I started dabbling(涉足) in the Internet marketing in October 2010. It didn’t take long for me to become a victim(受害者) of the “become-a-millionaire(百万富翁)-overnight”______that was so popular on the Internet. I had supposed that selling things on the Internet was so easy that even beginners could start making money on the very ______ day. I spent most of my time advertising rather than learning ______ to advertise. However, half a year’s hard work led to no money at all.

In June, I found a program that was ______, and I began to learn from it. It wasn’t long before I gave ______ the “get-rich-quick” mind. I began to ______ that the Internet sale is a job like any other job and I would have to take it ______. I kept trying to cheer myself up, which I thought was the key to success in sales. I insisted on the excellent Internet marketing and then good ______ came. My dabbling became a hobby, and then passion(热情). Later passion ______ my business. I have really become a millionaire within a year.
