Rewarding,The,Internet,Markete marketing Rewarding The Internet Marketer's Spouse

Automation technologies represent a fundamental aspect of any modern industry. The major types of industrial automation solutions, such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and MES, are used on a large-scale in process and discrete industries.DCS technologie Awhile ago, I got an email from one of the "gurus" I follow and it shocked me. The gist of it was this person wanted to trade services for a household item.To say it floored me would be an understatement.What was worse was a few days later t

Consider these factors:I work at home, full time over the Internet.I have a business that most people just plain do not understand.I work in a field that most people do not even know exists.I stay home all day.I often stay up all night working and sleep in very late.This looks very bad to 'regular' folks.It's of no concern to me. I'm literally immune to other people'sopinions. I've always been a bit of a loner anyway.What I'm wondering, though, is how does my wife deal with this? Imean, she's not really sure just exactly what it is I'm doing hereanyway, and yet she backs me up. For that, I'll have to reward hersomeday.It's tough on her at times, though, and it's especially tough on herwhen talking to others.I've seen her try to handle the questions before. I rememberspecifically what it was like when my wife's aunt and uncle first metme. We were just starting to look into moving to Montana, and westopped by their house to let them know we would be coming to thearea."So, what does your husband do for a living?" her aunt asked, as Isat across the room talking to her uncle."He works over the Internet," my wife answered. This is where Auntgave my wife one of those looks that's easier to read than a 10 footneon sign.Her look said, "But the Internet is a just a play toy for computergeeks and college students. He can't be making any money from that--- unless he's a scam artist.""What does he do over the Internet?" Aunt replied politely in spite ofher thoughts."He sends out newsletters," my wife answered. (That's her take onwhat I'm doing here. For a better explanation, see my web site. It'sactually just a LITTLE more complicated than that!)"Uncle," Aunt called to her husband in return to my wife's simplisticexplanation of my business, "Joe there is looking for work."I can only imagine what my wife was feeling at that moment. Wiveslike to be proud of their husbands. Heck, wives like to BRAG abouttheir husbands. So having a job that leaves people thinking I'm, well,basically a bum and a thief is probably a just little hard on her ego.She tries to explain that yes, I do make money, and that no, I won'tbe going to jail for it, and that yes, I do actually accomplishsomething, and that no, I'm not just trying to get out of having a realjob and...It doesn't really work, though, and I feel for her. Someday I'll haveto reward her for her loyalty.It probably doesn't help when Aunt comes to visit at 11:30 a.m. andI'm still in bed asleep either. She doesn't know that I was up until5:30 a.m. working away. She doesn't know that I usually end upworking at night because during the day I like to do things with mywife and kids.All she sees is a bum that "sleeps in 'til Noon!" Of course, therelatives wouldn't dare say anything to me about their opinion.Instead, my wife gets blasted with it.Friends don't help any either. I've heard the talk. "How can youstand having your husband around all the time like that?" Or, "Runhim out of the house! Tell him to get a real job!" Or, "I bet all hedoes is sit at the computer looking at porno sites all day."Whoa! Yes, I've been accused! Now, honestly, if there was a waya man could make money by doing nothing but sitting in front of thecomputer all day looking at naked women, I'm SURE that programwould get a LOT of recruits, but until that happens...Ahem. Anyway, uh... What was I saying?It doesn't seem to make any difference that I make money at iteither. No matter how much time I've spent trying to explain it topeople, most of my conversations usually end up with me shyingaway from job offers.My wife is very understanding, though, and to her credit she reallyhas stuck by me. For that, she deserves a just reward.In the very beginning, I convinced her to look at the Internet as aninvestment because I was spending money and not making any. Infact, the Internet remained in the 'investment' category forabout seven months. That's hard on a wife. Especially considering Ihad told her I would have all our debts paid off in the first three.Yes, as a newbie I fell long and hard for the hype of how easy it allwas. I owe her for that statement as well, and I will reward her.While the Internet is now running in the 'profit' category, there is still adesire and a growing need to boost it all the way up into the 'wealth'category. My business is growing, and making more each month so Iknow I'll get there. However, I'm not yet to the point where mymoney alone will shut the mouths of all the skeptics.But by golly, I CAN'T WAIT until I am!For my wife's sake, of course.No, seriously, I am a nice guy. I'm not going to ridicule those thatridiculed me. I'm not going to shun those that shunned me. Iunderstand why they view me the way they do. I know they don'treally comprehend what I'm doing and so I understand theirskepticism and their criticism of me.Therefore, when I do reach the 'wealth' category, I'm not going tothumb my nose at anyone. I'm not going to painfully remind them ofhow they mistreated me in the past. Heck, I'm not even going togloat in my 'not working for a boss, self earned wealth'.I'll just let my wife do it.Ha! Ha! There's your reward, baby! You go girl!!!Pass this one on to your spouses everyone. Let them know theirreward is coming. Then let's all push our marketing into the 'wealth'category and enjoy it with them.I know this ain't church, but there's only one thing that can be said tothat...Amen! ----------------------------------------------------------------------Written by Joe Bingham, Editor of the NetPlay NewslettersSubscribe to One 3 Quality NetPlay Ezines, See which one fits you at:http://www.netplaynewsletters.comPublish Your Own Quality Ezine with Little Work and a Lot of Helphttp://www.netplaynewsletters.com/publisher.html---------------------------------------------------------------------- Article Tags: Make Money
