My First Online Sale

Fri, Dec 4, 2009

An Online Business

I am so happy. I made my first affiliate sale the other day and it certainly has validated my belief that one can make money on the internet. There have been times when I wasn’t sure this would ever happen. Fear is what keeps people from following through on their beliefs and that can cycle against your potential if you let it.

Hey, making money online really works.

I’ve been exploring, learning, working, connecting, and making friends in Internet Marketing for about eight weeks now.

I got into Internet marketing by accident. I was forced into retirement recently after working 35 years in corporate America. No security there. I was too young to retire. I started thinking about starting a consulting business and sell myself as a manufacturing consultant. So, I thought I would get a website and simply advertise myself there.

I started looking to build a website. I really thought I would pay someone to build one for me. In doing so, I ran into all kinds of hype about people making substantial income online. I couldn’t stand it and wanted to find out the truth about online leverage and making money on the Internet.

I now know it works.

I am learning what it takes to make money online. It is not a get rich quick venture. You must work hard to learn, be patient, have faith in yourself, follow good advice and ignore bad advice.

And to a large extent, it must be something you’re hungry for. I didn’t know I was.  I sure found out quick enough.  I learned so much in two months.  I think I was living under a rock before that.

I read somewhere that it takes no guts to be skeptical. But it takes a lot of guts to believe in yourself. That belief re-enforces your potential and moves you to take action. Taking action is what gives you the result and the result feeds your belief system. And it then cycles all over, again and again. Some say that is what separates the rich from the poor.

When you recognize this, it is like finding the map to King Solomon’s mine. There are many out there who know what I’m just now learning. But I know I can do this as well as anyone else.

So I have made some progress and it is exciting. Follow me as I unravel this mystery and share with you how to do it too. For now, just know I learned that it takes belief and action.

Jerry.

    Jerry,

    Congratulations on this! As I’ve mentioned in my e-mail, I’m still a baby at Internet marketing, but will follow your advice and just learn, stay focus, work hard, persevere and just not give up. Looking forward to sharing my first online sale when that happens. Keep in touch!
