If you have truly decided that making money online at home is something that you want to do then the hardest part is already over. Earning money on the internet doesn't have to be difficult. In fact, its not really difficult at all once you LEARN the proper methods.

But for the beginner who doesn't even know where to start its even more challenging.

So to continue in this series: here are the next three discussion topics.

What Do You Want?

Simply deciding that you want to make money online is not enough. In order to be successful online, as with anything, you have to clearly define exactly what you want.

Do you want to earn money on the internet on a part time or full time basis?

How much do you want to make? What is it going to take and how much time will you have to commit?

These are just a few of the questions you have to ask yourself.

When you define exactly what you want out of an internet home business, if forces you to construct your roadmap and then plan of action.

This is an important part for the newbie because the journey to earning income online is going to take some work, so being clear on exactly what you want helps to keep you focused and zeroed in on your ultimate purpose.

How will you achieve your goal?

After you have figured out exactly what you want you then have to figure out how you are going to achieve your goals. Making money online involves providing some type of good or service.

Are you going to provide physical goods to your customers or are you going to provide an informational service of some type, like your own eBook? What marketing methods are you going to use?

Will you use free marketing methods, which are highly recommended, or are you going to use a pay service?

To achieve your goals with internet marketing means putting a lot of consideration into how you plan on marketing yourself and reaching that goal.

Belief

Belief in yourself is an obvious trait that you will need to make things happen and at first glance you might not even think it's the kind of thing that should be mentioned.

Many would put belief in yourself at the top of the list in terms of importance, and who can argue with that. Its easy to overlook and avoid talking about it because of course if someone has decided to learn how to make money online, they believe they can. Right?

If you think you can or if you think you can't, then you're right. Believing you can do something is really the battle itself, especially if you are brand new to internet marketing and don't even know where to start. So, if you have made a true decision to do something and you believe you can, then you will take small steps towards making it happen.

I'm well aware of all the challenges facing a beginner who is brand new but wants to LEARN how to make money online.

The only reason people fail at making money online is because they don't actually KNOW what to do. You need a step-by-step plan from start to finish. And, you will need your own website.
