Why Internet Marketing is So Hard

As I noted in other posts, my degree in university didn’t pay off so far. But I had gotten into internet marketing, but after a short run of success with employment blogs (around 2011) things went down as SEO got tougher - and I just didn’t have the income to succeed with marketing.

So that’s the problem with web developers making websites: They are just for fun. There’s no chance of making money from them! If people think they can make money, they are deluded.

But the world these days is a delusion, but the delusion was way worse before than now. People were deluded into thinking they could rule the world, so to speak, they could have the next successful website and make money - without having to answer to some boss or do manual labor.

Frankly speaking, internet marketing isn’t very hard. people find it hard because they don’t know what is it and how to do it. lack of knowledge is the reason why people find it hard. Internet marketing requires various skill sets from SEO to content creation

Even with an advanced knowledge, I believe SEO demands an SEO company - because they have all the needed backlinks.

Internet marketing is hard because there’s so much competition for people’s attention. Even good content or products can get ignored because countless businesses are promoting similar things. It takes time to get the results because algorithms, trends, and audience preferences keep changing, thus, it ks difficult to rely on one strategy.
