In making online many people jump right in before they are properly ready. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a school teacher, a surveyor, an office worker, a lawyer there is study and exams to do , things you must learn, before becoming successful, you don't just jump right in unprepared
The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who'd have you believe it's a "Walk in the Park" and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.
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.
Nearly all people will not make a brass razoo online and yet there are others who will make more in one day than most people make in a whole month. Why is this?
My answer to this begins with the age-old question which is the chicken or egg question, "what comes first the chicken or the egg"? Each argument you or I make comes back to the same old answer - I have no idea and I don't think many of us do either
There's one thing I do have a idea about and know for real is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the service and/or company products of any Internet business from which you put your hope on to make a lot of money.
Passion in this sense basically means that you've researched the company and and like the products or services it provides. It is then that you translate that Passion and like into the education, excitement and work that usually accompanies Passion.
I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I'm concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.
Now, I'm not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join - but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.
It follows that, if you don't have a Passion for the company and the services and products that are provided by the company, you won't try to do the work you are asked to learn.
Internet marketing work is generally not all that difficult or takes a lot of time but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you up and running with a concerted effort so that you won't fall.
You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!
When you do your research you should uncover a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have Passion. If you don't find it move on, you will I'm sure find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above. It just takes a bit of time and patience.
Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I'll start that business - does not sound like a decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an Internet "guru" does that, don't be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate about the company products and services.
Note: By the way it's your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.
Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you can't first find that right company with products and services that you can be passionate about, then all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of trouble instead of bringing you a great result.
Not being Passionate about a company and products and services that has market proof that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.
