Making Money From Home: Work It Like A Business

Nobody wants to hear this but it's true. Making money takes work! We get caught up in all the hoopla out there in the internet marketing world. It makes our heads spin. I'm guilty of it too. For a long time, I believed every single one of the "gurus" when they said they had the answer to making money at home.

They made it sound so easy. Do this, do that and the money will flow as if your computer is an ATM machine. You've seen the sales pages, right? They are so intoxicating. Then the bubble is burst. Their way only made one person any money. The ones who were telling us the lies.

Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed a little groundswell of change. Some marketers are starting to change their tune. Admitting that we are being lied to. Whoa! I like this new way. The truth for once. How refreshing.

Let's face it. Yes, money is being made online. A lot of it. But only by those who put in the work. There are no magical answers. Yes, years ago, before Google took a good hard look at how people were scamming the public and put an end to it, many marketers went from earning $30,000 a month to $300!

They were outraged. How dare Google do this to them? You know the internet marketers who weren't affected by the Google slap? The ones who did the work. The honest marketers. The ones who didn't go looking for the loopholes. The ones who didn't believe in the black hat methods.

Guess karma works out after all. So if you want to make money online, why not be one of the good guys? It will take longer, perhaps. But you will be building a solid online business that will sustain you for years to come.

Don't give your money away to marketers who are not worrying about your welfare. Do your research. And realize it will take work. Anyone who tries to tell you differently is scamming you.
