Looking for the Missing Link?
By Donesia Muhammad 

So you've finally decided to start your home based Internet business. You've heard all the rags to riches stories and it doesn't look like you have to be a brain surgeon to make money so why not? So you go to all the "guru" sites, sign up for their newsletters, buy all the ebooks, you start emailing everyone to tell them about your newfound business. You just know that you'll make around oh, say $1,000 this first week, and a couple more by next week.

But wait a minute...Something's wrong? 

How come I don't see those emails coming in telling me that I made a sale? Those newsletters and ebooks said that it's guaranteed, that it's the same methods they use. 

Did I miss that missing link?

You know what I'm talking about. The link that will show me the exact site that the "gurus" use. The one that tells you of the perfect business, the perfect ebook to resell, and the perfect sales letter. You know the link that will do all the work for you. No set up fees, or monthly fees, just sign up and check your inbox for all the sales pouring in.

Rrring.. that's your alarm clock waking you up from that ridiculous dream that you're living in.

So what made you think that because your business is on the Internet that you don't have to work just as hard as the person who has a physical storefront business. I guess you're the same person that fell for all those telemarketing scams from the '90s!
How are the gurus making money? Through hard work. Guess what... they've been doing this for years, before the Internet became popular. You still have to work hard to become successful. Not everyone has that ambition, or drive to succeed. Do you?

Can you handle:

--the long hours
--the constant writing, and rewriting
--juggling the balance between work and family
--spending all that time perfecting your site only to have your computer crash and having to do it all over again

Will you be able to:
--use common sense marketing methods
--learn to write effective advertising
--use your words for an appealing and visual aid
--handle rejection, pick yourself up and do it all over again

If you are, then welcome to the world of entrepreneurship.

Congratulations...
