Passive Income From Selling Things Online

Maria Wants to help you


Making money selling things online takes careful planning, a focused approach,

and a certain knowledge that can only be gained through experience. While snake

oil salesmen try to represent that making money online is both easy and instant,

the truth is the process of building a money making website can take anywhere from

a few weeks to a few months or more. By taking a short term perspective, you are

setting yourself up for disappointment and failure.

When you decide that you want to start an online business, you need to have
the mentality of sticking with it until you see the results you desire. Anyone who
tells you that you can start making money immediately is doing you a great
disservice. Realize that snake-oil salesman have an incentive to tell people it is easy
to make money online because it will help them sell more of their package. Who
wants to hear that selling stuff online requires time and lots of hard work? They
could care less if the people that buy their product succeed or fail, all they care
about is making the sale.
When you are studying the available systems, software, packages and products for
making money online, you can pretty much tell who is full of it by looking at the
guarantees they provide: There is never a guarantee you will make money with any
business unless you have the knowledge required to get going, and the perseverance
to see your ideas through to fruition. If you are looking for something that’s instant,
chances are you don’t really have what it takes. If you are planning on starting your
own website, realize that you are in this for the long run.

It makes sense, really. The most appealing characteristic of the automated online
business model is that once you get the momentum moving in the right direction,
your website will tend to pick up steam. Who cares about how much money you
make in the first month, when the real measure should be how much you made in
your first year, and then how much you improve month over month from the previous
year. If you take the time to invest 200-300 hours and build something that is
potentially going to generate income for the rest of your life, what happens in the
short term just doesn’t matter.
