No matter when you search for opportunities on the internet, you'll find plenty available. There are so much tempting offer of 'get rich easy' schemes without any hard work.  It's like playing the lottery and winning all the time. 

However, do you know the real fact that 95 to 99 percent of all internet businesses fail within their first year! 

Now, how often does that happen? Did you know that about 5 percent of the people buying lottery tickets are buying 50 percent of the lottery tickets in total? What does that say you? People are falling for the hype anyway. After a while people do discover that it's much more work than they'd thought, and simply quit their new online business.

To make money on the net with half-hearted attempts aren't cutting it. Have you been online for a while now, you should have come to this conclusion that building a serious internet business takes effort and time, as any other business does.

What is the reason that so many opportunity seekers fail to earn an income on the Internet?

After some research on the net, it is found that it is mainly due to a number of obstacles:

TIME ALLOCATION

The lack of time is definitely one of the greatest obstacles to starting your own business. Many of these people have a full-time job, have children to care for, do volunteer work, and generally have busy lives.  Starting a business is going to require sacrifices. Think about any time wasters you currently might have; can you use the time you are spending watching TV each night to work on your business instead?

This doesn't mean that you should cut everything else out of your life. We all still need to do exercise, relax, eat right to stay healthy and function properly. Since the time is never right, you just have to get creative about organizing your time.

COMPUTER FAMILIARITY

Do you have worries about 'Technical' Stuff? It can be overwhelming to try to figure out what's what when you're a 'newbie' to the world of computers. Take your time, that more you ask that more you learn. Don't be afraid to ask the stupid questions to anyone about this issue. There are no stupid questions in this world.

Obviously, you are going to spend lots of hours with your computer and you need to have the best relationship with it if you're planning to do business online! Be prepared that your computer will crash some day, it's not if it will it's more 'when'. 

It is highly recommend that you should back up your stuff weekly or monthly. It takes away a lot of frustration if you are prepared in advance.  No expertise is needed from you; you just need to be comfortable. Take your time and learn how your computer works to be more relaxed and your PC rage will forever disappear. Check with your colleagues at work or your friends and search for communities, subscribe to a computer magazines and you will find excellent tips and tricks how to operate you computer in the best way. 

LEARNING HTML

Don't bother too much about learning HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)?  HTML is the language used to create web pages, it's interpreted and read by your web browser.  Today, there are friendly software such as Front page or Dream weaver and you don't need to know any code at all!  Furthermore, there are plans which you can sign up which include ready made web templates.  All you need to do is to update the contents and customize it online.  You doesn't even need to learn  any html software at all.

GETTING START-UP CASH

Money! Surprisingly, this is one of the least mentioned worries I've heard from my research on this issue. This is a really good one; working online doesn't have to be expensive at all; as long as you already have a computer, your expenses can very easily be less than $100 a month - and often much less. My own experience is showing that the expenses in the first few months online were less than $50 a month, just for web hosting and Internet access.

HOW CAN YOU RE-COVER YOUR BUSINESS COSTS?

- Work part-time at your job and part-time on your business;
- Use some of your savings;
- Borrow funds from your friends or family or both;
- Apply for and take out a small business loan.
- Work on your business part-time while continuing to work full-time;

FAMILY SUPPORT

Do you have fears about lack of support from family and friends? This is not an easy one. Maybe your family and friends will tell you to quit your stupid ideas with making business online. Well, set your mind and focus on what you want to accomplish. This is really important if you experience difficulties getting support from your loved ones. Family and friends are supposed to support us because they love us, right?

For many of us, family and friends who are seeking to 'protect' us from scams may either deliberately or inadvertently make discouraging remarks.  There are no fast rules for handling family and friends; if you're not yet comfortable telling others about your online ventures, then don't. Take it slow and let them know when you are ready to tell them. When you think the time is right tell them that you are building a substantial business and that you would appreciate their support.

Make a conscious choice to achieve your goals with your online business and put aside the time and effort needed to build a substantial lasting business.  Go ahead and let nothing come between you and your success to make your online income!
