Internet has grown exponentially over the last decade and it is still rapidly expanding. It has given an opportunity to online visitors to earn an income and make their living. In fact every day people are starting their career online.
They can become blogger, internet marketer, data entry operator, freelance writer etc. Today no one can disagree with the huge potential of Internet. It is not just for fun & entertainment but people are making serious amount of money.
So if you are planning to start your career online then I must bust 6 myths regarding online businesses which are very common.
A Big Scam
Let me bust the first myth about online or Internet business. It is that online businesses are a big scam and there is no money to be made. Well! This is not true and reality is quite different.
I do agree that there are many programs which are online and they are a big scam however there is no doubt that today millions of people are making money through Internet.
The proof is the big companies like Google, eBay, Amazon, Clickbank and Commission Junction, all are actually eCommerce websites. Google Adsense pays around 1.5+ billion dollars every year in cash to bloggers. Clickbank has paid at least 2 billion dollars to affiliate marketers.
So an online business is genuine and it is no scam.
Huge Start up Cost
Next big lie about Internet business is that it needs a lot of capital or investment to start. In fact you will be surprised to know that an online business is the only business which can be started without paying a penny.
Yes, without paying a single dime. You do not need any money to pay employees, buy office space, furniture or stationery. You just need a desktop or laptop with an Internet connection. That is it.
If you want to start as a blogger then go to blogger and get a free blog and start blogging. If you want to start as an affiliate marketer then you can register to Clickbank or Commission Junction and start selling products on your blog.
Everything is free, no start-up cost. Isn’t it amazing?
Prior Experience
The third myth is that you need a great experience if you want to be successful in an online business. Well this is not the reality. Anyone can start without any prior experience.
You will be surprised to know that today people who all are making money online are very young. College going or just fresh college graduates. Just you need is desire to make money, you can gain experience in no time.
So do not bother about any experience just start working with dedication. If anyone else can do it then you can also do it.
Programming & Web Designing
You might think if an online business is free to start without any experience then you must have the knowledge of Web programming or designing. Like HTML coding, JavaScript, etc. Let me tell you, you do not need to know any of these things, from coding to designing.
Now a day everything comes in pre designed templates, you can integrate any great design to your website. Even a novice can do it.
You can just focus on business aspect rather technical aspect.
Multi Level Marketing
The fifth myth is that an online business is all about MLM or multi level marketing, so you need to have great marketing background. Again I must say this is not true.
You do have to sell products to your customers however it is nothing like a multi level marketing. It is very simple and you can do it easily with some experience.
That is the reason why even youngsters are making a lot of money with Internet business and they do not know anything about MLM.
Easy Money
The last big myth that can kill you is that an online business is just a cake walk. Yes! It is relatively easy compared to other conventional businesses. However you cannot take it too lightly.
You have to work around basics. You are not going to make money overnight as it is no get rich scheme or a jackpot. You have to work hard initially. After some experience it would be easy to run the business.
So never take it too lightly.
