Have you been searching and reading websites and blogs about tips on making money online and up to now you haven’t got a dime?

You may be asking:

“What’s with me?”

“What’s with these people that making money online seems too easy?”

“How do I start?”

The list goes on and on. Too many questions and yet searching Google about the keywords “make money online” shows millions of results that can be deemed as answers and yet, too many are struggling.

Have you ever thought that the cause can be nearby?

Here’s a few that I’ve just thought preventing you from earning online.

Sure there are risks involved in making money online. Many are afraid to lose.

“What if I make a mistake? What will I pay for the bills?”

“What if somebody in the family gets sick?”

“What if I get scammed?”

“What if I lose my home and live in the streets?” (extreme)

There are too many “what if’s”. Like any other business, this can succeed or fail. Have you ever wondered that working on an 8-hour job is risky too? Too many got laid off for the past months. If you’ve been working for years for one employer to another (or maybe just one), you managed to handle the risks. If office risks can be handled, so can an online job. So what’s the solution?

Here’s a good read about this in Zen Habits:

“I don’t know”

“I’m too young (or old)”

“I still have much to learn”

“I lack experience”

Now, how do you know what you don’t know? What you need might be already there with you. It’s just waiting to be awakened. Success online is not based on talent, age, sex, background. Have a positive mindset. Instead of saying “I don’t know where to start”, say “I can figure this out”.

Here’s a good read on how to stop caring about now knowing:

And here’s something to let you change from negative to positive:

Have you found a tip lately? Of course you did. You’ve been reading this post, right? What are you going to do with it now? Will you wait to apply what you have learned until it’s the right time?

Three words: DO IT NOW

Set your mindset NOW after reading up to this point. Bookmarking this page for later reading and digesting will let you forget it. You will search for other things and find something new and then what? Life will always have things to do. Letting things wait until the right time may be too late. And when will you know it’s the right time to make money? Of course this is the right time!

Of course, after setting your mind, it doesn’t end there. You need a guide. After the guide you need a plan. After knowing enough information, START RIGHT AWAY. Don’t wait for perfection. The internet is an ever evolving place. And it changes quickly. Your perfect plan might be too imperfect by the time you implement it. If you’re worrying about funds, you can start for FREE. For example, if you’re planning to have a blog, there’s always free Blogger.

It seems that summarizing these up makes us conclude that the obstacle can be YOU.

While it’s true that making money online is not for everyone, you may never know until you try it. Let me tell you about my story. I’m a software developer who had the employee mindset since the time I can’t remember. I'm not good at communicating. I'm not a writer. I have lots of fears when I started out, including blogging, social media in general, and marketing. But now I have made 70+ blog posts, have more than $500 in earnings since I started last year. I’m still struggling but I know I can finish this journey.

I hope this can help you get started. Who knows you’ll succeed first than I am.

I have enumerated my ideas. Would you like to add something?
