"Make a quick $ 100" ... "$ 10,000 in 30 days" ... "Parents discover $ 100,000 in cash in their child's closet."
Come on, are we really buying this?
At some point, we all wanted to believe. At some point, we were fed up with how things had been in our lives and we just wanted to get out. At some point, we read these misleading ads and thought:
But all the promises turned out to be empty.
So, here we are, we have a genuine question: can a normal person, without a lot of technical knowledge or capital to invest, earn a living, live well, on the web?
Today I want to answer that question by looking at some "normal people" who make money online in us a living on the web and then look at the characteristics that make them successful.
Katherine is a frustrated astrologer. An attractive woman of 30 years, single and without children, created a site about astrology a while ago without success. But she did not give up.
She had a passion for designer clothes and accessories, but she also had a passion for bargains. Many months ago, her introspection led her to a wholesaler abroad who bought designer products out of season at a tremendous discount.
While wearing her new clothes, her friends started asking her to secure some designer items as well. She was more than willing to do it, and she made a small profit with every bag and every night.
Very soon, she had widely supplied all of her friends/clients and still wanted to sell more. With $ 250 of start-up capital, he founded his online business in November 2001.
In January 2002, his sales were more than $ 30,000 per month and his profit was more than $ 10,000.
It's not bad at all.
Preston had just finished a 3-month stay in a psychiatric hospital. To keep busy while he was there, he started making twisted metal jewelry. After his release, he realized that he could not return to the stress of his usual job.
He decided to travel through Louisiana and Mississippi (USA) and sell his work in flea markets.
Eventually, he had the idea of selling his jewelry online. Today he and his wife are selling almost $ 50,000 per month from home.
Anthony was a skinny guy.
First I met him several years ago through a bodybuilding contest in which we were both participating. To win the contest, you had to transform your body by building muscle and losing body fat. I lost a bit of fat and gained some muscle, not enough to locate it.
Anthony won.
He went from being a squalid guy to looking like he had just come off the cover of Men's Health.
That success became the core to start your own online business, telling other skinny guys how to gain weight and look good.

Robert earned $ 275 per week as an apprentice floor installer. He did not have enough money to buy food, much less for his own computer or computer business. Not only did he not have money, he had not even turned on a computer!
Through persistence and a great product, you now earn more than $ 250,000 per year.
I do not have time or space here to tell you about Gary, who last year earned almost $ 400,000 from his small Internet company that started for less than $ 100; or Ken who brought $ 300,000 last year; or Andy, whose thinning hair became the core of a $ 600,000 business per year.
My point is this ... YOU CAN EARN MONEY IN THE NETWORK.
Here are some things that all these people have in common that will also help you succeed:
ALL HAVE A GREAT PRODUCT
If you sell only the things that everyone else sells, it is likely to fail. When you choose a product, even if it's just your twisted wire jewelry or your enjoyment of everything related to trucks, you can have a winner.
Choose a product or a market that nobody else is effectively targeting. You will be surprised by the results.
THEY STARTED IN SMALL
If you have a large debt to start your business, you will also have a much greater overload and your tolerance for failure and recession will be lower. Most of these people started small and "kept up their daily work".
THEY WERE WILLING TO FAIL
Failure is the path to success if you do not give up. For several of these Internet successes, their "success" came after one or more Internet failures. Many of us are going to have a couple of "chicken eggs" before we achieve success.
LEARNED FROM OTHERS
If you do not know what you are doing, find someone who does and imitates it.
THEY COMMERCIALIZED THEIR SITE
You will not have any sales without visitors. Almost all these people, when interviewed, can tell you with a certain sense of precision how many visitors come from what sources and how many of them become sales. Only the marketers know this detailed information.
AUTOMATED THE MOST POSSIBLE
Routine tasks should be done as automatically as possible so that the business owner can devote his time to the marketing and development of new products. Automation is the key to success and growth in business.
THEY SAVED THE LOW COSTS
The majority of these people operate from their own home to make money. They have few employees if they have any. They use products that are inexpensive or inexpensive to produce and ship.
