I've been in internet marketing since 2004. I was finally able to start doing it full time in 2007 and have been successful at it ever since. It takes awhile to learn and even then, nothing is guaranteed that you will succeed. The trick is: don't look for shortcuts.
Wow the competition way back 2004 when it comes to internet marketing is still low. For sure you've learn a lot from your journey up til now with internet marketing. Thanks with your suggestion about looking for short cuts. The new generations wanted almost everything to go for short cuts, but it's better to do it the usual way.
