting to visit your site when they sees you Ads. As a result, I rather let my Blogs sell by itself with all the Backlinks and Comments it can gets from the Visitors. Had even tried SoloAds but the result are not as good as claimed. Also, it is damn expensive!

You might want to find out why and whether something you did is not getting the results you want. As for myself, I am not making great money but every now and then, I earn some pocket money. I guess its still working afterall.

I do not like email marketing as its pretty troublesome at times. The messages within the campaign could get "outdated" over a period of time. Also there is a need to broadcast often or else the list turn "stale" and the subscribers "disappeared" However, there is no choice but to utilize tools such as this in order to stay competitive in the market. My previous experiences with Imnica, TrafficWave, aWeber and now 12 Second Commute shows that there are good and bad email system too else I won't be changing so many times. Fortunately, as Platinum Member of 12SC, all my campaigns, ad trackings, capture page creation are now unlimited, thus reducing so much cost!

Definitely true as explained in your article. The only question is whether the right people can be found first unless its a real niche you have there. I often struggle with whether to 'find the right people first' or just 'prepare what is necessary first'. The only consolation I have is that I have a website running 24x7x365 already while I am looking for them. Is this a viable way of getting things done? I really don't know but its a perspective I have after having been online for 4 to 5 years. How about yourself?

Wow Rudi, great article! Today's prospect has so much choice that they run around like a headless chicken looking for that elusive pot of gold. The problem with them is that they becomes "extremely uncomfortable in trying to learn the system" that they are getting involves with by asking questions on the various shortcuts available from the members of their forum. They are not only freebies seeker, they became "shortcuts seekers" or "answers seekers" in the hope to make money online fast or overnight. C'mon! It's a no brainer that you need to work to get your due dilligence! Even trying your best to win money on the roulette table in a casino is still work for me. If you really want to make money without forking out any cash then EFFORT on your part is still necessary to make it a success. Is there really such an opportunity where you don't need cash upfront, of course there are plenty! The ONLY question is, "How much effort are you going to put it to make that money?" Cheers!

IMHO, Internet Marketing is more difficult than Network Marketing or MLM, the ONLY CONSOLATION is that you do not get objections right in the face unlike MLM which can be pretty demoralizing at times. However, we cannot abstain from such a business model because it had proven to be successful so much so that even MNCs are emulating such a business practice. Like it or not, it is ultimately your personal choice. As the cliche goes" One Man's Meat Is Another Man's Poison!"

Hi Jerry, I do agree that at times we goes "brain freeze". It would be nice if its after a beer session

Most business opportunity today's are multi-leveled commission based. These are exactly the type of business model uses by network marketing business which so many people were "against" in the beginning yet it became the most sought after business model today. Why? Because its Fair! All boils down to the individual own hardwork and dedication. People made lots of money in MLM or Network Marketing because they had worked and talked more about their business than anyone else ;-)
