Every body who decides to start an on-line business can see the tremendous potential that the internet has to offer. Where else can a small business reach the incredible amounts of people that can be reached on the Internet? Where else can you start a business for such a small investment? Where else can make money even if you do not have a product or service of your own as you can on the Internet through promoting affiliate programs?
You can buy resale rights to a product that some one else created and sell it over and over and keep 100% of the profits. These types of money making opportunities have never been available before in history to the average person working out of their home.
It would seem that it is impossible NOT to make money, right?
I’ll answer that question by saying, if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. You see the reason that so many would be entrepreneurs never make money with their on-line businesses is because they are being sold an unrealistic expectation of success.
You will begin to make money on-line when you realize that you are not going to find any magic solution hidden in the virtual pages of some ebook.
Yes you need to learn from the best information that you can find but the key to your success will be solely based on your ability to mold what you have learned into your own unique product ,and the conviction in what you are doing to refuse to quit if buyers are scarce at first.
No matter how great the potential of the Internet is, unless you are willing to work and work hard in the beginning with very little to show for it, unless you count frustration as a perk you will never see the returns that the sales pages seduce you with.
Telling people that it is going to take work, and time, and perseverance, to make a lot of money on the Internet is not the way to sell a lot of pie in the sky ebooks, but I wouldn’t want to make money by selling people false dreams.
All that being said am I excited about Internet marketing? You bet! Because I know the work that is involved and I am not expecting to get rich and retire in a year. This gives me the mental advantage to deal with the disappointments, and the frustrations along the way.
That mental edge or attitude to deal with the roadblocks that you will encounter may be the biggest key to your success.
I had a chance to watch some of the Tour De France this year and the heart that those athletes have is inspiring. I started to think about what we do as we strive to build a better way of life for our selves, (although many times we may question if that is what we are doing), when some one took a fall or had equipment problems instead of wining and complaining they just got back on the bike and used their anger and frustration to drive them forward.
Failure was not an option to them. Now some cynical people may say, yah so what only one of them won the race. That is one way to look at it, but what impressed me is that they all crossed the finish line!
Don’t give up on your dreams, work at making them tomorrows realities.
I wish you great success in your business and in your life.
