How to Be an Internet Millionaire

Author : Kirsty Hale

Becoming an internet millionaire is really easy. You start with reading a couple of articles, then maybe an email course, or a book, pick something you’d like to sell and hire an expert to get your web site up and running.

Another expert will optimize it for you and your staff can add product descriptions and stuff to the website. There are even companies who will hold your hand every step of the way.

Then it’s off to the beach where a weekly call to your assistants will tell you that money is still pouring in to your many bank accounts. Your job is simply to decide on where and how to spend it.

Yacht first or a corporate jet? Tough choice.

This is the dream, and as such its a lovely dream, but that is all it is. The truth of making money online is rather different.

The internet is filled with people who want to part you from your money and selling a course which is guaranteed to turn you into an internet millionaire is one of the most popular ways to do it.

If you had the secret to becoming an internet millionaire, what would you do? Sell the secret in a $50 email course, or a $27 e-book?

Speaking personally I’m pretty sure that with millions in the bank I could come up with better ways to spend my time. I’d be far more likely to keep my knowledge to myself, look at how I built my business, and do it again, only this time, better.

So why is the internet filled with so many people determined that they can make us all rich?

Many of those who sell internet business courses have genuinely made large amounts of money on the web, the question is, how did they do it?

Was it done through the method they are selling? Many internet marketers have never sold ‘conventional’ products. Their product is information - and specifically information on how to market and make money online.

Are all sales the same? That’s a question for individual judgment, but ask yourself if the same thought process is involved in the purchase of, say a juicer or blender as in the purchase of a ‘how to get rich’ e-book.

Is it possible that the sales technique required might be different? There are many aspects of selling physical products which are simply not relevant to information sales - there are no problems with inventory, storage or shipping for starters.

So while you may learn about some aspects of e-business, others, important others, may not be covered.

The road to millionaire stardom is covered with the corpses of entrepreneurs who couldn’t resist shortcuts. To make money online you need to employ reputable companies and you need to learn. Educate yourself so you can understand the claims others make and assess them accurately.

The first rule of ‘How to Become an Internet Millionaire’ is to choose your mentors and information sources carefully. The second rule is to be prepared to fail. Many ‘overnight successes’ are a result of years of work and several failures.

Few people end up in the business they first started, business is about adapting to a constantly changing market and small business can often do that far more successfully than large businesses can.
