If You Struggle To Make Money Online, Are You REALLY Working Hard Enough?

Hey Guys....


I have seen a number of the "I've been doing IM for years and still can't make money so I quit" type of threads lately.

It seems that in most cases the "hard work" that they have been putting into creating and maintaining profitable online ventures is minimal.

Rather, there is a misconception of what the word "work" means when it comes to Internet Marketing. Buying and reading one ebook after another is not work. It's fun, I give you that. I love reading about the different aspects of internet marketing and how I can apply it to my own blogs and websites. But that step isn't work.

It only becomes work when I take what I learned and then aplly it by taking some sort of action. Reading about the concept does nothing by itself. Taking action, experiencing the results firsthand. Altering the concept slightly to better fit your needs.

When I hear someone say "I have been doing IM for years without success", I automatically assume that this person hasn't taken enough action. If you have truly been doing something (anything really) for years, then you will see the some results from it. People just aren't working hard enough.

This is so common. I'll often see someone say "I tried article marketing and it doesn't work." Really? It seems to work for most people.

Did they really work hard enough on article marketing to truly make that judgment? Often times the "work" they put in were 2 poorly written articles published to EZA with no keyword optimization done. That's the exent of the hard work that they put in.

Now, what would have happened if he REALLY put in the hard work involved. Let's say that he just wrote and submitted 2 articles a keyword optimized articles to EZA each week (and honestly, 2 articles a week is hardly hard work - many harcore article marketers submit 2-5 articles a day to article directories).

Just that type of consistent work would result in 100+ articles in a years time. And with proper keyword phrase targeting, that should be proding a fair amount of direct traffic and backlink juice.

Hard Work Pays Off

This is the lesson that those who are struggling should take to heart. Being poor sucks. Trust me, I totally understand that. But if you truly want a way to stop struggling and start making a consistent amount of income online, you need to commit to putting in the work required, even if you don't see the results right away.

Don't say: "I'm going to try article marketing."

Do say: "I am going to try article marketing by throwing up a quick blog and then committing to write and submit 20 keyword optimized articles over the next 2 months."

The question everyone should ask themselves is this: if you aren't happy with the amount of income you make on a monthly basis online, can you honestly say that you are working hard enough?


And I don't want to come off as preachy. I have my own ups and downs. Sometimes I get lazy and when I do, my income inevitably goes down.

If I want to make more, I have to work harder. That's just the reality. You work hard now, earn more, and then be able to outsource the "hard work".

But if you are having trouble making money online, especially your first dollar, I suggest that you truly analyze if you are putting in the required work . Are you really working hard enough?

Much Success,
