Liposuction for Internet Marketers

May 1, 2008 · Filed Under Business Basics, Motivation · 18 Comments 

Do you know why the weight loss market is so profitable? Because just like the “make money online” group wants to push a button and get rich, people want a “magic pill” to lose weight.

Let me ask you something…

If you wanted to lose 5 pounds of pure fat and you knew you could do it in 6 weeks, would you follow the diet and exercise plan to make it happen?

It’s a lot of hard work and you keep getting side-tracked by advertisement for weight loss pills, ab machines, or Britney Spears’ secret diet.

But if you just get started and stick with the plan, ignoring everything else, you would certainly attain your goal. But it’s not that easy. Is it?

On top of all the promises of an easy fix, you have work, family, and the housework to face every day. So then it becomes a matter of time.

So what’s the answer? Liposuction? That’s not a quick and painless fix. But to many, it’s easier than six weeks of diet and exercise.

But it is expensive and you would have to maintain it. Because if you went back to your sluggish lifestyle, you’d be right back where you were when you started.

Internet marketing is exactly the same…

If you’d just get started and stick with a plan, ignoring everything else, you would certainly attain your goal. But just like weight loss, it’s not easy.

You could buy a business or have somebody build one for you. But if you don’t have the basic marketing skills to maintain it, you’ll be right back where you were at the start.

So what’s the answer?

That’s an article I wrote in September of 2007 and if you are suffering from information overload and keep thinking “there has got to be an easier way,” wise up and read this article. You’ll be glad you did.

By the way, I got the idea for that title from my dog…
