Definitely we need to had a lot of patiente to make our first income on the first months, because a lot of people give up because they think that his work is not properly or they think that they do it in a bad way.

So it’s important to be patiente, also we need to know how to be in front page of Google with certain keywords, and well all of this knowledge take time and we need to take in consideration that we’re not going to be rich in weeks or months.

This is a learning, like a new language

Yup, I learned so much from this article and know an in-depth meaning of the word entrepreneur. Finding great business opportunities and money-making ventures online is really hard especially when you are a first-timer. But what I learned in this blog is really helpful. Thanks really for the information that I got because they are really helpful. I love the blog and hope to read more of these from the author! Nice job!

great article, “Most of them did not publish a book on how to make money on the goldfields.” made me laugh out loud. I’m sure some goldminers dug in the same spot forever never getting anything while others moved around until they struck gold. Anyway i really enjoyed your analogies.

I also very much agree that this is only the very beginning. I live in a country that is part of the European Union and is, let’s say, pretty developed but it still has a long way to go. Even so all the big brands are here yet their internet advertising budget is tiny, below 1% of all expenditure I think. But, that is a lot more than even 2 years ago. I believe we will see a big shift in advertising to the net (even in very developed countries like the US, UK or others the percentage of budgets allocated for online ads is very very small).
The advertisers are starting to see that internet advertising is a lot more quantifiable. TV used to be the big thing and it still costs an arm and a leg for 30 seconds, in some cases there are so many zeros on the end of the price tag that you feel like fainting, but people now use commercial breaks as loo breaks and the advertisers are beginning to pick up on it. Someone will wake up and figure out that internet advertising is a lot more cost effective since production costs are much lower than tv and print, the “rent” is also a lot less (how many ads can you get for a 10,000 USD 30 second clip?) and it is targeted and quantifiable.
They know that if I go online to search for purple ferret sweaters (it is fixated in my mind from TKA lol) then I will click on their ads if they sell sweaters.
One of the biggest expenditures for these guys is advertising. If they can reduce costs and still get more exposure then i believe that is when the gold rush will truly start.
My 0.02 anyhow…

Great article as always Lis.

Lis, with still half the world off the Internet and new technologies always evolving the opportunities are endless. Only limited by what we think, but hasn’t this been the way capitalism has worked? As long as capitalism is alive we will always be looking for the gold, that’s the way it is.

Great analogy. I think the perseverance thing is the key and the more I read about internet marketing (ignoring the get rich quick sites!) the more I find that if you stick at it and test, experiment, test, you’ll get there. So I’m going to keep digging until I do!

Cheers, Chloe
