You Can't Make Money Online

By Howe Russell

So many people try to make money online these days yet it's interesting to know that most of them fail. Today we shall look at the main reasons people fail to build an income via the internet and help you to avoid them if you're about to embark on the same journey.

You're about to discover why.

When people think about being able to make a living online, on of two stereotypes spring to mind. You'll either be looking for the idealistic, 'too easy' lifestyle of an internet guru sitting on a sunny beach and seemingly making money for doing nothing, or you'll be attracted to the thought of starting a business from scratch and working to turn it into a popular brand from the ground level up.

The first mistake is that the majority of people are far more drawn to the first concept than the second.

Even worse is the fact that the first vision represents a fictitious scenario. There is no easy way to become your own boss. The main reason so many people fail in the home based business industry is because they lack the simple drive to push themselves hard to create a long lasting source of income for themselves. They want that easy solution.

Once you fall into that mentality you will become another failure statistic of the internet generation. There are more than enough people out there who are prepared to tell you time and time again that you must join their latest must have system or automatic income generating program to answer all of your family's financial woes. If you keep falling for it, they will keep on doing it to you.

If you are genuinely serious about working for yourself you need to step up and take responsibility for your actions. If you do not, you'll constantly be looking for easy solutions to your problems and listening to people giving you 'advice' which is little more than a sales pitch. Set out your goals, stick to them and do something every day to move closer to achieving them. []

That's the part where most internet marketers fall flat on their face. They want the long-term end result but don't want to do the long-term work. There is no instant solution to success. Sometimes just realizing that fact will make it far easier for you to get there, because you will stop falling for all of the nonsense out there in the online world.

If you harbor dreams of being an affiliate for an online business like Global Domains International or Empower Network you'll generally face the same issues as someone looking to set up a business from scratch in the real world, so keep your wits about you and you will get there in the end. Ultimately, it is about determination.

Should you be trying to make money online right now and perhaps not be getting anywhere, you may want to ask yourself if you are following the steps in today's post. Do you have your goals set in place? Have you given them serious thought? Are they actually realistic? Most importantly, are you doing something each day to reach your destination or simply waiting for it to happen by itself? be honest, it's the only way you'll ever get results online or offline.
