The Merry-Go Round Of Online Businesses

According to Google search, there are a few million people every month looking for information about starting online businesses. Most of those people have no idea how to set up an online business and do not know where to start, they just know they have a passion and wish to capitalize upon it. They spin in circles and make no progress toward their goal of starting a business online. They feel as though they are on an endless merry go round.

The merry go round of online business typically starts with a Google or Yahoo! Search using keywords such as "Online business" or "work from home". Then they get hit with a barrage of ads promising to solve their problems make them six figures in a few months without much effort at all. The searcher might navigate from one ad to another, and if they feel brave enough, even enter their details into an opt-in box to receive some sort of free information.

The trouble is that most of those websites don't actually say what the business opportunity actually is or how much it will cost to invest in it. This raises suspicion and people generally do not proceed further as they are most likely a bit sceptical already anyway. But for those who are brave enough to look further they are undoubtedly bombarded with countless success stories and pictures of flashy cars and homes and propositioned the "opportunity of a lifetime".

Now, I am not saying that all these people do not own this wealth but the likelihood that the "average Joe" will be as successful as the millionaire who gave his testimonial on how he made it big is highly unlikely. This is especially true if they have no Internet or online marketing experience.

Instead of hyping a get rich quick potential, the ethical marketing message to the prospective entrepreneur should actually be:

Do not apply unless you are prepared to invest into the business
You must be coached and trained in order to be successful and this will definitely take time.
You will have your ups and downs and you will often feel like giving it all up and getting a job instead.
You need to be able to talk to and connect with people otherwise it just won't work.
It may take many months or years to make decent money.
Unless you purchase a lot of training programs, DVD's or motivational types of materials, you will probably give up.

These would just be some of the warnings that should be communicated as an accompaniment to the detailed information about the company and products they would be representing.

At the point, the aspiring entrepreneur will typically choose a company to work with, purchase a product or two from them and start trying to make sales. They initially get excited about what they are doing and promptly tell all their friends and family about their new venture. Their attempts to get them to join up to quickly land them in the "NFL (No Friends Left) Club".

Quite soon, after making they make a few if any sales, people often think "it is too hard" or "it didn't work" and call it quits.

The reality is, unless you love what you are doing or have the potential to make a lot of money with high ticket items, you just won't continue pursuing the world of online businesses. If people are not defeated at this stage either by their lack of success or their family and friends putting the hard word on them, then they will try another company thinking that their product, service or payment plan is better and they may make money that way.

The truth is, unless you follow your passion and do what you love to do, it turns out to be just like a job except without the regular pay packet. So you first need to find your passion for what you love to do. Once you have worked out what your passion is then you need to search for a business that revolves around that, or even better start your own business based around your passion.

For example, let's say you are passionate about keeping fit and healthy, then your online business should be based around that. If you are to join a company, you shouldn't focus on selling websites, you should focus on selling items based around fitness and nutrition.

If you are a car enthusiast and you spend the whole week talking about cars, going to car races, and have car pictures all over your office wall, then why would you join a company that sells vitamins? It makes sense really doesn't it? Surely you would look for a business based around your passion for cars or start your own business where you can market products associated with cars.

If we all only followed our hearts and passions rather than chasing dollar signs then there would be a lot more millionaires and a lot less merry go round riders.
