Making Money Online - Truth or Myth?

Having been inspired by recent articles posted on one particular site, I have recently embarked on a new part time internet business.

I was GIVEN FREE all the tools I needed to get started;

New web site

Training Course

Members Support Forum

Free registration to various affiliate organisations.

My initial costs were my domain name and web hosting.(minimal cost for both)

What wasn't made clear at the outset before registering for a domain and hosting, was that further costs are likely to be incurred.

These additional costs were primarily tools to build your list of subscribers and were obvious essentials.

However, when following the training programme, certain recommendations were made to upgrade certain aspects of these at further cost. Which as it turned out would have been better left until later in the programme when generating an income.

It is very easy to be drawn in by a lot of promises of wealth etc. and your instinct is to follow the programme. This is where you can go wrong if you are running on a tight budget and lose a lot of money. It is far better to once registered, visit the members forum. Here you can get invaluable help on which parts to upgrade and how to promote your site to get visitors to it. Then and only then, consider ways of enhancing your site and subscribing to other more costly affiliate programmes.

In summary, the idea of making money on the internet is not new and YES it can be done. There are plenty of testimonials in the members forum to support that. But you must:-

Set a Budget and stick to it. (I've capped mine at $500)

Concentrate on building your list. There is no point in having the best web site in the world, if you don't have visitors to it.

Talk to and listen to other members experiences.

Do not expect overnight success. You will probably need to spend 1 to 2 hours daily promoting your site in one way or another for a few weeks or even months.

Remain focussed.

I am now starting to see financial rewards, but still have a long way to go before I can say I have made it.

I hope this information gives you food for thought before embarking on a similar path.

Good luck in any venture you may take.

The Making Money Obsession - Discover The Real Truth

In most societies, we are raised to believe in the myth that "it's spiritual to be poor". Or we use such phrases as "filthy rich", or "Money is the root of all evil". Our TV and movies present the big businesses as the "bad guys", and programs our minds to believe that being rich is "bad".

So when I was asked that disturbing question: "Why are you obsessed with money?" I asked myself: "What am I really obsessed about? What are we all obsessed about?" So I remembered...

I remembered I was working for this Hi-Tech company, ten to twelve hours a day. Even though the pay was good, it has exhausted me mentally and physically. I remembered that my cause was to have real control over my own time, to spend it with my beloved ones, on the things that really matters, instead of working hard all of my life. And...

I remembered that I love sports cars (just to mention it my eyes are glowing right now!) and I wanted to have that car that I adore (Oh yes, it's the 911 Porsche!). I remembered that I wanted to travel the world, and simply have fun...

I understood that my goal was NOT to get stuck in the rat race, working hard all of my life, and living the illusion of having what some people call a "normal" life. I know some might say: "Well, that's how life is". No, I resent that, you live the life that YOU desire to have, I know it's easier just to "follow the crowd", but eventually, it is YOUR life, and you should reach an internal peace, rather than wondering how the outside world will look at you.

So I remembered that it wasn't simply just "making money", those invaluable causes were driving me to become wealthy, this is why I started investing and educating myself, I bought so many books, whether about wealth or how to get rich books, stock market, real estate, and self help books. That's why I bought so many tapes and home courses. That's why I started looking for a real online business opportunity, which was my first step towards financial freedom. That's why I am a member in an association of home business entrepreneurs.

Of course, these all cost (small) money. So what?! People are spending lots of money on their cable TV, on their trips, and you name it... Well, I rather spend it on my dreams, and my best investment is in educating myself. Those books that I bought have opened my eyes, showed me that there's another way, an easier way, and I received invaluable insights that turned my life around.

So people say money is not the most important thing in their lives, the irony is, they are willing to work hard most of their lives for... MONEY! Where YOU and I (if you are reading so far then I know you share my feelings!) are not willing to work so hard for it. We want to make enough money, so we would NOT have to work for money all of our lives.

Keep those greater causes in your mind. Those genuine causes will drive you towards your sincere goals in front of those objections. And yes, it is OK to have a dream; life is not worth living without one.
