Despite all the bad things leveled against it, believe it or not, the World Wide Web is not an entirely dangerous place. True, there may be scammers and thieves hiding in the corners of the Internet, but thanks to the web savvy of computer technicians, the Internet can actually be a good place to be if you want to meet people, learn new things, and even make money. Yes, the Internet can be your cash cow if you know how to manage it. But the question is why? Why should you even try to earn cash by start a home business,?

There are many different reasons why you should try to earn cash but one thing that you should not do (at least not yet) is to leave your day job. Internet-based businesses may earn a lot in the long run, but now that a lot of people are making money online, it might be difficult for you to break into the market and earn your gazillions immediately. In any case, here are a few reasons why you should start thinking about making that mouse work and getting yourself some bucks online.

There are many ways that you can make money online, and not all of them require you to be chained to a desk, writing down everything on a sheet of paper, or marking out graphs and curves with a highlighter. Take, for instance, affiliate marketing. In affiliate marketing, people online who have blogs or websites ally themselves with marketers. These blogs and websites need money to survive and these blogs and websites have an audience that can buy things online. So what do affiliate marketers do? They post advertisements on their client’s blogs and websites. Every time a visitor clicks on an advertisement, money goes to the blog or website owner. In fact, if this same visitor buys something on the new website, the blog or website owner gets commissions.

There are many options for starting a home business, online. There are actually money-earning programs available where you can consult with experts on how to set up your business. There are even profit sharing schemes where you can advertise popular blogs or websites on your site in return for commissions. There are even residual income sources that you can use for more income, such as answering surveys online, participating in forum discussions for a fee, and even writing reviews!

These are only a few good ideas on why you should start a starting a home business, online. But the main reason might simply be this: you need money for a better tomorrow, a good education for your children, a good retirement fund, a source of investment, and a way to enjoy your weekends. Your reasons will be different, but we all need money, and if the World Wide Web can give you a chance to earn money honestly, then why not take the chance?

The emergence of Occupy The City is starting to gather momentum as many past networkers begin to realize the benefits of building their business as part of a team effort rather than as individuals.

Don’t get me wrong, going it alone is still okay but the problem for many is they lack the skills needed to build a network marketing business. Skills such as sales, recruiting, prospecting and training are taken for granted by successful MLMers but the reality is, the majority just don’t know how to put these skills into practice. And more to the point, they don’t want to.

Occupy The City

At Occupy The City, community based network marketing is taking off and not only are people being given the chance to build a business, but they are also learning some vital skill in working online.

Internet network marketing is an area where those savvy enough to recognize it’s potential in attracting leads are reaping the benefits in a big way. Occupy The City founder Jason Acopolis is excited about the future of community based network marketing as he explains.

“Occupy the City is a professional networking community that is focused on a single goal. Success for everyone involved! Now we are not talking marginal success either, our plan will create a 500k annual residual income in 9 months for anyone willing to plug into our easy system and push themselves to achieve the simple monthly business goals that we set forth.”

He says…”Our community is made up of some of the most successful networkers in the industry. Every one of them will be available to you to help move you towards success in what really & truly is a very simple home business to operate.”

A good example of a networking community is what they are doing with Cyberwize.

Each one of our members has a specific role to fill in the community. This makes life easier for all of us because it means we do not have to wear all the different hats usually associated with owning your own “really easy” (yeah right!) home based business.

Things like Orientation, Training, Motivating, Recruiting, and Interviewing can quickly become too much for a successful or beginning home business owner & entrepreneur to keep up with. This usually leads to burn out. We bypass this problem all together by putting people in positions to build on their strengths only. There are enough of us here, (real people with various skill sets) to make sure this remains a reality for us. Is it a reality for you? It could be, but you have to be willing to take action.”

And more importantly, he stressed…”We only work with self-motivated entrepreneurs at Occupy The City and so will you. That is part of what keeps this at home business really easy to run and enjoy.”

Do you understand the anomaly which exists in network marketing or any at home business for that matter where self sabotage comes into play? Do you know what self sabotage is?

It happens every day and it’s a little like whales beaching themselves for no apparent reason. We want to bring this up because it’s something this author went through a few short years ago and when it was happening, I wasn’t even aware of it.

Being on track as an entrepreneur means showing steely resolve and if you are in an inter-network marketing business then steely resolve is your best friend. You’ll hit road blocks and some of them will be personal but while you deal with them, you still need to keep your eye on the long term goal you set yourself.

This has plenty to do with getting into the discomfort zone, an area many avoid. If you find your discomfort zone in network marketing then be rest assured, you’re on the right track. Because feeling uncomfortable means you’re learning something new and moving forward most times.

This was a message which eventually sunk through after my previous sabotaging effort… “You’ll never get past the entrepreneurial breakwaters until you conquer that fear inside you and step outside your comfort zone.”

The Discomfort zone

You see, up until then, I’d tried and failed in several network marketing businesses, one I had established a $900 a week income before self-destructing.

What happened?

I got into uncharted territory that is, I was on track to financial freedom but the strange thing was I was afraid. People wanted more of my time and it made me nervous. I went back into my shell and started passing off stuff I should have been doing to my downline.

Eventually, my lack of effort started to resonate down the line and while I had some dedicated people, when I wasn’t being seen in putting in the effort then they saw this as the green light to do the same.

That $900 a week income soon fell to $800 then $700 then $600 until it almost disappeared. It hurt but still I didn’t do anything about it and was comfortable going back to a job where the income was guaranteed every week and people didn’t demand much of my time.

Can you see where I’m going with this?

The message here is that unless you feel uncomfortable in your network marketing business during the growing phase then you’re not on track. In other words, as an entrepreneur, the more on course you are then the more frightened you’ll feel.
