How Internet Marketing Changed My Life

Posted on 16 February 2009 by George Chernikov (3)

1027303_50774495 It was only a few months ago that I was an unproductive, emotionally-unstable (well, ok, that part hasn’t changed one bit), depressed waste of biomass that thought there’s no better way to spend a day than to wake up every morning, log in to World of Warcraft and log off 14 hours later, drained, exhausted, weary and dizzy.

Long story short, I was a mess in every sense of the word. I had gym membership that was costing me $165/month and that I didn’t use once since August, a computer that I wouldn’t use for anything other than gaming and e-mailing, and a part-time job that I didn’t care about one bit.

Fast forward a few months later, and I am a completely different person. I barely log into WoW anymore, except when there are raids that I just have to attend. I spent my entire day at the computer – but working on websites or e-books instead of wasting hours on YouTube and The Daily Show. I exercise at least 3 times a week, and, in general, feel better than I ever have before (although those haunting thoughts about my ex still visit me occasionally).

What changed? Simple – I finally got serious about making money online (again).

I’m no success story by any stretch of imagination. I am not rolling in cash, driving expensive cars or dating supermodels. And yet every day I wake up with the feeling that what I do in the next 24 hours will take me one step further towards my goal of financial independence.

Every day I wake up, I know I am going to spend it productively – whether by finishing my latest site or e-book, updating this blog or building my image on Tweeter.

Internet Marketing has, without doubt, changed my life. It gave me purpose where I had none – and the means to pursue my dreams.

And that, my friends, is the biggest motivator of them all.
