You should only enter the internet with an expectation that is in line with your own commitment level. It would be better to enter the internet market with the expectation that it will only serve as a hobby, and end up making $500 extra per month, than to enter it thinking that you will be fulltime in 3 months, and end up only making $500 per month. If you have some experience, and are willing to work 20-30 hours per week, and are willing to buy some instructional materials and perhaps some coaching, then you might be able to set a goal of making an extra $500 per month in several months. And if it ends up being double or triple that, then that is a good thing. But if it does not, you are not trying to live on your savings, completely frustrated.

Importance of Long Term Commitment

You need to have the mental fortitude to say that you will do whatever it takes, for as along as it takes, to gain the necessary skill set to excel online.

Importance of Ongoing Education

Your ability to earn money online will only grow in proportion to the skill set you obtain. Like I have said before, there is always the possibility of beginners’ luck, of creating an awesome product right out of the gate, and having one strong product that makes you some nice income right off the bat. But long term, the money you make online will be in proportion to the skills you develop.

There is nothing lucky about making money online in the long run.

Everything you do online is skill based. Think about it one step at a time. The craft of putting up a web site and structuring it is a skill. Sending traffic to your website will be a skill. Why do some web sites have only 50 visitors a day and others have 50,000 a day? Do you really think it is luck? If you were to do the exact same things that the web site with more traffic does, do you think you would have the same amount of traffic that you do now? Of course not. You would have the same level of traffic as the bigger site, if you did exactly the same thing as the bigger site does.

Same thing with list building. There is a fundamental difference in the skill level of the marketer who has a list of 50,000 and gets 100 new subscribers per day and the marketer who has a list of 500-1000 and gets 5-10 new subscribers a day.

Think about email responses. Is it luck or skill that some people can write email headlines that consistently, long term, have open rates over 25%, and others cannot get open rates greater than 10%? Of course it is skill based. If the marketer who consistently gets 2

Think about email responses. Is it luck or skill that some people can write email headlines that consistently, long term, have open rates over 25%, and others cannot get open rates greater than 10%? Of course it is skill based. If the marketer who consistently gets 25% open rates were to begin to write the headlines for the currently 10% open rate campaign, the email rates would go up. Maybe not to 25%, if the list is too badly damaged, but his skill set would enable him to write email headlines that would compel more people to open the emails.

This principle can be seen in just about any other form of web activity. If you develop the skill, you will be able to make more money on one aspect of web business than someone who has not developed the skill.
