We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
This subject is familiar to many solo entrepreneurs. Yet you will rarely see it discussed openly. It isa side effect of selling a good product. Sort of a "bonus" that comes with being successful.Once in a while I get an e-mail that reads along theselines:"Send me your product first. If satisfied, will pay.Too many scams out there. Prove that you're not."or "Help me make it happen for me, then I will send youmy payment."or better yet"I am a poor man from South Africa. Praying to Godthat you will send me ALL of your products for free.I want you to be my guide, my coach, my mentor...and have it in your heart not to charge me untilI start making money."At first, I thought, what the heck - his $40 will not makeme any richer, and would send the person my productsfree of charge. Especially since these e-books didn'tcost anything to deliver.But after a while, as my online business grew and trafficto my web sites increased, I started getting similare-mails about once a week. People would ask meto send them my products for free, and when theystart making money on the Internet, they would send metheir payment.What is going on? Can you imagine writing to Bill Gates,asking for a free PC, promising to pay as soon as itstarts turning profits?Or how about a free college tuition? "Let me go to schoolfor a year, if I learn something new, I will pay".Now, some of these claims may be true and sincere. Manypeople do not have the money to start their online venture.What should they do if that's the case?The answer is easy: self-education. That is how I started,and that's how most successful but low-budget ventures begin.Subscribe to 10-15 different web marketing e-zines publishedby reputable authors, and read each issue thoroughly, with amarker in your hand.Visit popular Internet Marketing forums, participate infree teleclasses offered by gurus, download and read freee-books on the subject.Spend a few hours a week browsing the Internet for websites of companies in your target area - learn whatthe competition is doing.Always keep in mind - it's either TIME or MONEY. If youdon't have one, invest the other.
