To Make the Most Dollars, Make the Most Sense!

The world of Internet marketing isn t all it s cracked up to be.In fact, it can be a brutally cold one. Believe me, I learned the hard way. Istarted trying to make money online when I was 14. Like today, there were a lot ofscams out there, and being so young I was especially vulnerable. I wasted hundredsof dollars. The weird thing was I was a pretty smart kid. I knew the value of abuck. But when I came online I didn t think that real world rules applied.

All too often people come online and lose all sense of reality like I did. I see twotypes of people who fail online.

The first type of person thinks EVERYTHING online is a big scam. They don t thinkthey should have to pay for information in e-books or for tools they will need. If you have to put money into your Internet business, it s a definite scam. Theyalso may be freebie seekers and try to suck all your time and knowledge away forfree.

Don t get me wrong. You should always have your Scam Radar up when you re online.But let s think about this logically. Can you startup an offline business withoutinvesting any money into it? Even a small family owned business requires somestartup capital. So why would an online business be any different? Starting up an online business isa lot cheaper than starting an offline one, but the same principles apply. This iswhat economics is all about. People make money by providing a product or service totheir customers. It works the same way online.

The second type of person thinks the total opposite. They throw all judgment andcommon sense out the window and usually dive headfirst into a whirlpool of scams.

They join down line clubs, gifting clubs, Send $5 to everyone on this list programs; they usually spam people and end up wasting a whole lot of money. I shouldknow. I used to be a Type 2 when I first started out! I don t know why, but I justfigured the Internet was a magical wonderland where money fell from skies of gold.Then I woke up.

Type 2 people give legitimate online businesses a very bad name. In fact, they areusually the ones who turn people into a Type 1! After seeing all these scams, it sno wonder some people look at the Internet as one big con. Type 2 people usuallygive up eventually and walk away with a bad taste in their mouth. They also end uplooking at the Internet as one big scam.

Then there is a third type of person, and hopefully you fall into this category.They see the wonderful potential of the Internet and online business, but alsorealize that the same universal laws of business apply. They are willing to learnwhat works, invest time and money in their business, and be patient and persistent.

I realized after awhile that you shouldn t try to make money online. That s toovague. You should start a legitimate business and treat it as a real one. And that swhat type 3 people do. Don t these people make the most sense? They also make themost dollars (Get the pun?!)
