Listen; maybe you're one of fortunate few who enjoy their job. If so, then good for you. My Father was like that. If he had lived in this day and age with his marketing talents, then who knows what he may have achieved.

The point is that it doesn't matter whether you love your job or, like vast majority of folks, hate it. Working from home in your own internet business is certainly worth some very serious thought.

And even if you do like your job where does it really get you? You work hard and get raises, maybe a promotion. Which probably results in more stress and high blood pressure. Ah, but don't forget you still get your 3 or 4 weeks annual vacation ;-) And all this time you are putting more money in your boss's pockets - a LOT more than in yours!

Of course, this lifestyle isn't for everyone. Heck, if it were, economy would collapse! It takes hard work, dedication and determination -especially in early stages when you are getting set up and established. Plus don't forget that it is a Business with a capital 'B', not just "playing on computer and surfing internet" as a lot of people think.

At end of day of course, choice is entirely yours. Do you REALLY want to carry on as you are or do you want freedom (financial and, more importantly time) that running your own business can bring?

Yes, maybe you will have setbacks and a few failures along way. But you will learn from these. And nothing will give you greater satisfaction than one day to be able to say "Look at me, I'm a successful Internet Marketer."

The only question now is how to get started on this road to financial freedom and success.

Step 3 – Analyze results.  If successful, continue campaign since it is making you money and substitute your own products when ready.

Testing Method # 3 for Products

Step 1 – Make a wholesale purchase of some of a competitors product that is good quality.

Step 2 - Promote this product through world’s largest online marketplace, eBay.

Step 3 – Analyze results.  If successful, continue campaign and substitute your own products when ready.

The lessons you learn in these tests can save you a LOT of time and heartache.  If there is little interest, you will have to adjust your business idea and marketing approach or even consider another field entirely.

If these tests ARE successful, you now know how to market your own product or service successfully.  And for you actually built your subscriber list and possibly made income while doing it.

If you would like me to work with you to test your business idea, I'd be happy to help by showing you how to set up your own test online.  If you don't have time or don't feel comfortable setting up test yourself, I can connect you with an E-Business Tutor-trained Internet Marketing Virtual Assistant who can set up test for you.

The Internet offers great ways to test your business idea and it would be foolish not to test your idea before you throw a lot of money and time at it.

And yes, I DO have a real crystal ball if you want me to use it to see if your business will be successful.
