what lessons did you learn during IM career?

[pocketttt]

I think the most important lesson I've learned is never giving up. having the will to work and receive over the internet is very important. I myself do not have many qualities nor skills, everything I know I learned with a lot of effort and dedication and managed to achieve many goals in this way

Eight years ago I was in a very difficult situation where I lived I could not get a job, I did not even have food, I had to borrow money to be able to eat.
All I had was just an old computer and internet access. I spent days and nights researching how to get work on the internet, after 8 months I finally found a way through pay per install, I made my first 3k in a month. For many it may be little, but for me who am poor it seemed infinite money

After that things got easier for me, I did several jobs and after a lot of effort I managed to buy a house and car

Unfortunately things are not very good for me today, the PPI company that I worked (installmonetizer) closed and I could not find any similar ones


Another thing I learned is that there is no easy way to make money online, I have read many methods that say easy money but none works

and you? What lessons did you learn?

sorry my english, is not my main

1. Never give up. And more importantly don’t be disheartened when something doesn’t work. It’s not only success or profit that is your measure of success but every time you try and fail it should be considered a small success because each failure is pushing you nearer to the method that will work.

2. Whenever you plan out a project go back over each part and double the quality and the effort that you put in. Remember there are always a thousand other people competing with you so it’s that extra time and energy you put in that you at first didn’t think was necessry that will make your project succeed where others fail.

Money likes speed . If either you or a partnership can not progress fast enough in a niche / project , move to another niche project . Nothing ever good (normally) happens over a long period of time . The longer it takes , the more friction it will accumulate (losing motivation , doubts , markets changing , etc. ) . Most projects can be put on their feet within a week to find out if they work long term or not .

About the poster before me and "Trust" . It is risk management basically , same with long term trading

My lesson is that BHW’s mods are very impatient.

I've got one for you OP: cheap prices attract cheap clients, and they can end up costing you.

 

[Sherb]

Going against the grain here.

Don't be afraid to give up.

If you spend enough time trying to make an unprofitable project profitable, you will eat into time that could easily be spent on well planned out projects with stronger potential. Learned this many times the hard way.

Mistakes are good. Catastrophic failures are even better. The more lessons that can be learned from a failed project the better. Take those tidbits of information, put and mix it with some solid ideas and advice from professionals in your target niche.

Then pick yourself back up and start again.

Don't troll IM boards for 9 hours a day and instead actually do something.

^^ - legit issue, you end up taking in so much info, you never actually implement anything because of fear and uncertainty. Bombarding yourself with info like tai lopez says to do is actually not good IMO.

Take Action!!!!! And Continue Working!!!!

The beauty of IM is you can work hard for a month and receive the fruits of that labor with your eye's closed. but don't expect that money to appear forever, because it won't!

Always think about that next idea and began working on it so you have multiple streams of income.

You'll probably fail. Don't let it discourage you. Figure it out and keep going.

 

[Zerderh]

Damn 3k for PPI is pretty good but it sucks that you cant keep going at it... Nothing lasts forever, having all the eggs in 1 basket is not the best, of course its easier said than done, because figuring out a new method of making money after you already had 1 moneymaker is not easy duty.

Hope you can get back on your feet and move forward

I agree with the rasta guy.

To much info without taking action generates frustration which lead to a bad image of yourself.

START DO SOMETHING, STOP JERKING AND WATCHING PORN!
ten toes down
thanks

Never put all your eggs in one basket .This is the most important thing i learned . Always have multiple source of income .nobody knows when fiverr or google may shut you down .

Buy high sell low, rinse, repeat, pretend you are a big time billionaire and don't give a fuck what others think. Then cry one's self to sleep and hope mummy comes in to give you a cuddle. True story, the life of 96% of IM'ers these days.

Something I wish I knew when I first started making really good money, is to invest a large portion of your earnings back into your business.

When you are stacking fat wedges of cash, you need to remember it isn't permanent.

My affiliate sites could drop tomorrow. Client could go bust.. etc.

1) Once you start making money, save it and reinvest back into your business. Don't go out and buy a Range Rover, and start hanging out in the VIP lounge at the club. One thing I've learned in my 10 years of being a full time marketer is, it can come in fast and go away even faster. Save, save, save. It's imperative, because the lean times will come.

2) Take action - it's super easy to get information overload. Pick one thing and be the best at it. Once it's on autopilot, move on to the next venture.
