Why Am I Working At Home In My Underpants?
You will have heard talk about how you can make a living working online at home in your underpants. It's a standard sort of phrase to emphasize how you don't have to get up and go to work in the office or factory that has kept you in chains for a lot of your working life.
Buy this product and m,ake your fortune while working at the kitchen table in your underpants. You have probably seen that sort of marketing phrase around and it makes a great image to convince people to buy internet marketing ebooks, courses, memberships and DVDs. We all want tot spend a couple of hours a week working on a laptop and then go off to the beach for the rest of the day. Who wouldn't enjoy that?
There's often a real truth behind the idea of someone working at home in their underpants and it is not for the reasons promoted in the sales pahges. They say that only 2% of people are real action takers. The sales pages often play to the idea that you hardly have to do any work to make a fortune and many people fall for that. Let's be honest here, our enthusiasm for the dream means that most of us fall for that stuff and those who don't are probably cynics who wouldn't believe it if they won the lottery. No, the reason a lot of people are sat around in their underpants is because they spent all their spare cash buying one course after another, one ebook after another and one DVD instruction course after another.
If you spend all your time and money buying new marketing products you are very likely doomed to fail. You have to make use of what you buy and that can take time. If you carefully read the sales page for a marketing guide or product and you think it sounds like it could work for you and you decide to buy it then spend some time working with it.
Don't just read it and move on to another product. Read it and put it into practice. Most likely it is a plan of action that will require you to continue taking action over a period of time. Try to make use of it every day and be consistent. Keep it up. Doing almost anything everyday will start to have some effect after a couple of months or so.
It hardly matters what you do so long as you keep doing it. Obviously some actions are more effective than others but if all you did was to write one comment on someones blog each day at least after a year you would have 365 backlinks from those comments. That may not make you rich but you will at least have achieved something. Buying new products all the time and always looking for the magic button that makes you rich is probably just going to leave you poorer.
Maybe there will be a new magic button product out one day but it seems unlikely that it will work for all of it's buyers. Very few 'Gurus' do all their own work. Most will outsource it to staff or employ staff from around the world to do all the repetetive and routine stuff that works. You could do that too but in the meantime just take a product you have that you think makes a lot of sense and work it.
Follow the plan and keep doing it until it either works or you are sure that it is never going to work for you. Mosy internet marketing products offered for sale will have some sort of stratagy or plan that will work if it is done enough and very few will work if you just try them once and then give up. My tip for your next year online is to do something everyday in a focused and consistent fashion and with a little luck you may well find it begins working for you much better than buying all the new products and giving up on them after a very short trial.
Make this your mantra. Consistency and focus. Stick to one thing and do it well and with a little luck next year you will be sat at home in your underpants because you want to and not because you have no money to buy more clothes.
