2. Do you harbor the dream of dreams? Working at home
and making a decent living, not answering to anyone but
yourself and fixing your own hours and dress code? Do
you dream of a home based business opportunity that
actually works, doesn't siphon off all your spare money
but puts the bucks in your pocket?
4. The dream of making money on the Internet is not a
simple fantasy. You can make it a reality if you're willing to
follow some basic precepts. Here are a few principles to
follow when contemplating starting up a home based
online business. They're also useful checks for those who
have been working online for a while and want to tweak
an already established Internet business.
5. You've seen all the hype. It seems that every other page
on the web advertises secrets to making a fortune online.
Some of those programs are definitely well conceived and
well structured, and will produce return for your time,
effort, energy and money in the form of an ongoing
Internet business. Others are scams. When you're first
starting out, how do you tell the difference?
6. Read first, and then research before you act. After you've
read a couple dozen of these websites through, you'll find
yourself noticing patterns of hyperbole and noticeably
pushy prose. Throw those out.
7. Choose a few programs you feel good about at that point.
Then write individual e-mails to the people whose glowing
testimonials are all over those sites. The ones who write
back represent the ones that stand a chance.
8. Commit to something you love. This recommendation
contains two parts: First, the commitment part. That
means that your new online home based business requires
you to take care of it like a baby. Don't just buy a program
and then expect it to bring in the dough. Commit in your
mind first, and really be willing to spend time nurturing
your online home business with your time, your heart,
your mind and your soul. That's what winners are made
of.

10. Basically, you're looking to optimize your chances of
online business success through your own diligence,
commitment and love. These qualities are the ones that
will put you over the top and make you feel great about
your adventure in online marketing.
