I know a lot of Internet marketers. Some of them have some really noble intentions. But I’m telling you from personal experience, you can’t save the world no matter how hard you try. Wonder what I mean? Keep reading this article and you’ll find out.

First of all, let me make this very clear. For me, Internet marketing is business. Sure, I like to help people and see them succeed. If nothing else, it’s great for my ego knowing that I’ve taken somebody and turned them into a successful marketer. But regardless of whether or not I accomplish that, my primary reason for existing is to take care of my family and provide for them. I think we’re all in agreement that ultimately, family comes first.

Too many marketers take this stuff too personally. They’ll put together some really great marketing product, somebody will buy it, and then that person will write to the marketer saying that they used it but they didn’t make any money because of it. Then, the marketer does one of two things. Either they get defensive and tell the customer that they must have not used it right or they blame themselves and question their ability to help others. Neither approach is productive.

For starters, there is an old saying that I’m sure I don’t have to repeat. It has something to do with horses and water. Truth is, some people either don’t take action on the products they get OR…and this is where most people have problems with admission…they don’t have the smarts to pull it off. For example, I can give somebody a fool proof step by step article marketing guide that has worked for me for years and that person could still fail miserably. Why? One very simple reason.

They can’t write.

I don’t care how good a piece of instruction is. If the person using it doesn’t have or can’t develop the skill needed to make it work, it won’t work. This is actually an argument I’ve had with many marketers over the years. Most people say that ANYBODY can be successful as a marketer if they want to. I say that’s not necessarily so. Some people just don’t have the ability. I see it time and time again.

Getting back to the main point of this article…saving the world…you can’t. Some people you’ll help and some people are beyond your help…or anybody’s for that matter. You can’t take each defeat personally and you can’t get all wrapped up in each victory thinking that you’re some gift to modern society. Some people are actually so smart that they’ll succeed regardless of what info you provided them with.

Ultimately, all you can do is your best. Make sure your work is of the best quality possible and be honest with customers. The rest is really out of your hands.

To YOUR Success,
