8 Proven Steps to Success Online
Most people are very skeptical about starting a business online simply because they don’t really believe that making money online is a real thing.
Some other people have been scammed in the past which is another reason for being skeptical.
Actually, starting an online business and making money from it, is absolutely possible and there is no any strong argument to say the opposite.
Online world is not different from real world, if you have a product or service, that means you can promote it and make sales. But having a product or a service alone is not enough.
You need to accomplish a few things and in this article I’m going to show you exactly what to do and how to do to achieve success online. And what I’m going to show is based on both my experience and the experience of other successful internet marketers that I know.
1. First off, many people don’t want to start because they think that there is too much competition in any field and that internet is overwhelmed with any sort of information. Yes, I agree that there is an abundance of information on the internet, but this in no way means that there is no room for you. Trust me, there is a room for EVERYONE.
I know many successful internet marketers that are making serious money, but when they started first they were very skeptical. That’s why my advice to you is DON’T be skeptical. If they did, that means you can do the same. And remember that internet is vast and it’s constantly growing and every year more and more people get access to the internet.
2. The only thing you need is.… I bet you’re probably thinking now that I will say.. click the magic button and start making tons of money… NO, I’m not going to say this. You need to be prepared to put some effort and time into your online project BEFORE you see real results.
If you don’t want to work hard then you will never achieve any success online. If you want fast success and a lot of money then I’m going to disappoint you. You then probably need another type of program that promises you this. But be aware that all those programs are SCAMS.
3. When I say about hard work, I mean you need to build a website first. It’s free and you don’t need weeks or months to build it. With the power of wordpress you can build your first website within minutes if not seconds. Just choose one of the premade templates, choose your domain name (yourwebsitename.com) and click the BUILD button and that’s it. You don’t need to know html coding or any graphic design software.
4. Once you have your website up and running you need to choose a product and start writing about your product or service. Why? Because online business is based on the information and before people buy something on the internet they first read information about products and then buy them. YOU HAVE TO HELP them make the right decision. If you don’t do it, they will buy from other website. Let it be YOU, not others.
5. When you start writing, no one is going to read what you write in the first few months. You might be thinking, why should I write then? Because when you start writing on a regular basis, 2,3 times per week, Google will notice your site. Once you achieve this, Google will start ranking your site. What does ranking mean?
Ranking means that some of your pages will appear in top 10 of Google, Yahoo and Bing search results. Once your site appears there, you will start getting traffic (visitors) and when traffic comes to your site, you will eventually start making sales. The more traffic you have, the more chances that you make sales. But does this mean that all what you’re going to write will appear in top 10? Sure, not.
But some of your pages WILL. And remember that some of your pages can bring you a full time income. The same applies to all websites. You will never find a website that has all its pages ranked in top 10, only some of them do. That’s how the system works.
6.When you write, you must give your article a captivating title to engage people from the very start. Never be scientific and write in simple and interesting style to keep your readers attention. And don’t fear to start writing. You don’t need to be an expert to write about something. Read my stuff on my website and you will realize that I’m not a professional writer. I write what I know and this is my voice and you have your voice.
7. When you start your online business you should know that it’s not going to be easy if you think so. You need to put a lot of effort and time into your business before you start seeing serious money in your bank account. You have probably watched some “amazing” videos on YouTube or on crappy sites that promise naive people an overnight success. They are lying to you.
It will not happen overnight. It didn’t happen overnight for me too and I don’t know anyone (though I know many successful internet marketers) who’s started to make money overnight. You need to give it enough time to see real results and start making money on a regular basis. I would say, on average it requires 1 full year of hard work before you start making regular sales and 2 years to start making a few thousands per month.
This is absolutely real and this is what I know based on real life experience from many successful internet marketers. If you don’t give it enough time you will NEVER see real results from your online efforts and unfortunately, most people quit after 3,4 months. Those few that work hard and are persistent THEY make money and you need to understand this game from the very beginning.
8. The last and the most important step to online success is choosing the right program that can really help you accomplish all the steps mentioned in this article. If you choose the wrong program you will waste your time and money.

like to find out where u got this from. many thanks
Oh my goodness!
Rufat,
I love that you are not talking hype here. Just good old common sense and good work ethic. My favorite point you make is #7. I have personally been guilty of this. Like many many others I have quit too soon only to find out that if I had endured and persisted a little longer I would have had some great results.
Thanks for the great article!
Thank you Joe for commenting on my post. I always try to be honest with my visitors because if you are honest you can build trust around your brand (website) over time. Many people will appreciate it and after having being scammed by other sites they will be happy to know that there are sites that don’t lie to them. I think they must know before getting into the program what they can expect from it and what internet marketing is all about. This will help them make an informed and firm decision and also save them from scams. If you are starting online you must be self-motivated and goal oriented and if you can’t the internet marketing is not for you.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my post. Glad to know you liked my post. You are absolutely right that with so many labelling it a scam, creates a lot of doubt around any opportunity, even if it’s legitimate. Everyone wants to find legit opportunity to be able to achieve success online, but unfortunately, with so many scams online, it’s really hard to find the right program. And I’m happy to know that you have been lucky to find it because it’s the same program that helped me to build my business.
I too was very skeptical when I started with an Online Business. After hearing so many labeling it a scam, it’s bound to create some doubt. But still wanted to check it out myself.
When I first came across WA with such great reviews on its free Membership, that was the ticket that started it all. Within this Community, so many of my doubts were cleared up and I’ve learned so much.
It is a legit option, with a bit of patience and a commitment to work, your rewards will be great later on.
Love your post, thanks for sharing.
