3 Types of People Looking to Make Money OnlinePosted on 01/11/2008
Before you can ever hope to become successful in the world of online business, you have to come to an understanding of who you are, and what it takes to be successful here. This is not a place for everyone. You must have the focus, drive, and dedication to make a schedule and work a plan. If any of these factors are missing, you will fall in your attempts at online success. Making money from home is a real job, just like the one you have now, and it takes real effort. If someone or some site is telling you to put in on autopilot and watch the money roll in...RUN...it's a scam. Those of us who are succeeding at making money online are here every day. In the beginning, we made huge sacrifices, and the hours were longer than any we worked in the real world. Make no mistake, there is awesome money online, but you will work for it just as hard here as you do out there for awhile. Does it get easier? Yes it does. Will you make really good money online? Yes you can. Did you notice I did not say "will?" I have no control over your desires, drive, or determination. There are three types of people I have come across on here. They are broken down below. Read more to find where you fit, then you can gain an understanding of what you need to do in order to make money online.
"Do it Till it Works"
These are the people making money online. They do not quit, they never stop learning, and you cannot get them to slow down. They have their notebooks full and their minds even fuller. They are burning up the search engines with every question that pops into their minds, and they find the answers they need no matter how long it takes them. They also know when to stop. Once they have found the niche or market type that fits them, they stand. You will find these types of people posting huge amounts of questions and comments in a few choice forums because they have found their nest. This is the place where they can learn. They have found the mentor they feel confident to follow. They have their own websites and they are making a good name for themselves. These people are in it for the long haul. Fast money and get rich quick schemes do not move "The Doers." They can smell them a mile away. They laugh at the concepts and chuckle when they fall off the page ranks, because they know that those people are a dime a dozen. In our world these fly by nights are known as cheap entertainment.
"Want to Go but Move Real Slow"
These precious turtles are the ones who believe that they can come out of a successful career in the world, slap all their knowledge on a website, and watch it soar. They have spent years before a captive audience in a conference room listening to their speeches and buying their products. The one thing they have not considered is that most people spend less than 15 seconds on any given website thousands of times a day. Website shoppers are well trained. They know a junk store when they see one. People are looking for genuine sincerity in websites. They are sick of in your face, buy it now scams. All shoppers need to feel wanted. They also deserve the same customer service on here as in the real world, so they have to know they will get it from your site. Think about where you go in today's retail market. What is more appealing to you? Do you prefer the cozy shops that have the aromatic smell in the air and a warm smile waiting for you at the door, or would you rather spend ten minutes finding a kid in a smock that points you in a wayward direction when you ask him where the candles are? The same is true for internet shoppers. We want good directions. We want to know you are there to answer our questions. We need to believe that are time is well spent in your shop.
With a little help and encouragement, these marketers will master their game. They just need to realize that they need a little guidance from those who have been here awhile. Once they find their niche and their mentor, they too will soar.
"We Don't Have a Clue but We Want it Too"
How many of you actually fit right here? I know I did when I got started. The first thing I want you to know is that you can move out of this class very quicky. I must admit that this is where I was a few months ago. I know how to do eBay, and I am making good money there, but I wanted more. I have been in management in my career for many years, but I had never brought it to the web, so I need to learn. I had an idea, but I needed a plan. I own drive and determination. If you ever have the opportunity to talk with me, you will know this fact is true in less than ten minutes. I made up my mind that you are never too old and it's never too late to make a change in life. I want the freedom to spend time with my boys. I want to travel with my husband when they are grown. I want to be my own boss and create my own income potential. I am tired of living paycheck to paycheck, so I made a change.
- I sat down and made a list of what I wanted to do online.
- I put in order the amount of time I could spend on this project, when I expected to have my plan working, and how much money I wanted to make by a certain date.
- I sat down with my family and shared this information. It is important that everyone understands your decisions, and that they realize the sacrifices will bring future rewards.
- We implemented our plan to go from just doing eBay to building a website that could help everyone else learn too. Now we average $100 a day in our Pay pal account helping others learn how to do the same. What a great change of pace. I know have the freedom to keep climbing from here, and noone is spending their hard earned money to finance a fluke. You will see that by following my step by step plan, you will make more money than you need to spend and never take one dime out of your family's budget!
One of my sons said that I needed to use my writing skills to create articles. My oldest son said not to forget that I can help people learn how to take care of minor illnesses at home like we do since I am a nurse. My favorite hobby is genealogy, and my husband says I need to link that in too.
As you can see, there is plenty of room for growth, and I am now making money from home doing the things I love the most. With a workable plan, a dedicated schedule, family support, and good leadership, anyone can make money online.
