I've been making money online for over 10 years now. I live in a pretty small town, and the people I see weekly or daily eventually get curious about what I do. I was introduced yesterday to a woman, and we were trying to figure out how we recognized each other. She asked me where I worked, my friend introducing us said "She doesn't!"
This made all of us laugh, but I guess it seems like I don't work. I go for coffee when I want. I follow my bliss - crafting, hobbies, hanging out with my kids. I'm available to visit during the day, and I'm always home at night. Having the ability to make money online gives me all these freedoms. And starting a business is something that anyone can do.
You need to put all the components of the business plan together. First, you need to find your "vehicle" - The thing you're going to DO online, and learn everything you can about it. See testimonials for that type of business, and it's products. Do the research.
Part of the business planning process is for you to do the math on the business - what you need in income to make it worth your while, and how fast it is going to pay off. Also consider how much time per week you have to dedicate to it, in order to get it up and running.
Make a plan, and follow through. Stick to it, and commit to it! Part of your plan should be how you are going to check up on your business - do the book keeping, and deciding your break even and profit goals.
I think for me, it was very important to have a support team. People who've already done it, proven they can do it, and are earning a real, provable income . People who are happy and willing to help you grow your business, and have your best interest at heart are an integral part of your business support team. It's good to have someone to ask all the questions, who are there anytime. For my business partners, I've also become part of their support team - a very nice way to pay it forward!
Something that I need to have my business do is break even in the same month I start it. I know it sounds like an impossible dream, but when you work online, it's easy to do. Very little overhead! The business I show people when they want to know how to make money online, will break even and even earn in the same month you start. It has a beautiful and compelling personalized website for you (and a free one for your customers, who will in turn seek out more customers for you.) The product is VERY good and very easy to sell, and has a nice big profit point on it for you. There are 8 different ways to earn with this business!
How to make money online has been this easy for me, and when I'm sitting in a coffee shop on Monday when others have to go to work to jobs they hate, or are just tired of, I'm happy to show them how they can earn and sit with me during the week and sip coffee too!
