Why So Many People Give Up on Their Online Business Opportunity.

A question I am asked time and time again is "can a complete newcomer make money online?" My response to that is, and always will be "absolutely YES, if the correct mindset is in place." The correct mindset CAN make money online.

Now if you're reading this article here and already you have those doubts in your head, those nagging fears and you're questioning yourself in this business, do you know what? - That is absolutely fine, it really is and I almost embrace that. I was like that when I started out in the online industry. I was excited about my new business, of course I had fears and I questioned myself many, many times as to whether I could do this.

There has never been a better time than right now to start an online business. Please do not start thinking that you're too late, that you should have done this years ago, that you've missed the boat because nothing could be further from the truth.

Just think about Google for a second, Google is almost 12 years old. Imagine 12 years into the car industry or the computer industry or the airline industry. Do you think people are saying "oh well, it's almost 12 years old now, we've missed the boat". Absolutely they are not, people are always looking for the next best thing, how to improve on what is already out there and the world of the internet is no different.

Here we are into the second decade of the 21st century and this is the perfect time to start, to really consider an online business. The web is still in its infancy, yet it's not a fad, it's not a phase, it's not going to disappear.

The fundamental fact about the internet, if you decide to really take this seriously, is that you can reach an unlimited audience and the entry costs are pretty much next to nothing. Compare this to any other business and there simply is no comparison. This opportunity that is in right in front of both you and I has never been seen before in our lifetime but I suspect there's a part of you that actually does know that, and it will never be seen again.

Now if you're familiar with Robert Kiyosaki and his books on success, he always says that the way to success is to stand in front of a trend. We are all in front of the biggest trend we will ever see. My question to you therefore is, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to sit there and let it pass and in a few years from now turn round and say "oh, I should have got involved" or are you going to dive in despite having some fears, which I'm sure you do have, and actually get involved?

Can a Beginner Really Make Money Online?

YES, YES, YES! Like any business though, there will be a certain number of new skills you will have to learn first. For some reason, the web has got a kind of reputation of being really quick and you don't have to do any work. That is not strictly true, it's not particularly quick, and it's not particularly easy. Great incomes can be made however, but only AFTER a new Skillset is learnt.

The problem or difficulty facing most people starting out online is that all these new skills are more of less thrown at you at once and we end up with 'information overload'. It's at this point that many people give up, they tell themselves it's not for them, it's too difficult, they don't have the skills to make money online.

What I'd like to do now is to take these new skills and break them down. The new skills you will need to get comfortable with are:


Correct mindset
Simple web skills - get over that web fear
How to create a webpage
How to upload
Autoresponders
How to generate traffic

The very definition of a skill is that it can be learnt, that is what a skill is. Just think of a baby trying to walk, takes its first steps then falls down. Mother then says out loud "oh well, that's it, this one's never going to be a walker". No, the baby is developing a skill that needs to be perfected and the only way this is going to happen is to take a few bumps along the way, get frustrated but the baby never gives up. You are a baby in the world of internet marketing, you will take many bumps along the way, you will probably want to tear your hair out in frustration but what you must NEVER do is GIVE UP.
