The world has changed a lot over the past generation and jobs are
not as reliable as they once were. This is why I think now is a time
that offers huge opportunity. The internet has become a staple for
people buying products and services and this has opened up a whole new
industry called internet marketing. The great news is that it is an
industry that anyone can join from new moms to corporate CEOs who are
tired of the rat race.

Internet marketing is where you promote someone else's product or service and if you generate a sale or a lead you are paid a commission.
Anyone who is interested can begin internet marketing and the advantages are that there is no selling (you are just connecting a person with an offer), there is no inventory to store, no sales calls to make and no meetings to attend. The downside is that you must move through a learning curve. Because you are entering an industry that is in its infancy there is no formal education such as a college course so every successful internet marketer has moved through a learning curve and has had to learn to accept some failures during the growth process. I actually see this as an advantage because if you are highly motivated to make internet marketing work you will while many of your competitors will drop out.
I do however recommend that you find a mentor. Because there are so many people in internet marketing and so many avenues for making money online it is easy to stray from your path and try to do too much at one time only to find you are the master of nothing.
There are some great teachers starting to emerge from the crowd. I personally like Jeremy Schoemaker. He is the "poster boy" for Google, was asked to be a consultant for Dell and AT&T and was interviewed by ABC News 20/20, Good Morning America and the Wall Street Journal. In other words he is reputable which is important but I also like him because he caters to the newbie so he doesn't leave questions unanswered like many teachers who assume you know what they are talking about.
