Hello,
This my first post to this forum and really am frustrated at not being able to crack the code of this Internet marketing puzzle.
Is it just me or are all the promises of the sales pitches for getting traffic and sales on the Internet all hype/scam?
I have been puzzling through programs/ebooks/schemes/google searches,
ad nausea, only to find nothing works for me. 5 years and thousands of $$ down the drain with virtually no income to show makes me think that if there is a real answer, maybe I am just not cut out for it.
I probably get 50 emails a day with all sorts of "sure fire" sales and/or marketing programs. Every now and again the sales letter is so compelling that I fork over the money to try their system/program. The results always fall into 3 categories.
1.) So complicated and/or mind numbing that I don't understand or what I can implement screws up my computer.
2.) Turns out to be totally worthless....no traffic/sales.
3.) Actually gets traffic but less than .01% sales so that the cost of the advertising medium is ~10 times the income.
I am coming to the conclusion that maybe I am just not cut out for this stuff. I recently talked to a very rude person that I called to discuss a problem that I was having regarding their software.
After repeated efforts to get an understanding of what she was telling me, she blurted out, "You just don't get it! You better get into another line of business."
Is she right?
Thanks for any comments.
