The Complete Truth About Making Money From The Web

The Not-So-Fluffy Truth About Making Money Online
By Jim B Atkins

What would you do with an extra $1,000 per day? This is not just some random number, but reflects actual earning potential from making money online (and is only the beginning in many cases). Also, try not to confuse this with "making money from home". One of the most inspiring notions about making money on the internet is that you can do it from anywhere in the world with a laptop and even the faintest WiFi signal.

Sounds pretty great, right?

... Okay, now for some not-so-great stuff (depending on how you look at it).

If you really want to make the kind of money discussed above, then you absolutely have to know what you're getting into first. Because the path leading up to financial security through online endeavors is paved with some very cold, very hard facts. However, it all comes down to what you do with those facts that means the difference between enlightenment and surrender.

Ready? Let's go.

Fact #1:

Making money online is hard work. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Otherwise it would be called "getting money online". But this is a good thing--no, a great thing--because once you get to the point where you know how to make it, you just keep making it (and exponentially more and more of it). On the other hand, if someone just came along and handed you that money, you might just spend the rest of your life waiting for someone else to come along and give you some more. Makes sense, right?

Also, this is not the same "hard work" that keeps you reaching for alarm clocks every day to go places you hate, performing tasks you dread. You make the hours, and you make the workload. Just remember that with making money online, your greatest ally is education, because the research never ends. But again, this is a great thing because you will eventually get to the point where you enjoy the learning. Regardless of how cliche it may seem, knowledge is power. Always.

Fact #2:

You will not make money online right away. This can be very discouraging for many, and is quite probably the number one killer of all would-be online ventures. The good news is, there are two great ways to deal with it:

• Stay focused on small goals first (and write them down). It's these small goals that lead to slightly bigger goals, and then much bigger goals, and then... you get the point. In other words, don't try to make goo-gobs of money right here and now (because you won't). Instead, aim to land just one sale per month. And then one per week. And then, over time, you'll be making money without even trying. You'll be absolutely amazed at how inspiring--and empowering--this simple step can be.


• Breathe and Believe. If you truly want to make money online, even by way of the scantiest ambition, you have to understand that every last person first starts off where you are. Period. Yes, there are mobs of idiots out there with flashy sales pitches preaching secrets to instant wealth. Ignore them. In fact, if you'd like to know an even better secret: a lot of those monkeys don't make money, either. If they did, then what's up with all the theatrics? That said, there are some fantastic resources for learning how to make money online.

So, to recap: making money online takes hard, hard work, both in the beginning and in the long-haul. But anything worth-while does. However, once you get the great money-making flywheel's momentum ramped, it's only a matter of nudging here-and-there to keep it spinning hard.

Just remember to start with small goals, ignore the idiots, and believe.

Thank you.
