Why You Shouldn't Believe The Hype Of Making Money Online In Your Spare Time

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.

A good place to start is by losing the idea of picking up a large monthly check if you plan on spending a few minutes per day working. This is a myth which leads to failure in online business. There is nothing wrong with setting yourself a goal of reaching a five or six figure income with your home business, in fact that is a great thing, just be aware that you will need to work hard to achieve it.

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.

The biggest reason most affiliate marketers fail in reaching success is inconsistency. They love the idea of the end product, the full-time income, but they lack the drive to find time to work on building their business at the beginning. That's the most important part. Even if you're just doing something small, those small efforts mount up over time. []

If you have a couple of hours to spare each day to work on your home business then there is absolutely nothing stopping you from developing it into a full-time income for your family within the first year of business. The problem is, of course, most people do not have that sort of time available every day.

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.
