Internet Marketing: Does it Give You the Time You Want?

Internet Marketing is basically earning a living online. Some people do very well at it, actually earning a substantial amount of money. Others may make some extra money that compliments their day job. However, most people do not make any money and most even end up losing money. The failure rate with any type of start up businesses is very high. So what is it that makes people want to try an online business?

Many people equate owning their own business with having the time to do what they want when they want. After all they are now the boss and can do what they want when they want. Of course their business will likely suffer and eventually they will not have a business, but they did want they wanted.

Being in business is not about time freedom. It's about earning a living. And to do that requires work. In reality, owning your own Internet Marketing business means you will actually be working more than you did when you worked for someone. It's just one of the facts of being in business for yourself. It takes time and lots of it.

The one benefit with regards to time is that you now have control of your time. This means that if you have to take time off for whatever reason, you usually can. But, you must realize that any time away from your business will certainly have to be made up. So this means you will put in some extra time in the evenings or early morning, or even on the weekend.

If you have been led to believe that being in business, especially an online business, is easy and you will have all the time in the world to do what you want, think again. You are being mislead. We all want to have that time freedom, but for the majority of us it just isn't a reality. We all have to work, either for someone else or ourselves.

So, if you are thinking about starting an Internet Marketing busines, or any business for that matter, do not think that it will give you the time freedom to do as you wish. Be prepared to be working many more hours than you did before. That is if you plan on building a successful business. We all have the same amount of time in a day and we have to use it wisely. If not, we end up wasting our time, and time is too precious to do that.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
Internet Marketing Conference on SLife Internet Marketing Conference on SLife - I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways.. a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak. Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc.. Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL. There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach - Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great. Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way, best wishes, Mal.
Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? - Hi Kevin, I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.
Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Everyone, 2009 is a new year and I'd like to create a new forum category to jazz things up! In the past, there's been some interest voiced about adding a "Social Media Marketing", "Online Marketing", "Internet Marketing" or "Online Promotion" category. I'll implement [u:1g2tv6tf]ONE[/u:1g2tv6tf] of those new categories, but can someone first tell me what the difference would be between the existing "Marketing" section and one of those new options mentioned above? Thanks
