Work At Home Myths

As I look around throughout the internet I find there are more and more searches by people wanting work from home jobs. This with the current state of our economy frankly worries me a bit!

As prices go up and jobs now are at an all time low, we the mainstream Americans are suffering greatly. Even with the seven billion dollar bail out, that should never have been enacted without stricter guidelines, has left the American tax payers with additional burdens to now bear. Within one week of the bail out, AIG has now taken a retreat to the tune of $450,000.00, which alone says a lot.

You may be wondering what this has to do with internet marketing. Everything unfortunately. There are more and more people looking for work and there are more searches on the internet for work from home jobs, almost 400,000,000 in fact. This is a Google total for one month of searches.

I have been approached many times already by big name marketers on how important it is to capitalize on these misfortunes. You will begin seeing more and more of the get rich quick programs. The make $10K in one day schemes, no work involved, your own money machine, and so on and so on.

Do not fall for these programs! They will not now or ever put money into your pocket. There will be more and more gifting programs, up sell sites, more junk companies and businesses that will suck the money from your pockets and leave you confused and broke.

Are their real programs on the internet that will actually give you the opportunity to make money? Yes, but you have to do the research, ask questions, email the support group, research the online forms, learn everything you can before signing up, and first and fore most, You must be willing to Work.

Remember the two biggest lies out there are:

Anyone can do it!: If you build it, they will come!

This is not true, not everyone that goes into an Internet marketing business will be successful. You will need to promote your business. There is no blog, website, or program that will automatically make you money or sales.

You will have to find your targeted audience, know what it is that they want, and be able to offer a solution. Within the past six years I have been teaching Internet Marketing and the number one question I always receive is, "why do people fail"?

People invest in a website or product, they only do a little research, they believe that people want the product, they try to sell it, and the more they try to sell the item, the more confused they become and they begin to lose interest in the business that they started. You have to stay focused! Many people do not. When they do not see the financial gains they were promised.

If you do not believe in yourself and the product you are selling, if you do no research on what people want and what they are looking for, if you are not focused and driven, you will not succeed. Stop "selling" and have a real solution for what people are looking for and then they will buy.

I am amazed to this day that people will buy a bottle of water, when water is free!
