Hello friends of
InternetYou are here in
Internet for a purpose, right ? You are either an Internet Surfer (for leisure, window shopping, or just browsing), or you could be an Internet Entrepreneur (looking for business opportunities to make money out of
Internet). Whichever you are, you would probably know that
Internet is a gigantic maze, with virtually infinite boundaries.
We are all here for a purpose, however hazy it may be. My purpose is to make money online, working from home. I do not call myself a guru (Oxford dictionary : an influential teacher or popular expert), although there are many self-proclaimed gurus out there. I make money and at
same time, help other people make money. No, I'm not into charity, but I am a strong believer that if you help others succeed, money will come naturally.
4 Simple Rules
If you are just starting to explore internet business, there are 4 simple rules to remember:
1.Know what you want to do. 2.Learn how to do it. 3.Sell your ideas/products or website effectively 4.Use common sense (which also means "Don't be greedy !")
There are countless get-rich-quick schemes available, some with guaranteed results, explosive income, instant rewards, and minimal efforts. Among those junk, there might be a few jewels that can achieve all of
above, but I have not seen one. Or one which can be done with dignity, pride and integrity.
One of my good friends spent countless hours searching, spent nearly $4,000 online, and has so far made a grand profit of ….. $100. His personal conclusion is that most of
online business opportunities are fake, or does not live up to its promise. This I believe is
experience of countless people hoping to generate multiple streams of income online, but faced with frustration, confusion, deception, unfulfilled promises, and many simply gave up. It has been reported that only 5% is successful in
online business industry
On
brighter side, there are many who have made it, with sheer determination, persistence, creative thinking, and integrity. These are
people I will salute. They are
rightful Internet multi-millionaires, for they do not have to resort to scams, empty promises or make money by ripping people off.
