This is business..Big business !

Hey all,

So something I wanted to write to you, kind of a follow on from a previous thread recently....

I want to say this to others new to this game like myself. Having just achieved my first affiliate sales online and generated over $1700 in 8 days I need to get this mindset over to you.

I want you to realise that if you are serious about making money online then you need to know that working online is BUSINESS !

I'll say that again.. Being an internet marketer is real Business...

It therefore needs to be approached like a bricks and mortar business, just because it is online does not make easy.

The sooner you realise that making money online is Not a fad and get to grips that you need to plan your business and work damn hard the quicker you will become a success.

So, to those that are trying and having no success I can tell you what I have done differently in the last 5 weeks compared to what I did for the last 18 months.

For well over a year I have been trying to make money online with absolutely no success, now this is totally down to the fact that instead of having a business plan all I did was go from 1 hype product to the next and next.....

I used to think that was being productive.. Ha HA HA ( How wrong I was )

So, what do I do now different ?????

Well firstly I stopped looking at what the gurus were selling TO ME and started to look at HOW they were selling to me.. Well these guys make a lot of money right so just see how they do it.

Put that together with the fact that the internet is changing in a new direction right now and if you know the way its going then you can head in that direction... Well its all over the web right now so you should figure it out.

So 5 weeks back I got a blog started, branded with my own name ( DeanHolland.com ) Now I was a total newbie when I started that so I had to learn from scratch how to even build a blog. Thats exactly what I have blogged about, telling people exactly what I have done and how I have done it.

Now the following to my blog has become great !! It is a BUSINESS achievement for me and I am finally seeing myself go somewhere.

In fact after just 5 weeks not only do I now have my blog going strong I also have my first ebook on the way in the next week or so ( Which by the way will be a free product available on my blog )

So that is what I am saying to all of you in that position that I was just 5 weeks back.. Forget what you are being told to buy and start doing what you've got to do. Yes you will have to spend money but to begin with that shouldnt go further than hosting and an autoresponder. Well at least it doent have to right away unless you have the funds to spend on custom graphics / headers for your blog but they are not urgent to begin with.

I hope that helps and ultimately if you are stuck in that trap of not getting anywhere just stop and think what you could be doing for your business and then help others with theirs... That is the key

You dont need anyone elses product to succeed, start with the basics and keep go forwardsfrom then on.

Good luck

Thanks

Dean

    Nice post Dean and well done on your success. Long may it continue.

    Hopefully people will look at your post and realise that this is a business and it needs to be treated as one.

    Making an achievable plan and taking action are all steps on that road to a sustainable and successful business.

    Yes, there are many ways to get there, but until you pick one direction and stick to it you will never know if it would have really worked out for you.
