3 False Ideas about Making Money Online You Must Get Over

The pessimist says it is impossible but the optimist knows it can be done. If you examine the character and personality of those who have succeeded as internet marketers you will find that they are people who are optimistic about life, and in many cases they have overcome many hurdles to achieve success. These people are individuals who didn’t listen to the nay sayer, but rather, they believed that everything is possible. Our limitations in life are often self-imposed by the attitudes and belief systems we adhere too.
Failure can be a habitual cycle that we fall prey to if we continue believing that it can’t be done, but on the other side of the spectrum success is also a matter of habit.
We hear it all the time, “the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer”. I believe the rich get richer because their psyche is moulded toward success, and the poor have surrendered to the belief that they will always be poor. Of course, there are many other variables like opportunity and level of education that affects a person’s standard of life, but I have heard many stories of how people have beaten the odds and made a success out of nothing at all.
Making money online and succeeding as an internet marketer is dependent on your mindset. If you believe it can’t be done in all likelihood you will fail in this industry, but if you take a leaf out of the lives of the successful internet marketers you will know that success is achievable and that you can reach the pinnacle of success as well. There are many myths and false beliefs about this industry and in this article I will like to dispel these myths.

Myth 1: You Need Money To Make Money
An obstacle is as high or low as you want it to be. If you believe you can’t succeed as an internet marketer because you don’t have the resources or capital to start-up then you are erecting the obstacle higher than it should be. There are many avenues you can take in the online industry that will not cost you a dime. Affiliate marketing is the most popular segment of internet marketing that requires no upfront costs. As an affiliate marketer your role is to promote a vendors product in return for a commission that is received for every sale or lead you attract. It is like an estate agent who gets paid a commission for selling a house. But the difference is that your promotional activities can be done without any cost by utilizing various free mediums.

Myth 2: Internet Marketing is an Unethical Industry
I heard a story the other day on a popular Internet Marketing forum about an online marketer whose friends all believe he is an online scammer. No matter what he does to explain the industry to them they continue to have this idea entrenched in their minds that internet marketing is an unethical industry filled with scammers. While there are deceptive marketers in this industry just as there are unethical business people in the offline world, there are also multitudes of ethical, honest and upright individuals who carry out all their business activities above board.

Myth 3: You Need To BeTech Savvy To Succeed
While possessing specialized technical knowledge does have its advantages it is not a necessity. You don’t need to be a computer programmer, or a graphic designer to be able to succeed. There are many internet marketers out there who have absolutely zero technical ability, but they have still managed to establish thriving online businesses. Technical aspects can always be outsourced for pennies, but technology has become so advanced that systems have been developed to simplify tasks like web design and graphic design. Anyone, even a child can design a website or a header with relative ease because of the user-friendly interfaces that have been designed especially for those who are not technically gifted.
These are just a few of the negative myths that exist with regard to internet marketing, and there are many more. If you have been on the fence contemplating whether or not to try your hand in the online industry, I want to encourage you by letting you know that you can succeed and earn a decent Income as an internet marketer , but you will need to firstly set aside the negatives you might have heard about online marketing and adopt a positive attitude that says, “I CAN”.
