Quitting Before You Begin

Most people when starting their online endeavors do not realize how much time and effort needs to be dedicated to becoming successful.  When you see that squeeze page saying that you will turn $10 into thousands in days 99.99% of the time it will not work out for you.  The reason for this is the creators of that program are the exception and the .01% that make substantial amounts of money in the matter of months or sometimes days.

Now I'm not saying that you will never make any money online.  What I am saying is that it takes time, a lot of time.

My best advice is to pick one specific niche or program and stick with it for a duration of at least six months.  In reality it is not that long if you turn out successful.  The truth is most people quit before they even see any sort of results.  For example, if you become an affiliate for a program and promote your butt off for a month and see nothing in return then you will be very discouraged and most likely want to throw in the towel and go to the next eye catching, make money quick, page you see.  Stop throwing your money away!

What you should do is look at what you were doing and why you have not received any results.  Use that to your benefit.  It is a giant game of trial and error.  If you did get some activity track where it came from and what techniques gave you the best results and elaborate on those rather then wasting your time in areas that are providing no results.

If you do not see any results in six months then that should be a sign that your program is not going to be your diamond in the ruff.

Do some research and talk to others that have done this (such as myself).  They will help guide you to programs and techniques that will generate results and how to mimic those results over and over.

Don't quit before you pass GO!

    This is very true! People think of online marketing as get rich quick because that's all that they hear in the news! They don't hear all the hard work that those people had to put in before it was a success story! Keep up the hard work and you will succeed!

    To Your Success!
