It is really frustrating when you hear of all the people making $5,000, $10,000, or more a month from their internet home based business. Everywhere you turn there are ways and means to do this but you don't have a clue as to what to do next. It is interesting that all of these sites will get you in the door for $49.95 BUT if you want to really make serious money it will cost you $5,000. If I had $5,000 I probably wouldn't be looking as hard to build an online business.

You and I are told that all you have to do is "build it and they will come." Well this isn't your Iowa corn field "Field of Dreams." There's more to it than just having a website. A website without traffic or "eyeballs" is like having a drinking glass with no bottom---useless. Well where does the traffic come from then? This is where Paul Harvey's "Rest of the Story" would be helpful. This is the moment of truth and the truth will set you free, right? Search engines, free or paid advertising, email campaigns (spam), and time. It takes lots and lots of time. I know for a fact that it's not as easy as the hype says it is. I have an online shopping site at http://blackhawk.ispeedway.com/ and for the first month I was the only visitor to the site. My own site mind you!

Now I've started putting some of my products on the "auction sites" as I've now been told that this is how and where the real money is made. O really! Why wasn't I told this before? It seems that the majority of these web site folks are young'uns and don't understand that us older folks need a little more help. It would really be nice to see something work for a change rather than hoping to win the lottery.
