  1. Wow – a whole post and no mention of you know what ! BTW I’ve put you on my blogroll on my sharescity.com site – not sure if it’s any use as it’s stock market stuff but I guess it can’t do any harm GB

    GB askimet doesn’t like you! I have a short attention span – I couldnt focus on one website for a whole year – as appears to be recommended in product I recently reviewed …

  3. Lis,

    Great post. The hardest part about getting started? Something new/ different sounding will come along and people read about that try a few things and then something new comes along(pattern’s start to form) and before you know it a year went by with very little work.

    You are completely correct on this one Derrick – I wrote this because I had helped confuse a couple of new people in the previous comment-feast post!

  5. It’s not the getting started that’s scary for lots of folks…it’s the weeks that follow and because they haven’t yet mastered the art of affiliate marketing/sales/product reviews/etc., they lose confidence when their Paypal accounts stay at a level value.

    People need to realize that yes, it IS a business, and yes, it takes time and effort. Sadly, lots of individuals will be suckered in by claims of great rewards for zero efforts…

  6. This post has really helped me get stated. Thank you very much lissie! I will be reading all your posts and taking notes:)

  7. Hi Lissie!

    You said; “…what bit is so hard and scary that you can’t get started?” – well that’s easy, “the whole bit!” It’s a lot easier and a whole lot more seductive to just go read another ‘magic bullet’ MMO site than actually start in and do it.

    I bet that very few of your readers will allow their heads to get around your punchline; “…yes, it takes time and effort”.

    @BurnThat – glad to have helped – now get out there and start working cause Rhys is completely right -its much easier just to keep reading make money online blogs!

  9. Greetings,
    I am new to blogging and new to make money online. However I am trying to learn and implement what I have learned (not easy though..)I do not have a mentor yet to guide….Still in search…Meanwhile, I wanted to clarify, regarding submitting article to ezine articles…Can this be something that I have published in my blog or does it have to be brand new one…(might sound like a silly Q….but I am still learning…)Pls advice and THANK YOU a bunch.

  10. Ok, 1 Q answered, now to the next Q, regarding mentoring….do you have any suggestion….I am looking forward to excel in blogging…

    Thank you again.

  11. A lot of people say you just need a strategy to turn your hobby into an income generator. Your example of Ancient Roman Gladiator sport challenges that idea. You got me thinking!!

  12. I would always recommend that you do something that you know and comes naturally. In my case that was creating a blog on blogspot talking about the Investools Scam . Thanks for your time and good luck!

    I have been spending 3 weeks searching for what business should I do, I’m already tired of my 9-6PM job, and I always end up of thinking full time in online business. Your post really helps me to discern about my plan to go full time online entrepreneur.

    I am starting a new blog which at the moment earns $5 dollars, really really bad but with your posts I would check on my niche and hopefully increase my passive income very soon. Thanks a lot!

  15. I’d like to have a house and a car of my own. Being an employee can take forever to reach to my goal. But I don’t want to leave my work, cause I like what I do, so maybe I can start a business on-line on the side. Thank you Lis for all these tips.

  16. This post really sums things up and is a great reference point for someone starting out. An online business has unlimited earning potential. It requires a lot of work. Especially if you are just starting out. There is a lot to learn but the rewards are great.

  17. Your dead on about targeting keywords that bring traffic. Keyword hunting really is an art form, but well worth the time it takes to do properly. Market Samurai is a really good start too.:)

  18. I just wanted to add thanks to this blog post as I have referred many people to it many times.Its the simple and clearly defined posts like this that make all of the difference to people and really encourage them to get started.

  19. I agree that most start-up online entrepreneurs are enthusiastic in the beginning but later on stopped or failed. This is really an enlightening article. Thanks for sharing!
