There are literally thousands of Get Rich Quick schemes and scams on the Internet, which makes it difficult to find a genuine business for making additional or unlimited income online as an Internet Marketer. But a little research can help weed out the scams which are filled with hype and emotion to deliberately target the unsuspecting.

Let's give an objective perspective towards Internet marketing for a moment. Let's consider whether or not Internet marketing really is all that the scams and rip-offs crack it up to be. Is it genuinely a way for making additional,Real success with Internet Marketing takes time - it is not a Get Rich Quick scheme Articles if not unlimited money through the Internet? The short answer to this is "Yes". Is it all that it is cracked up to be for the majority of people who give it a go? The short answer to this however, is "No". Why? Because it takes time to become successful through Internet Marketing. Let me explain:

Approximately 5% of those giving Internet marketing a genuine try, actually make it to real success, that's in the six figure range. This is similar to the old 90 - 10 rule. The majority of people, the ninety-percenters, are sufficiently comfortable in their own comfort zone and don't feel uncomfortable enough to sincerely want to change their zone. Ten percent see an opportunity and go for it, really go for it and give it their best shot, because they sense there's got to be something better out there than what their current comfort zone avails them.

But only five percent actually make it to the level of real success because peer pressure pulls back the other five to rejoin the ninety; now making it ninety-five percent. And the ninety-five percent pat each other on the back, reassuring themselves that the other five percent are surely poor misguided souls, right? Short answer to that, "Wrong!"

How did that elite 5% make it? They made it over time.

Internet Marketing is not a Get Rich Quick scheme, and even though you may wish it to your hearts desire for it to be just that, it isn't. To prove this to yourself, it may take you blowing some of your hard-earned cash by joining and trying some of the scams and rip-offs out there on the Internet. But if that's what it takes - well - let's just say with all due respect, I tried to warn you.

Personally, I got stung twice, but only twice, on two very disappointing Internet Marketing programs, before it was a case of "Third Time Lucky". Twice was enough for me and for my purse too. I count myself extremely fortunate, because I could have made even more blunders out there; the hype and the promises of overnight success I'll admit are very enticing. But as luck would have it, and indeed it was luck, I accidentally stumbled across an article written by an already successful Internet Marketer and to this day, I have not looked back.

When considering Internet marketing as a way to make additional or even unlimited income, please make sure you do your due diligence FIRST. That means, do your research. Look into whether or not there is a lot of negative publicity regarding the program you are considering trying. Research can be easily done through Google. When I saw the article by the successful Internet Marketer, I conducted my own research on him and what I found looked positive and promising. This gentleman appeared to be real; he was contactable, which meant that a phone call would validate whether or not he even existed, and his articles had a resounding and resonating authority to them.

I felt like this person knew his stuff and had the authority to hopefully guide me in the right direction. Today, it is with gratitude and sincere thanks that I can tell you he indeed guides me in the right direction. He is my mentor.

It's thanks to him and to Lady Luck herself that I even found him and the Internet Marketing business that's placed me firmly on the Net to Success.
