    most are at their parent's home playing video games.
    where are they? too many are not pursuing the american dream. perhaps their parent's spoiled them. perhaps government freebies enfeeble and enervate them.

    maybe that picture is from 20 years ago.....

    Isnt it funny to see a picture from the 90s and see computer monitors that big....I know in 10 years were going to look at bunch of people sitting in a room with laptops or tablets and think hahaha, because by then will have holograms where we wont even need to carry these big 3 pound laptops or 12 inch tablets....it will be a simple hologram and that will be the peak of technology

    :p

    haven't you learned from trading markets not to pick tops or bottoms?

    not exactly. the winners keep at internet marketing until they succeed. it is partially skill and partially luck in timing. the old maxim if you don't succeed try,try again definitely applies. the key is that barriers to entry in terms of money can be extremely low.

  5. but it's human nature to give up at some point after failure. personally, I've completely given up on internet marketing and found other streams of income, that are by far superior in terms time usage as well as overall profit. no, it's not trading hehe, but I still try that, too :)

    if you always stick to something that doesn't work out, then you'll miss a lot of opportunities that could work better for you. :)

    If YouTube can afford to pay out so well for people using there site, imagine how much money over all they must be making, Sure made a lot of slightly talented people that don't mind playing computer games while recording a voice over a hell of a lot of money.

    My kids, watch the videos more than they play the games, but never click or buy anything from the advertising as I'm sure 99% don't, entire eco structure built on advertising, can't be good long term really.

    Short term, go for it ofcourse!

    Sure there are traders, giving tutorials, losing in real life, but making loads from the hits.

    * goes to look for them *

  7. I WISH that i'd have spent the last 6 years trying to get youtube famous instead of trying to learn to trade! I could have put in 10 hour days for the last 6 years and maybe i'd have built a big subscriber fan base! Probably do piano/guitar tutorials or something, although the big money seems to be in computer games and makeup!

    edit: here's another one who lives very close to me!

    This 49yr old makes a few 100k a year by running around in bikini on a farm.

    But she deserves it, she's really talented!

    Okay fit and a nice boob job I guess, but 90% of watchers have her muted.

    Internet marketers would be paying tax on their income. They'd be incorporated as a sole proprietorship or corp. so they'd be counted in employment ? Pretty sure
