The answer is YES!

Here's my first piece of advice, "Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction." _{Alice In Wonderland}

Before we discuss anything else, I must stress the need for a system.

Without a system, a process, a daily procedure; you will become overwhelmed, lose focus and ultimately quit!

Success as an internet marketer requires organization of ideas, processes and products. It will also require knowledge of the industry.

Despite all the HYPE, you can be up in running in a few days with a money making website and you can do nearly everything for FREE, if you have the right information or know where to find it.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

Much of the information revealed in Ebooks or through websites marketed by Internet Gurus is accurate, but it's often way beyond the ability of Internet NEWBIES.

Unfortunately, NEWBIES don't know this until they've raked out their hard earned cash and discover they don't have the knowledge or money (at first) to capitalize on the great ideas they're reading about.

Most of the so call "Experts" are in fact experts - in their niche. However, much of the information they provided is either so sales oriented or it's written in such a way that new internet marketers end up more confused by it than helped.

For example, Mike Filsame has an excellent Ebook on "Butterfly Marketing Techniques". It's 124 -pages long and it presumes that the reader is already familiar with most of the systems being discussed. This resource is way too advanced for a new Internet Marketer.

This undergirds my belief that to be successful you have to become a student of Internet Marketing.

Learn the language of the industry. The more you understand about Internet Marketing at the outset, the easier it will be for you to start making money.

You've got to believe that you can do this thing or before you know it, you'll become disheartened and quit. In fact, quitting should not be an option!

FACT #1 - ALL BUSINESSES HAVE A COST

If anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying. The cost may be Time, Money or Both, but a successful businesses will cost you something.

You to learn-as -you-earn without going broke.

While you can make a substantial income from Internet Marketing , let me say from the outset that most outlandish claims of overnight wealth are unrealistic for the average Newbie. There are exceptions to every rule, but the statistics bare out this truth. Ninety-five percent of all Home Based Internet Business fail within 12 months.

FACT #2 - It's a myth to believe that you can launch a site today and when you wake up the next morning; your PayPal account will be bursting with tons of cash. The likelihood of this happening is probably not very high, especially if you're new to Internet Marketing.

So, exactly what does it take? That's what we'll be discussing the weeks and months ahead.

The power of the Internet has created unique and profitable opportunities for many people and you can be one of them. It will take a combination of skill and hard work.

I say skill because there are a multitude of things you're going to have to learn and master if you ever want to see a profit. (Don't chicken out now!)

It will take hard work because like anything else in life that's worthwhile, you have to work at it in order to be successful. There are no free lunches.

In time, you will have the success (money, cars, houses, trips, lifestyle) you've dreamed about.

So What Does It Take?
