The question “is it hard to make money online?” is one that many people ask on a regular basis. Unfortunately the answer really depends on who you ask!
If you ask many so called internet marketing gurus out there on the web, they will tell you that making money online is easy! Just follow this strategy or that strategy and you are good to go.
Then the next guru comes along saying the same thing and off you go again.
This ‘affliction’ actually has a name!
It is called Shiny Object Syndrome! We know because it took us years to rid ourselves of the disease.
Right now we are going to tell you something that the vast majority of online marketers will not. You have been lied to for years.
You get sold the laptop lifestyle over and over again. What’s worse is that it is sold to you in a way that makes out that it is simple.
Let us tell you – it is NOT!
And if you think about it rationally, that is correct. If it was so simple, then everyone would be millionaires!
Making money online is VERY possible but it takes a blend of these things:
- Hard work
- Determination
- Never say die attitude
- Patience
- Dedication
- Unwavering faith – the right mindset
We could go on!
Once you ditch the idea that it is simple you are good to go. By instilling the above traits in you, you will be well on your way to success online
If you were to ask any successful entrepreneur on the planet, the vast majority would tell you this one thing.
To achieve success you need a mentor. Someone to guide you through the minefield that is online marketing. Somebody to make you accountable. Furthermore, it is important to have a person on your side that has already traveled the path you are on. And the most important aspect is having someone to go to when you need help. Which you definitely will by the way.
Now, if you are still reading this post, I know that you have the right level of determination to grow an online income and become successful.
It saddens us that less than 20% of people that buy into any make money onlineproduct, ever do anything with it! It is such a shame wouldn’t you agree?
Malcolm X once said “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today”.
He was so right. The online education industry is booming. Here is an interesting snippet from a report on Reuters.com :
According to Statistics MRC, the Global E-Learning Market is accounted for $165.21 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach $275.10 billion by 2022 growing at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 7.5% during the forecast period. The key factors that are favoring the market growth are flexibility in learning, low cost, easy accessibility, increased effectiveness by animated learning. Moreover, escalation in number of internet users and growing access of broadband pooled with mobile phones with online capabilities are also fueling the market growth
So, now do you see why it is so important to get into the make money online niche and actually DO IT?
So, Is It Hard to Make Money Online
Yes it is difficult to be successful online, but ONLY if you don’t take action and keep on taking action.
About Jonathan Lake
We live in the UK in the town of Torquay, Devon which is part of the stunning English Riviera, so called because of its unusually warm and healthy climate compared to the vast majority of Britain! We actually have palm trees that grow here! We have a great desire to help others create the kind of lifestyle that we enjoy – no boss, no commute, time freedom, creating financial freedom which gives so many choices in life. We are an advert for all of you that might be asking yourself “can i do this?” Believe me, when I (Jon) started online in August 2008, I had just been laid off and did not know what to do. I could just about send an email and surf the net!! Now, fast forward to today, and I co-own an online business that makes us money each and every month and is growing exponentially. My beautiful wife Debbie was also laid off from her corporate job a year after me in 2009 and she too decided that being the master of her own destiny was the way to go! We absolutely love the freedom that having an online business gives you. Being there for your kids, (we have 4!) both doing the school run and being there for ALL their school plays, open days, appointments etc is priceless. Having both been laid off, we realised that we did not want to rely on someone else designing our future, so we took the steps to create our own! “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” —Thomas Edison Believe me when I say we have tried a whole heap of things along our online journey to get to where we are. We have tried online franchises, we ran a successful ecommerce business in the holistic wellness arena for several years, affiliate marketing, local business marketing (we still have a few clients who we help with their online marketing) and much more. Hobbies and Interests We both love anything to do with holistic healing – we are both Reiki attuned and believe greatly that many ailments are caused by the mind and are preventable. We also have 4 kids ranging from 11 to 25, 3 of whom live at home, so they keep us busy – bet you can relate to Dads taxi!! Debbie loves to make jewellery and I love football (I have supported Bristol City FC since I was a boy). I also love nice cars and am working towards owning an Aston Martin at some point soon. We also have 3 big dogs which take up some of our time – Honey is our Golden Retriever and Miley and Bear are 2 naughty Newfoundlands. One of our ambitions is to work with charities in impoverished countries enabling them to have clean water and education. We will definitely be involving the kids as we feel this is a great life lesson for them. So, How Can We Help You? As you can see, we have a wealth of experience online and have been in the trenches so to speak for a long time finding out what works and what doesn’t – so you don’t have to! Some of you may be completely new to wanting to start an online business, others may have tried it before and failed and some of you may be already running an online business, but it just isn’t giving you the life you had dreamed of. Which one are you? We strongly believe that we can guide you in the right direction and would be honoured to help you on your journey to financial freedom. We feel confident that we can share our ideas, thoughts and strategies with you, so lets get communicating. Please feel free to get in touch and tell us where you are on your own online business journey or if you have unanswered questions, we will do our best to give you an answer.
