When I first started trying to make money online I had some pretty quick successes. I figured out what people were looking for, I created this product, and then I put together a sales page.
I listed it on eBay and I sold my first item less than an hour later. That was July 2006. I felt empowered by this sale and continued making similar products, all of which sold VERY well on eBay.
The money was rolling in, and to say I was happy would be an understatement. But then something very odd happened. In an effort to take my earnings to the next level I started reading about internet marketing when ever I could.
And all of a sudden, and without even realizing, I found myself completely distracted from the first business that had proved so successful. When I look back now even I don’t know quite what happened.
One minute I was flying high selling niche products on eBay, and the next I was knee deep reading ebook after ebook. And all the while I neglected my profitable business in the search of instant online riches.
It was almost as if I got caught up in a whirlwind of hype and internet marketing secrets, and instead of concentrating on building a successful business model, I was chasing this illusionary dream of fast cars and fancy apartments.
And it was all the more frustrating because before I got distracted I had a solid business model that was working. And I neglected this business while chasing after invisible shadows, and ebooks full of hype.
I came out the other side of course, and I’m now doing very well for myself. But the message I learned from my experience is this. Building a business online is exactly the same as building any kind of business.
Find a product that’s in demand and then offer that product to a hungry market. Do this and there’s a good chance you can make money, online or offline.
The real secret to making money online is that you need to take the same offline business principles and apply them to your e-business. Sure, the rules might be a little different, but the core business principles are the same.
Remember this “secret” and stop chasing dreams, and you’ll double your chances of success overnight.

Lee,
Love your approach out of all else that i have seen or read about. Never did like the hard sell approach. I too want to find or produce a product of value to others and gladly give it away. I still need help. Should i post somthing on my ebay site or a new web site?
I am moving around in unfamiliar territory right now.
Thanks,
John Schmidt
