I have been involved with Internet Marketing for a few years, mostly learning what to do. I have spent a few thousand dollars learning how to market on the net and am getting tired of failure and mediocre results. The main thing I can say about the experience is that it taught me a lot of things but didnt net me much money.

I know about Autoresponders, forums, classified ads, solo ads in ezines, articles, setting up my own websites and hosting, HTML, SEO, Adsense, Adwords and other PPCs, Traffic Exchanges, and the like...I've spent money on all of these. I am a computer systems/network administrator for my day job so there is no learning curve when it comes to computer knowledge. To me, there should be no reason I cannot earn a living this way but it still has eluded me thus far.

The reason why I keep trying, despite the monster of doubt which always seems to be lurking around the corner, is because its scarier to think that I will be working in the same types of jobs for the rest of my life or even the next few years. I am tired of going to work for someone else everyday, being in the same traffic, going to someone else's office to do the same thing day after day, year after year, having to ask for permission to take time off, etc. I dont think life is meant to be this way, atleast not for me.

I feel I can do all thiese things for myself if I can only learn to cover my daily needs some other way than a "job". I need to get out of the "job" mentality and the boredom it brings me. I know I will never be happy in any "job" no matter how good it may be. Theres nothing worse than knowing that tomorrow will be exactly like today which was just like yesterday. I want something different. I need something different.

That life, which I am currenly living, scares me more than the "what-ifs" that pop up into my mind when I am trying to do something better for myself. I want to go to my own office, which belongs to me, not my boss. I bought an investment property and would like to continue to do this without worrying about money. I want to be able to buy a brand new Saleen Mustang Cobra I want with cash. I want to be able to buy the home of my dreams without a second thought. I want to be able to help others achieve the same things in life. I cant do it when I am struggling myself. I believe the internet can make this happen.

I know people make a lot of money doing the very same things I have already tried but I have not made any which has exceeded my costs. I am still in the hole when it comes to that. But I have made money though and received checks solely from the internet so i know its not only possible, but its a reality that you can make money using your computer.
