What are you afraid of?

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

In my quest to promote Wealthy Affiliates I have encountered a recurring theme. People are afraid to give Internet Marketing a try. I ask What are you afraid of ? Maybe it's the fear of what other people will think or maybe it's because you don't think you are computer literate enough.
I heard a speaker the other day that had a unique insight. He believes Americans are afraid. My thought was Afraid of what? He went on to explain that the unending bad news of the last several years has caused people to become afraid and without hope. I say B.S. Sure we are tired of the endless political crap from Washington but I don't believe we have given up on our country.
We are still free to spend our money and time as we want. If you don't like the current political system you are still free to work at changing it. We have freedoms that other countries would be and are willing to die for. I believe our problem is we have taken our eye off the ball. We have become complacent and used to somebody else taking care of the problems.
Sure Internet Marketing may require a leap of faith for some of you. Are you one of those that is fearful and hopeless. I ask again What are you afraid of ?
