The same is true when it comes to the Internet marketing industry. Even though there are people out there who'd mislead you and have you believe it's a simple "Walk in the Park" and requires no more than the belief that you can do it.
I'll have to admit, it can be a walk in the park compared to what you have to do in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to a boss who doesn't have your best interests in mind, but there are still rules to follow and pitfalls you must avoid in order to actually make Internet marketing work for you.
Most people will never make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?
The answer comes with the age-old chicken or egg question, "what comes first the chicken or the egg"? Personally I say, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no clue and I don't think many of us do either.
But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have passion for the company, products and/or service of the Internet business from which you expect to make money.
Passion in this sense simply means that you've researched and like the company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like (or Passion) into the education, excitement and work that is required and that usually accompany Passion and success.
I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I'm concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.
Now, I'm not trying to make anyone believe that passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join - but sidestep passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.
It therefore follows that, if you have no passion for the company and the products and services provided by that company, again, you won't attempt to do the work you are being taught.
Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time consuming but it does take motivation and dedication caused by passion to get you off and running with a sustained constant effort so that you won't stumble or quit.
You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!
Your research should reveal a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have passion. If you don't find it, move on. You can find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above.
Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I'll start that business - does not sound like a decision based on anything even close Passion. Remember, when you hear that an Internet "guru" does something, don't be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being passionate about the company products and services.
Note: By the way it's your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.
Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you don't first find the right company products and services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.
Not being passionate about a company, products and services that has market proof that it will sell, is a pitfall you simply must avoid.
