“Hey man, you can't live without internet, can't you? As a fact, your whole
life is inside that box, isn't it? Ok, this was a joke. You have your life, and
it's outside of the computer, am I right? You are just temporarily hooked up,
with no intention to spend your life in a front of the screen, whatsoever. You
just need some time to post some replies, to make some updates, close some
accounts and so one. I believe you, don't worry. After all, who am I?“
“Yeah, who the hell are you and why are you telling me this? My business is
internet, and my business is my life. Mind your own business man, leave me
alone!“
“No, I won't leave you alone. You are alone, already. You probably like to be
alone. That's why you are online, at first place.“
“Who, me? Oh, no! I'm not alone! I've got lot of friends. I've got family,
friends, so many of them!“
“Really?! Didn't know that. Tell me where are your friends, when did you see
them last time?“
“What do you mean?!“
“You know what I mean. When did you last time spoke with any of your
friends?“
“Well, if you really want to know, I just had a nice chat with a few of my
friends and they were really curious about what…“
“Hey, hey, stop for a moment, will you! Are we talking here about the online
friends, that you think you have, or about your real friends that are online at
the moment?“
“Oh, man, you are something! Of course they are my real friends. They exist,
just like you. But, they don't bother other people. Unlike you, they are nice
people, with the nice manners…“
“Oh, I know what you mean! I have some nice friends, too. I have a lot of
friends at MySpace, Facebook, everywhere.“
“Here we go! What did I tell you! You see?“
“Yeah, sure. I am a happy guy having so many friends. I am so happy,
especially when my friends send me some beautiful images with links all around,
and I press them and they take me at different places where I can buy my friends
products. Oh, Gosh how I love to help my friends to earn some money, really do!
They must be a truly friends sending me these nice little images all the time.“
“That's mean, man, so mean!“
“No, it's not, really! My friends are great! And they are so polite, they
don't even try to tell me that they're selling something, isn't that cool?“
“Come on…man! What's wrong with the selling? Everyone wants to sell
something, so what? Doesn't mean they don't care about you? I am also trying to
sell something. I've just came up with a new product! As a fact, I'm building a
new landing page, and this blog I have, I just need to…“
“Ok, ok! I got you. I see where you heading. Making money online! I just love
the issue. Don't say anything more about, you probably calculating keywords
right now. Am I right?“
“Well…“
“Well what?! Are you on the way to get rich, or not? Come on, be a pall. Tell
me about it. Let me hear your dirty little secrets, ha?“
“Well…it's not so easy, you know. There's a lot to do, and I need some more
time to make everything work. You see, I was on this SEO webinar and it was so
great, and there's this guy, you know, he's a really great guy…“
“Don't tell me! He's willing to share his secrets with you?“
“Yeah, how did you know?!“
“No, I was just guessing. It's fisherman.“
“Who?!“
“Fisherman, the guy.“
“What guy? No, this guy's name was Marcus or something, I don’t remember
right now…“
“No, I mean it was a Fisherman, that guy, whoever he is. He is Fisherman and
you are the fish!“
“What's that suppose to mean?“
“Look, just try to type a word "money" or "making money online" at Google,
Yahoo or elsewhere, and what happens? You'll get millions of pages and millions
of linking sites and products about your query. Seems to me that money is the
number one selling product as well as the number one buying product on the
planet. Ha, ha!“
“So…!?“
“So, nobody cares why they are selling you this "money making" product. You
got to look this way, pall. They are selling you "selling"!? Why they are doing
that, why? Can't you see? It's because they can't make really money by really
selling real things. So they sell you "selling dream". And that's the best
product they come up with! Yeah, surely the best product ever. And still
everyone is immediately hooked up!“
“…?“
“Yeah, I know, I'm speechless, too. And if they can't make money, they sell
you "selling" and you buy this "selling" and then what?! You can't sell
anything, either. So, finally you end up with nothing, except lost time and
money! So you start selling this "selling" thing to someone else, to gain back
your losses.“
“I don't know, man, it sounds ...“
“Yeah, I know how it sounds. It sounds like "money word", "keyword", "PPC",
"SEO", "affiliate", "niche", "automoney" or any other word. The most powerful of
all "Fast Money" sellers are those with these featuring keywords. They are most
successful fisherman in the Web Ocean. They catch easy fishes like you every
single day. They do it with very sophisticated and nicely looking hook that
shines like a gold, using a simple green bite (a big double striped "S" one) and
keep fishing wherever and whenever they want.“
“ (LOL)! “
“You just keep on smiling. There is a plenty of fish everywhere in the Web
Ocean, my friend. And there are no possibilities to endanger or extinct this
population of the species (that means - you). But, they are just one link in a
chain, although a very important one. Their job is to keep the ocean alive and
to keep the permanent hunger by feeding the fishes with the crumbs from their
plates.“
“That's funny, you know! Keep talking, you're really amusing!“
“And you know what?“
“What?“
“These fisherman, they are just a small fishes like you, also!“
“How come?“
“'Cause they are fed with the crumbs from the Webmaster's plate.“
(LOL)
“And who are the "Webmasters"?“
“ "Webmasters" are the Masters in true meaning of the word. They invented the
web at first place. People who own big web companies are the masters of the Web
Universe, in a way, Gods. We all know their respectable names. They invented it,
and not just that. They invented viruses and reinvented antiviruses, bugs and
updates, first versions of their software and the every second one to keep you
alive, so called "updated", so that you won't escape, you won't die out there.
They invented, own it and exploit it all, from the first day and forever. And
when they die, they'll leave it to their children's children, and so one. Have
no doubts about it! Their famous motto "Web belongs to all of us" is a bed time
story, and we all go sleep every night believing in that story, with the same
big smile on our faces. We are happy, they are happy, fisherman is happy,
everybody's happy! The whole world is happy!“
“Wow! You are crazy guy, you know! Anyway, what's wrong with being happy?“
“Nothing's wrong, if you think you're happy. Are you?“
“Well, I'm happy right now, I must tell you that!“
“Are you really? Are you really going to say to me that you like the things
are going on, on this planet, in this very moment? I don’t think so. I would
say, you are disappointed too, just like me. But you can't do anything about it,
you can't make things changed.“
“Oh, now we are talking global, ha? And why is that so? Why can't we change
the things they are?“
“Can't we?! Or, maybe we don’t want to? Maybe we like the way the things are?
Maybe we like to be hooked, to be fished, and catch some crumbs along by. Maybe
we need our dreams. Maybe we can't live without our dreams.“
“Now, we're talking!“
“Yes, but, what would happened, just imagine, if we could pulled out our
cables from that monster, just for a day, week or even month!? Just to go
offline for a while, to unplugged this misery of virtual life for a second and
go outside among the real people, real us!“
“Sounds good, man!“
“Think about it, would it be great? And don't you forget, Web is not a
virtual, it's a real. You could be seriously hurt over there, emotionally,
financially, in any way! Think about this for a moment, will you?“
“Yeah, I'm thinking, I'm thinking …“
“So, what do you see now?“
“Let me see…hmm…I see a LOSER! You!“ (LOL)
“Ok, you disagree. You think I am a loser, it's easy to be a looser and for
losers, there is no place on the web. So, you must be a winner, a natural born
winner, ha?“
“Hmm, sounds good...“
“ You know every how to, every where and when, you are not like me, you have
all essentials in your hand, all the facts, all and more! Yes, you are the man!“
“I'm the man!“
“Yes, I must admit, I am defeated, I am a failure. You're the boss! You are
'KNOWHOW"!“
“Knowhow?! I like that!
“Now my "boss", let me go back for a moment at the beginning of your "making
money online" story. This is "stuff" you like, I bet!“
“Yes, how did you know?!“
“ Well, I’ll go right to the point. This is something deeper than a simple
tale, something more real, ok. Here we go!
There is no chance for you to
seriously make any money online if you are not highly qualified, highly educated
in informatics, computer science, or whatever you want to call it. You have to
be a computer software guru and freshly updated with the tons and tons of
materials. This is something that nobody will tell you, at least no one from the
other side of your game board, but it's a fact. Face it!“
“I'm faced!“
“Computer knowledge, software and computer languages, and everything that
goes with it (and everything goes, believe me) is just a part of the "Easy
Making Money" story. Marketing is another big part, too. Basic education and
intelligence of the person, another. Time and money that goes with it, another
one. Some of the mentioned are the specialties for which you have to finish a
few colleges. For another you need experience, which cost you time and money.
You can't do it from a scratch. "Scratch" is a big lie! There is no scratch in a
life. The only one was when you were born!“
“I was born without a scratch! Really, my mom told me!“
“It's not funny, man. Face it, you are alone out there!“
“I am?“
“Yes, you are.“
“So, now what? I kill myself?!“
“Hey, but don't worry, you are not alone! Here am I! I'll help you.“
“Will you? Lucky me! How?“
“It's easy. The only thing you have to do is to take that piece of wire
hanging out of your lovely PC machine and cut it! They will be cut off, and you
could become someone's real friend...let's say mine, for a start!“
“Wow! Now we are talking! Your friend. Let me see...your true friend?!“
“Why not!“
“Ok, cut the crap, man!“
“No, you cut the wire!“
“No, man seriously, you really mean what you're saying? And what do you think
I suppose to do right now? Leave everything, just like that?!“
“Yes…but first you have to try to look at the big picture! “
“The BIG PICTURE?!“
“That's right. In this case, it means that EVERYTHING YOU SEE, HEAR OR YOU'RE
INVOLVED IN, AT THE WEB, IS JUST INSIDE OF THAT PICTURE, that box, hard disc or
this temporary connection you have, and that’s it. There is nothing more to it.
The World is outside, not inside, can’t you see?! Your wife, son or daughter,
your mother, father or your friend is waiting for your look, for turning your
eyes away from that window, for a moment, for a day, forever maybe?“
“Wow, I don't know about that!“
“You see, I told you, you can't! You became a machine! A machine connected
with a thousands of tweets, feeds, comments and updates, logins and logouts,
sources and shares, classifieds and emails, blogs and posts, url's and ftp's,
groups and supports, patches and crawlers, links and filters…and no one can stop
you.“
“ (LOL)“
“Nobody has right to stop you, either. One could become an anti-social
element, trying to stop you. The whole world is gone upside down, whole world! I
just wonder about a poor skinny child from some deserted part of the planet -
does he know what even television set is, a computer? Does he need any of that
stuff to feed the hunger, to heal the pain in those big blurry eyes? I don’t
know. Maybe we deserve such a self destructive end of the humanity?!“
“We do, I know!“
“Yeah, we probably do. To poison our own future…well, that’s us! Nothing new
about it.“
“Nothing new.“
“You know, someone once said; the better I get to know men, the more I find
myself loving dogs!“
“I know the guy. He's name is Fischer, Martin H.!“
“Yeah, that's the guy! What a true!“
“Yeah, maybe he's fisherman, too?! You know, Fischer…Fisherman, who can trust
the guy with such a name?!“
“Get the hell out of here! You are really something, you know! You make me
sick, sometimes. You are acting destructive right now, don't you know that?“
“It's true, I am destructive. I like to be destructive. I'm a true-born
anarchist!“
“I bet you are. You are making a fun of me, and you know I'm right!“
“No, I mean it! I am!“
“Well, we are all destructive, not just you, and not just for ourselves. We
are hurting our mother Earth, hurting badly. And she is going to fight back some
day, maybe soon.“
“She is?!“
“Yeah, she is going to shake us from her back like a bunch of fleas...just
like that!“
“And then what?“
“Then, we are going to cry...yes, cry like a babies, wondering what happened,
why, whom to blame, who's going to help us?“
“And who is going to be so stupid to help us, what do you think?“
“Well, Martians maybe! Or, maybe God, in whom we trust so much!“
“Yes, that’s it! God! He's the only one who doesn’t care if we sin, he
forgives. He's the only one we can count on.“
“ Maybe. Although I doubt that we will wait for that moment, that we will not
prevail, change, change things and prevail.“
“Aha, what did I tell you! I knew you are a true believer in a human race!“
“I am! After all I'm just a man, full of optimism and hope for humanity. I
wish that same lies in each of us, and I just wish that every bad turns out
good.“
“Now, I really don't need mother Earth, you make me cry already!“
“I hear your cynicism, all right. So, if you don’t want to turn back from
your "links", don’t worry, I will survive!“
“Web will survive, man. Web!“
“Yeah…I know…sad!“
“Oh, come on, don't you die on me now! You are a great thinker, you know! You
almost got me! I was nearly ready to give up on everything!“
“Did you really?“
“Yes, man. I almost cut the wire in one moment. If you weren't there…who
knows!“
“You're kid'n me, right?“
“No, man, seriously! I believe in you. I believe in everything you've just
said. And I'm going to reconsider the whole matter, really! If you are right, it
means that whole world is wrong, and it's a hell of the fact! Shocking! Amazing
thing! You should start thinking to write a book about the stuff, you know!“
“Think so?! Oh, I don't know, I didn't have any thoughts about a book.“
“Yeah, sure! A book! Maybe an article…for a start!“
“You know, I have to be honest, I was thinking about article or two, maybe
just a few short ones, for a beginning, just to feel the market, you know!“
“Wow, now we talking! You know what? I got some great ideas that I picked up
from this guy I was told you about…“
“Really, can't wait to hear, what…can you send me some text or something?“
“Are you kid'n me! I've got tons of scripts, pdf's, whole bunch of stuff! We
can make money of it, piece of cake!“
“Great, I was hoping you'd say something like that…“
“Something?! Wait 'till you see this stuff I'm sanding you! You'll be online
tonight, will you?“
“Oh, sure! Don't worry about that. I'm online, sure I'm online. I was born
online. I'll fuck’n die online, man!“
“That's a speech! See you pall, over and out!“
“I hardly wait! Roger, over and out!“
