I get a lot of emails from people asking me what kind of return they can expect from their net marketing business within the first ninety days. This is a tough question to answer.

For one thing, everyone has their own learning curve. Also, we all come to this business with different levels of experience and different financial capabilities.

But generally speaking, anyone who wants to know how much money they can make with a 'business' in 90 days or less probably needs a quick shot of reality. I'm not trying to be rude; I'm just making a point.

Business is NOT a good way to make quick cash. If you need money within the very near future, I'd say your best bet would be to get a part-time job.

It takes time to build any type of business into a profitable operation. And in fact, net marketing often has a longer runway than traditional models.

For instance, small service operations like commercial cleaning and landscaping can often be in profit within a couple of months. On the other hand, very few internet marketers are able to recover their investments and put money into their pocket within that time frame.

You should think long term here. The internet is only going to continue to grow and improve, and with this growth comes a wider field of opportunity for those who are willing to plan and work for it.

So don't be discouraged by the fact that it may take you a while to get things going to your liking.

The best advice I can give you is to SLOW DOWN. Avoid the 'short-cut-to-success' mentality at all costs.

I se

e an awful lot of ad copy promoting business opportunities that can be worked successfully for 'just an hour a day' or 'just a few hours each week'. I'm not going to say this is totally impossible, but it sure doesn't seem feasible to me.

I encourage you not to buy into the rather ludicrous suggestion that an individual can start and run a business of any kind by investing only an hour or two each day.

I realize you may have a full-time job, and therefore you probably aren't interested in spending all your off time in front of the computer. But let's be realistic about this; if you want to build a profitable enterprise, you need to be prepared to put some significant time and effort into the project.

It takes work, planning, and more work to make it in this business.

This doesn't mean you have to work 8 hours a day, seven days a week. But it does mean you need to set a realistic amount of time aside each week to work your business.

Take the time to read, listen, and absorb information. Then develop your plan and take action on the knowledge you have collected.
