Are all internet marketers liars ?

My guess is that KP is talking about making you a Lira millionaire

Well, I never thought about Lira. I was thinking more along the lines of Monopoly but hey.

Fancy a game?

Not all internet marketers millionaires, but there are a ton of people making millions off the web. I work on sites all day, and though I do ok (not a million), one of my first clients makes a few million annually of one of the sites I built them. What do I make off of it? I think I made around $1,000 building their site.

You built it, but was it you who did the SEo etc for it? it is a sad fact that without web marketing, the best site will be worthless. An anaology I make is this.

Imagine you have created the hottest product in the world, a products that EVERYONE will want to buy and it will make you rich. Imagine you get the best leaflet (flyer) adveryt designed that is going to blow the socks off everyone who reads it. Imagine you could have this advert on every telegraph and elecricity pole in the world, what sort of response are you going to get eh?

So it has been done, you wake up to an email saying the ads have been placed on every single telegraph pole in the world, and you expect to be rich. THEN the bomb drops, you look out of your window across the road, and you see that indeed your advert has been pinned to the pole, it is A4 encapsulated, but they have placed it right at the top of the pole, NO-ONE will ever see it, and you have no money left for marketing. Your dream is in tatters.......

Without people knowing about a product it is worthless.

This is why, most good web marketers / SEO's tend to stop working for others, and end up working for their own sites and making a heck of a lot more, as most of their sites will be on auto pilot.

Hi all,

There is some great feedback here. I really like Rhyswynne comments. But yes you are right if you are very good at some. I mean very good. Why do it for someone else when you can earn alot more money doing it yourself!

Because for some, money is not everything. work MUST be enjoyable, and personally I get great enjoyment and satisfaction from helping individuals to make their business a success. the thought that their families will benefit from the fruits of my labours.

I can't give any rep for the post above OWG because apparently you was the last person I repped.

I totally agree with that statement above. Money is not everything (it helps yes).

I have been doing SEO/SEM since I was 16/17 and for me to stay in this job for close to 12 years, that is saying something.

I love SEO/SEM because I find it a challenge and as I said in a previous thread, pitting my wits against great SEO'ers like OWG is the next best thing to being a Premiership Manager or Super League Manager.
