These days no one can decide whether the economy is going up or down. Either
way it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that more folks are looking
to make money online. When there are fewer jobs, people go looking for a "Plan
B"; which can often turn out to be a blessing in disguise!
Sure, we all want security at the least possible effort, and that is why
people want a job! While being self-employed is more challenging than just
knowing what time to be at work, it is also more rewarding! There is always ‘two
sides to the metal - the shiny side and the dark side'.
Clearly it's possible to make money on the web, just open your web browser
and take a look. People are doing it every day. Without further ado, based on
our experience, let's look at making an income on the Internet.
1. Set your expectations. Have you ever been in the market
for a car? Have you ever notice d that once you become aware of the car you
want suddenly you notice that car on the highway everywhere? It seems like you
start thinking about something and all of a sudden, like magic, that subject
appears everywhere! - Well, yes and no. It is part of the human brain wiring to
get what you expect. The (unfiltered) reality is, that subject was all around
all the time, but the brain is wired to filter them out. What happens is the
filters in the brain were adjusted, and that topic was allowed in! We need
these filters to manage all the data we are presented with, each and every day!
The trick is to manage the filters! So set your expectation to succeed!
2. Create a solid agreement. There is an old football
saying which goes: "when the going gets tough, the tough get going!" Nothing
great happens without action. Think for a moment what you know about Thomas
Edison. When Thomas Edison was interviewed by a young reporter who boldly asked
Mr. Edison if he felt like a failure and if he thought he should just give up
by now. Perplexed, Edison replied, "Young man,
why would I feel like a failure? And why would I ever give up? I now know
definitively over 9,000 ways that an electric light bulb will not work. Success
is almost in my grasp." And shortly after that, and over 10,000 attempts, Edison invented the light bulb. So make a solid agreement
within yourself to succeed.
3. Build with experience. "We are like dwarfs standing [or
sitting] upon the shoulders of giants, and so able to see more and see farther
than the ancients." Is the exact quote, from the 12th century French
philosopher Bernard of Chartres
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_of_Chartres. In this day and age there is
no reason to go at it alone. Rely on those who have gone before you. There are
so many groups/forums online that you can nearly find the answer to any
question you have with just a little research. Also, build from your own experiences.
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!"
Nothing of value happens overnight. And we must set in our brains an
attitude of *now*. If we play the ‘tomorrow' game, the calendar day will
arrive, and it will be missing the results we we're looking for! This theme is
has been repeated throughout the ages in excellent books like, "Action! Nothing
Happens Until Something Moves" by Robert Ringer or Og Mandino who carries this
adage as the primary message of his book, "The Greatest Salesman in the World"
with the mantra, "do it now". In fact, he says "I will act now", 18 times in
Scroll IX (9).
So generating an income online is not so much about the product or service
you're promoting but rather about the attitude and determination you have to
succeed. None the less, we are committed to teaching you the "how to" of online
marketing throughout the rest of the articles in this category. But to begin
with expect success, be committed, learn from others, and you will surely be on
the straight path to success.
