Online Business - Is it Hard to Get Started Making a Living Online?

Well there I was. I had a great job making more money than most people in my area. I was hitting the lake on the weekend traveling when time permitted. Then all of a sudden there I was with a letter in my hands telling me that my job was over. So I started thinking.

* What was I going to do?
* I'm 38 years old - where am I going to go?
* Most places in my area don't pay what I get paid currently.
* Am I going to have to move?
* Can I live off unemployment?
* Whats going to happen now?



Have you asked any of these questions? I started thinking about my last few years. How I had spent my time. How I had been feeling. Well I was in a dead end job in a plastics plant. I never felt free and always worried about how much I was gonna have to work the next week. I was always wondering how long I would have my job. I actually felt hopeless. In conclusion, I was pretty miserable. So I decided to try and take my life in a new direction.

* I started looking up home based businesses on line.
* I read everything I could read.
* I bought E books from all the goo roos.
* I bought programs where you could be making money in 48 hours.
* I studied up on ebay and Craig's list.


Does any of this sound familiar? Well I found than none of it was as easy as they said it was. Some of it was just downright laughable. I bought one e book and it said to think positive about something and it would happen. Can you believe that? Well Ill tell you now. You better do more than think positive!!

I ordered a marketing e book and by the time I was finished. My eyeballs was falling out and I had a really bad headache. Nothing made any sense. I was confused and ready to give up and go to the nearest department store and try and get a job. Maybe I could at least get some health insurance this way. Then I got a call from a company that claimed they would personally walk me through the process of:

* Developing a professional web page
* Finding a product to sell
* How to market the web page
* How to be successful
* They had a guarantee - that they would at least make my money back out of the program before they let me go on my own.


I was desperate. So I dived in and signed up for their program. I had some rough patches because my first coach and I was like oil and water, he didn't like me and I didn't like him. So I switched coaches. Remember you are paying these people so you have a right to be happy with the service you are getting. I'm really glad I payed the fee now because I couldn't have gotten through half of it, without them because I had to meet their deadlines.

If you are going to do this you really have to be self motivated and make your work habits good work habits. You have to stick to the plan and plug at it until you get it right. My coach helped me find my niche and do all the keyword research to get a search engine friendly web page. This took about three months to get this part done. I thought well my page is done now its gonna take off:) WRONG!! Now it was time for the marketing campaign.I then found out I hadn't even started learning yet. Now its time to start doing the following things.

* Submitting the site to directories,
* Submitting to search engines & more directories
* Doing link trading with other keyword relevant web pages.
* learn how to blog and not just basic bloging, but business bloging with key phrases and submissions to directories and search engines.
* learn how to write these articles to promote a on lne business.
* learn how to work the social networks.


Its all just so overwhelming. Even with a coach I had to learn so much on my own. It was crazy. But I did it anyway because I wanted this to succeed. Now its time to wait because one thing that none of these places tell you is that the marketing process is slow. Sometimes search engine submissions takes anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. A lot of the list directories are the same way. So when you are in your marketing stage remember nothing is fast. Unless you are willing to pay everyone you submit to - because they will list your page much faster if you pay them. Do you pay all these directories and search engines to review your site quickly? Well my answer is NO!! Unless you have plenty of money to give away. Just be patient and do your bloging & articles as well as working the social networks to get exposure to your website. All the things really do work together to get your page better ranking in the search engines and also gets you traffic from a lot of different places. I know this is really just skimming the process that takes place when you get started with a on line business. So to answer the question-Is it hard getting started making a living on line?

Yes it is hard, It is a lot of work. Its takes weeks to find a good product and it isn't easy finding a good reliable supplier either. Its takes many hours,days and sometimes weeks building a professional website that actually works. Then the marketing takes many many weeks of working and waiting to start getting that much needed traffic to your site. Because remember you usually actually make sales to maybe 2-3% of your total traffic. I'm not trying to be discouraging about making <
