Do you know that most of the websites ever built do not make enough money to cover the month cost of their web hosting? Think about that. That is a staggering number when you consider that now there are several billion websites online and millions more being added every day. I always figured there must be some magic internet marketing secret that only a few really knew and the rest never hung around long enough to find out.

Then one day after months of struggling to learn how to build web pages that didn't look like a 2 year old had designed it hit me. The secret to internet marketing is not quitting. If someone like me who could barely send email when I started could do it then anyone could. Sadly most still will not. They do not posses the stick to it attitude it takes to learn the skills to master internet marketing as a profitable business.

This determination can only come from having a goal that is worthwhile to you. Internet marketing is not that hard. Email marketing is not that hard. Website design is not that hard, if you know how to do it. It really does not take a special talent. Becoming a concert pianist is out of the reach of most of us. It takes more than practice and determination. It takes talent. Golfing like Tiger Woods must be hard. Other than Jack Nicklaus no one else has ever been as good as Tiger, yet millions of people play golf everyday.

If you can read, you have access to all of the internet marketing training at the click of a button. Internet marketing forums are full of free training. Many of the so called Guru's offer free tips by email. Go to any article directory and you can find out everything you need to know about making money on the internet.

What those articles and those Gurus can not teach you is why you want to stick with it long enough to learn how to do it. Only you can figure that out for yourself. But that is the only real internet marketing secret you really need. If average people from all over the world can make above average income online so can you. The only difference between you and them is they have learned how to do internet marketing. They did not quit when they were spending hundreds of hours for little or no pay.

Write this internet marketing secret down on a piece of paper and read it everyday. "If it is to be, it is up to me!"
