I joined Turbo Traffic System by Dean Holland and Adam Spiel I believe back in May.  This course is the reason I have created this blog (finally, I have been wanting to create one, and part of the course was to build a blog).  I am excited about the course, and have decided that I will stick this one out from start to finish with out trying to short cut anything.  I have bought numerous systems and programs that claim to be the “magic bullet”.  To date, my online earnings are a little under $100.00.  That is after struggling for almost a year and a half.  The REALLY bad thing is the earnings are from an affiliate who I don’t remember joining!  I have had 3 checks show up in the mail so I guess I am fortunate that the affiliate marketer is an honest guy!

I am still going through the recorded lessons from the Starting With Marketing Academy which is a 6 week course and was recommended as a starting point.  So far even though I have been distracted by other “magic bullets” even though I KNOW that I need to just focus on ONE program/training course at a time.  I thought I had learned that, but some of the emails I get are just impossible not to check out!  That results in a waste of time reading the emails, and more wasted time if I check out what they are pitching.  I HAVE recently picked up some good free reports but fell for a few of the One Time Offers that just seemed too good to pass up.  That is just crazy, since all I do is store them and then go back to the Starting With Marketing Academy.  At least I am trying to stay focused!

I recommend you check out the Turbo Traffic System there is a VERY good free report that reveals some traffic secrets.  You can also listen to an Interview with Lee McIntyre free here.

Dean’s first stated goal was to make $1.00 online.  I have a slightly higher goal in mind, my immediate goal is to make my FIRST sale online.

I have discovered that the process of becoming a successful Internet Marketer is a journey, filled with days of LONG hours regardless of some of the hype the “magic bullet” programs say.  While it may be possible to only work 2 – 4 hours a day once you have several successful campaigns up and running on autopilot, it will take a LOT of work to get there.  As my business grows, then I can look at acquiring some tools to help automate some of the processes, but there will always be the research for new products and niches.  I am not looking for the “easy riches”, I just want to be able to earn a decent income while expending the effort required.

I welcome all feedback to this post, both positive and negative.
