Hi Lisa,

Honestly, I don’t know how you remain sane sometimes!
Just been told a statistic that 9 out of every 10 websites fail within the FIRST YEAR! Surely that cannot be true? But it would explain this “get rich quick” mentality you talk about so much…

Anyway, just finished my online business plan for 2010 – 2011, and thought I’d share some of it with your readers. Although there were a lot of numbers, the three stages of online business that I found to matter most were:

Stage 1 – Where you’re at NOW
Stage 2 – Where you NEED to be (to meet your bills)
Stage 3 – What your POTENTIAL is (where 2% get to)

The math I used:
1.5% click-through on Google AdSense adverts
25 websites x 4,000 monthly visits each (average) = 100,000
100,000 visits multiply 1.5% = £1,500 ($2,271)

I didn’t go into online business to become rich (though there would be no complaints if that happened, I can assure you!) My sole aim was, and is, to earn enough money to be able to work from anywhere in the world from a wireless device, i.e. my laptop. The desire for that freedom alone motivates me to learn everything I need to know, and keep learning, every day. You can’t know everything, but you can know what you need to know.

Everyone will have their own online targets and ways of achieving them, best of success people!

People like to do what they want to do. But I remember the lyrics of a song back in the day that said “tell me the last time that love bought your clothes…it’s like that and that’s the way it is…” (anyone guess who said that?)

So it goes like this – if what you love what you’re doing AND it has EARNING POWER, then that is the ideal – “get paid to do what you love” as everyone dreams about.

There is one other very powerful reason to do stuff for money. NOT because of greed or for the sake of earning more and more – because what is enough? It’s relative to an extent. SO the REAL reason behind earning money is to achieve FREEDOM.

Freeing your time, freeing your life – so money is no object from taking a vacation wherever and whenever you want – and outsourcing your chores – so you can spend time with the fam and get them some nice things.

I would dare say it’s also the driver to allow freedom to do what you love too. Money if used wisely frees us up – as long as we use it wisely.

Money is not the end in and of itself. It is a means to an end – freedom and opportunity to allow us to be who we are and help others – and to enjoy life – and it must be earned the right way – or else it cancels out any good we try to do.

I have tried everything on the internet, and no one ever pays me, I know alot about alot, but at this point in financial hardship I am too overwelmed to even want to share my information with others, I feel let them learn the way I learned, no income chances, empty promises, lies, manipulations, no laws working into my favor, evil hex spells and the rest of the garbage that goes along with this hellish world where people believe computers more than the actual human being, when people don’t realize a human being puts the information about people in the computer, what a stupid world we live in.

I agree with you Lisa, that money is not enough motivation to stick with this. I was getting burned out on the “make money online biz,” and I had to take a step back and refocus on the goal I had before I ever knew about internet marketing – helping homeschoolers.

I really enjoy your videos. I’m planning a few of my own when I lose the baby weight. The baby is 20 months old, btw.

hi Lisa, I am from Germany (near Frankfurt) and found your website by chance.
I like to tell you that I am very much impressed by the overwhelming information you give there. Your site is the best i ever came across so far on that subject.

The idea to use videos is just excellent.
I have no website yet, but i intend to build one, but first i have to study your site completely because there is so much to learn.

Thank you very much for your hard work.
I wish you the best. Thank you for sharing all that knowledge.

Auf Wiedersehen
Norbert
