Christ, You Know It Ain’t Easy by Don Sabelhaus

The inspiration for the article title came from the 1969 John Lennon song "The Ballad of John and Yoko".

The inspiration for the article came from Bruce Ashman’s blog article  www.ibosocial.com/theashmans/blog.aspx?blogid=103729

Record numbers of men and women are coming online daily to join the internet marketing (IM) revolution taking place. They come seeking fame and fortune, some come just looking for a few extra bucks to help make ends meet, still others come looking to escape mind-numbing jobs that offer little more than a slow death of the spirit.

Whatever their reason for joining the revolution they come with expectations and fall prey to the dream salesman. We’ve all seen them, the hyped ads promising great sums of money for little or no effort and it can all be had almost overnight.

After chasing the shinny trinkets for awhile they come to realize maybe it is not going to be as easy as they thought, that is when they come to realize Christ, you know it ain’t easy.

If they don’t quit they will eventually come to understand that it takes a great deal of passion, perseverance, and patience to survive in this industry. They will then be qualified to explain to others wanting to join the revolution Christ, you know it ain’t easy.

"...mind-numbing jobs that offer little more than a slow death of the spirit." Sad, but true =( All internet marketers should take on the responsibility of making it very clear that what we do isn't a cake walk. Sure, over-time it becomes easier and can turn into a cake walk thanks to leverage; but don't let a newbie walk in thinking it'll be that easy for them in the beginning.

So true. Thank you Don.
 
Melvin Clifton    331 day(s) ago
Absolutely correct Don; and though it might have been said many times before, you have said it best; "Christ, it ain't easy". Anyone telling you otherwise is likely to be one of those smooth talking gurus (~/\~)
 
Bill Bateman    331 day(s) ago
The comfort in that is the reality that rewards and difficulty are inversely related. If it's extremely easy...there's probably little profit in it - IMO. Thanks for sharing as always.
 
Jesse Smith   331 day(s) ago
Love your Blog Don. Your words are oh so true. You are a great leader. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
 
Bruce Ashman   331 day(s) ago
Hi Don - excellent blog with great words of wisdom. Thanks also for the reference to my blog - that is appreciated. You are a true "leader/teacher" - telling it like it is and setting realistic expectations for those in our industry. TB&L as well my friend.

Annemarie Berukoff   331 day(s) ago
Very interesting article about the reality of internet marketing. But, at the same time, viral marketing should make it easy...back to the drawing board. I call it People Power.
 
Wim van der Donk   331 day(s) ago
After reading your excellent post I thought that maybe that's exactly the reason why people should join IBO. I think we all can help by spreading the message: "Christ, you must know it ain't Easy, but at IBO we can help you!" Tweeted your blog as a warning for other newbies...
