Are you making money on the Internet yet? How much have you accomplished since January? Are you proud of what you’ve achieved — or frustrated by how little you’ve done? If not, do you feel like you’re constantly burning rubber and going nowhere?

You need to ask yourself: Why?

There are 5 main reasons you may be suffering from “failure to launch”…

#1: You’re Overwhelmed and Don’t Know Where to Start

So many different experts say you have to do THIS first, or THAT. And you absolutely MUST buy THIS product, and THAT service — and here’s one that you can’t live without! If you’ve been on a list of the mega-launches lately you’ll know exactly what I mean.

It’s enough to drive you BATTY.

My advice is do some research and find a proven, step-by-step method that walks you through every stage of building a business, so you know exactly WHAT you need to do and WHEN.

… Then stick with that system and follow it straight through from beginning to end — without getting distracted by all the other possibilities out there.

Keep it simple and follow the basics… otherwise, you’ll find yourself trying to run in a dozen different directions at once… and going nowhere fast!

#2: Fear of Technology

I see it when I talk to people at my seminars…

… I suggest they learn to do it themselves first — so they can do as much of their own site management as possible — and their eyes get that “deer caught in the headlights” look.

All I can tell you is, don’t be afraid to learn something new! That old saying, “old dogs can’t learn new tricks” doesn’t apply here.

If you know how to use the computer to write letters… send emails… and surf the Internet, then you have ALL the skills you need to start an online business.

… You just need to know how to put them to good use!

Nope, they’re not all “Amazing Race” challenges!

For starters, they’re the topics of websites that a few of our clients started from scratch in just five days…… but MORE importantly, they’re websites that are all based on each owner’s particular hobbies, interests, and experiences.

And that’s the key to ANY successful Internet business: Build your website around a topic you LOVE, one you already know something about, and one you’re eager to learn MORE about.

That’s because, when you build an Internet business around something you already know a lot about, you can forget about wasting valuable weeks or months trying to get up to speed on your subject.

I don’t spend nearly enough time talking about running an Ecommerce store and frankly, shame on me for that. The biggest reason I say that, is that in the internet business world, although I have chosen to go the route of information marketing, the segment of building and running an online store is a much larger segment with far more opportunities available for the new online entrepreneur.

But being a successful entrepreneur requires that you look at the big picture and follow a plan through from beginning to end. Rieva Lesonsky, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur Magazine gives some practical guidelines that can help you when beginning your own enterprise:

1. Don’t Quit Your Day Job.
Consider starting your business part-time, especially if it’s online, while you’re working and have a steady income. It usually takes six months to a year to get a business going and you don’t want your ability to make your house payment to hinge upon your company being an overnight success. Start with what you can manage, financially and time-wise, and scale up as your business grows. Read the rest of this entry

I’m sure you’ve wondered that. And what can you do to make it happen faster, simpler and easier?

There are a lot of different methods you can use online to bring in the bux. But there is one Method EVERYONE agrees on and uses: That is they want YOU to buy their PRODUCT. So regardless of what moneymaking method they SAY you should do, what they DO is to sell products.

Now, that isn’t to criticize the other forms of making bux online. I think a lot of them are good and clever. But it IS to say this: There is only that virtually everyone uses — and that is selling products.

And to be more specific, if you haven’t noticed lately, the price point on MOST of these products isn’t cheap. They are big tickets. Why? It’s hard to feed the kids and make a Mercedes payment on $30 ebooks.

When will YOUR ship come in? How can you MAKE it come in?

I’ve been teaching and telling people that the best, consistent bux are in creating and selling your very own info products. And in today’s market, specifically “big ticket info products” or what I call BTIP’s. Read the rest of this entry
