Reason Why Internet marketing

I would like to share the experience of learning to be an internet marketer, since the inception of that thought since August 2005, and the reasons behind it.

At 20s of age : graduated from university in the 1980s, looking for employment was the 1st thing in mind. Scouted around, send out resumes and attended interviews. After landing a job, a steady flow of income comes monthly. And the partying began. Became bored after a number of years, and went to work overseas to gain exposure in 1 of the cities in the Pearl of the Orient.

At 30s of age : age seemed to be catching up and began having the feeling of being maternal. So went out looking for a life partner, got married and build a family together and had children. And continued working for an international company.

At 40s of age : Work got caught up, got stressed daily, bosses were unhappy and so was I. Quitting was the only option. Spending time with the kids sounds great. Moved to a larger house that came with larger expenses. Soon, as the kids grew, boredom sets in. A hunt is on again seeking out a outlet avenue to consider working from home as the next option. Hated daily commuting in heavy traffic jams, travelling 3 days weekly to meet sales target, politics at the office was a thing of the past, at least for me. Searched around and attended previews to MLM, surfed the internet and joined Chat Rooms.

As an introvert, preference was given to an option that requires - less travelling time, no meetings with clients/customers, based at home, use of the computer and a broadband connection was all the basis for this option.

From October 2005, the decision to be an Internet Marketer was on! But how to start to become one and how to start an online business? Learn from a mentor, buy up courses and the learning journey began.

Throughout this journey, in a matter of only months, success was like 'a light at the end of the tunnel' and yet so far to reach. This was in May 2006.

A friend shared a quote from Thomas Edison... "It's not 999 failures that I've gone through to create the bulb successfully at the 1,000th attempt... It's in fact, a 1,000 steps process that I've gone through to create thebulb!"

See the difference? Don't give up at the sight of failure, but continue as these are just steps you need to complete to be success at the end!

Perhaps, God heard my prayers and I had a chance to a preview talk given by Alex Mandossian, a very successful internet marketing 'guru' who now lives in California, USA. I had read much about his work and strategies and are also aware that many other internet marketers from around the world attends his seminar on a yearly basis.

So, my learning process has just been spiced up again and ready to go, especially after learning Frontpage to create my 1st webpage of my own from scratch.
