Starting A Web Business Is Not As Easy As It Sounds

There is no way to avoid those obnoxious internet ads claiming they alone have THE web business that anyone can do and make millions per week.

Are these people for real? First and foremost, what's so one of a kind about it when they're just pawning off a business that someone else pawned off on them for a nominal entry fee? Back-of-house marketing my patoot. All this is, is another attempt to help you spread around the money you made at your 9 to 5 job by offering you something that's supposed to be so much better, but into which you will sink five times the amount of money and time you would have put into your J-O-B before throwing in the towel and going back to work so you can still make your mortgage payment.

The Myth

The gist of this business come-on is this: People on the net that declare they would make you a millionaire this week because you paid the fee and have secured the business package so easy to use are lying like a rug.

If lying is a bit too severe a term for you, try "omitting some facts" or "telling a fib" or "a little white lie". They all mean the same thing. The testimonials on the website are from very few people who managed to keep their heads above water. The thousands of others that bought into this scheme are all back at the office working for someone else.

The Truth

Starting a web business is no different than starting a business in the real world. All business start-ups take courage, capital, tons of hard work and tenacity. You need to survey your market for the types of customers you need to target and make sure you tailor your business to fit their needs. This takes hours of work. Don't even think you can start a business with part-time hours. You will be working hard 60-70 hours per week every week. You will be doing seemingly fruitless tasks because they must be done and you are the only one there to do them.

You know what they don't tell you? That at some point you're going to want to bang your head on the table, throw in the towel, and announce to any and all that are listening that you've had enough of this junk and you're going back to your J-O-B. You have no life. Your family's barely speaking to you. You haven't slept in a month.

Believe me. All those who have attempted a business start-up have been through this. A web business is not like opening up a pie shop on Main street in a small town. On the web, you are in competition with millions of other businesses catering to the masses from every corner of the planet. You will be scrambling to drive traffic to your web business - traffic that will buy your wares and return again and again. Customers that will spread your business name by word of mouth so others will jump on the bandwagon. There will be times when few even visit your site, let alone take advantage of what you have to offer. Then there are the times when an explosion of customer traffic occurs and you will be working 70 hour weeks to stay on top and probably slide off a bit.

The bottom line? Internet businesses offer up a huge amount of opportunity for the savvy entrepreneur, but you're going to work for it. There's going to be some blood. There's going to be some sweat. I'll guarantee you're going to have more than a few tears. So at the end of the day, the question really is, are you up for it? Have you got what it takes to stick it out?

If your answer to that question is yes, by all means go for it. Leave that office cubicle and put your mind, money and mettle to the test.
