Thanks for the advice
I totally understand where you're coming from because once you start to understand how the business works, you start to look at the internet differently and can instantly see whether a site you log into is making money or a failure.
This only serves as an advantage to us because it will help us see how the strategies are implemented and will thus help us improve.
Once you're aware of the process and know what you're working towards, it becomes a hell of a lot easier... You'll make mistakes but you'll know why you made the mistake and will be able to correct it the next time
With regards to the networking aspect, it's very very true. I'm starting to experience this for myself after my brother in law found out what i was doing. He is very good at networking and has a huge client list from the TV and film industries, as well as a few famous entrepreneurs who have been involved in television work...
I may be teed up to work with a few of these guys very soon. Fingers crossed, i'll be experiencing similar success
... It definitely is the way to go, if you have yet to find a niche of your own to build...
Lastly, i've also figured out another thing. Building your status and authority is so important. Once people know who you are on the web, it would be so easy to tackle more difficult markets. Think about it, why do you think so many Pro Internet Marketers are so successful? because they all have one thing in common...
Everyone on the internet knows about them, so when they promote a new market or sell a new product, their list will divert over to their new Market and buy instantly thus saving the need to build an entirely new list or gain new traffic from scratch...
This is very similar to the idea of back linking to a top ranking site back to your page or using a currently successful website to promote and divert traffic to the new niche. instead, your name and authority is being used to promote your market. Almost like a brand
Now you've got yourself rolling, do not be afraid to expose yourself on the web and to use your name as a brand, as its the best way to make people trust who you are and to establish a close relationship with you.
