The Secret(s) to earning money online is basically there are none. 

I know that is going to be a shock when you view hundreds and thousands of ads each day on the net offering to sell you the secrets to online success, but the fact is there really aren't any major secrets. 

The secret is plain and simple hard work.  I never earned money as a kid sitting on the sofa watching cartoons and I didn't make money at work playing games on the computer or watching TV, AND you aren't going to make money online either if you don't work for it.

Some will tell you that you can earn big money online just by joining for free and you don't have to do anything else, because they will do the work for you.  Guess whose making the money?  They are, they lure you in because hey what's better than easy money?  Depending on the program, if they are paid solely on the number of people they get to sign up and pay to join, they don't care if you do nothing because they just made money from you and the less people that know the truth means the less competition this person has to getting more to join him/her.

You better believe the person in the above scenario is working their tail off advertising to get others to join in.

I think one of my biggest pet peeves is the tangible product programs.  I would say most of them, (don't hold me to that) don't really want you as a distributor of their product to sell the product...........they want you to bring in more distributors to bring in more distributors, and on down the line.

How does the company earn money then?  You of course.  As a distributor you must buy a specified dollar amount of their product(s) in order to qualify for your commisions.  In the mean time they are telling you to buy leads at a couple hundred dollars a pop.  When you get them, and start calling people, you will hear a lot of "I told them I'm not interested in working online anymore" or something to that effect.  Unless you are really, really a savy smooth talking salesmen, you will end up spending more money than you make. 

Then we have all these $5, $10 and $20 investment type programs.  You aren't delivering any sort of product, they will give you a website usually and sometimes a free downloadable ebook and send you on your way to market this great program that will fizzle out in a year or two.  If you are lucky you will have earned your invested money back and if luckier maybe even make a few hundred dollars.

So Whats the Point, you may be asking yourself?  The point is if you really want to be successful online, you have to find a product or service you believe in and feel comfortable introducing to other people.  Note the use of the word introduce....don't try to sell, if you are like me you really don't like being sold to. 

If you fnd a niche product or service you are comfortable with, you will be able to introduce it to others and your enthusiasm will emit to those you are talking to about the product/service.  Your inner energy will do the selling without you having to hard sell.  Stories sell, it is why you need to believe in the product or service you are marketing so you can tell others personal experience not some listed off facts that anyone can read on the label.

Marketing is really about people and relationships.  You need to build relationships which in turn give you more credibility and will increase your following.

Ok, so here is where it gets a bit tricky if you want to call it that.

You have to be willing to put your time and effort into your online marketing endeavor.  You can't give up in a week or a month and say it didn't work.  The big names at the top, had to work hard to get where the are.  They didn't start off at the top and neither will you.  You have to grow your business from the ground up. 

I can hear you saying I don't have time for this.  Yes you do, if you really want it.  Even if you put forth an hour a day effort consistently on your business, you will slowly start to see headway.  Now you need to be realistic here, if you are working a job full time outside of home, you are not going to have as much time as a stay at home mom so of course their business may boom before yours, its almost a given.

You have to decide if marketing is for you.  If it is great, then you are ready to begin. 

If you wonder what I do, contact me.  All I will say is I am doing this on a no out of pocket cost budget and you can too.

Until next time.  To Your Success
