Why? Because I was inspired!

And for no other reason whatsoever at all!

Until...

That fateful day arrived when suddenly it hit me.

WHAP!!!

"Here's your stinkin' milk. And you can thank state for food stamps, too."

Hmmm. Could something be wrong here? Could something not quite be going according to plan?

Wait, wait, I think I've got it.

I'M NOT MAKING ANY MONEY!!!

But.. But.. I'm inspired! What more is there to do?!

"Ah-ha," I said.

I've got inspiration, true, but why am I following around all these other inspired idiots instead of real marketers that are actually making money!

I had bought into excitement instead of truth. I sought rewards before I created system. I had joined countless masses instead of looking to counting -- money that is -- few that had inspired them!

Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh....

"Why are you smacking yourself on head?" I was suddenly asked.

"Go back to sleep, dear. It's just an Internet thing."

Well, ok, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but there is a point to all of this. There are many, and I do mean many, who want to earn a living selling information on how to market online.

That's great, but don't you think we should get our information, and inspiration, from those that actually HAVE sold things online?

I really wasn't all that stupid when I first got online, it's just that there is SO much out there to be confused about. That is, IF you let yourself.

While Internet is mind boggling because of numbers it can produce, common sense still abounds. Maybe not in it's inspired idiots, but definitely in it's actual workings.

Things happen faster, but many of basic rules are still same.

*People only pay for what they perceive to be beneficial. *Only those selling beneficial products will make money. *Trust and confidence still play an important role in buyer's minds. *If no one knows who you are, where you are, or what you selling, you won't have any customers!

Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh....

Take it from a recovering inspired idiot. Please, be careful who you learn from.

3. WORK HARD If you think that working for yourself means you won?t have to work as hard or as long, think again. Most likely it will mean more of both. It isn?t possible to earn full monthly income working 10-15 hours per week. Home business requires a lot of self-motivation and self-discipline. Your success depends only on your willingness to work. There is no boss to wave a carrot under your nose to get you moving. You must be able to motivate yourself to do what needs to be done and that includes stuff you don?t particularly enjoy doing.

4. KEEP STUDYNG If you want to be successful, seek more knowledge. This is a rule for every part of life and it is no different in Internet Marketing world. There are some great sources of knowledge floating around. With a little time and effort, you can get a lot of useful information. The more knowledge you acquire, more successful you will be.

I hope these tips will help you in your online business!!!
