It's Not EasyWritten by Jude Wright
I bet you've seen all ads saying, "Earn $1,000,000 while you sleep" or other words to that effect. Don't you believe it!I was a Newbie on Net. What do you think *I* did when I started seeing these ads? You guessed it! I tried every one that caught my eye. In other words *all* of them! Talk about frustration! Just about time I'd start drooling over one of these "get rich quick" programs, another that I'd tried week (or month) before, came back to bite me on my assets. Yes, I lost money. I believed every ad that promised, "Pay me $25 and I'll show you how to market." "Pay me $20 for submission software." "Pay me..." Well, I could go on, but I don't feel like crying in my beer right now. Good thing I *don't* drink or my poor family would've never seen me again! So how *do* you get all that money out there? You WORK! And work HARD! You advertise. And you advertise. And you advertise. Did I say, "You advertise?" Enough already...you get picture. But *where* do you advertise? I tried FFAs with nary a bite! And Free Classifieds? Another big zero. Then there were free ezine ads. Well, I did get a couple "bites" but no sales.

This article isn't written with "dot-com" millionaires or internet marketing gurus in mind. It is instead written for average person who has a desire to start and operate their own small internet business. Those looking to explore exciting possibilities that exist in this online entrepreneurial frontier called world wide web. Those people whose lives can still be changed substantially by an extra one or two thousand dollars a month. Why do I exclude big money gurus? The answer is simple and it is this, "You have to make a buck before you can make a million," and it's that mind set that will keep you in game. I'm sure we all know someone (or will before long) who took a run at starting an internet business, built a great website, submitted it to search engines, advertised in classifieds and FFA pages, bought some banner impressions and "surprise" DIDN'T make a million dollars. Disappointment and soon apathy stepped in and shut down motivation and website quicker than you can say out of business buddy. Too bad, another casualty who heard and believed that millions of new people in a buying frenzy were coming online daily to make them next overnight millionaire. Don't get me wrong. Good Product + Good Work Ethic + Tenacity = Success. Throw in a little duplication (which we'll save for another article) and you can succeed beyond your wildest dreams. It does happen and I sincerely hope it will happen very quickly for you. But if it shouldn't, I'm here to tell you, Work At Home Moms, College Students, Retirees, Small Business People, whoever you are and for whatever reason you need or want
