Building home internet business can either be incredibly painful or it can be a smooth journey.  It’s really up to you.  In either scenario, one thing is certain.  You have to work to make it happen.  Some people work hard and others work smart.  I used to work so hard all day every day trying to figure out this whole work from home industry, becoming cynical beyond belief at how difficult it all was to figure it out.  It’s amazing to me that I now make a full time income working from home, working less than 2 hours a day.  I don’t work hard anymore.  I just work smart.  You don’t need a million hours per week to make this a reality.  You just need to do the RIGHT things .

 

Building Home Internet Business vs. a Workout Plan

---

In a way, building home internet business is like starting a workout plan.  Results don’t happen overnight.  They happen over time.  In the next few weeks, I’ll have completed the famous P90X workout.  My body is really transforming in a way I haven’t seen for years.  I’ve completed this EXACT P90X workout twice before and I didn’t get these results.  Why?  Because I didn’t want it bad enough those other times.  I cheated just a little bit on the eating plan.  I didn’t push myself hard enough on specific workouts.  I left out the abs routine.  See, when you just sort of do something, the results you’ll get will reflect your efforts.

 

A Solid Plan Is Everything

Here’s the awesome thing though.  The P90X has a rock solid PLAN in place.  So, anyone who can follow that plan and stay consistent with it WILL get results.  It would be almost impossible NOT to get results with a plan like that.  Well, the same goes for running a home business.  I swear every single marketer and his mother claims to have access to the next best thing in the world that will make you rich overnight.  From my experience, all of these fancy get rich quick biz opps are here today and gone tomorrow.  I see it happen on a regular basis.  If you want to be successful building a home internet business, you need a solid plan that has been proven and tested.

Step by Step:  How To Build A Home Based Business

That’s why I joined the Wealthy Affiliate community.  I came to realize that all those biz opps that claim to make you rich overnight, probably CAN make you some great money, but the one thing that’s missing from them is a set of instructions that teaches you exactly what you need to do to make it happen.

A solid and proven plan is probably the most important part of the process of making money online, and that’s why I love WA.  They teach you step by step how to build a home based business from the ground up.  When I learned  that, I was immediately interested.  Learning and mastering SEO I truly believe is one of the smartest and most important things an online marketer can do to build a long lasting career.

The Problem With Instagram, Facebook, and Craigslist

I’ve made great money on Instagram, Facebook, and Craigslist.  That’s awesome and all, but I have no idea when any of these platforms will spontaneously combust and disintegrate into cyberspace.  Again, this is exactly why I joined WA.  Having your own website that brings in money for you day in and day out is way more fun than worrying about whether or not Craigslist is going to flag all your ads leaving you with no money to be made.  See, having your own website means no one can mess with you.  You have complete control and if you do things right, you’ll eventually bring in some awesome money consistently too.
