Can We Really Make Money Online?
July 24th, 2010
It is a sure YES to that question, but……
Consider any offline business. Millions of businesses are started every year worldwide. But how many become successful? After the first year more than 60% of all newcomers have already given up, and part of them even went bankrupt. After 5 years only 15% of all starters are still in business. And only 5% make a lot of money.
It is not different on the internet. It is even more extreme, only 2% of all online entrepreneurs get really rich. And other 10% can make a rather good living AFTER A FEW YEARS OF HARD WORK.
The main reason is there are just so many people that THINK making money online is easy. That is a fable, it is NOT easy. There is no such thing as investing USD 25.00 and become rich overnight without lifting a finger. A lot of offers may give you that idea, but it is not so. In Marketing people can bend the rules a bit: they can use nice convincing words to make you believe what they say is true. If you take action (you buy) they earn money. And afterwards you mostly find the cheap products nowhere near deliver what they promised.
Now don’t understand me wrong. There is nothing against good marketing, a convincing sales letter, a company that wants to make money online. IF they deliver what they promise. Unfortunately most of the time the focus is solely on a one time sale (if you are disappointed you will not buy again from them, now would you?). The only thing left for you after the sale is an experience. You learn not to jump into offers straight after reading a sales letter, although not buying can be very difficult if the sales letter is written well. That is the purpose of the sales letter: convince people to buy the product. My best advice here is to let it rest for a day, sleep on it and look again next day. If you still want it, buy it. You can also Google for product reviews, but be careful, the reviewers often try also to convince you to buy, earning a commission if they do. Again, there is nothing against this (it is an example of affiliate marketing) if only the seller DELIVERS what he PROMISES.
Then again, there are real jewels to find that can help you to succeed in internet business. I spend a fortune in products but only a few are the real deal. In next posts I will comment on some of them and if you want you can check them out yourself and maybe buy it. If you do, then I will earn a commission. But I promise you that you will never find a comment or product review here that will not deliver on their promises.
