You have read the stories of tremendous successes and insane income people have earned in a few short days on the internet. The reality is a few people do generate very good incomes on the internet marketing products.
The truth is most people fail in this business. The steps to failure are easy. That is the bad news. The good news is that in knowing how to fail will give you direction and guidance in knowing then, what you must do to succeed.
Failure in 7 easy steps:
1. No experience. Internet marketing is a profession and just as any other profession, it is learned through experience and education. Think about your medical Doctor, the election who wired your home, the professor at the local university, all of these are professionals who have been educated in their vocation. Successful marketing on the internet is learned through observation, classes or by a mentor who has a proven system.
2. No testing or research. Is there a screaming demand for your product or service? Successful marketers are continually testing through multiple articles and ads to see if there is a hungry crowd looking for your product. Will your product or service market best through direct advertising or through articles in ezines or by videos on youtube? Have you tested various methods to find the starving crowd?
3. Lack of funds to start a home-based business. Do you have the funds and resources available to see you through to success? A sure fire way to failure is to cut off your primary source of income and leave your job without adequate reserve of funds available to you.
4. No System. Marketing on the internet requires following and using a proven marketing system. Successful marketers use a formula, a system that is tried and proven to achieve success. Without a proven system, failure is certain.
5. No Leadership or personal coach. Just as Michael Phelps had a coach that guided him to win 8 gold medals, Success in marketing requires a personal mentor who is committed to your success. This is very important, not just for you, but as you help those who will follow in your footsteps. You must have a coach/mentor who has walked the path before you. Those following you will ask, ‘how do I succeed?”
6. No detailed plan of action leads to failure. You must be held accountable to your coach and follow a specific daily plan of action. Imagine this. You have the funds and now want to have someone build you dream home. You hire a builder. You have the dream home pictured in your mind. However, without detailed drawings, plans, the builder cannot produce what is in your mind. Your business will succeed when you follow a daily action plan.
7. Not learning the skills along the way. Attending seminars and workshops of successful people and learning the skills of marketing is critical to your success. Can you write an article that will be published and read? Can you produce a video that thousands will watch on youtube? Can you write a creative ad that will draw a swarm of people to your website to purchase your product or service?
Failure is not an option. You will not fail when you find a Mentor who seriously has your best interest at heart. A mentor who will provide coaching and resources without selling you items which will benefit him/her financially. A good mentor will teach you the skills you need for success in an online business.

Restoring An Antique is like building a home-based business.
Building a home based business is like restoring an antique car that has
not been driven for 65 years.
Wayne found a 1926 Star Coupe in a garage. Because this car had not
been driven for 65 years, it had deteriorated immensely. It took
20 years searching for replacement original parts, replacing rotten
out wood frame work with new hard wood, carved and shaped for the
roof structure.
Many hours of work has paid off, the 1926 car runs like it did 82
years ago when it was new! I know it takes time to build a
home-based business. However, I also know it will not take 20 years
to make a very good profit when you have the right tools. When you
have the right system to follow.
The production of the Star automobile only lasted two years. Like
many other car manufacturers of that era, it ceased to be. Why did
this car manufacturer fail when Ford prospered? Ford used and
followed a system. Like Ford your home business will only prosper
when you follow a proven system.
Zoomica is a system to a life of prosperity and abundance.
Now you too can enjoy life as much as Wayne and Sheila enjoy their

A Distraction Is A Distraction
Did you read that? A Distraction is a Distraction!
I don't know about you - but my story could be this.
I get up early, 5 am before most of the world gets
turned on. Before God turns the lights on, outside!
I have plans, I have a project scheduled to do
before the world wakens.
Coffee is perking, I turn my computer on, my
project to work on is on my desk also giving a yawn
and waking up to the smell of coffee.
Distraction.
My computer tells me there is an important
email from a colleague. Read it now. I do.
He has given me a link to another website
I really need to review - now. I do.
Distraction.
It is now 9 am, time for another cup of coffee.
And to make my wife her breakfast cup of tea.
She loves her cup of tea while doing the bathroom
getting ready for the day stuff a wife does.
Distraction.
It is now 9:45 am - must finish up the project
that my colleague directed me to before he
calls me about 11 am to review.
My personal to do project is patiently
sitting on my desk taking another stretch
and smiling knowing that sooner or much
later I will get to "her".
Distraction.
An hour with my colleague on his project
well, that was not the plan for today.
However, it was important.
Distraction.
Noon and I always eat lunch right at 12 noon.
Never a minute late either.
This day is going by quickly and really so far
all I have accomplished were the Distractions.
A Distraction is always a distraction.
My success following a system and
being focused on "this one thing I do".
The moral of the story - stay focused.
Walter
This one thing I do.

Commitment To Success.
Think of someone you know who is "a person of good character." Lock his or her image in your mind. Now take a moment to reflect on the things this person says and does............the personal characteristics that make him or her a role modelfor you. What comes to mind? What do you see?
Chances are that high on the list of your role model qualities is..... COMMITMENT ......- the unwavering dedication to being a good family member and friend...to doing his or her best at work and away from the job...to doing what's right, noble, and decent.
Committed people like your role model, just seem to have their heads and hearts in the right place. They keep their priorities straight. They stay focused on what's important. They know, inherently, that what they believe must drive how they behave - and how they behave ultimately determines the character they possess, the reputation they enjoy, and the legacy they leave.
Abraham Lincoln had this to say about commitment:
COMMITMENT is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words.
It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.
The world renowned pianist, Van Cliburn, after one of his magnificent concerts was approached by an admirer who had been in the audience. The emotional fan grasped Cliburn's hand and said,
"I would give my life to be able to play the piano like that."
The pianist smiled and replied..."I DID."
Please Remember,

GPS Guide to Life of Abundance
I Have A Confession To Make...
My daughter is what they call "directionally challenged."
That's a nice way of saying she has NO CLUE of
how to get to where she want to go...when it
comes to geography or driving places.
Now don't get me wrong, she can find the important
stuff... like the mall and her favorite ice cream
shop... but when it comes to breaking out of her
normal mode and finding new places, she’s a disaster.
And it gets even worse...
She can't read a map! Really. she looks at it, studies it
and still has no idea how to get from where she is
to where she wants to go. Her friends and family laugh
at her all the time.
When she and her mother go shopping (to a new place)
it's always an adventure. They spend waaay more time
in the car, driving up and down and all around, then
they actually do in the shops.
An average "shopping day" for them goes from around
noon until midnight. ;)
Frequently my daughter calls Dad, “Dad, will you pull
up map quest on the computer and tell me where I am?
Now do I go right or left, quick I am at traffic light,
but I don’t know where!”
Then she found "George" and everything changed...
She got a GPS system and unlike a map—where
you have to figure out your own route and then
follow it without any help or knowing if
you're on course or not--the GPS system guides you
every step of the way. At every turn George
tells her exactly what to do... and if she messes up,
he quickly finds her a new route to follow and then
delivers her safely (and quickly) at her desired destination.
You know, the fact that she has a horrible sense
of "geographic" direction can be annoying to her
from time-to-time and very funny to her friends--
but it doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things.
Because she has a solid compass and sense of
direction when it comes to what counts... knowing
where she is "going" in life and creating the life
she wants to live.
Others are not so fortunate.
Now my daughter uses “George” to take her
most places. I have been thinking about how easy
“George” has made her life… just by giving her
a simple path to follow. And more than that,
I thought about how great it would be if everyone
could have a "George" for the important stuff...
like the path to financial freedom, absolute abundance
and bliss.
I thought about all the people who struggle to
build a business or create an income--especially
online. They jump here and there, from this
opportunity to that one... just like driving in
circles until they run out of gas or give up
and go home.
But what if it didn't have to be that way?
What if you could plug-in a GPS and get
step-by-step, turn-by-turn instructions right
to your destination (your pile of profit)?
And you could sit back, relax and enjoy the
ride--knowing George would show you the way.
Well, last time I looked Best Buy didn't sell
a "path to profit" GPS system but that doesn't
mean you can't have one. Because right now
I'm opening the doors to as system where I can
be your “George” and show you the fastest,
easiest, most sure path to profit.
I'm going to take you on a MAJOR SHORT-CUT
to the success you crave.
This system will give you the tools and resources
and be your GPS “George” to a life of abundance.
It gets easy when you have someone there
guiding you every step of the way.
So lock-in to your “George” now:
To Your Success,
Walter Seward
P.S. Later today I'll be using George to
take me out to one of my favorite places...
a beautiful mountain lake.
In the meantime, be thinking about your
"destination"... where you want to go
in your life.

How to Write Articles that Promote You as an Authority
