Ladies and Gentlemen, Mark Joyner has left the building!



That’s right. After many pronouncements, and many

many emails from affiliates selling his “going away”

package, one of the most successful and influential

Internet Marketing gurus has officially retired.

Or has he?



The retirement of Mark Joyner from the world

of Internet Marketing, where he made millions

in a few short years, has been the subject of

much debate online. There are those who take

Mark at his word and believe he’s gone for good.

And, there are many who believe this is just the

end of the first act. They think Mark will be back

online with something new and maybe even revolutionary

to promote. Still, others think the whole thing is a

big scam to drain every last dollar out of those

eager and gullible enough to part with it.



What is the truth?



Who knows?



Why should you or I even care? Mark came to the

Internet. He saw. He conquered. Good for him.

Now what does that have to do with your success

online? Not much. Many people follow these

Internet gurus hoping to find the key to their

own online success. True, some have actually made

good money by regurgitating the teachings of people

like Mark. They rode his bandwagon to their own

success. But ever ask yourself why someone like

Mark is getting out of the Marketing to Marketer’s

biz?



Maybe because it’s getting harder and harder for

even gurus to make a decent profit from the over

crowded field of marketing players. Seems like

every newbie and their mother wants to start up

a web site to promote Internet marketing

information. Are you one of them?



Millions of people saw gurus like Mark making

big bucks and thought they could imitate them

and do the same. Well, you can’t. Know why?

Because, you’re not Mark Joyner. Or you’re not

(fill in the name of your favorite marketing

guru here). No matter what they tell you or what

you might believe, you can’t duplicate their success.

Sorry to burst your bubble.



The field is so crowded with marketing guru

wannabes that hardly anybody is making money.

The few who are, make themselves part of the

guru circle of special friends. That’s why you

see the same people promoting each other and giving testimonials every time you read a sales letter

for the latest marketing ebook or seminar. If you

can become a part of the inner circle, you have a

chance. But do you have the cash and resources it

takes to do this? How many people can realistically

be a part of that lucrative inner circle?



It’s time for a reality check, people. Many of us

have lost money trying to run with the big dogs.

I say it’s time for a change.



It’s okay to read the material of the big dogs to

learn the basics of Internet marketing, but then,

it’s time to go out on your own. Use that knowledge

to come up with your own UNIQUE idea to promote online. Internet marketing is a means to an end for most of

us, not the way to wealth.



If you don’t believe me, ask all those other folks

who have tried and given up. If you’re getting

discouraged, don’t throw in the towel just yet.

Try being yourself. That’s right. Let your hair

down. Time to put your dog to bed. Remake that loser marketing site into something you really enjoy pursuing.

Maybe you won’t make millions like Mark, but I

guarantee you’ll have a lot more fun online.
