Time Flies

Where did November go? I spent most of the month in learning mode, exploring a variety of opportunities available to internet marketers. The assortment is endless and there is quite a bit that is simply a rehashing of someone else's product. But now I think it is clear to me who I find viable and who is not my cup of java. Until I actually go through one or more of the processes I won't report on that quality of anyone's offerings. It wouldn't be fair to report from the outside.

So far, I have one site that is actually working and producing some results. In my repertoire are also several informational sites, a couple of blogs, and one site that is driving me crazy because it gets tons of traffic and no results. When I step back and look at my results after 3 months, I guess that is not terrible. But I always want it to be better.

The main issue I have found in this new business is isolation. It is extremely difficult to reach an actual person in this field. This makes me crazy. I find someone whose work I like, attempt to contact them and NOTHING. I've never seen a business that was this personally elusive. To me that means that something is not quite right. I challenge internet marketers to get visible! I dare you to be available to answer a question. If time is the issue, charge by the minute- I don't care- but I will never spend thousands of dollars on anyone's product that can't answer a question for me, or who has so many emails that you never know which one will get to the person.
