You hear on a daily basis that you can make money even serious money from
affiliates - that is true. But nobody tells you what you need to make
little or serious money online. Nobody or only few people give you the
right tools to make this kind of money.
To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly
prepared. Have you ever tried to jump from a ten meter plate in a pool
without first jumping from a lower jump-plate - I guess not because it is
scaring. The same happens when you start your online business with
affiliate products or services. You don't just build a business because
someone else has one, do you? Or you know that to be a rocket scientist, a
doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher
there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be
successful, you don't just jump right in unprepared.
I tell you the same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though
there are unsavory people out there who'd have you believe it's a "Walk in
the Park" and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.
Dead wrong - you have to obtain the skills and tools for your online
success. Without the proper tools there is no way to become successful,
period!
And I'll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have
to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to
someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules
you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet
marketing work for you.
Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will
make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?
My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, "what comes
first the chicken or the egg"? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each
argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no
clue and I don't think many of us do either.
But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make
money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or
service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.
Without passion it is like an I-have-to-do-job because I have to make money.
Passion in this sense simply means that you've researched and like the
company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like
(or Passion) into the education, excitement and work that usually accompany
Passion. With other words with passion you kind forget the time if you know
what I mean. You work without looking every five minutes at your watch and
see how much time has passed.
I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they
do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I'm
concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an
online business successfully.
Now, I'm not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing
necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good
marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and
etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join - but
sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.
It therefore follows that, if you have no Passion for the company and the
products and services provided by that company, again, you won't attempt to
do the work you are being taught.
Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time
consuming but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you off and
running with a sustained effort so that you won't stumble.
You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about
the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!
Your research should uncover a company that you like and have confidence
in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand
with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have
Passion. If you don't find it move on,
You can find the right opportunity containing the credits identified above.
Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is
excellent so I guess I'll start that business - does not sound like a
decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an
Internet "guru" does that, don't be tempted, because as I said earlier they
are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate
about the company products and services.
Note: By the way it's your goal to get to the point where you can sell
about anything online and be a successful entrepreneur. That end skill and
goal is a worthy one indeed and should really inspire you.
Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet
Marketing but if you don't first find the right company products and
services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause
you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.
Not being Passionate about a company and products and services that has
market proof that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.
Otherwise you just waste your time.
