You can’t make internet money in 2023 if you don’t avoid these five things.
There are very few things better than internet money.
Internet money is an antidote to the looming recessions, mass layoffs from the big companies and the general financial uncertainty in the air. But to earn internet money in 2023, you must avoid these five plagues.
Overthinking
There are several ways to make money online and many more in 2023. But there are three main monetisation pathways.
You can sell your
Skills: Content writing, UI/UX, SEO, software programming, lead generation, ads, and social media marketing.
Digital products: ebooks, courses, webinars, email courses.
Consultancy: Help people achieve a goal in their life or business.
The first challenge if you’ve not made any money online is overthinking the process, which keeps you paralysed and stops you from acting. So just pick one pathway and go ahead with it. Don’t also fall to the shiny object syndrome and start chasing some new fad. Cryptocurrency and NFTs come to mind. The goal is to ensure you have earned your first $1 online with the skill you initially chose. Then you can add other skills or money pathways.
Not learning copywriting
Once you select the skill you want to sell, the next step is to showcase the skill to prospective employees/partners. This means you must build an audience and convince a percentage of them to work with you. You need to persuade them with your words to do all of this, which is exactly why you need to learn how to write persuasively. No matter your monetisation pathways, you must learn how to persuade people with your writing.
Not selling
After persuading people, the next step is to sell. Suppose you have a bad relationship with selling. If you think selling is evil, slimy, and beneath you. You have a job to change that mindset. Because to make money on the internet, you have to sell.
Consistency
Most people give up before they start seeing results. Making money online is simple, but it takes time. And any person that tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something that doesn’t work. So you need to keep learning, keep persuading, and keep selling.
Just convince yourself that if others have made money online, yours won’t be different.
Quitting when you don’t feel like it
There is no reason to start with step 1 if you will stop at the moment you stop feeling uninspired. The only solution to ensure you never quit when you don’t feel like it is to join a group. Team up with others on the same journey as you to earn money online. This group serves as inspiration, accountability partner, and a kick in the ass when you start going soft.
Conclusion
Earning money online is bliss. Few things compare to the feeling of earning your first dollar online and scaling to $1000/month and then $10,000/month and possibly hundreds of thousands monthly. But the only way to get to those milestones is to avoid these five things.
