Internet Marketing – How Long Before A Newbie Starts Making Money?

Are you new to internet marketing? Do you want to know what to do and how long it typically takes before you will start to be able to make money online? Are you confused over all the products out there that promise you instant riches and pushbutton affiliate sales? 

The truth is that there are some new folks that are able to start making money right out of the gate. Yes, there are actually folks that are able to see results within their first month and their business grows with every month as they move forward. No, I’m not pushing some product or telling you that there is one thing that differentiates successful new marketers from unsuccessful internet marketers. Well, there is no method or way of making money in the form of this product or that product. It is typically something more ethereal that can’t be bought that will cut your learning curve when it comes to making your first money online. 

I have to say that those that are successful right away with making money online have a peculiar balance of determination, a good worth ethic and a thirst for knowledge. Getting good and pissed off or having one’s back up against a wall can be a great motivator for any new marketer. Bills that need to be paid or hating one’s full time job while just wanting the freedom that comes with an internet business can be seen in many newbies that become successful right away. The threat of losing a house, car or having the electric turned off can make someone very focused and determined to make it when it comes to internet marketing. 

Being thoroughly interested and enamoured with the concept of making money online can also be a determining factor in your success. For me, just the thought that I could make money from the comfort of my home and promote any product based around any subject that I desire just blew my mind. Just think about that for a minute! No more getting up when an alarm goes off. No more having to do things that someone else tells you to do because your job depends on it. No more makig someone else rich when you come up with a great idea. Internet marketing really is the easiest way to start a business on your own with zero startup funds needed. This still just blows me away sometimes. 

Now, having a good work ethic doesn’t mean that you keep regular hours or that you dress for success. Having a good work ethic when it comes to your online business means that you have no problem in working hard. There are going to be times when you will want to be out with your friends when the weather is nice but you will know that you really need to get some “work” done on your business. Typically in the beginning it does require some focus and seeing the “big picture” to resist that temptation to hang out with your friends. Knowing that your eventual success and freedom to do what your want up the road is often enough to keep successful people focused. 

There are times when working from home and making money online can be a lot of fun. It is interesting and it is quite thrilling when you do start making regular money at it but there will also be times when the work is monotonous and boring. Link building, article writing and troubleshooting website issues at 1 AM can be frustrating at best and boring at times but by keeping your eyes on the prize and knowing that every effort that you make today will pay off big dividends tomorrow keeps successful internet marketers focused during those early days. 

For some newbie internet marketers though it is just dumb luck that lands them in the right place at the right time to capitolize on a new trend or a unique method of making money online. But the fact that some newbies are open to new ideas actually makes them more open to being at the right place at the right time and allowing those opportunities to come to them. They actually make their own luck. Established marketers often blow off anything outside their comfort zone and stick to what they know works for them. 

If you ARE new to the internet marketing scene and you really do wonder if you can make it online my suggestion is to keep your head down, move forward with the confidence that you can do this and be prepared to learn and work. After all, you will be learning so you yourself can profit and you will be working to build your own business online that will give you the freedom and success that you alone dream of.
