Starting an on-line career is a big decision. It is no different than changing your job. Because, you are changing your job.
The nice thing about internet marketing, is that you not have to jump in with both feet. If you currently are employed, or have other means of support, you can take your time about deciding.
Take an assessment of yourself
Does working at home appeal to you?
- How well do you work in isolation? Because when you work from home you are working by yourself.
- How well do you handle interruptions? Because if there are others at home, they will be interrupting you.
- How well do you handle distractions? Because when you are at home, there is multitude of other things to do besides work.
- If you have the discipline to deal with the above, you have the start of what it takes to become successful at internet marketing. But are you ready to try it full-time?
What do you know about internet marketing?
Have you ever created a web page? You will need to.
- Do you know what HTML is? You will need to at least know some.
- Do you like to write? This is important if you want to do article marketing.
- Do you know what article marketing is? It is one of many ways to promote your website.
- Do you know what else there is to know? Of course not, but there is a lot.
- There is a learning curve. You will have to get training. However, the best part about training for affiliate marketing is that you can experiment easily and inexpensively.
So, while you are training, you are not yet ready to do internet marketing full time. This means: do not quit your day job. And, if you are not working, find a part-time job that will keep the wolves away from your door.
Training takes place in two parts:
Reading and learning.
Experimenting and learning.
It is not until you get to the second part: experimenting, before you start seeing income.
- Experimenting means doing.
- Experimenting means finding out what works.
- Experimenting means failing, and
- Learning from your failures.
- In time your experiments start paying off. The more you experiment, the more you learn to do things correctly, the faster your income will build.
Then one day, you are an full time internet marketer. Then you can quit your day job.
