Bed-of-Roses?

Not so long time ago, I imagined a different Internet marketing career —- easy, profitable and fast. I had the same fantasies as you do about working online, you can probably recognize these imaginations: sitting comfortably on your bed with the laptop, effortless and no-brainer responsibilities, waking up next day to a larger bank account, me as the boss, me as the owner of my time, and you know the rest…

Internet marketing is not always a bed of roses. There are a couple of challenges that Internet marketers face. Here are some of them:

1. How do you inform and relate to your love ones that you are ending a stable and hard-earned job for a business online, which is by the way unsteady and unsure?

2. How do you make intelligible to people surrounding you that your job is real and you have to work in front of the computer just like or more than an ordinary job and that you don’t have the time to spend on extra curricular activities?

3. People who are not working on the Internet do not comprehend the significance of having a reliable and withstanding Internet Service Provider. If there are any problems with the Internet, our work is on the line! If we get irritated, frustrated and demanding to the help desk people of our provider because we are offline, there’s a good reason why!

4. Backup is given a whole new meaning in Internet marketing. It’s so important that not being able to backup means a lot of damage and loss for your business. Do not fail to backup your files! We must have a regular, continuous schedule for this, and it should never be neglected. Always be organized with your files. I can sleep better knowing my files are safe with an excellent off-site backup system.

5. Successful Internet marketers are focused, purposeful and we can work round-the-clock, which benefits our business but not our personal life. Unless you take necessary measures, you will sacrifice your relationship with your wife, kids, friends, pets and even neglect important things such as your health. An Internet marketer should try to keep everything in balance and don’t let things get out of hand.
