Money, money, money. Isn’t that what everyone is discussing. It now seems that everyone on all the social media sites, are trying to sell you, their unique system. To be blunt a lot of them aren’t. I am not beating anyone up, I understand that in the current economy everyone is trying. But trying is not enough. There are a couple of things you need to understand.

This is a business, first and foremost. I have been at a number of seminars, where people pay their money, sign on for the courses, do them. Then nothing. Its amazing, what happens. Lack of action, in my view, is a main cause and failure to overcome obstacles is another one. It is a simple business but you need to follow the system. It is easy to get lost, follow off on a route and then out of nowhere, BANG, another great idea hits you. As with all business you can be an innovator or a follower.

To become an innovator you must first follow, to know the system This also brings up another issue. You need to invest, both time and money. Now in business terms, the investment on line financially, is way less in comparison to traditional business. But investment is needed. One of the things, I have done for the past twenty years  is study successful people. I have read nearly every autobiography of every successful business person, I believe they are a number of ‘secrets’, the main ones are work and persistence.

If you want to make money on line, or even off line, there is no magic pill. But a few words to the wise, don’t do the exact same thing that everyone else is doing, why would you?. What’s your USP, ( unique selling point), its not ,’want 4zillion followers on twitter in the next 90 days’. I have had over 1000 tweets on that in the last month. You are better than this, again its a good system, but it seems the world has it. Find your niche, make it your own, add value and do your homework.

Again at these seminars, I hear time freedom, as one of the main goals, to change careers. This is nonsense! Most people I know who work for themselves, WORK. That’s why work is the first word. But now the secret part, if you have great fun and you love what you do, then your playing not working. Look at all the things you do, that you love. Do you ever complain when you are having fun? No, if you did it wouldn’t be fun. This is also a trait of all successful people, they love what they do.

So they are great systems out there, for online business. Do your research, make a step and see what happens, is one way. Do your research, find a great mentor and make money, is the best way. Of course this is just my opinion.
