How much of what you “learned” at school do you remember? Especially, do you remember all the things that you were told?

I am not saying that it is irrelevant, but the fact of the matter is that we actually remember very little of what we are told.

Research into how we learn has revealed that:

When we hear something – we recall 7% of that message

When we see something – we recall 30% of that message, but

When we DO something – we recall 65% of that message

So you can see that by Doing something you are going to:

Firstly, create some momentum towards your goal

Secondly, remember how to do it better next time

Thirdly, learn a skill which you can keep … for free!

Nothing worthwhile in life comes without effort!

And it is the same with Internet Marketing! Sure you can pay other people to do all sorts of the work involved. But, if you are starting out chances are that you do not have a lot of money to spend on this venture, and you are better off spending that on decent hosting. And quality work costs, don't waste your money on cheap content. The other fact to keep in mind, is that if you do everything yourself when you start out, then you will know how things work. So that when you are able to afford to outsource some of your work, then you will know what to ask for and what to expect!

When you learn a new skill you take a step towards a goal which you have set yourself. That may be the first skill which you acquire in your search for an income online. Or it may be the skill which pulls it all together and pushes you to a new level of success! Whichever it is, learning new skills is an essential part of life, not just for success in internet marketing.

When you actually DO something, you actually take ownership of the technique and you will find it far easier to do the next time that you need to perform that particular skill. And skills build on each other, so that as you acquire new skills, you can speed up your processes and will ultimately be far more productive, in the weeks and months to come.

When you are able to perform skills and techniques within your online business, you have something which no-one can take away for you or charge you for, it is yours to keep!

So if you are asking yourself the question: “How do I earn passive income online?”, my advice to you is to learn the skills necessary and grow your business from there!
