Making money with Internet marketing is not easy. It's been said that 5% or less of net marketers make enough money to buy a decent dinner or a pizza. But those 'want-a-be net gurus' are spending the dinner money, the food money and in some sad cases going into big debt trying to find the Holy Grail to 6 figure incomes.

I have experience with this and don't want to have any more experiences like that. I hate telling my wife that I know I'm on the right track, that I can find the secret, only to find I'm just losing at the whole game. Or prematurely quit your job when the income seems to be flowing only to find Google, Yahoo or MSN have changed their Adsense contextual ad algorithms or Adwords is draining your bank account faster than the Rooter Router man and then watch your income drop precipitously.

Well, don't jump overboard yet, as the ship is only leaking a bit, and you can break out the bilge pumps to keep you afloat.

I am speaking from all the experience I've had personally, and spending a lot of money (thousands of dollars) on ebooks, training, software, etc. thinking that each one contained the secret to wealth.

Don't get distracted by every wonderful sounding ebook or training program or software item that comes around. Only use these things if it fits into your own plan for marketing on the Internet. Otherwise, like 95% of the others who follow that path, you will fail.

Hopefully you won't have to keep looking for that magic potion if you follow specific steps such as these:

After the battle is over, the winners were found to have:

1. Luck (where action meets opportunity)

2. Determination -- you really have to be focused and not get distracted from your success plan.

3. Guts (having the intestinal fortitude to think 'outside the box'.)

4. Vision Know where you are going so you don't flounder.
