The way to making money on the internet is paved with tears and agony. I’m not saying this to discourage you or to get rid of a possible future competitor. I’m saying this simply because it is the truth. 20 years ago, when most people didn’t know what a domain name was it was easier but tears and agony were still there.

Let’s imagine a ten years old who tries to sell lemonade for 1 cent per glass. He should have a stand, glasses and lemonade. He will also have lots of paper and a pen. He first opens his stand in front of his house and sells only to his parents. Then he writes “best lemonade in the street” and puts this sign over his stand. Some of the passersby start to buy lemonade. He makes new signs and puts them to each end of the street telling people where they can find the best lemonade in the street. Now his sales are better. With the money he builds a new stand shaped like a lemon and opens his stand on the nearest square putting signs in every street saying where the best lemonade in the district is. With this method, he learns the lemonade business. He listens to people, learns what they want, and adds new beverages to his stand. Success never comes overnight.

Have you seen the movie “Social Network?” He is the creator and owner of the world’s number one web site Facebook. In that movie you can see how he struggles and how he evades failures at the last moment. Do you think internet millionaires earned their millions without suffering and struggling? For a dedicated person, specializing in one area takes about one year if the area he or she chose is not quantum physics. In this one year, you try new things while making mistakes and learning from them.

A friend of mine decided that he can make a living from sports betting. He read everything he put his hands on about the subject and started to bet with small amounts. He was sometimes winning and most of the times losing. It took him 10 months to master all kinds of sports betting styles and systems. Now you can ask him anything you like about his specialty and he can answer even your most complicated questions. He gave his time, money and labor for it. Now he says that it is not possible to make a living by sports betting. He occasionally bets for fun and works in office as an accountant. He is an expert with an expertise that makes no money. Nevertheless he is an expert. If he had asked one of the thousands of people who tried the same thing before him, he could have avoided all the tears and agony. Though he says he doesn’t regret it. Who would admit they regret wasting 10 months of their life?

Internet is not a new thing anymore. People tried different things and some of them are making money on the internet. If you want to be one of them you can’t avoid the perils but you can decrease your pain by learning from the past mistakes of others.
