Can I Be A Success Online? Part 1
So you want to have success online, huh? Great. There are plenty of ways to do it. AutoSurfs, MLMs, form-filling/surveys, Affiliate Marketing, HYIP’s and the good old-fashioned way: Your own product on your own website.
You’re at the very beginning of your journey. So if they sound like gobledy gook to you now, fear not. You can figure it all out later. It’s estimated that every day over 250,000 people decide to start earning money at home on the Internet. That’s a lot of people who don’t have a clue what these terms mean either. Everyone’s got to start somewhere.
Where To Start
For most people, a reasonable course of action when choosing an online business is to bring up their favourite search engine (if they’ve even got one yet) and type the words “work from home”. The number of sites that come up when you enter such a term on Google alone is 8.6 billion. Compare this with “find a job” (6.5 billion) or “new career” (1.9 billion) and you get an idea of where Internet Marketers are directing their efforts.
The Agony Of Choice
OK. So the good news is, if there’s plenty of supply you’ve got plenty of choice. But how do you go about choosing the one that’s best for your success online? How do you know which one of those 8.6 billion work from home ideas gives you the best chance of success? Let’s face it, you could live until you’re five hundred and you still wouldn’t have read them all.
To Get Help Or Not To Get Help
And perhaps you’ve got your own idea, perhaps you’ve used the internet enough to have identified a niche area, a business idea you want to exploit. Either way, you’re entering new waters and its best to prepare yourself for your success online. Even if you’re convinced by your own idea, it is still advisable to watch, and even join, one or two of the work-from-home offerings so you can learn about how business can and can’t be done online.
Finding Your Way To Online Success
There is a method I teach which helps people decide on which way to turn for your success online, if they should turn to any of them. It uses a simple set of questions and as long as you are honest to your core, your answers will steer you in the right direction.
The set consists of 4 quick questions that you should answer without giving too much thought to. Just read them each and give the first answer that comes into your head – give your instinctive answer.
It is important to be instinctive because once you’ve embarked on your online career, it will be your instinct that will direct you. Don’t take time theorising about what you think the right or wrong answer should be, just give the true answer. That’s the only way you’ll get a useful result.
You should answer These four questions in order with a score between 1 (minimum) and 5 (maximum). No zeros. Write your answers down and keep them safe.
Here they are:
- How computer literate am I? (Not at all → 1. Exceedingly → 5)
- How is my self-discipline? (Terrible → 1. Excellent → 5)
- How positive is my outlook on life? (Miserable → 1. Excellent → 5)
- How much can I afford to fail? (I can’t → 1. It really doesn’t matter → 5)
In part II we’ll analyse your results and move on to the next stage in the process of having success online. In the meantime, enjoy researching and see if you can get a good feel of what’s out there.
