Making money online. It sounds so easy and so idyllic. Especially when you read the promotion materials from some of the 'internet gurus', who make thousands a day sitting with their laptops by the poolside of their megabuck mansions. But is it really that easy to make money with the internet? Would anyone 'go to work' anymore if it was? Five myths to consider.
Making Money Online - Myth No. 1: You Will Get Rich Very Quickly
You have probably seen the published bank statements, showing massive amounts of money going in every day. In some cases they are probably genuine (although they can also be very easily forged). But bear in mind that these guys have been in the business a long time and have already built up a good customer list. It really doesn't happen overnight.
Making Money Online - Myth No. 2: It is an Easy Option
Like any business, if you want to make money with the internet it takes time and effort. It can be made to sound incredibly easy, and fundamentally it might be, but if you are going to build something long term and sustainable it will not come without some hard work and commitment. You still need to do market research, write a business plan, consider any necessary investments etc etc. Possible? Definitely. Easy? Definitely not.
Making Money Online - Myth No. 3: People Will Visit your Website just Because it is There
If only! Some people might just stumble over it - but to really get a lot of traffic, you are going to have to make sure that you research your keywords and optimise your website properly for spider visitors as well as the human variety. There is loads of help out there with how to do this. It's just a matter of choosing who to invest in. Which leads nicely into
Making Money Online - Myth No. 4: You Have To Invest in Every Offer With Your Name on It!
Believe me, after you have signed up for a few freebies online, and got your name on a few email lists, you will receive offers of e-books and tele-seminars and programmes every single day. They all promise you the secrets on how to make money with the internet. They all sound absolutely brilliant and you feel as if you would be losing out if you didn't invest... after all, it's only fifty bucks and look at all those freebies you get. These offers are incredibly skillfully worded to make you feel that. You have to become resistant to the get-rich-quick offers and see through to the ones which really are worth investing in. By the time you have bought a few you realise that a lot of them are saying the same thing anyway!
Making Money Online - Myth No.5: It is Completely Free
Although that may sound like a contradiction of the last myth, there is a balance somewhere in between! And while it may be theoretically possible to start an internet business for free, there will be some costs to do it properly - not least things like web hosting and the necessary software for selling things, building opt-in lists etc. Despite having said that you can't buy in to every offer, there are some that are worth their weight in gold and they are really worth investing in.
