How to Guarantee
Your Online Success.

During
the California Gold Rush of 1849 dreams of easy riches
were on the minds of many. Stories of gold spread like
wild fire... each time the story became more unreal.
"Why gold is everywhere", they said. "It's
for the taking... all you have to do is just reach down
and pick it up." Of course these stories were untrue.
Many
come to the Internet with these same dreams of easy
money. They spend their savings on get-rich-quick schemes
and wind up with nothing but a worthless website. Many
like the thought of easy money... no work required...
no experience needed. But unless you have all ready
created a successful business... creating an online
business in just a few months is just a fantasy.
Ask
yourself : "Why do I want an Internet business?"
If
your answer is "to make a bunch of money"
you'll fall prey to the get-rich-quick scammers. You'll
look for the easy way to make money. You'll buy into
the "Make $5,000/mo in 60 days... guaranteed!"
trap. But their business is just like their guarantee...
smoke in the wind... gone the minute they have your
money.
Now,
if you desire to have a successful online business to
someday replace your present income... that's possible.
I've
been fascinated with Sales most of my life. Because
in sales you determine your own paycheck. You're in
charge of how much you earn. The Internet offers this
very same opportunity.
So...
I'm online learning all I can about marketing on the
Internet. I search for excellent products about Internet
sales. I buy these Ebooks and instruction manuals...
I study them extensively. I make notes on how to apply
the technique to my website and to my online marketing.
If
these products have an Affiliate program... I join it.
If the product offer resell rights... I buy them. I
even recommend Ebooks I make no money on because...
they are so good.
My
website theme is "You can create wealth from home".
I use this theme because I believe the only way for
the average person to create true wealth... is with
a home business. You won't do it working for someone
else. But... most people give up during the learning
process. They give up much too
soon.
There
is a rule that have been around the business community
for many, many years... it's called the 90/10 rule.
This rule, based on facts, simply states that 90% of
the business start-ups will fail within the first year.
And only 10% will survive for more than five years.
This same rule of
business comes into play online too.
Ninety
percent of the online businesses will fail. They fail
because the owners are unwilling to learn how to do
it right. They are out for that quick and easy money.
When they can't find it within 90 days they give up
and whine... "the Internet is just a big rip-off...
you can't make money from home."
This,
of course, spreads quickly because 90% of the people
are spreading this mis-information.
Meanwhile...
the successful 10% of the online business owners, who
are making money, have discovered how to do it right.
They were willing to spend the time and money to learn
how. Yes, it may have taken them one to three years
to learn the ropes, but now they write their own pay
checks.
Many
people will complain about these odds, but you either
win or don't. If you follow the herd... the 90%... your
chance of failing is 100 percent. If you follow the
successful 10%... your chance of winning is again...
100 percent.
I
love these odds... don't you? Just think... if you follow
the successful 10 percent... your success is guaranteed.
Who
are you following?
