So, You Think You Can Be An Online Marketer...

By Tom Harvey

That is Sweet! First, lets look at your incentives and uncover the pitfalls you should be aware of: FIRST, THE INCENTIVE FACTORS:

INDEPENDENCE: Yes, you most definitely can have a greater level of independence as an internet marketer than you can have with a conventional 9-5 or 7-3 or Midnight to 7 job. We all want this, and now you can have it.

FREEDOM: Goes along with Independence. You now have the freedom to move about as you wish without the hassles of fighting the crowds, whether it is grocery shopping, clothes shopping, or going to the beach or wherever. Pick your time and just go.

COMMUTE: Can you image the extra money you will pocket by not having to take that long drive, bus ride, train ride, or whatever method of transportation you use to get to the office. You can make your way down the hall in your PJ's from you bedroom to you home office in just seconds now. We all want to do this instead of that work comute we have to make!

You want to talk about limitless, there is so much earning potential for makey fat cash on the internet that the chances are limitless. I bet you don't have that on you midnight to 7 job you got.

PERSONAL SATISFACTION: Once you start generating even a small amount of income as a direct result of your effort, you will have a great sense of satisfaction and increased sense of self worth.

Now lets examine some of the traps, pitfalls and time wasters:

DISCIPLINE: You must look at this new venture in the following way: A: you are now in your own business and you must treat it as such. B: Initially you will probably spend longer hours figuring out the whole process. Dont forget... That this is new and there are dozens of new things to learn.

You must truely realize the axion of "time is money" and use your time and computer for the money making potential that both present to you. You must therefore exercise a greater amount of discipline to the ways your time is spent.

INDEPENDENCE: So many want their independence right now. But, you independence will only come when you have done two things. First is master the net and the second is chosing the right program, product or whatever it is that is now generating you income.

FREEDOM: You wanted the freedom to come and go at will and now you have it there for you. So remember: The results that you get from your new Internet Marketing Business will be a direct result of the effort that you put into your new business. But, and this is a big BUT for every hour you spend away from the computer, you must consider making that time up at other times during the day.

TENACITY and DETERMINED MIND SET: This is where planning comes in. Be realistic: plan on a few months and maybe somewhere from 3 to 6 months before you see any tangible results. Yet, then again this is the internet and it could very easily tak off like a rocket in just a couple of short days or weeks. So keep this in mind, from the little acorn, so grows the mighty oak.

DONT GET DISCOURAGED: Just when you think that you cannot look at the computer one more time and all your efforts are producing no results, give it ONE MORE TRY. You are now at the onset of turning a corner and making the income that you have worked so hard for. - 15465
