Is There A Secret To Making Money Online?

By Howe Russell


One of the biggest cliche's in the home business industry is the belief that you can't make money online until you learn the hidden secret formula. You'll hear folks in every affiliate program saying this, whether it's empower network, avon or any other established company.

But what are those secrets? Do they even exist? The truth may be much easier than you think.

This belief has started what is essentially now a home business in it's own right. Instead of working with product drive companies like the affiliate marketing days of old, you'll see many affiliates who brand themselves and online business coaches and spend their time promoting training packages teaching others how to reach success.

Rather than working as affiliates within companies, many people choose to stay independent and brand themselves as online business coaches. They offer training packages and guidance. This not only eliminates the main issue in home business for them, which is retention, it also means that they can cash in on the sheer volume of confused folks trying to build a secondary income online.

You'll undoubtedly hear folks telling you that you need to learn the latest social media techniques, combine them with the latest video marketing knowledge and cutting edge capture page creation. However, there is one simple rule when it comes to earning a living from the internet.

The real key to success is consistency.

It would be easy to spend a fortune on training courses and learn the inside and outside of social media, search engine optimization or video networking. Anybody could do that, and many people actually do. But if you are not consistent with your efforts you won't see any change in your results.

You see, the main problem in the home based business industry is not that you don't have the skill or the potential to create success. In fact, one of the main factors which works in this industry's favor is that literally anybody can do it. So why do so many people struggle?

Those who work harder tend to see better results. Don't forget, this is the same type of business you'd expect if you opened up a store or a car wash service. The only difference is that it's based on your laptop. If you don't work hard you won't get far.
Learn the very simple secret to success with an online business such as empower network in today\'s video.


It's not unusual to see individuals in any home business who are receiving a lot of recognition and attention while more skilled, naturally gifted salesmen struggle to get anywhere near the same amount of notice. This is because they are taking the time to build their own brand, consistently adding new content to their ever-growing material and establishing themselves as the top dog in their niche.

Most people do a little bit of work and then let their momentum fizzle out. You don't need to be the best at something in order to reach the pinnacle. If you're currently involved in a home based business opportunity and finding that results are hard to come by, then take a look at your current routine. Do you have one? Try setting aside 1-2 hours each day to work on building your business. After 5-6 months of this type of consistent effort you will notice a considerable difference.

Which affiliate program you work with is entirely up to you, but the primary rule remains the same. Whether you opt for an empower network, Avon or Mary Kay depends on your personal taste. However, if you truly hav the ambition to make money online you will need to be consistent in your efforts, otherwise you are simply wasting your own time.
