It's shocking to know that over 90% of internet marketers don't make money online. Even when they do make some money, it's not enough to cover the memberships the've joined, their web hosting, the domains, ebooks and also the freelancers they've hired for some tasks.

So why are these knowledgeable internet marketers unable to make a living online?

The answer lies in their continuous search for the Magic Pill.

If you've been trying to make a living online for a few years now and have still gotten no where with your income then I assume you're the majority - read a lot of internet marketing information, tried a lot of techniques and none have worked so far. None of the techniques have given you the massive opportunity you have hoped for.

This is what I call "Waiting for the Magic Pill" disease.

With 1 or 2 years experience online, assuming you have occasionally bought ebooks, tried out memberships and read through forum posts, you should have enough information to make a living online.

Search your hard disk now and check out all the ebooks and free reports which you have bought. Have you honestly read through all the content and actually took action with the knowledge you have gained?

Most likely you've read through the information, had a few "a-ha" moments and then ignored what you have read and moved on to read about the next latest ebook or traffic generating opportunity everyone is talking about.

Or what a lot of people do is try to put the information to work with their websites and as soon as they don't see an instant result, they assume it doesn't work or not worth doing and look for something else.

So many people online are looking for the magic pill where there is a secret traffic generating technique or a business model that will generate loads of money for them without much effort.

This is why so many sales letters make it sound easy to make money online because that is what people want. They want the fast, easy way. They want everything to work with a click of a button.

The reality is these sort of things do not exist.

What does work online is continuous hard work at one particular thing. For example. Article Marketing works - many experienced, successful internet marketers said so and also offered proof. So why do some people try it for a short while and then say it doesn't work and move on to the next thing?

Because it didn't bring them instant results.

Do you think those that make a good living online had it easy? Do you think they just used one traffic generating technique or one system which brought in all their success? Nope. They'll tell you honestly that they worked very hard and tested a lot of things before any success. Once you're successful then things become easier.

I hope this article has woken you up to reality and you start doing what will really make a full-time income for you online. And that is hard work. Try article marketing for at least a few months and then see the result. Then decide for yourself if it works or not.
