Jude’s Eclectic Resources

I hate graphs, hate hate hate, sounds kind of strong right? I got rid of G Analytics because they kept changing what I was use to and now Clicky is doing the same thing. I know everything changes, but why screw with something that isn’t broke? Yes, I know the Internet is constantly changing and if you don’t you will be left behind.

Bull Scata, and of course if you know me you know I worked around Greeks for many years in the restaurant business and scata = shit and since many words are derived from Latin and  Greek there you go. I get confused with different languages and their meanings and now the Internet is getting so inter-confusable that my mind is lost.

Oh, by the way for many of you Entrecard droppers, when they first changed the 600 count  per IP I’m sure many of you noticed you could keep going if you had rebooted your pc. Most people know that when they reboot the IP changes so ever since the first time the cut off happened to me and I rebooted, I always finish all my 300 droppings per blog if I choose to.

The Internet changes so quickly that I find myself getting lost half the time. Everyday new programs spring up and if you listen to all the marketers out there, you must have each and everyone to survive online. The urgency that they promote to us with is more for themselves instead of us because they know if they don’t make a killing within a weeks time that another new product will spring up tomorrow and they will be out of luck.

Internet marketing is a tough niche and I simply didn’t have the stamina or drive to stick with it. There are so many things you have to know and keep abreast of to stay ahead of the hordes that expect to make a killing. It doesn’t take long to find out that if you aren’t connected with the right people then your dead in the water. The best marketers have learned after years of trial and error how to cultivate the uninitiated and build trust.

Programs come and go with such frequency and I marvel at the minds that think them up and the long hours it takes to promote and build the buzz and hype. Of course they tell you that you can make a killing and live like they do. People are so desperate for the good life that usually the new marketer trying to make it online goes broke with all the mentoring and seminars and must have products to build his empire.

I’m sure it comes as no surprise to you that most are just wannabes and are just waiting for their ship to come in. Years ago you would hear, Fake it till you make it and back then it was easier because there were so many naive inexperienced Internet users. The new frontier was wide open, but now we are savvy, wary, and cautious and that’s a good thing. I have tried so many programs and products over the years and I am happy to say I didn’t go broke.
