If you have a home computer or PC, surely you have heard of Internet or perhaps you are using it everyday. But do you know that you can use the Internet to set up a small home business and make some money? It is often known as Internet Marketing or promoting and selling products on the Internet. There a ton and ton of products you can promote and sell on the Internet; from Info-products such as ebooks, software application, training courses, training videos, etc.
Besides Info based products like the abovementioned... you can also promote and sell day-to-day consumer's products such as digital cameras, personal computers, clothing, baby gear, musical instruments, art supplies, DVD & Movies, etc... the list goes on.
How do you actually earn money promoting and selling products on the Internet.
Well, the answer is through Affiliate Marketing. It is the most simplest yet powerful business model. You don't need to create your own product in affiliate marketing; what you do is to sign up as an affiliate to promote other people's products. When you make a sale, the product owner will split the profit with you - meaning you will get commissions from selling other people's products.
Internet or Affiliate Marketing is a great way to make money online. In fact, many people have made millions and achieve financial freedom through Internet or Affiliate Marketing business and you can too.
However, not everybody is cut for doing this business because there are some challenges and roadblocks along the path to success. So, before you get started... make sure you ask yourself this question: "Is Internet Marketing for you? Are you willing to sit down and learn new things and then apply what you have learned? Are you willing to face the challenges and some difficulties?
If you can't answer the abovementioned questions with conviction, then I think it's better for you not to start an Internet Marketing business because chances are that you will fail. I am not trying to scare you but this is the FACT. To succeed in Internet Marketing, you need to be willing to learn new things, work hard and willing to take up some challenges along the way.
Some of the most common reasons why most people FAIL in Internet or Affiliate Marketing are:
Lack of focus and self belief. They don't believe that they can succeed online hence they easily give up when problems come out. Also, in Internet Marketing, there are a lot of scams and products that will promise to make you rich overnight! Many people think that they can truly get rich overnight and try to find the magic pill.
But let me just tell you the truth... there is no magic pill and there is no such thing as getting rich overnight; it simply does not EXIST! So don't get fooled by those products that promise to make you a millionaire overnight.
Another reason why people fail in internet marketing is that people have the wrong mindset. They think that they don't have to work hard to make money online, they thought that they could just slap up a website and then go lying down on the beach while money will flow into their bank accounts. Well, let me say that this will NEVER happen!
Setting up a website is just one small part to success in internet marketing. After that you must work hard to promote your website so that it gets a lot of visitors. You must then convert those visitors into buyers. What I am trying to say is that there is work involved to succeed online. Basically, you must work hard initially, once your website is popular, you will then start making sales - yes, even if you are sleeping your website can make sales for you. But this won't happen until you actively promote your website for some time.
If Internet Marketing is for you then you need to be able to motivate yourself. You need to get a lot of work done and there won't be anyone (such as a boss) making sure you get everything done. You have to be able to motivate yourself and ignore all the potential distractions in your home. Yes, working from your home and being your own boss are 2 great benefits of Internet Marketing. However, they can also be major drawbacks. You need to be able to put the distractions aside and you need to be able to work hard if you really want to succeed.
So in conclusion, although internet and affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online, you need to ask yourself whether you are willing to work hard to achieve the success you want? Are you a self-motivated person? Can you persevere despite difficulties? In short, you must have the right mindset first before you jump into internet marketing if you want to see success.
