Beginners Online Business Handbook

Everyday out there in the real brick and mortar world, millions and millions of people drag

themselves from the warm, warm beds, take a shower, grab a cup of coffee, and head off to

their jobs as they are thinking that there has got to be an easier way to make a living.

Every one of those millions and millions of people knows somebody who has quit the ‘get-up-

and-go-to-work’ grind and is making a very good living by working on their personal computers

from the comfort of their own homes.

Working from home sounds like an ideal solution to them. Many of these dissatisfied souls will

quit their jobs and plunge head-first into internet marketing with no preparation, no knowledge of

what they are doing, no education, and no hope of success. Failure is their only option and they

don’t even suspect.

The fact is that according to many sources, more than 90% (Ninety percent) of all Internet

business start-ups end in failure within the first 120 (one hundred twenty) days. Yes, you read

that right. NINETY PERCENT!

This failure rate should be a warning to those who are considering trying their hand at making a

go of working on the Internet rather than at a job in the brick and mortar world.

Of course, success is possible. There IS that other 10% (ten percent) that do succeed. The

thing is success doesn’t happen by accident. And success isn’t just a crap shoot. Success

happens because of some very important factors.
