Ways To Making Money From Your Passions

By Thomas L Russo

To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don't just jump right in unprepared.

The same thing applies to the Internet marketing world even though there are sharks out there who'd have you believe it's as "Easy as falling off a log" and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

And I'll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a underling to someone who does not have your best interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and down falls you must avoid to really make Internet marketing work for you.

A lot of people will not make a cent online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is this?

My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, "what comes first the chicken or the egg"? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no clue and I don't think many of us do either.

But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

Passion in this meaning means that you've researched the company and and like the products or services it provides. It is then that you translate that Passion or like into the learning, excitement and work that very often accompanies Passion.

I must say that a lot of online entrepreneurs are really so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything they want to. But I'm concerned about those of you who don't have a knowledgeable understanding of working an online business with success.

Now, I'm not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join - but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.

It follows that, if you don't have a Passion for the company and the services and products that are provided by the company, you won't try to do the work you are asked to learn.

Internet marketing work is generally not all that difficult or takes a lot of time but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you up and running with a concerted effort so that you won't fall.

You have a great resource in the Internet search engines such as Google to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, PLEASE USE IT!

In doing your research you should discover a company that you like and will have confidence in. It should be founded on great principles, solid, and easily to understood with terrific products and services that are sell-able for which you can have Passion. If you don't find it move on, you will I'm sure find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above. It just takes a bit of time and patience

Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the money looks good so I guess I'll start that business - does not sound like a decision based on anything like Passion. And please remember when you hear that an Internet "guru" does that, don't be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate about the company products and services.

Note: By the way it's your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.

Remember, When you step into Internet Marketing there are other steps you must take, but if you can't first find that right company with products and services that you can be passionate about, then all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of trouble instead of bringing you a great result.

By not being Passionate about a company and it's products and services that has proven it's self in the market that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.
