6 Principles For Making Money Online Especially For Newbie’s.

I use the word principles here because of its emphasis. What I mean is I could use tips, or rules but rules are broken and tips are ignored. Principles are something you really need to do if you want to succeed online. You also need to be consistent in using these principles on a daily basis.

Whether it’s a Home Business, Niche, or Retail Store the following principles apply.

1. Mentoring or Consulting is crucial especially if you are just starting out. Do your research using the search engines and digg.com and make sure you are specific. In other words if your niche is pet products your search term might be (mentoring for a pet store). Use several search engines and very the words for the best results.

2. Support: You must be able to contact your Mentor or Consultant. Phone is best and online meeting works great. Many affiliate mentoring programs have a support system and your questions are answered in 24 hours. It is impossible for anyone to handle 1000 phone calls a day. Test the waters first before they get your money. If they have a trial membership that’s great it will give you time to test their support system. Do not give any affiliate program or mentorship program the time of day if their contact or support system is slow.

3. Training: Video Training is the best. Many programs with video give you the ability to look over the shoulder of your Mentor or Coach. It is better if you are able to print out the script and follow along. The training must be simple and easy to follow, with a short and complete marketing system. Seminars and Conference calls are very good as well.

4. Type of Programs: You will have a ton of choices depending on your interest. I only do Affiliate products. I only market membership products and I will tell you why. I want residual income so that I can take a day off whenever I want to and still make money. That is the beauty of working from home. I don’t like working more than four hours a day, that’s all the time I can stand being on a computer. Remember working from home takes half as long to make twice the money.

5. Attitude: It is very important that you have a can do attitude. If you are worried all the time that you will fail, you will. Keep a positive attitude and if you don’t succeed the first time, don’t quit. Try something different! There are plenty of opportunities out there that are legit. Do not let the naysayers around you influence you. It’s better if you do not tell your friends and family until you are making money.

6. Investment: It all depends on what you have decided to do online. You have to do the research first before you decide what type of online program you do whether it be Retail Store, Affiliate Programs, or MLM. If you can’t afford to loose the money, don’t invest it. There are a number of great programs out there and there are many programs where the vultures are there waiting to steal your money. You can Google any program or business and you will see many articles written about their history. When you find a program that has more than 2 complaints, don’t bother. Although there will always be some people complaining and for the most part they are people who want a free ride, but don’t take any chances. There will be an investment of some kind. You can’t start your own business with out investing some money.

Like I said before, I market affiliate programs that have a membership so I have money coming in whether I work or not. Now you can market these programs and you do not have to be a member. You make a little less money but if money is an issue you can join later for the higher commission. I have done this on many occasions. Do what ever you have to to get started, but do get started.
