Make Money Online - Could You?

Every day millions of people make billions from the biggest cash machine in the history of mankind- The Internet.
And every day millions more ask themselves, "Could I also cash in and earn thousands?"
There is the short answer and the long answer.
The short answer is: Of course you could! (You knew that already.)
Now for the long answer: Yes, you definitely can! But there is a catch, it takes work.
The opportunity is there, the potential, the ability to turn pennies into dimes, dimes into dollars and dollars into millions.
Why doesn't everyone succeed?

1. Many have the mistaken assumption that they can get something for nothing. That's the fallacy of the get rich quick schemes. So many people lose money to so called business opportunities that claim that all you need to do is hand over a couple of hundreds of dollars and you'll instantly find yourself in a proven turn key business.
2. Procrastination. This one is a biggie. You have plans, you know exactly how you're going to make money but you don't have a when. There is a class of people called "seminar junkies." They go to every motivational seminar, read every self help book and listen to hundreds of inspiring CDs. And they're still at the same place year after year. Same job, same income, same home.
3. Lack of Focus. There are so many opportunities and you have so many ideas that you get lost. You have a new idea and a new way to make money every day. You jump from one money making idea to another. Anyone who succeeded in business can tell you of the necessity of being focused.

How you can succeed:

1. Ask yourself why you want to make money from the internet. Define the reason very clearly. This is important. This will motivate you. If you don't have a strong why you won't be ready to kill yourself for it.
2. Be ready to work. Realize that there will be a learning curve. Be ready to educate yourself so that you can work.
3. Decide today that you will take action. Name a time limit for when you plan to have your online business up and running. Write it down!
4. Investigate different opportunities that are interesting to you. Check them out thoroughly. Decide what your best bet is and hold on to it! Pick one thing. Stick to it. Commit yourself to not changing your basic plan for at least two years. Don't stop working on it just because now you came across a better money making idea. Know that the one that you stick to will be the one that works. Don't fail because you aren't persistent enough and can't see your plans through. Promise yourself that this time you will do it!
