Home Based Business - Making Money With Your Passions as Your Guide
By Mark Barkow
Too many people jump into trying to make money online without being properly prepared.
We know all there are prerequisites to all professions, whether it is being a doctor,
bricklayer, office worker, etc. There are certain things you must learn to be successful.
You cannot just drive in and expect to be able to be successful.
The Internet marketing industry is no different even though there are so many out there
that try to tell you different and try to sell you the idea that it's a cakewalk and want
you to believe that you can do it as long as you buy their course.
I will admit that it is a lot easier than working for someone that could care less
about you, having to punch a time-clock, but still, there are rules you have to follow and
pitfalls to avoid to truly make this marketing online thing work for you.
We all know that most people will not make any money online, but on the other hand some
will make more in one week more than others can make in a whole year. Why is this so?
Let's start by thinking in terms of what came first, the egg or the chicken. I don't
know and I don't really believe anyone has any intelligent points to prove one way or the other.
But I do know one thing, to be really successful at what you do online, you first must
have a true passion for what you are doing, meaning the Internet company or project you
are working with must really have your interest if you plan on making money from it.
In this sense passion means you have looked into the company, its products and its
services. At that point you can develop a passion through the excitement and work that
will be required to work the project that you are truly interested in.
It is true that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they can
block out any need of passion and be successful. However, I don't think this is possible
for those not as highly skilled or knowledgeable at online marketing.
We all know that it takes more than passion to market successfully online. You must
also have a decent website, use good marketing methods, do smart and sufficient
advertising, have good company support, good keyword research, etc. These things can be
acquired with your relationship to the company you are working with, their support. But,
without the passion, you reduce your chances of success dramatically.
The problem is, if you have no passion for that company, its products or services you
need to market, you will find doing that a chore rather than something agreeable. It will
affect the time and effort you put into it greatly.
The work involved in Internet marketing is typically not all that difficult or take
that much time but it does require motivation that comes from the passion you have for
doing it so that you get off to a great start that sustains you and your work effort.
