Why You Shouldn't Believe The Hype Of Making Money Online In Your Spare Time

By Russell Howe


Despite the fact that most people see the ability to make money online as nothing more than a pipe dream, thousands of people flock to the worldwide web every month in a bid to become their own boss. Companies such as Empower Network often reap the rewards of that interest, but today we will answer one very important question. Do you actually have time to make this work?

You see, one of the biggest factors in why so many people are led to believe they can generate a full-time income with only a part-time effort is down to the way many MLM's and affiliate programs choose to market themselves. That's right, the companies actually bring it upon themselves in most cases. Due to the large amount of competition in their industry, they'll often use guarantees of being easier and more rewarding than anything else available. Of course, the reality of running your own business is far different.

A good place to start is by losing the idea of picking up a large monthly check if you plan on spending a few minutes per day working. This is a myth which leads to failure in online business. There is nothing wrong with setting yourself a goal of reaching a five or six figure income with your home business, in fact that is a great thing, just be aware that you will need to work hard to achieve it.

Once you get past that myth, a lot of the other common myths surrounding internet marketing suddenly clear themselves up. A good example here is the myth that you can strike it lucky by joining a brand new company in pre-launch, getting in before the masses, then make a fortune by simply being in the right place at the right time. Companies know this attracts freeloaders and they use that type of marketing to attract them in order to build a big email list. Notice in three months those individuals get another irresistible email offering them the chance to join the latest venture...

The biggest reason most affiliate marketers fail in reaching success is inconsistency. They love the idea of the end product, the full-time income, but they lack the drive to find time to work on building their business at the beginning. That's the most important part. Even if you're just doing something small, those small efforts mount up over time. []

In an ideal world, somebody who is serious about becoming their own boss should be able to spend 1-2 hours every single day working on building their business. That time can be applied to a whole range of different aspects, ranging from finding and engaging a social media audience to getting your website up and running. Once that is all done, of course, the work does not simply end. Time is then applied to growing your audience and targeting whichever niche you are operating in so that you can gain superior search engine optimization.

The beauty of working from home via the internet is that anybody can reach success if they work hard. That fact is often played out in a misleading manner these days and used as a method to fool people into thinking that building an income online is really easy. But it remains a fact.

In order to make money online you have to learn how to start from the ground and build your way from obscurity. For example, if you are just starting in a company like Empower Network then there are already hundreds of existing affiliates who have been doing it longer than you. That doesn't mean you won't succeed, it simply means you need to take your time and build your brand every chance you get. Over time you'll overtake all of those who are not applying the same effort to their business.
