What to do when you’re not making any money online

I actually wrote this for an article for my article marketing stuff, but I figured it’d be a good read for you guys too. I didn’t wanna get hit by the duplicate content filter, so I used the EverProfits Toolbar content rewriter to do the job. So, sorry about any weird words.
So if you are not producing any money online, the first thing you have to do is identify the reason why.
WHY are you not making any money?
WHY aren’t the paychecks flooding your mailbox yet?
Well, I’ll say to you the most usual reason right now:
<strong>Lack of persistence.</strong>
So most people jump into the first opportunity they find, tries to “do it” half-assedly like once, probably in rare cases, twice.
Remember that Thomas Alva Edison failed over 7000 times before succeeding to make the first lightbulb, the same kind that’s in practically every house nowadays.
His persistence and determination changed the world.
If you have even half of his will-power, you’ll forever change YOUR world.
Don’t, like most people, try something… “Crap, this doesn’t work” and move to the next method or opportunity, and expect better consequences on the FIRST try. That’s just madness, thinking you’ll be rich on your first attempt.
Would you like to fail several times with one method to finally succeed, or ought to you rather fail yet or twice with tens or even hundreds of methods and never succeed?
Success requires Focus, Persistence and Patience. You can’t expect to get rich over night, that’s just a pipedream.
It does not matter all that much with what you try to succeed WITH, as long as you’re persistence. Of course, don’t take me too literally, you probably won’t become a millionaire by bringing about free “e-sandwiches” (yeah I just made that up, feel free to steal the idea) for people. Well, actually, if your site becomes very popular and becomes a large community of people sending e-sandwiches to their friends and family… people will want to advertise on your site. The more popular your sandwich site gets, the more the advertisers could be willing to pay.
Get the idea? You could literally construct money online by doing anything. Most methods do work, they just require select helpful guidelines (or recently even more time without the guidelines, you know, trial & error) and a lot of persistence… and you will succeed.
Actually, I just read about a guy on the DigitalPoint forums that’s averaging $30,000 a month from CJ (affiliate network). And get this: the guy has never read an e-book.
Here are some more methods people have succeeded with:
*Pay Per Click marketing
*Bum Marketing
*Article Marketing
*Link Exchanges
*Offline Promotion
*Ezine Advertising
*Ezine Publishing
*Affiliate Marketing
*Blogging
*PLR Re-selling
*Selling your own products
*JV Partners
*Dave Gale’s Automated Cash Formula
Now those are just some of them. There’s several other methods to make money online, and you can be successful with any of them.
If you follow some general clickbank book for example, you can expect general success. Sure, a lot of methods work, but different things work for different people. The methods we come up with ourselves usually work best. Take Bill Gates for example. He started doing WHAT HE KNEW and helped fix the neighbors’ computers, for a small fee of course. And this… grew into a company that’s today known as Microsoft.
He had his unique method. He used what he already knew, and flipped that around and made a profit. At that time I’m sure there were other people with the same knowledge of computers as he had, but they didn’t do anything to capitalize off that. They didn’t take “action”.

Yes, this is also true. My point with this post was that people often get an information overload from reading TOO much, and they give up in everything they do, and fail because they’re not persistent with one method first.
When you have mastered one method, you can move on to the next one.
