You Need Money When? The truth about owning a business.

Hi everyone. Just a few quick words about what happens when you truly need money.

Most scams are actually us scamming ourselves. We tend to go looking for added funds when we need money ASAP or as soon as possible instead of before the need arises or as we start to notice a trend with our income.

Soon we hit a wall. We need money but have no loans to get, we may even have debt, and we might have a eviction notice or foreclosure on our desk.

I wish I could tell you there was a way to instant fast cash for free but that would be a lie. Fact is if you need money fast you need another JOB or a winning lottery ticket. A business takes time to get started and free businesses can be the worst for getting there. A free business like affiliate marketing requires a ton of work to get started just like any paid opportunity online or offline.

The investment is worth the time but you are looking at 3-6 months to get earnings happening based on how hard you work your business. You are looking at a year or more to reach any decent profits and at least 3 years to see life changing amounts. Still this is up to 3 years earlier than you would reach these milestones in an offline business costing a small fortune to get started.

I am not saying give up on WA if you need fast cash but here is the reality. Wealthy Affiliate is a long term solution not a short term fix. Be faithful, be encouraged, and be confident, but don't expect miracles.

Good morning Andy,

Thank you for your blog post, I hope you're doing well.

Very wise words indeed, it takes time to build any business whether it's online or off-line. I guess probably with an online business it can take a few months of work before seeing any results.

Having said this I remember putting up a website on Christmas Day with my Webmaster and making money the following week. Not enough to live off, but encouraging enough to keep going!

I think the biggest thing is consistency, all the successful Internet marketers that I have came across over the years have been consistent. I'm sure that they have failed on many things and yet they have kept moving forward on a daily basis.

There is only one option and that is to keep moving forward.

Wishing you a great Sunday with your family.

Hi Andy, excellent point.

Jay has given webinars on how to market the skills we develop here to help local businesses.

With most companies going online, this opens up opportunities to earn money now. It is possible to use WA for immediate income.

Anyone wanting to create websites for local businesses should do a search in the Live Events to find those webinars.

All the best.

Edwin

Yep, just my luck though my local business started from the skills here is on Local SEO and was set to launch just as Covid-19 shuttered most of the locally owned businesses. Go figure but I may be doing some ready themes and such as well as design work soon.

Thanks for this! The beautiful thing about affiliate marketing is that if you put the work that's need in NOW, you will reap the benefits later, which most likely will be on going. I'm looking forward to learning and growing in this field. I definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have been spending my time learning about this platfrom and all that it offers for my success in the field of affiliate marketing and more. I have found a true "gem" .

Wishing everyone here the best, and know that it will happen being a part of a spectacular community.

It's up to us to make the most of it!

That's so true,
It took me 7 months to make my first €1.00 online from when I became a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate.

During the first 3 months I was lazy and not taking action but I finally took action and worked on my website, then the first commission came on month 7.

So it's not easy, it does take commitment and patience but once you finally do see results, you know that you are on the right track towards long-term future success.

Thank you for the great post.

Thanks for sharing your story. Now that you have success in getting a sale you can rinse, repeat, and scale up your operations to make even more sales. Its a great feeling and it shows the hard work and wait is paying off.

A factual post, every word is spot on. I do treat this more like a hobby if Im being honest, I actually enjoy putting out information of what I've learned over the years on health on my website.
I know not to expect much but it's fulfilling and serves me a purpose to be doing this much and if it serves others, that's a bonus. Great post!

Nice, a hobby is a great way to view the work involved but rest assured for most this business will take time to reach their income goals.
