Copyright (c) 2011 Lawrence HamiltonProbably the number one reason people fail to make money online is because they give up too soon. But if that fact is true, why do so many people throw up their hands and give up? It's usually because most of us receive those "opportunity" E-Mails about how easy it is to make money on line and hear so much hype about these "set it and forget it" sites that we end up think making money online is relatively easy. "Just spend two hours a day", and you'll be rich. When expectations like these are set, most people just give up when they fail to see that money rolling in. After all, they spent their own hard earned money on this "miracle" opportunity, and it just failed to work. Coupled with that is the fact that a multitude of people just keep spending money on the "next great opportunity" that comes forward only to find that it, too, was not the answer they were seeking. None of us can afford to spend money looking for that "pie in the sky" model we all keep seeing. We do this to the point of over spending or putting more than we can afford on our credit card(s), and it is no wonder we give up; we are just exasperated about the whole dynamics of making money with an at home business. The Facts Are These: You have to learn the intricacies of monetizing and getting traffic to a website before you can earn money. You must put yourself into a mindset that it will take you 40, 60, 80, 100 hours or more to learn how to control your destiny on with Affiliate Marketing. It is one thing to throw up a website, but how are you going to monetize that site so you have residual income created from the market or niche you have chosen? How are you going to get traffic to your website and make people aware your site even exists? If you don't dedicate yourself to learning all the essential aspects of creating your own business online, then you may also fail because you did not set your standards, goal, and expectations to the level it requires for you to be successful. You did not put together a workable plan. I am not trying to scare you, and I am not going to tell you how many hours I have put in, but I am trying to make you focus on the reality of creating a viable business. So how do you learn to become successful with Affiliate Marketing? You cannot keep hoping you will actually find that "can't miss" opportunity, because these people are there only to sell to you and not support you. They do not have your best interests at heart, and they will not take the time to inform you how any system actually works to your benefit. You have to become part of an organization that not only teaches you the finer aspects of internet marketing but coaches, supports, and continues to train you. You have to believe in the people that are behind the scenes trying to make you successful in your personal endeavor. You have to develop relationships where you know you are getting quality information so you can build your skills in this new cyber world. You need to have your questions answered. If you want to find success in the truest form concerning an on line business, you will have to find the website designed to help you at whatever level of skill and knowledge you currently possess. I encourage you to find that site so you can make the dreams and goals you have come to fruition.
