What are the differences between opportunity seekers and successful business people when it comes to building an online business? Let me use myself as an example. Ouch!

As a Web Marketing Newbie, I really had no plan outside of slapping up a website and selling all kinds of goodies and then watching the money roll in. But, I discovered the wonderful world of the Business in a Box, which countless Gurus were offering at a measly $40 to $50 bucks a month. All that I needed to do was send a few of my friends to sign up under me and help me to evangelize the greatest thing since the wheel.

Since these gurus made their fortunes using the same packages, how could I miss? They did all of the hard work, countless hours of trial and error, sweat and tears and money, but they're finally rich online money mavens. Now, they will share all of that knowledge with me, and all I have to do is do a little advertising and kick back. I thought that I found the Holy Grail of marketing online. No work involved. Sweet!

Point is, there was always a better Biz in a Box, especially when the first 5 or 6 prior didn't seem to be doing much but alienating my friends and family and draining my pocketbook on pay per clicks, ads and what not!

I'm not blaming the marketers that I bought into, after all, They developed their businesses, at least some of them, anyway, but the good ones will tell you that it wasn't easy. Opportunity seekers spend much of their time surfing, looking for the next Sure Thing Biz in a Box, without having a solid plan or goal to reach their impending riches.

An Entrepreneur on the other hand has sat down and researched his goal(s), much the same way successful business people in the offline industry succeed. They targeted a market, usually within their area of expertise, decided how to approach their markets, who they were marketing to and finally how they were going to monetize their market.

Looking back on my Newbie mistakes, and I'm still no guru, what will I do differently from now on? I'm going to Listen and Emulate the Great Marketers, who all agree on a few specific immutable laws of business, no matter what you're selling.

Plan it out. Don't spread yourself out all over the place. An example would be an affiliate program. Find a good and reputable company whose product sells well and sign up. Stay with it. Give it an honest effort.

After you affiliate with this company, How will you market it? Pay per click is great for quick hits, provided that you select the correct Targeted Keywords and have the funds to get through the learning curve at Adwords, Overture etc.
