Which internet business really works

Have you ever pop this question to anyone before?

Well, I believe this sentence would be in anyone’s mind when they first decided to start their internet business online.

Those people who have been doing their business online for many years are also seeking for this answer desperately. Mainly because they either failed miserably, lose a huge some of money in those “get rich quick” programs or they are not patience enough to get through the “learning stage”.

Even if you ask the most successful entrepreneurs online, someone who has already earning huge money online, or the so-called gurus that coach student $500/hrs, I doubt they really know the answer.

What I mean is they can’t possibly make you a millionaire with just a few words of advice or throw you their success blueprints and say, “Hey, do this and you’ll be like me…”, because what they achieved is through lots of hard works and by learning from their failures. This takes not days, but years…

Does this mean you can’t succeed online?

Of course not, I’m not trying damper your dreams by saying all this, but this is a cold hard truth you need to understand if you were to build a successful internet business. To cut it short, you need to know actually what you want to do first, rather than letting others telling you what to do!

Anyway there are lots of ebooks out there teaching you how to start off internet business the right way, with the right mindset. How? Google and Yahoo are your best source for answers, but you can also see some of my recommendations on this blog for some great ebooks.

I came across “Yahoo! Answers” when I was browsing the web lately, then I saw someone asking a similar question which I was discussing above, see it here:

Has anyone ever made money off of an internet business? Please be truthful.I am not looking for overnight riches, just some extra money to pay off old bills.
Which internet business did you join with? How much have you made so far? How long have you been a member? And did you have to put any money down?

You see, I’m enthusiastic (some say busybody) when it comes to helping people to build their business online especially when it concerns about “internet marketing”. It helps me to be recognized as an authority in this line of field, but my main purpose was to increase my popularity. (I’ve said before, this is all hard works)

Anyway, I thought I’ll make a post here since I’ve taken the time to address on that question, read my answer below:

You’ll get yourself “information overload” by asking this questions. I predict you’ll get tons of marketers rushing their ways to answer you this question.

Practically any business offline can be brought online. But for a quick answer, I’ll break down the whole internet business into 4 major businesses that are the most popular at this point of time:


# Affiliate Marketing
# Ebay
# MLM
# Blogs/Article Marketing

All these different businesses have earn their standing on the internet throughout the tested time. No doubt you can earn a living, or even quit your day job if you are really successful, but it all comes to having some hard work by learning some marketing skills and doing a lot of research/studies on the particular field you are interested. Just do a Yahoo search and you’ll get as much information as you want, take your time!

I suggest you don’t jump into any get-rich scheme or hop around every opportunities you thought can make you money, instead you’ll only get yourself losing money or wasting precious time.

You should start off by asking yourself 3 questions:


# What am I interested in?
(Most commonly known as your hobbies or any activity you like to do during your free time…)
# What skills or knowledge do I have?
(Maybe you are good in cooking, excellence in playing golf, have a nice singing voice…)
# What resources you have?
(Can be your money, time or even some old junks which people consider antiques that you can actually sell on ebay…)

I hope this help you as well as the people reading this, because for me, I’ve wasted too much time and money trying to figure out a way online to earn some quick cash. That’s why anyone who try to start online without any directions will follow the same path like me…

For me, I feel that it’s easier to answer a question than to ask a question.

How about you?
