I’ve Been Cheated By A Writer
Just want to complain a little bit.
Recently, I have been looking for a writer from Get A Freelancer because I wanted someone else to write my blog posts and articles for a very cheap price.
I managed to get one and I paid USD$5 just to get his contact. I even paid him USD$15 via PayPal and he promised me to have my articles ready in 3 days. It has already been 2 weeks now and I still have not gotten my articles. Also, when I sent him emails, he sent me 2 emails giving me lame excuses. Now, I am not even getting emails from him.
He has successfully cheated my USD$15 but he lost his credibility forever.
I am sure I am not the first person who gets cheated by this so-called ‘writer’. There are also tonnes of cheaters out there and it is almost impossible for us to identify them.
In life, you will make a lot of mistakes and being cheated by others. When that happens, there are only two directions people choose to go:-
#1 – Give Up
When a person makes a mistake, it is easy for the person to have a victim mindset saying that he is not fit to do Internet business. I’ve tried that too.
In one occasion, I bought Ewen Chia’s Secret Affiliate Weapon for USD$9.97. I applied the strategy and it did not work for within the short period of time. I didn’t know what went wrong and I did not even bother to find out. After some time, I gave up because I did not see any result.
However, some people respond in a very different manner and this leads to my #2 direction.
#2 – Change Strategy
Later on, I tried many other different Internet marketing models hoping to find one that is suitable for me, at least I could really make money out of it. I even went to start new websites with other Internet marketers but the partnership did not work out.
One day, my friend introduced me to read Andrew Hansen’s Niche Marketing On Crack because he shows interests in partnership with me. So out of urgency, I read the ebook and tried to understand what niche marketing was all about. However, the partnership also did not last long because we were taking too long to put our niche sites up.
So I decided to start niche sites myself. I read Niche Marketing On Crack once again and applied everything written on the book myself. I spent a lot of time doing market research, writing articles, submitting articles and promoting my niche sites.
Deciding to start niche site myself is one thing, but the decision to stay focused on the same Internet marketing model is quite another. Once I’ve made the decision, I started to make money online and I started many more niche sites. Today, more than 45% of my niche sites I have started are making money.
Why am I telling you all this? Because it is important to stick to one Internet marketing model. To me, you will only see the fruits of your hand when you have put more than enough effort, time and energy on it. Most importantly, when you have found the right strategy to make it work, stick to it and it will only come after making lots of mistakes.
