Building a business is fun and frustrating to say the least but when the results of your hard work give people value and put money in your pocket, it’s well worth it.  There are so many business models out there that in reality are so much alike that it’s not even funny.  Take McDonalds and Burger King for example.

Both sell burgers and fries but what is the money maker?  Other than the slight differences in their taste, they are basically both just burger and fry stores.  The difference is their branding.  They go all out to market themselves as “different” than everybody else.  Their colors, logos, commercials, etc.. differentiate themselves from the rest.

I can’t believe it has really taken me so many years to finally “start” an online business.  Yes I have created products and have also created cool graphics for many of the resale rights or private label rights products that I have purchased but I never ever got the business side of things started.  I believe that’s why over 95% of people fail online.  They never got the business side of things figured out.

For those of you who don’t know I have been trying to make money online for the past five years or so.  I have done a variety of programs and purchased a number of books over the years but have not had success at any of them.

Hey, I created an easy video to advertise my new SimplyListBuilding.com website.  Here it is to watch…

It has been a couple of weeks since the beginning of this project.  After going through some training, it was necessary to first set up this blog.  The reason is so that I can track my progress and also help others to do the same things as me but with the hopes that you do not have to go through the struggles that I do as I show you what I’ve learned.

Now it has been a couple of days and I have gone through the first module of Alex Jeffreys online coaching program.  Before I even get started in relaying what I have learned, I need to explain to a lot of you why getting a mentor is necessary.

First off, if I didn’t need a mentor then why am I failing at earning money online?  You might want to ask yourself this if you haven’t already.  Second, I am convinced that there are no get rich quick schemes that actually work for people like you and I.  Even if there was, it would be a one hit wonder and not the kind of business I really want to associate myself with anyways.

For all of you who are sick and tired of not making any money online, I invite you to travel with me on my journey to success.  You see, I am not a guru or anyone of any importance but I have finally decided to do something about my constant failure, or should I say constant “inaction”.

I have been online for some years now and have dabbled in any and all ways to make money online.  I know it is possible because I have actually made some money over the years but nothing to brag about.  I have taught myself most of everything I know which includes some graphic design, some website creation, and some affiliate promotion.
