Why 98% of  "marketers" never make a significant income and how this can lead to a bigger vision?

Why 98% of "marketers" never make a significant income and how this can lead to a bigger vision?

It was the summer of 2009 when I started to dig seriously into the (some people say shaddy) world of internet marketing and "make money online" by studying a system created back then by Glen Hopkins.

After that I studied more courses, bought this and that and I believe in took me almost one year to see my first dollars as an affiliate. They were like $50 from a product (or more products) created by Justin Michie if I remember correctly.

More and more struggle follows by getting little pieces of information from many trainings, courses, articles, podcasts and e-mail to actually build an information marketing business using the internet as a medium of communication.

I even can't count how many seatbacks, moments of frustrations, little wins and major defeats followed, and their intensity I believe are very hard to cope with by what we called a "normal" human being. By normal human being I call somebody who is very comfortable in a job which maybe is rewarding until a certain level but far from one which can have outcomes tied to big dreams.

I could write a book about the hustles from that period just that it will bring depression to many of you so I simply pass the idea. 

And this is for real the reason why 98% of the "marketers" never make it. It is too hard, there are too many failures on the way, the frustration can go through the roof and very few people are trained to cope with this. 

Using the internet to create value for the world and wealth was and it is a continuous object of study for myself and on the way to develop myself and get the business off the groun I discovered how broken is the actual education system in teaching real world skills like promoting products and services using the internet.

The result was that the little information marketing start-up has transformed itself into a bigger vision to actually add value to the world by filling the gap between the formal education and the one helping you to become the best version of yourself and grow an internet based business in the same time.

This really is a big gap and Mushbloom Publishing is not the first company joining this global trend but we have few ideas to do things better than others.

Today the technology is more accessible than ever. Basically you can buy online for few hundreds of dollars the code to create the next Facebook or Linkedin just that after that you need servers, people, a lot of marketing and funding to make it happen. But also I was suprised and inspired to see teams of 2-5 people launching online businesses from basement and achieve massive success like the big guys.

For me, this larger vision is a turning point in how I see the education for adults and the way to create products and services to fill this gap.

And yes, it took seven years or hardships in this direction to wake up one morning with this vision. You see, the jobs market will change a lot in the next five years and I strongly believe that anybody should learn at least until a certain level how to deal with digital marketing because this is no longer something reserved just for marketers but it became mandatory.
