Lightbulb The Story of a newbie that turned into a pro in less then 12 months

I am not new on the 5* Affiliate forum, but it has been a very long time since my last visit.
Lot of good things happend to me ever since.
And because the Valentine e-mail the Moderator send my, I decided to pass by and post a few words.
So here they come:
To every struggling marketer, this post is a true story
let me introduce myself first: my name is Carine Gonsaeles, I am a 47 years young, professional marketer, living in Belgium, my native language is Dutch, I have 1 partner and 2 cats and a comfortable new build house near the Belgian cost and near France.
Next to my marketing home biz, I exploit a Bed and breakfast, althought our home is not especially designed to do this, the reason for doing it anyway is to be able to have some social contact.
You see, the only downside of this business is:
we spend way to much time alone with our pc.


I can still remember my first time here and my first attempts to try to make it into the world of marketing.
(God was I a newbie at that time).

Maybe the moderator will still remember me, I turned to her with so many questions, ....that she propably turned green, as soon as she spotted me.

As many of you here, I was determined to earn money from home, and online and if possible rather sooner than later.

So I spend about 2 months - surfing the internet , crying for help, searching for THE program that could MAKE ME RICH, jumping from one forum to an other, etcetera etc.

And I did it up to 10 hours a day! Yes, I practically did not sleep or eat...
I was determent to make it, it almost became an obsession.

But after spending all that time, money and energy on falls promisses from gurus and useless programs, my motivation went down and I finally hit the bottom and I hit it HARD.


One day, filling in one last form ...thinking: if these promisses are incorrect, so what, i have nothing to lose...
I shut down my computer and even fargot about it.

But then, a couple of day later, I received a phone call, from a woman who asked me of I was interested in finding out How to become a successful entrepreneur, a wealthy business owner, no matter what my product or service was, even if i didn't have a product or a service yet.

She told me that she could show me how to add 15,20 even 30Reps/week into my marketing business.

I laughed when she said she could help me achieve financial freedom.

She said: ' the only thing you have to do is become a marketer first, get all the right marketing techniques and implement them into my biz.

And then it HIT ME.

What I have been doing was wrong.
This was not the way to do it.
How could I possibly think that growing a home based business in marketing and getting successful doing it COULD EVER BE DONE THIS WAY.

So I started using my brains and my comman sence and I let her send me a marketing report.

And BANG there it was.

If I would like to earn money from home, if I would like to succeed in mlm, network marketing or affilliate marketing,

IT ONLY CAME DOWN TO 1 THING
I needed to become a MARKETER FIRST.

And Yes, I did hit the Jackpot.
Now I am working from home, I did leave my job, my dreams came true.

And it CAN happen to You TOO

But you must become a marketer first.
Get the Education.
Get the top level marketing techniques.
Get the right tools and I can promise every newbie here :

ANYBODY CAN CREATE FINANCIAL FREEDOM IN THIS ONLINE MARKETING BUSINESS.

Did I have to work hard?
Sure.
Did I have to be teachable?
Obviously.
Did I need to put many hours into this?
Of Course.
Was it free?
O no, there is no such thing, nothing is for free.
But I gained much more then I spend.
In fact, I was in profit within 3 months.

And now 1 year later : I am working from home, on the computer with my cats next to me.

You Can Make A Lot Of Money
With An Awesome Marketing Plan And A Mediocre Product
BUT
You Will Never Even Come Close To Making As Much
With An Awesome Product And A Mediocre Marketing Plan.

REMEMBER IT's All About Marketing

If you are struggling, it is because
the marketing is missing in your affiliate marketing, or network marketing...

By the way, Linda, thank you for your patience and your support.

Carine

Carine, I remember your early days here. We had a lot of private message exchanges because of a number of problems you were having with our forums. It is good to see that you have made so much positive progress since then.

It is good to see you back here again. I hope you will be able to visit us in the future and possibly join in some of our conversations.

Talking Good to be BACK & Happy V.to ALL

Thank you moderators, if feels good to be back.
I promise to pass by from time to time,... althought summer is comming, Just Kidding

No, to be honest, I had a very very busy year. And a person must make choices, or business, or pleasure.
Linda thanks for the Valentine mail & invite, yes, that mail reminded me and brought me back.

Special thanks to Larwee, yes my friend, we shared a lot of mails and you had to solve quite a few problems ......

I did make it as a marketer, but did I improve as a forum visitor??
I don't think so....,
you see, even after 1 year - I still Can't Post in The Right Place
