Stories abound, apocryphal or not, of new internet millionaires.  Most of
these stories are true experiences but for everyone who makes it on the
internet there are another 10 or more who don't.  So what is the secret?

There isn't one really!  What success on the internet consists of is true
dedication to your chosen program.  Forget all the SPAM offers of $10,000
per month and instant success.  There is no such thing!!!  I know this from
my own experience!

I have been an internet user for 3 years, have spent a small fortune on
rubbish programs and chasing guaranteed instant riches.  I learned the hard
way .. through my fast emptying pocket!!  After becoming disabled in a car
smash 6 years previous, having no employment and no income other than a
social welfare pension, I had to find some means by which to earn money!
The PC and internet connection was my answer but I could little afford the
disappointments.

Now don't get me wrong!  There are ordinary, everyday people like you and I,
making vast amounts of money via the internet.  Even newbies who have
latched on to the right program at the right time are making $3,000 per
month and more.  The internet, even with all it's pitfalls, is still the
fastest and best way to earn a residual income.

Right now, today, is the most exciting time for the new internet
entrepreneur.  If only the opportunities available today had been available
to me 3 years ago .. but that's in the past.  The future is bright, the
future is exciting!!

So what do I need to do in order to make it? I hear you say.  Finding the
program that is right for you is the first step.  This should be ideally
something that you can identify with, something you sincerely believe in.
If you don't believe in your product how then can you morally promote it to
others?

That is the next step to success .. promote, promote, promote!!!  Advertise,
advertise, advertise!!!

Normally you can expect to spend at least 2 hours per day on the above.  A
lot of it can be done for free but you will get better results through paid
advertising and promotions.  A warning though .. it will be very frustrating
for you to pay out say $50 for an advert and you see no immediate results.
But don't give up!  Giving up is the curse of the internet marketer!
Persist at what you're doing.  When you see that first email message
informing you of a new signup, or sale if you have your own product, you'll
be hooked.  All the hardship will have been worth the effort and you'll be
on the road to success.

Why is today the most exciting time to begin an internet entrepreneurship?
The answer to that is simple!  The companies of the world have caught on to
the power of internet advertising and are now paying you to look at their
ads.  What could be simpler than this?  Even building a downline in these
programs couldn't be easier.  All you need to do is refer family, friends
and the guys next door because who can refuse free money?  And all at
absolutely no cost to themselves .. ever!!

Is this a success story?  It is in one way because I am at last earning
money from my internet enterprises.  There is still a long, long way to go
before I can say that I'm truly a success.  First I have to recoup my
losses.  What I wanted to do here is to share a little of my experiences,
show you the pitfalls and point the way forward.

Persistence is the key to success!

Thank you for allowing me to pass on my experiences to you.
