A very famous book is called “The magic of Thinking Big”. It explains how people let small thinking about their worth and aptitudes keep them away from achieving their objectives in life. Surely, a good lesson that applies to the big areas of life: career, happiness, love but, when talking about internet marketing, thinking big can really damage your chances of succeeding.

The internet is oversaturated with guys promoting “make money instant” dreams – the message that these ads send is that if it doesn’t pay right up, and if it doesn’t pay good, isn’t worth trying. The issue with that message is that significant sums of money can be quickly made on the internet, but these cases typically occur a few months or years of working into an internet marketing career, and very rarely you’ll win something in the first few days.

When the new internet marketers realise that to win money on the internet it takes time, risk and hard work, they fall back. They are promised an instant big score, and, instead of starting to work (admiting that they were recruted by some marketing hype), they actually move on to another “promise”. This persists until they either actually start working on their business, or stop looking.

They are misled by the idea of quiting their day jobs favoring this industry that sells so intensely. They start scheming instant riches plans and, when they find out that things aren’t quite working as they thought they would, or as they’ve been told, they quit. But what would happen if they’d quit thinking that all their income must come from a single website or product, they’d be starting thinking small?

Let’s take an example: if one person can establish a system in a week, that earns him a dollar every day, is it convenient for him to work another week to establish another system, that would earn him another dollar each day? Is it odd to think that such a person could create thirty – thirty-five such system, and earning an steady income of 30-35 dollars per day, with just a little bit of faith and perseverance? Of course not.

Thirty dollars each day means about 1100 dollars per year. Not enough to live big, but surely enough to make a difference. I mean, would you rather have a 0$ income by trying to start big in this industry, or would you rather earn a steady of 1100$ per year by starting small. The path that I suggest is a safer path to succes, rather than trying to get a big score and getting over your head, right before starting.
