subject: Don't Be Misled By These Online Business Myths [print this page] The failure rate for internet marketers is right around the 95% mark. This may seem high but the reason is because a lot of folks really think they can get rich right away with little work. Start an online business with the right tools and attitude and overtime you really can make good money.
It's too bad that people take these misconceptions to heart and come into an online business thinking that it is going to be super easy to make money. A lot of people think that just by starting a website and getting it up and running is the majority of work that is required. The truth though is that you have to invest plenty of time and hard work in order to make any money at all.
Now you can understand why the failure rate for newbies is so high. Their expectations are too high, and when the money doesn't show up right away, they get scared off and quit.
Often the tasks it takes to succeed in making a lot of money with an internet business are underestimated. Doing this all by yourself is only going to make it more difficult.
To become successful with an online business is really all up to you do all the necessary tasks and stay on top of your daily "need to do" tasks. Just learning how to use html code to update and customize your website is going to take plenty of time. You'll also have to learn what promotion techniques work and which don't. Running support, answering emails, and writing a lot are just some of things you'll have to do on a daily basis.
Knowing that there really is so much to do to make it successful, many people back out at this point and give up. The thing is, most people don't realize that this tedious work will pay off some time down the road. It happens often that the person will quit literally right before the sales start pouring in.
It is my advice to really do your research to find a legit internet business that you want to run. Become knowledgeable about what it is going to take for you to succeed and then create a plan that takes you step-by-step to success. Once you know what it will take, you then can judge how far you are progressing so you don't quit too early.
Work hard and work often and you will soon see that your efforts will pay off.
