"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

If you’ve been in the Internet Marketing arena for more than 3 months or even 6 months, then good for you. It doesn’t necessary mean that you’re making good money, but simply means that you’re persistent and committed to what you’re doing for your online venture.
I’ve read a report quite some time ago and was taken back when I saw that the 3rd month is when most Internet Marketers drop out.
If you think about it, the reason is very simple. Those who dropped out are those who did not have the motivation to move on in the business, especially when they fail to see monetary results.
Most newbies are taught to start off by creating products from their field of interest. However, unless you’re highly motivated, already have a product in mind or guided step-by-step, it may not work for you. Before you market you’re product, you’ll be doing various time intensive tasks such as:
Keyword research
Product creation
Website creation
Writing salescopy
Creating autorespondant email series and etc..
And all the above processes do not make you money, you make money only when you start marketing the product.
Personally, I feel that newbies should start out with affiliate marketing, which is marketing other people’s product. In this case, all you need to do is simply to drive traffic to other people’s website and get a cut of the commission on every sales made. After you’ve made the money, you can start thinking about creating your own products. Even if you do not have a product in mind, you could very well be sharing your experiences on how you make your first buck online.
No matter which direction you take, you can be successful if you do things the right way and the smart way.
