Where is your head, your heart, and your expectations when it comes to trying to make money online? Are you one of the millions who are willing to believe almost anything, or are you someone who is willing to go the long way to achieve your goals?
Okay, that may not be the case for you online, but more often than not (and if not, hats off to you) the reality is that the overnight feeling the online guru wants you to believe is false.
Look at this. It’s just part of an email I received this morning from a well-known internet marketer (a guy who makes a lot of money):
He wrote:
================================
PS It took me a total of
7 years and $91,587.13 to obtain
the same ‘ticket’ that you now have
in your hands.
================================
And from the sales letter web page, right at the top, it says:
================================
Just 7 years ago, I was right
there in your shoes
I had spent over $25,000 of my
college funds in internet marketing
‘stuff’, and had absolutely
nothing to show except
to $34.95 check.

This is NOT an advertisement or an endorsement for your product, the purpose is to show you that Rome was not, and still is not, built in a day. Or even a week. Or a month. Or sometimes a single year.
7 years: An investment in time, money, creativity, money, time, money, research, education, networking, time, money.
You are now in position. Now he will be the one who earns a lot of money. Yeah, the idea he’s selling is that by buying yours, you too can hit the coattails of his.
But you will?
Maybe.
The point of this article is not that a fool is born every minute; instead, it’s to reinforce the concept that to make money online, to “make it big,” you must also be willing to invest the time and money it takes to achieve similar success.
Will it come from buying something from someone else? Maybe. But you have to keep in mind that he developed his own, and as long as he shares it with you, he is going to earn a lot of money.
Do your own thing, and then once you’re established with web advertising and search engine recognition, look into other people’s products to complement what yours has to offer.
A good friend of mine recently told me that her internet marketing professor says that if you’re not willing to put in the effort online for at least a year, while building the potential of your website, then you don’t belong on the net (or your class). ). Yes, a completely unknown outside source validating what we should all know to be true.
Patience, education, time, money, creativity, drive, determination, motivation and a strong desire to succeed.
Is your sense of time frame and VR money-making capabilities a little skewed?
