How To Make Money

By john savage

In their rush to make money quickly online, many people try to run before they have learnt to walk. If you want to be a professional soccer star, a musician, an IT whizz kid, a singer, there are certain things that you must know and do first before you reach this status.

Its much the same in internet marketing, although you need to beware of the people who claim that all you have to do is "turn up" in order to make a pile.

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 what I can say is that first and foremost, in order to make money online you need to love and believe in the product or service that you are offering.

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.

OK, you are probably thinking that you know of many people who make a success online without knowing much about their product, or having much of a love for it, but when you dig deeper you find that those people are the real experts in online trading. If you are just starting out then you need to take heed of what I have said in the previous paragraph.

Just to restate things, having a love for your product or service will make your chances of success a bit more likely. Couple this with good advertising, an interesting website, good company support etc., and you are well on your way.

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.

Now lets be clear about this. Its not hard being an Internet Marketer, and it need not take a lot of your time, but it does require you to be motivated in order to keep on keeping on as it were. To keep going when the going gets tough.

As with any business, you need to learn as much as you can about internet marketing, and where better to go than the many search engines that are available to help you in your searching.

What will you be searching for? Well, a company whose products you can feel happy about promoting, and that you can believe in and that you know will be a help to your customers. - 16069
