MAKING MONEY VIA THE INTERNET!



Who wouldn’t like to make money sitting at home? It is the dream of a lot of people to be able to work at home and make money on the Internet. Is it a realistic goal or pie in the sky?

It is a good goal but it will require a steep learning curve if this is new to you. Having spent several years looking at business opportunities on the Internet and spending thousands and thousands of dollars, I can say that this is not an easy business to get into. Simple but not easy.

Some reflections:
1. A lot of scams on the Internet.
2. A lot of low end programs that lead you on and on and on, etc.
3. It’s not as easy as they make it sound.
4. There is no such thing as something for nothing.
5. There is no such thing as a completely automated program.
6. You will need to spend money to get a business going. $1,000 minimum.
7. If you come from a business background like I did, you realize that you cannot get a business started for a few hundred dollars and expect to become a millionaire.
8. Give yourself time to learn.
9. Learn from your mistakes.
10. Repeat 9 & 10 often.

We all need to start with realistic goals:
1. Learn the basics.
2. Practice the basics.
3. Goal 1: make $1 on the Internet.
4. Increase the above gradually.

More to come on Internet businesses.

Hi Jacques .. you are so right .. it appears 'easy' .. but there's a lot to learn - but that's so good for us .. as the future is the net & doing business on it - in whatever form .. so we need to know anyway.

Learning is the key .. sensibly .. I go back to trust .. per my comment of yesterday & start by earning $1 and move on .. do not rush ..

Thanks for some very sensible points
