Internet Issue

This issue, I would like to share some personal insights with you that I believe will really help you to move forward in your online business goals. The spark of inspiration for this editorial came when I was reviewing the interviews we have conducted for our new private site "Secrets to Their Success" where each month we interview two real people who have had extraordinary success on the Internet.


Each interview tells a real-life story of hard work and dedication, but there are also messages that are not so obvious at first glance. It is these underlying “common threads” that really interested me. I wondered, “What are the common traits shared by these one and two-person Internet business owners that have allowed them to build web sites that generate incomes of $100,000 to $600,000 each and every year?” Since they sell everything from body building programs to designer soaps to courses on day trading, “what” they are selling is important, but it is not the key factor in their success.

Their ages, formal education, or prior knowledge of the Internet did not appear to be relevant to the ability of these men and women to make money online either. The closer I read, the more it became obvious that besides all of the strategies and techniques these people reveal as part of their “success formula,” there are actually three common traits shared by all of their success stories that have allowed them to grow their businesses to generate such extraordinary incomes…


They just plain got started. Most of the people we interviewed had little or no prior knowledge of the Internet. Typically, this was their first Internet business. Some had never even turned on a computer! And that is the first point I want you to know. It doesn’t matter what your knowledge level is when you start — the important point is you need to begin. You don’t have to do everything well. In fact, you don’t have to do anything well when you start! But you have to START. Take the first steps (no matter how small) to move your web site dream into reality. You don’t need to wait until you know “everything.”
