6. You Shouldn’t Start an Internet Business IF You haven’t asked for advice

Good Advice… That’s the purpose of this article.

You came here seeking information. I want to give you some advice from my years of online experience…

Despite some claims that you can get rich quick doing business online don’t believe the hype.

I’m so sick of the internet gurus looking for ways to take innocent information seekers money.

Have you ever wondered why the internet marketers are presenting so many products?

Ask yourself, if they’re actually making money doing their particular business strategy or using some peice of software, why are they going out of their way to sell it to others?

Here’s why: It’s because they actually make more money selling a product than they do using their internet business strategy.

There’s nothing wrong with selling business ideas to others, the problem is when marketers hype up their sales copy and make altered claims of large income to sell their scheme to new internet marketers.

If you’re interested in a fully Documented, Step by Step, A to Z Conversion System for Online Sales see my new website about the NO HYPE  Total Conversion Code.

My advice… Find one or two marketers you trust and don’t buy every product you run across on the internet.

Here’s what to do once you find a person you can trust:

Pay him to personally mentor you to ensure you get good business advice

Here’s how to tell if you can get good advice from an internet business coach:

• Make sure he’ll take you and your questions seriously
• Find out the persons area of expertise, is it in an area that you’d like to work?
• This point goes along with the previous, Don’t look for a friend, look for expertise. Wonderful friends can give stupid advice (because they know nothing about internet marketing)
• Make sure the coach has TIME to invest in you?

Here’s My Internet Business Coaching solution that I can confidently recommend:

Coach Dean- I use him personally and highly recommend his coaching .

He currently has a waiting list for personal coaching but his new course The Total Conversion Code is currently including an extra bonus where you get a free conversion system review from him…plus you can choose to join his group coaching program as part of it.  This is as close as most people can get to coaching directly with him.

7. You Shouldn’t Start an Internet Business if You are Looking To Get Rich Quick

I’ve already touched on this point but you really need to consider what is a decent time frame for making money. You may not get rich quick but you can make money on the internet if you can answer the questions I’m presenting to you in this series in an honest manner.

While we’re talking about time frames I also want to mention that you need to consider the long term ramifications if you wait. I know this sounds like completely opposite advice but those who play now, pay later.

You know it’s true- The longer you wait, the higher the price.

That’s why good sales copy will almost always give you an incentive to ACT NOW!  Again. Check out the Total Conversion Code if you want to find out about more buying motivations.

8. Don’t Begin Doing Business Online if You’re tempted by Greed

I have a good friend who just entered into politics. When he asked me for advice I told him that he should consider this….

Although he is a man of integrity he should be aware that every time someone walks through the door of his office he’ll either be presented with an opportunity to do a good deed or the choice of making a bad decision and doing something selfish or greedy.

I really do think that many internet gurus start out with good intentions.

However, somewhere along the way, they lose sight of their values and succumb to the temptation of a quick dollar thus adding to the growing fleet of dishonest marketers.

As an internet businessman, I’m ashamed that Internet marketers are quickly surpassing lawyers and used car salesman’s reputations when it comes to business integrity.

Here’s one of my articles on honest internet marketers.

My question to you is “If you start an internet business which group will you join?  The good, the bad, or the ugly?

There are just some things in life you need to decide to decide…

Moral issues, Faith,  Family Issues,  Health, Character and Business Ethics and Integrity are among the first values you should have a firm stance on.

9. Don’t Start an Internet Business IF you are Afraid to say No.

Some people just have a hard time saying no. That’s why I love the phrase,

” Just Say No”

Just say no to drugs, Just say No to peer pressure,  and just say no to the countless distracting opportunities to make money online.

In other words… Make One Right Decision and say no to convenient money making decisions.

I talk about finding your purpose all the time on this website. If you find your internet business purpose, you are very likely to make a profit online.

Here’s some tips on how to say yes to internet business success and no to convenient distractions:

Ask yourself:

• Is this business decision consistent with my priorities, passions and purpose?
• Is the business in the area of my giftedness?
• Will I help others with my business? Not only that, but can I make a profit while meeting a markets desire? See point number 5 in my previous article
• Did I get advice from my internet business coach?

Finally, Here’s my number one tip when deciding if you should start an Internet Business….

10. If You Haven’t Prayed about an Online Business, Then Don’t Do It!

Ask God For Advice. I’m not going to get into a bunch of religious issues here  Mainly because I don’t care for religion, I am saying that you should have a relationship with God, so much so that you can validate your decision in prayer.

This one tip, asking God, has changed my life and is the biggest reason I consider myself successful.

Here’s the benefit of praying when making business decisions:

Bonus: How Much Money Can You Make with an Internet Business?

I went ahead and decided to add this bonus question to this article because it’s already a long blog post and if you’ve read this far then It’s probably because you’re still have the question of making money on your mind.

Now consider this when you think about making money online. How much money do you want to make?

Allow me to disclose how much money I make online:

Less than I desire and a lot more than I deserve.

So how much money can you make online?

If you follow my advice in this article and become an honest internet marketer without giving in to greed or hype. You can make a very decent living. In fact, you can fulfill your desires and make more than you deserve.

I hope this article aids you in discovering purpose, passion and profits!
