Ninety-five percent fail. Given those simple statistics, it seems to me that one of
first things we need to do is understand nature of Internet business…combined with a frank appraisal of our own nature.
Read advertising, hype, and it seems anyone can make money on Internet while they sleep, or sitting at keyboard in their pajamas.
It's true. You can make lots of money while you sleep. And, should you choose to do so, you can work in your pajamas.
But what hype artists don't tell us is that success takes hard work, discipline and determination. There is no free lunch, not even on Internet, and if you fall for hype, it will cost money for zero return (if you are lucky). Why do hypesters spend their money and effort to deliver their hype? Look down page. There's an 'Order Now' button. It's money, your money. The hypester can now earn your money while he sleeps.
Hard work at start
Understand this: any business, on or off Internet, requires hard work to get it started. It may eventually run on autopilot, but in beginning, it will take hard work, time, and determination.
Are you ready for that? Because, if not, save time and stop reading this now. You will be one of 95% who fail.
No one can simply put up a website (or have one provided by a company) and expect others to find it. Early in 2005, there were 56,100,000 commercial websites on Internet. Even a website in top 1% was just one out of 561,000. My point is this: what chance does your website have of being found if it languishes there without any promotion?
Suppose your website was even in top one-tenth of a percent, one of 56,100 websites. How difficult is it to find? Think of it this way: suppose you are at an outdoor event with 56,099 other people and a friend wants to find you without knowing where you are in milling crowd. Do you think it would be easy, even though your friend knows what you look like?
A waste of space
Now substitute a stranger for your friend, a stranger who has never seen your face. Impossible? Not if stranger put an announcement over public address system.
