How To Make Money Online? - Change The Question
Seriously, this question has no secrets.
It’s a question that I find challenging because it’s not what you should focus on nor should it be a goal you chase.
The making money part happens at the end, not the beginning.
You’re going to probably hate me for what I’m about to write, but if you take the time to understand it, then you’ll actually have a chance to make money online.
There are only three steps to make money online:
1. Decide On One Thing & Lock It In
Do you love blogging online, selling stuff online, creating videos about a particular topic or writing code?
What do you know lots about or would learn about for free?
The hardest part is deciding on the one thing you’re going to do online.
Think carefully because once you’ve chosen the field, you must stick to it.
It should be something you’re already doing or have been obsessed with.
Forget how big the audience is or how good you are at it.
When you have your one thing, lock it in.
2. Put in The Work For a Long Period
Okay, this is the most important part and I'm sure many of you may hate when I say this.
This one and only step that is ignored by almost everyone who want to make money online.
You can’t avoid it, it sucks, some days it will make you cry and you’ll have to miss a few warm chicken dinners with friends.
This is the only thing someone who wants to make money online ever need to do (and continue doing)
Do it for a year, two years, five years or for life straight without thinking about money, results, reach, marketing plans, podcasts or any other distractions.
Start with that crap article, write 100 more of that kind. (your 100th article probably will be your best one)
No matter how bad you may be at the start, it will be inevitable that after that many hours of focus you would develop some half-assessed skill that could make you a few bucks online.
Going through the ups and downs and just sticking at it is 91% of what it takes to make money online.
3. There Are No Answers
When these success seekers want to chat about making cash online, they ask for the answers.
They assume that if they have the answers at the start, then they’ll succeed.
There are no answers though because everyone’s situation is different.
Like many of you, I had no clue about affiliate marketing, wealthy affiliate or WordPress when I started.
The answers and what I should do came to me as I put the work in.
It’s the truth and I hope you appreciate it.
As you do your ‘one thing’ you’ll figure out all the hidden details and stuff you don’t know at the start.
The answers will come because the information is free and Google will give it to you once you know what you’re searching for.
4. Don’t Focus on Money
The biggest mistake someone who aspires to start a profitable online business could make is to focus on money.
That’s why, how to make money online is a ridiculously stupid question that causes most people who seek to answer it, experience a tidal wave of failure.
Change the question from:
‘How to make money online?’
to
‘How to do one thing online repeatedly for the next 955 days or until death?’
Final Thoughts
1. Do one thing
2. Do it for years without stopping
3. Answers will come
You can make money online.
Change the question.
And then go do it.
Thanks,
