In this recession, people are thinking of just about anything to break into the online world of business, make some money on the side, and see where it leads. Many people are skeptical, uninformed, ignorant and leery of embarking on this journey for independence and all belief is based on what they have heard. Statements like, "You can earn $1,000 a day" or "How I made $97,687 in 24 Hours" etc. And the list of claims goes on.
Now I am not saying this is impossible, but what I am stressing, is that this is not possible for the average person on the street. I define an average person as someone who does not have Internet Marketing experience, has not done any reading on Internet Marketing, has not studied under the direction of some self proclaimed Internet Guru, and has not sold anything online, not even through eBay. This is my definition of the average person, who has a job (or not) and sees the Internet as an information tool.
This average persons understanding and knowledge of Internet Business and Opportunities are influences by what they hear, group think and opinions of others. The messages that this average person hears either through advertising or social talk are as follows:
You can make millions on the internet; it's the new wild west of business.
Internet millionaires are made every day.
There are many scam artists online, that will rob you on your hard earned money without a flinch.
You have to start an e commerce store and sell something.
Affiliate marketing is what you should be doing to make money.
And the list goes on and on and on...
There are anywhere from 1000 to 10000 tales, legends, ideas for making money online, what you should be doing and what not etc. The average person is bombarded with messages about online opportunities and making real money online that it would be practically impossible to discern reality from fiction, honesty from thievery. I know how tough my start was and the hours I had to put into reading, listening, asking, making costly mistakes putting me more and more into a negative mindset about making money online. It becomes tiring to keep making mistakes, and at the same time be absolutely clueless about where to start, whether you're on the right path, whether you should change direction, how to measure progress etc. It can be very confusing and frustrating with all the opinions and conflicting or outdated information online.
The truth is this: To make real money online is really easy and really hard. It all depends on your knowledge and experience. If you don't have any knowledge, you won't know what opportunities to take, and won't spot any opportunities other than falling prey to Internet Marketers promising to make you thousands overnight. If you don't have any experience you won't know what to do, what to avoid or how to measure your success at a venture.
I was signing up to courses, programs and opportunities left, right and center. The frenzy was fueled by frustration and anticipation of the holy grail of internet marketing and the pursuit of the answer; how to really make money online.
Most internet marketers made good money off me, I got angry and started realizing that after 16 programs, costing between $30 and $150 each was more than I could afford to lose. I started realizing that anything cheap and nasty is most likely that; affordable for the masses, and useless information, or more information than instruction.
My salvation came through some rational thought and a hard look at the mistakes I had made. I had blown $1,500 on lots of information, which cost me more in time reading and absorbing, which time could have been better spent learning the real stuff. I decided to sign up to a program that made modest claims, stressed the need to work hard, learn and to my surprise, promised to instruct on a "winning formula". I had nothing more to lose, I signed up vouching that it would be my last.
I was pleasantly surprised to find the contact details of Executive Members that were available to help by getting on the phone or emailing. This was no useless information products or "education", but real hands on teaching, learning and application of what it takes, and what to do. The 'winning formula' is such a cliché online, but it is exactly that; the formula or methods you should use to make a success of your venture and really make money online. I invite you to visit 100KWorx and see what this is all about.
The truth is this, there is no quick road to success, but with the right education, instruction and application, it will make that road much as short as it can possibly be and making money becomes a reality. I am very grateful for one thing though; the instruction through audio, video and literature has helped me in more ways than anticipated. I have use this foundation to innovate and grow my strategies and methods to encompass many more businesses which I am in full control of.
