Nice comparison here. I think internet marketing as well as fishing require a lot of patience – it is a similarity between both.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you can profit by selling him bait, fishing equipment, boats and other expensive fishing accessories for a lifetime.

Fishing is a pretty nice and relaxing activity..it can help us calm our senses..but just like what you’ve said..we always don’t have enough time and patience..same thing with our online business..we need to treat it same way we treat fishing..with patience and ample time..^^ that way the rewards will be great.

Hi Andy

Interesting post, but i can not fully agree. ;-)
I love to fish and can easily touch maggots or worms or other bait.
Touching the catch hadn’t ever been a problem either, but
long sale pages and paperwork scare me…

Thx for your cool blog

@Wade

While I certainly enjoy fishing unto itself (biting or not) the end result of “catching” certainly intensifies the experience for me.

Actually, just got back from one of my wilderness trips yesterday. Weather was cold and rainy. Ice out was late making the conditions less than desirable. Keeping to the analogy, not unlike market conditions. Trying to find what worked better/best, given the conditions.

If one were a fisherman (marketer) by trade or out of desire/necessity, the end result, “catching and landing”, becomes just as important, if not more so, than the actual enjoyment of the process.

This “underground training” actually looks quite impressive. It says it sold out, but you can get on a waiting list for limited openings. Doesn’t matter for me though, as it’s way beyond my budget.

Wow…I love to fish, but I don’t have much time to do it, probably because I jump around too much with my internet marketing. Actually I think I’m better at fishing the fishing! We only have one pond close by so that’s probably the reason.

Thanks for giving me food for thought!

I agree with the analogy and actually dislike fishing myself.

You spend hours and hours just hoping to get a single catch.

Unfortunately it’s essential if you don’t have a huge advertising budget.
