Let's face it, the vast majority of people have no idea what an internet entrepreneur is. It's just a mystery to most people because it is so far out of the main stream. Many are fairly comfortable in their 9 to 5 jobs and see no particular reason to consider a serious alternative.
It makes you wonder if there is some comfort in knowing that you're being taken care of by the boss. Are people afraid of being out on their own? Do they get pleasure out of that daily commute to the office? Would they be at loose ends if they were working from home?
It's fairly obvious that most 9 to 5 jobs are boring and don't pay very well, but most people who hold those jobs can't think of a practical alternative. After all, this is the way we have been taught to think about work from the time we are very small. Go to school and get a job.
The normal route for breaking out of one job into a more fulfilling, better paying position is to take a lot of courses at a university or vocational college. Most courses like this require months of dedication and hard work, take you away from the activities you enjoy most, and cut into your valuable family time. And they usually cost a fair bit of money. Most people simply do not have the time or energy to devote to learning a new career.
And many of those who do successfully complete a course of training are not much better off when they are finished. They find their new job is just more of the same - more "working for the man" - but now with an increased workload, greater expectations from the boss, more responsibility, and only marginally better pay.
Internet marketing - becoming an "internet entrepreneur" - is a completely different alternative. There is no diploma required to qualify. There is no 9 to 5 grind. You don't have to drive into the office every day. There is no boss. And while there is no "security" to your income, there is also no artificial limit to the amount you can make.
For a lot of people this is a pretty attractive proposition. It opens up fantastic opportunities for people who are unhappy with their current jobs, who wish they could make more money, or would simply like to break out of the straight jacket of regular employment.
But there are a few little problems. For a lot of people, the fact that internet marketing is so "open-ended" is a big problem. They just don't know where to begin. When you start investigating internet marketing the first thing you will discover is that there is no simple description of what it is. You can't pull an official, "authorized" manual off the shelf that describes what an online entrepreneur does or how to become one
The second problem is that the internet is bursting with dishonest people who pretend to be successful entrepreneurs and are happy to tell you the secrets of their success All it takes is a small one-time payment of $79 and they'll send you an ebook that will start you on your way to wealth and fame. Unfortunately most of these would-be gurus have never made more than a few hundred dollars online. But the problem is it is difficult to know who are the good guys and who are the bald faced liars.
However there is one way that most successful internet entrepreneurs agree is a good place to start. This is what you might call the "formula for success", and it is really quite simple: Most agree you should find a good mentor - someone who has been reasonably (or wildly) successful, who can serve as an example, and who can teach you the fundamentals.
Finding the right person to be your mentor can be tricky. There are obviously many successful online marketers out there, but the whole field is full of so much hype and exaggeration that it is difficult to tell who to believe and who to not believe. Perhaps the best advice is to look for someone who sounds authentic, and then find some of his or her followers. Read their reviews. Get their opinions. Pick their brains.
One of the most successful examples of this in recent years is Jay Kubassek. Jay has a story that many of us can identify with. As a young man in his early twenties he had limited prospects. In his own words he says, "I spent the first 25 years of my life barely making ends meet without knowing how I was going to come up with my next rent check or make ends meet." Sound familiar?
It took him three years of trying different ideas and programs. Most were just blind alleys and false starts but finally he hit on a formula that worked. This formula finally allowed him to make serious money in internet marketing. By the time his first year as an internet marketer was finished he had made close to half a million dollars in commissions.
Now this is where it gets interesting, because he soon decided that he could do much better if he shared his "secrets" with others. He decided to package his approach to internet marketing to help others become as successful as he had. The principle behind his program was simple: he would show others how to make a carbon copy of his own success and he could then share in the amazing success that many of his students were having.
Eventually this program developed into what was called CarbonCopyPRO, a training and mentoring approach that gives new online entrepreneurs a duplicate of the techniques that Jay Kubassek uses to make as much as $100,000 a month.
If you are interested in leaving that old job behind and becoming a successful internet marketer this is probably the best place to start. Before you buy into another one of those $2000 training courses, waste your time with an online pyramid scheme, or even before you buy another $49 ebook, have a look at CarbonCopyPRO. You have nothing to lose, and a whole new future to gain.
CarbonCopyPro is a online marketing system that gives new or experienced marketers a complete turnkey approach to making money online. It teaches new online marketers the basics as well as providing techniques and methods developed by a large team of successful online marketers. CarbonCopyPro was created by
Jay Kubassek.
