Internet Marketing Professionals: Dec 5, 2007

Man, I could visualize myself doing the same thing. I thought to myself "If only I could do that"! Later that year I decided to become a softball player.

Unfortunately it was alot harder than it looked. I joined a team that was near the bottom of the rankings, no one else wanted me. Why? Because I was a downright bad player. And I mean badly as in no good.

In fact I stunk! The only thing I had going for me was this fierce burning desire to succeed as a good softball player. The fire was inside me and I wanted to be "GOOD!" Now what does this have to do with Internet Marketing?

Just give me some time here and you will see where this is going. At 22 years of age I could not run, throw or hit. Nor did I have any special athletic abilities, at 5'7" and about 130lbs. I was not much of a softball player.

The team I joined used me very sparingly and rightly so. My butt was on the bench so often I was seriously considering buying pillows for my rear end.

The following year before the new softball season started. I purchased a book called "How to play slo-pitch-softball". This book was instrumental in my education and desire to become a good softball player. It had techniques on holding the bat, fielding, throwing, and running the bases. I read it thoroughly and followed its advice. That season I became a better player. I Spent much less time on the bench.

The next year I decided to become even better. I purchased a book called "Hitting a softball for distance and power" It thought me what exercises I needed for upper body strength, what type of bat to use for quicker more powerful swings. Clearly the following year I no longer sat the bench. I also purchased a book called "Leg exercises for speed". It took a few years but I became faster, quicker and stronger.

I was now in my late twenties and at 160lbs. a very good slo-pitch softball player. I had numerous teams asking me to play for them. Wow what a turnaround! It took me about 6-8 years to become a successful softball player. Now again you say what the heck does this have to do with Internet Affiliate Marketing?

Actually plenty. I am now in my mid fifties. At first I stunk at Internet Marketing just like I did at softball but I slowly began to get better. I read till my eyes burned and I still do. My website guzmansgreenhouse.com is now listed at the top for numerous keywords at google, yahoo and other top Search engines. Am I getting rich overnight? Absolutely not. I am making an extra income.

Be sure to visit Successful Website for tips on how I did it.

Just like soft ball I had this Burning desire to succeed. I had to read and follow the techniques in books, ebooks, and numerous pdf downloads on what I needed to become a successful "Internet Marketer". I studied learned and became familiar with HTML, CSS, PHP, and many other programs. I also joined forums, blogs, and article writing websites that would help me in my quest to become successful.

Just like softball I had to stay away from bad neighborhoods. If you've done any kind of marketing at all you know the horror of getting bad or wrong information.

There were actually three ebooks that really turned things around for me. If you want to know which ones you can email me and I will tell you.

In conclusion I did what needed to be done to become successful just like I did in softball. Maybe you too are wondering how it should be done. Here is my advice to you. Develop a website about what you know and write good original content for it. Do not give up and continue with your "Burning Desire" to succeed. It will happen and you will become "GOOD"!
