Keep it real… huh?
Keep it real?
I’m going to “keep it real” for you.
Making Money Online is not easy.
It’s not overnight, it’s not even over a week or month!
Get ready to be given a shot of reality in this blog post.
There is no software program, no e-book, no home study course, no site that will make money online for you. You have to make it for yourself…
That’s one thing that I am getting sick of online is all this hype… or should I call it fype? (fake hype)
It’s Ridonkulous!
a “guru marketer” come’s out with a new ebook, home study course, software program or membership site and everyone is freaking out about it! are you serious? you think this is really the one! this will be the “one that works”
Let me let you in on a little secret…
Most Gurus and marketers are looking for people who learn slowly but don’t take action. Then they can keep selling you every product in that market under the sun and keep making more and more money!
Think about it.
Their “job” is to sell you the latest and greatest.
The course, the software, the e-book.
Beware of the “educational trap”
When you find yourself educating, thinking, educating, educating, educating, thinking about what you should do… then back to educating…. BEWARE!
the educational trap get’s you learning and keeps stuffing the gurus pockets while you are learning but not earning.
It’s a bad habit to get in.
Do I think that you should educate yourself? yes.
Should you spend thousands of dollars on education like me? no.
The reason I took so long to get to where I am was because I was in the “educational trap”
I didn’t take action.
I was learning but not earning because I didn’t even have a real websiet yet.
The process truly is simple, You can learn how to get traffic and ways to monetize that traffic for free.
You can get a web designer then start producing high quality content and connecting and networking with people in your marketplace.
then you can monetize with affiliate programs and adsense…. You can eventually even make your own products.
Stop spending money on education and start spending it on designing your website if that isn’t done yet.
If your website is already designed then spend that money on getting traffic, advertising and aquiring leads and attention in that marketplace.
It take’s time to test different sources but once you find the best sources you can keep milking the cow and making money from them and build the backend with more products and services.
Just stick to it and work on your website, traffic and conversion.
It is also important to network with people in your market so that You can have Jv partnerships and learn from eachother.
I believe in you so believe in yourself! YOU CAN DO IT!
I can, you can… we all can.
It’s like anything else in life, You have to learn how to do it and take action at making it happen.
So Keep it real? I guess?
Have an awesome rest of the day. Buy traffic and get real experience and not the story of experience from the educational course that you just bought ok?
Talk soon! on twitter! or facebook!

For some, like myself, college seems to become the educational trap you’re discussing here. TENS of thousands of dollars. Good call to action, and I like the realistic tone of your blog.

The educational trap is very real and seems like more often than not people fall into this trap. Part is because there are so many products out there and even more affiliates promoting much of the same material. The other is that it is so easy to search for information and folks think that the more they know, the better success they will have. Problem is that you can keep learning forever. The key is to take action once you learn one thing, and continue to take action. You can always set aside some time for further research.. that’s important because the internet changes, but you won’t get anywhere until you get started implementing what you learn.

This blog goes against everything internet marketers, success coaches and educational institutes are about! BUT you’ve hit the nail on the head! Learning and learning and learning, without taking action, is simply procrastination in a socially acceptable disguise!
The educational process includes taking action, because that is where you actually learn the most!
It’s easy to be a ‘theoretical’ genius, but it doesn’t get you rich or improve your life!
I’m a victim of this Educational Trap
