With a sincere interest in becoming the best resourceful person towards others online possible, this is one of my passions, serving others. A few weeks ago, I decided to learn how to become a professional Internet Marketer. What attracted me to Internet marketing?
With WiFi connections and broadband wireless connections being available almost everywhere today, this makes Internet marketing attractive to me. I could be anywhere doing business online with my laptop and connection which can allow tremendous options and freedom to work. Let me also add, you make your own work schedule!
Nowadays, there are so many people that want to be or aspire to become a successful I.M. But I wanted to acquire a proper education and one that can be applied immediately not just theory. I googled about this subject and the idea of attending a college or certification program offered by a creditable source.
Like most of you, this was not as easy as just inserting “Internet marketing course” or something close. Thousands of hits were displayed and sifting through it was time consuming. Now there was one source that stood out from the rest, so I clicked it. It was from a reputable source, an actual univeristy.
I was actually impressed with the layout and even an opportunity via there website to view the course syllabus. Now this detailed syllabus in the hands of some, might be all they need to get started, saving them hours of time organizing there own self directed program. Why?
I was so excited about the program that I tried diligently to workout on the board how I would be able to afford it. I was willing to cut a lot of expenses out of the budget and do whatever I had to do in order to receive such a decent education. What happened?
The course was around $ 6k for starters. Truly I think the price is worth every dollar considering the heavy hitters teaching the courses and there willingness to help you to succeed. But six thousand dollars for a six month program? And the first payment was around seven hundred bucks.
Wait a minute, I know the quote, “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance” I understand the meaning of that truly. How was I going to pay for this education? If I saccraficed most of my income to make the payments which would be rather risky for me. Risky?
Risky because I need a certain amount always for the unexpected and there are always the unexpected and I have an almost eleven year old girl to take care of. Huuuum….. So, how can I get this education? I was very determined. A loan was out of the question at this point in the economy based upon my situation.
With that syllabus in my possession, the mind began to work towards answers! I thought about forming a co-operative learning group of likemind individuals and go for it! I went to my favorite place online to buy books or anthing just about with FREE shipping included, and ordered, “Meet & Grow Rich” by co-author Bill Hibbler which I met via twitter which is how I knew about the book period.
I exploded with energy and answers to my financial problem of not being able to really afford that program. I ordered based upon the course syllabus the most recent books regarding the subject. In addition, I discovered Bill Hibbler’s, Affiliate University which offers an increditable amount of information regarding Internet marketing and how to start from scratch buidlng an affilaite marketing business.
With all of that discovered, I have enough to get started, and start building additional income without working overtime via my present job where I trade my time for a wage.
I can now start little by little learning and applying immediately for results. Having other likeminded individuals via a mastermind group incorporating a number of other disciplines within such as co-operative learning strategies, thinktank, and others will make things happen!
Being an Entrepreneur anyway requires self discipline, a self starter attitude, and other traits. This is me, and this is how I will gain my start. Of course, there are so many details I am leaving out here because I could write on many more pages, but I do not want to bore you. However, if you want to know, give me some feedback here or follow me via twitter @PaulCarterJr
Perhaps you can be apart of my mastermind group or another! Thanks for reading, and let me know your thoughts regarding!

I also learn that people spend lots of money on education which does not teach them about money. When they leave school, they are still looking to make it. Now that I know to this,I hope to impart the knowledge of making money to my kids. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
