The Money Making Club

By john savage

If you want to join those many people who are making money online, then there are certain things that you must master first. It is no good thinking that you will be an instant success, you must be properly prepared.

The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who'd have you believe it's a "Walk in the Park" and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

And I'll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

Let me share something with you here. Most people who go online do not make a single dime for their efforts, and yet there are some people who make a small fortune, so why the difference?

Well this is one of those abiding mysteries for which most people quite frankly do not have an answer to.

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 any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

What I mean by loving and believing in the product is that you genuinely do think that this product or service will be right for the people who use it, and will help them with some need or problem that they have.

Yes, its true of course that many successful entrepreneurs can get by without a great love or knowledge of the product that they are selling, but for those of you just starting out what I said in the previous paragraph holds true.

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.

Is internet marketing a hard job and a time consuming job? Well no, not really. But it does require you to be passionate about it so that even when you don't feel like it you will press on to get the job done.

As with any business, you need to learn as much as you can about internet marketing, and where better to go than the many search engines that are available to help you in your searching.

What will you be searching for? Well, a company whose products you can feel happy about promoting, and that you can believe in and that you know will be a help to your customers.
