The False Information Behind Making Money Online

By Howe Russell


One of the biggest cliche's in the home business industry is the belief that you can't make money online until you learn the hidden secret formula. You'll hear folks in every affiliate program saying this, whether it's empower network, avon or any other established company.

Like most things in life, we tend to over complicate things. The 'secret' most people are looking for is right in front of their faces.

Everywhere you look on the internet you'll see a pattern. People who are trying to become their own boss are often very confused and, as a result, they don't know where to start. To some folks, this represents a good business opportunity. This is why you'll see just as many people trying to sign you up to coaching programs as home businesses.

Rather than working as affiliates within companies, many people choose to stay independent and brand themselves as online business coaches. They offer training packages and guidance. This not only eliminates the main issue in home business for them, which is retention, it also means that they can cash in on the sheer volume of confused folks trying to build a secondary income online.

You'll undoubtedly hear folks telling you that you need to learn the latest social media techniques, combine them with the latest video marketing knowledge and cutting edge capture page creation. However, there is one simple rule when it comes to earning a living from the internet.

The real key to success is consistency.

It would be easy to spend a fortune on training courses and learn the inside and outside of social media, search engine optimization or video networking. Anybody could do that, and many people actually do. But if you are not consistent with your efforts you won't see any change in your results.

Despite every affiliate starting out in their chosen company with the exact same setup and tools as everybod else, some are able to pull themselves ahead of the pack and make the most of the opportunity. Whereas others appear to sit still. Why?

They don't put the work in for themselves. In order to succeed in any business you must first treat it like a serious opportunity. Set out a plan, get yourself a daily task list and then begin the process of building your brand. Whether you are an affiliate or a full-time self employed business owner, you need to take your routine very seriously if you are to make things work. []

It's not unusual to see individuals in any home business who are receiving a lot of recognition and attention while more skilled, naturally gifted salesmen struggle to get anywhere near the same amount of notice. This is because they are taking the time to build their own brand, consistently adding new content to their ever-growing material and establishing themselves as the top dog in their niche.

Most people do a little bit of work and then let their momentum fizzle out. You don't need to be the best at something in order to reach the pinnacle. If you're currently involved in a home based business opportunity and finding that results are hard to come by, then take a look at your current routine. Do you have one? Try setting aside 1-2 hours each day to work on building your business. After 5-6 months of this type of consistent effort you will notice a considerable difference.

Which affiliate program you work with is entirely up to you, but the primary rule remains the same. Whether you opt for an empower network, Avon or Mary Kay depends on your personal taste. However, if you truly hav the ambition to make money online you will need to be consistent in your efforts, otherwise you are simply wasting your own time.
