One of the hottest job sectors on the planet right now is Internet Marketing and more specificly SEO. Not only is there a shortage of talent but there is also a ton of competition for what is available.

Did you ever think though that there is not actually a talent shortage but more accurately a shortage of people who know what they are doing who are willing to work for a pay check and deal with a boss.

I mean think about it if you know what you are doing the reality is making 40-50K a year after taxes with adSense, affiliate marketing and some direct informational product sales and perhaps some lead generation is really pretty easy to do.

Now what does that mean? It means that every truly qualified applicant you interview has the ability to self fund a minimum of 40,000 dollars in annual income for themselves relatively quickly and much more over time. Trust me when I tell you that these applicants know this is the case and to make it worse; if they are really any good they are probably already making 15-20K part time on their own.
