With the practically free cost of entry, anyone can now start to market on the internet, but few actually succeed in creating a serious business.

In part we can point the finger of blame towards the many ’get-rich-quick schemes’ (there are as many as there are snake oil salesmen selling them) Many of these ‘pie in the sky’ programs simply squash the dreams (and bank balances) of the would be web marketer before they get far enough to see the light at the end of the internet!  I’ve heard figures bounced round that only 5% of people trying to make money online will ever go full-time and make a business out of it, I fear it may be more like 1%.

So what can you do to dramatically increase your chances of making money online?

 Learn the essentials, and get to grips with the basics of marketing (in general not just online!)

The difference between you now and someone making 7 figures a year online is just some experience, a lot of hard work and a head start. Someone making 7 figures is doing the same as someone making 4 figures a year, they are driving traffic to targeted offers, just on a larger scale!

 So if you can learn the essentials, the activities that you need to master and do on a daily basis to make money, then you are already ahead of 99% of the rest who are chasing their own tales looking for a ‘magic pill’
