How many times have you read about people who make lots of money fast by using internet marketing? How many emails have you received telling you about the next thing out that’s going to have you packing in your day job in no time at all? This sounding familiar to you?

Are you wondering just how much effort it takes to at least make a part time living on the internet? You may have been trying for months, maybe even longer - but still no real and true success to show for it - no hard cash yet in your Paypal account nor checks in the post.

You may well be aware of what it feels like to support a young family? Even though you have a full time income from your day job, You are so desperate to leave that day job behind and enjoy the flexibility of internet marketing instead. That way you can spend quality time with your wife and children. The kids are growing up and you do not want to miss out on their childhood.

You have tried so many different methods to make an income from the internet now that you are almost beginning to lose faith in it. After all - how much longer can you be expected to go on and on investing so much time, effort and money into things that simply don’t work for you?

You have tested the directory submission methods only to find that most of the directories now charge a fee if you are to get a guaranteed submission. If you were to pay for each one you would soon be flat broke! How to make lots of money fast?

How long has it taken to get this far and how many different methods have you tried?

You tried the PLR article route too - using articles and submitting them to article directories. This though has led to a number of rejections of your articles due to the lack of fresh content penalty. And to make it fresh - because there are just so many other people using the same PLR articles - really does take quite a bit of commitment and time. Although you have the commitment, for now, its the time factor that’s the problem. You could go to Elance.com or Guru.com and advertise but how much can you afford to pay per good quality article to be written?

Do you sometimes feel like you are banging your head against a brick wall? If only it was as easy as all those emails have been promising it is and continue to promise! But then if it was everyone would be doing internet marketing.

The fact is, it is very difficult to get going in internet marketing, let alone to make lots of money fast. I know it is as I have been personally trying to make my income purely internet-based now for almost a year without much success at all. I’ve set up the websites - one after the other - and then wondered where all the traffic was that was “promised” to me.

Some years ago now I invested in Cory Rudl’s Internet Marketing Tips course. I read the documents that were posted to me from cover to cover and thought that although I don’t fully understand all the concepts, it should not be too difficult to implement the ideas. The point being that back in 2002 internet marketing was a different ball game to what it is now. Back then it was more a case of getting some keywords and building a simple website around the keywords and the traffic would come to your website. No need for much in the way of marketing the website at all.

Now though things have changed, the goal posts have been moved far from where they once were. Its not the case of getting some keywords, building a website and the traffic floods in. Competition for internet marketing is so, so much stiffer now than ever before. Sure - building a website or blog is much easier than previously but its not about just grabbing keywords and hey presto! So, how to go about getting traffic to your website? How to make lots of money fast from your internet marketing pursuits? Anyone for beating adwords?
