Can You Earn A Part-Time Income Via The Internet?

By Russell Howe


With affiliate businesses such as Empower Network sprouting up almost every single day, there is no denying that more people than ever before are turning to the internet in a bid to build a secondary income. However, can you honestly make money online part-time by running a business in your spare time?

There is a common habit for online businesses to put out incredibly misleading statements about the time commitments you should expect when looking to become your own boss. Before you jump into any program you should take a serious look at the amount of spare time you'll need. Today we'll run you through this and give you an idea of what to expect.

The first myth to tackle in online business is the myth that you can build a full-time income with a half-baked effort. If you want something you can pick up and put down a few moments later, you'd be better of playing the lottery. Despite the marketing which claims you can create a great income in a few minutes per day, the fact is it's merely marketing to fend of the companies competitors and attract you to that particular program. The reality of the matter is you'll need to work hard if you want to succeed in any home business.

Around 60%, if not more, of the affiliate marketing population is made up of individuals who are stuck in the mindset just described. They like the idea of working for themselves but they do not have the time or drive to do the hard work. Quite often you will just see these type of marketers switching between companies, hoping to get in on the ground floor of a newer company and strike it lucky.

Inconsistency plays a key role in why so many people fail to use the internet to become their own boss. People with perfectly good credentials and excellent skills which are well suited to a business will quite often fall at the first hurdle because they lack the 'get up and go' required to work on your business every single day.

In an ideal world, somebody who is serious about becoming their own boss should be able to spend 1-2 hours every single day working on building their business. That time can be applied to a whole range of different aspects, ranging from finding and engaging a social media audience to getting your website up and running. Once that is all done, of course, the work does not simply end. Time is then applied to growing your audience and targeting whichever niche you are operating in so that you can gain superior search engine optimization.

Anybody who applies 1-2 hours daily and sticks to their long-term plan can achieve success with any affiliate program or home based business. That is a fact. The sad part is most people lack the drive to do it despite dreaming of how great their life would be if they reached the end result.

The main problem, of course, is that many of the people drawn into the home business industry are looking for a quick fix to make money online, which does not exist. If you are currently considering becoming your own boss with a home business, for example Empower Network, you need to take a good look at how much free time you have available before you begin.
