Fast Track Your Journey to Internet Home Business Success

Fast Track Your Journey to Internet Home Business Success
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy


No one has ever logged onto the Internet for the first time
and started pocketing dollars in a really short period of
time. As with all things in life, there is a learning
curve.

SOME PERSONAL HISTORY

Just a few short years ago, I was a working stiff just like
you.

One day, I bought and read a book called "Multiple Streams
of Income" by bestselling author, Robert Allen.
Immediately, I began my journey.

Every night after work and after my wife and children went
to sleep, I would get online and explore different ways of
using the Internet to make money.

In the two years that followed, I spent over $10,000 racking
up credit card debt buying eBooks, membership sites, special
reports, opt-in leads, and joining every "guru"
recommended business opportunity that flew into my email
inbox.

I stayed up learning, working, and drinking coffee until
5:00 in the morning, month after month filled with the hope
of making money online.

In my third year of working part-time to build a home based
income, I finally broke through and earned over $100,000 in
just twelve months from the Internet.

BECOME THE MASTER OF YOUR LEARNING CURVE

Research the lives of all of the "gurus." The one thing
that you will learn is that my own experience is not unique.
Most of the high earners on the Internet experienced a
learning curve very similar to my own.

Chances are that your curve will also be similar to mine,
but it is my hope that you can get to the top faster than
even I did. Three years was a long time to struggle, but
every ounce of struggle was worth the reward I have finally
received.

In order to shorten your own learning curve, you must do a
few things differently than the rest of us did. You must
become the master of your learning curve.

THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS A STRAIGHT LINE

There is only one way to shorten the curve on the Internet:

You must plan to succeed!

Here is the deal. Most people put up a freebie website and
select a few affiliate programs to add to their website.
Right out of the gate, most people are running for the
finish line without any real plan in mind.

After a few short weeks, people begin to see the writing on
the wall that says, "This is going to be a long hard
road."

People check their hit counters daily for six weeks before
they realize that getting traffic to their free site is
going to be tough.

At this point, they begin developing their first batch of
advertising. Then they spend countless months finding places
to show their advertisements for free. Some make an even
more drastic mistake by blowing thousands of hard earned
dollars on their new and untested ads.

These are the people who will learn the facts of life the
hard way.

In time, they will learn how to make their advertising work
for them, but most will earn very little money from their
affiliate programs.

At this point in the learning curve, most people throw up
their hands and walk away from their dreams in utter
disgust. Instead of a walking away point, this should have
convinced the struggling online entrepreneur that they were
simply traveling the wrong road.

YOU MUST PLAN TO SUCCEED

From day one, you must begin to learn about the nuances of
web promotion. Read everything you can get your hands on.
Don't just read the hype, back it up with the opinions of
others who have reviewed the same programs before you came
along. Learn from their mistakes and successes.

As you begin to learn, you must also look to make a
decision. Do you want to step into a pre-built program that
is designed to help you to succeed, OR do you want to create
a completely new program of which you are the sole owner?

If you decide to step into a pre-designed and complete
turn-key online money-making venture, then you must select
the right venture to step into. If this is your decision, I

If you decide to go the journey on your own, then do all of
the necessary research, planning and preparation that is
needed for your success.

PREPARE TO SUCCEED

Decide what you think you would want to do, and then figure
out how your planned site will generate a real income.

Internet old-timers know about hundreds of corporation
domains that existed with IPO millions, but did not have an
actual money plan that could sustain their business model.
Most of these companies were among the hundreds of companies
that bellied up in the 2000 dot bomb experience.

Don't blindly believe in your plan. Research others on the
web who have undertaken similar business models and see if
they have survived. Study your competitors in depth to learn
what is working for them and what did not work for them. To
better understand what has or has not worked for competitor
websites, check out their time lapsed progressions using the

Once you have determined your money plan, then you should
undertake the development of a business plan and a marketing
plan. Utilize professional assistance if you need to do so.
While creating your plans, make a determination as to which
domain name you think would be best, then register it along
with a hosting account. You can do this at Host4Profit:

Once you have developed your business plan and marketing
plan and have run them through several revisions, then it
will be time to buy your domain name and to begin work with
a site designer and developer. You may need to have your
domain sitting on a web host for your site developer, but
this is not always necessary. While they are doing their
work, enlist a copywriter to help you with your site sales
copy.

When your site designer and developer have your site
working, you should then undertake significant testing to
make sure everything works as planned. It is much harder to
fix problems on a operational site than it is to fix
problems on a site that has yet to be launched.

When testing is done, then you should fill in your sales
copy and then shoot for launch. Of course, you already have
a marketing plan in place, so your preparation here will be
simply a matter of putting the pieces of the puzzle into
place.

You are finally ready to open for business. Don't be afraid
to spend the money to bring your dream alive. Time can
replace money in the goal of starting a profitable online
business, but money invested can shave years off of your
company's growth.
