Becoming A Member Of The MMO Gang
This article is guest posted by Caleb.
Any of you who grew up in impoverished inner cities have undoubtedly come into contact with the infamous gang phenomenon. This phenomenon depicts in its rawest form the human need for belonging to something. And although most gangs are involved in questionable or illegal activity, that sense of belonging to a special group keeps then thriving with pride. It gives them identity, purpose, and protection – the same things you miss out on when there is no strong family structure at home.
But not all gangs are bad. After all, the word “gang” only means “a group of people who associate or work together”. Therefore, the internet marketing community of making money online can be considered to be a type of gang. And just like any other gang, in order to become a member you must get “jumped in”!
What does this process of getting jumped in involve?
Normally, it involves you willingly being surrounded by an army of veteran gang members while they literally beat the crap out of you with as many jabs and kicks as possible. If you stand your ground you are in…if you cry, run, or wuss out you are NOT “down” and may never have a chance to try out again.
Now how does this relate to the internet marketing community of making money online?
Nine times out of ten you will not be successful at making money online when you first start out. There is a steep learning curve that no ebook can ever teach because it is something that must be learned through direct experience which comes from you actually marketing a particular product or service. Only then will you get real results that allow you to tweak your offers until they turn into highly profitable results.
Along the way, expect to get verbally assaulted by veteran marketers in the forums, dissed in the comments of various blogs, humiliated on social networks, spat on by Google for attempting to manipulate search engine rankings, and financially broke from failed pay per click campaigns. But you must realize that these so-called failures and humiliations provide the absolute necessary feedback for you to implement in order to truly succeed. Just like you had to fall down to learn how to ride a bicycle, so it is with making money online or any other worthwhile endeavor you aspire to in life.
You must endure the struggle in order to prove you are really “down” with what you claim!
Only then will you truly experience success and fulfillment along with the independent confidence that comes from disciplining yourself to weather the storm and stand your ground. So may you rise among the ranks of online money makers to be a respected untouchable MMO gang leader :)

“Nine times out of ten you will not be successful at making money online when you first start out.”
Then I guess I still have at least 8 times to go, eh? Hehe :)
Great post, pretty entertaining to read something different like this every once in a while.

I thought there was some kind of a “make money online gang” or group that you are about to invite us to join in and I will jump in immediately. :-)
Hmmm! Why not we create a gang of MMO bloggers. There are some free social networking platforms where we can do that.

@Jackie, glad to help inspire you…don’t give up!
@Jim, perhaps I should have said “999,999 out of 1million”…see it’s just when you think ITs about over that IT actually begins :!:
There is another interesting piece I wrote based on all that I ‘ve learned up to date which details what I would do if I had to start all over from scratch…perhaps, it could be used as a great money making strategy for anyone who’s interested ;)

@ Make Money Online Business, what you mentioned can be easily done using a platform like Ning…but running a social network takes 100% dedication which cannot be properly focused on if you’re already dedicated to other sites you may own/operate.
But if you got the time, focus, and ingenuity then go for it and let us know so we can set up our profiles!

True caleb, there is some learning curve that one has to deal with. The toughest probably is business strategies planning and management. Not necessary the technology or the strategies that make things work.
This involves experience like you said
