So you have been online for some time now looking for a way to earn some money online, and most of what you have seen is telling you that in a few clicks you can be racking in the money while you go off and enjoy the rest of your life carefree and with continuous streams of money rolling in! You may even have bought a few of those promotions and they are now sitting on your hard drive gathering dust!

The truth is that you get out what you put in, as with so much in life, and success at affiliate marketing is no different. But it is tough when you are sitting in front of your computer wrestling with the endless possibilities which the internet presents you with and you are all on your own.

Especially when you are being bombarded with the “next great thing” in internet marketing virtually every day. And then there is the decision whether to use article marketing or pay per click, and how should you approach the social media in order to maximise your traffic. All these questions can paralyse you just trying to come to a decision, with the result that you end up doing nothing and possibly even giving up completely, even before you have begun.

So what do you do, I mean it is more than possible that if you speak to family members about internet marketing, they simply raise an eyebrow at you as if you are insane. They will tell you that you cannot make money off the internet, or some such comment. And this can be very discouraging as we all desire to be encouraged when we are starting out in something new. We want those near to us to be involved with the things that we are involved in, to encourage us and support us. But when it comes to internet marketing, we seem to lack that support.

To become truly successful at internet marketing you are going to have to overcome numerous hurdles, lack of support from those close to you may be one of them, and it could put a severe dent in your efforts to be successful. Support from a community which is willing to help you as you build up your internet business will go a long way to helping you to succeed in your online venture. You will meet people who have similar hurdles to overcome and who can encourage you when you are struggling to overcome a hurdle in your path. And when you are successful, then you will be in a position to spend some more time with those close to you, even if they where not as supportive as you would have liked them to be when you started out. Because at the end of the day, being with your loved ones is far more important than making money!
