How to Earn OFF the internet (*misleading title)
by Garnet Nagy Social Media Consulting
Like that was never the case. The other day a long time friend mentioned to me that I have been carrying the same fish around for 3 years already (my alter-ego on most other sites is a pic of me just before the release of one of the most beautiful Northern Pikes I`d ever caught).
Now, I am not about to give the whole story away right here and now but basically about 4 yrs ago I had found the unequivocal solution to all my financial difficulties, the fast & easy road to quick guaranteed riches, fame and unparalleled success.
I would become an internet marketer. I mean hey, at this point offline network marketing had not done it for me so why not take the plunge and dig myself in even deeper?
Besides, it would all be so easy! I would sell to people I did not know or had never met who would deposit their money directly into my paypal while I slept. (Stop me when this starts sounding too familiar!)
Well... that didn't, er, ahem, quite, (GRR!*#@!) work out for me.
Long story short, I had to pull my socks up, get down and outright dirty, re-evaluate, dump everything I had been doing wrong and start all over again. My life was an "incomplete do-over".
Needless to say, with basically starting a good chunk of my life over again, I made the ultimate sacrifice... and gave up fishing for 2 years(hence, no new photos!)
Aside from the time & energy wasted, the complete fool I repeatedly made of myself, and the enormous debt I incurred.. I managed to learn a few invaluable lessons.
Up until then, GREED had been my primary motivation. I had made the fatal mistake of not taking into account that which mattered most...
Today things are different.
Today I have more flexibility and freedom with my time than I have had the pleasure of experiencing since my youth.
Today I have the knowledge I have gained from the mistakes of yesterday.
Today(god thats getting repetitive and annoying!) I still have the vital connections I made yesterday, today I am rich for the friends I have made!
Today I have the honor and pleasure of helping those in need at their most desperate hours, today I get to make the difference in the life of a complete stranger.
Today I have a job that I love, and, an OFFLINE business that sells itself based solely(so far) on quality, customer satisfaction and word of mouth.
Today I do what I love.

  Just plain honestyGood to see you back on the water and out-witting those fish! Not surprised, though, that the Super Secret Google Loophole to Clickbank and PayPal Riches at the Click of a Mouse (and in Your Underwear) did not work for you. Jul 15th 2011 02:20 |

Social Media ConsultingLeave it to the oc to waltz in here and point out a vital oversight in my article. The gurus never lied about doing it from home in your underpants, they just neglected to mention your inevitable inability to purchase and pay for clothing! Jul 15th 2011 17:10 |
