Why do any of us choose to work from home? The answer to that question is as diverse as individuals who call home their workplace.

For those of us who have chosen to market online, this question has many answers. But ultimately, everyone who works at home - online or off - has same goal.

To make money.

For some reason, however, those of us who choose to do it online are often perceived as being greedy.

Let me elaborate.

Over last few weeks, I've corresponded with several online colleagues who have indicated that they've actually been questioned or even criticized by individuals who feel it's somehow "unfair" for them to ask for money in exchange for their information product.

As if that was some sort of crime.

Now, I suppose that proliferation of scamsters online can indeed make people somewhat skeptical. That's reason that having a mailing list or newsletter is so important. There's no question that marketing online does have an impersonal nature to it. And, if a consumer isn't careful, he or she can be taken.

Another reason for this attitude, however, is that internet is still perceived by some as a great gift that they are entitled to. That any information they want should be handed over to them without question - and without any compensation on their part.

Chances are, it could be one or more of self-defeating reasons that we commonly hear from those who contact us seeking advice. Several of those reasons are addressed here. We intend to debunk validity of each and every one.

Reason #1 - I Can't.

Can't isn't even a word! It's a contraction of words can not. Those are two most self-defeating words in English language, or any other language that they may be translated to.

Think of it this way. In first stages of all our lives, we really could NOT do much of anything. Mother or Dad, or someone else, had to do everything for us. But all of us, as we grew, LEARNED to DO things for ourselves.

Our human ability to learn is what sets us apart from beasts of field and forest. Take advantage of that miraculous gift. After all, do you think that world's most successful people were born knowing everything they know today? Of course not!

Reason #2 - I Don't Have a Good Idea For an eProduct.

As Internet itself is in a constant state of flux and metamorphosis, so do new problems and new needs arise constantly. Therein lies a hotbed of potential for new solutions and new information to be disseminated.

Consider your own needs and problems as an Internet user. Believe it or not, there are untold numbers of other people worldwide who are experiencing same situations. I behooves you to do some research, find solutions to your own problems, and then help others to fulfill those needs.

Now, think about what specialized knowledge you already have. Practically everyone has experience and insight that others will happily pay for. Natural human curiosity motivates us all to want to know what others know, and range of topics is limitless. What you know IS worth money to many other people.

Reason #3 - I'm Not a Good Writer.

Have you ever written a letter to a friend? Do you communicate with others through email? Then you CAN write. Whether or not you think you are 'good' is not an issue here. After all, we're talking about creating an information product, not winning a Pulitzer Prize.
