There is only one thing that is certain about making money online and Internet marketing and that is that things can change at any time. Affiliate accounts get canceled, campaigns fail and do not produce the results we want, affiliate programs close, software we love stops being supported, venues come and go, etc. As marketers it is important that we learn to role with the punches, not put all our eggs in one basket and be flexible and rugged enough to handle changes that are both within and beyond our control. And most important never give up on reaching our goals.

Many newbies who begin the make money online venture have the misconception that buckets of cash will start to roll in droves 3 months after they launch a website. WRONG! This does not happen, as it takes hands-on experience, time, dedication and effort to make money online. Most of those newbies will not wait to see the magic happen as they will give up before it possibly can.

If you think that the big online successes like Jeremy Shoemaker (Shoemoney), Courtney Tuttle, or John Chow just to name a few, made their big online bucks in their first month or even first year online, think again!

In fact, if you have ever read about John’s or Jeremy’s history at all, you will know that they struggled to make even a dime in their initial years, especially Jeremy. And John, who was actually there when the whole Internet thing came to be, lived through and survived the infamous Internet crash, BUT, neither had given up and both now enjoy enormous wealth and the fruits of their labor.

Failed campaigns are another bone of contention that can trigger defeat and marketers to give up. It is something all of us have either dealt with or will deal with in the future. One of the keys to success in this business is perseverance and faith. And a true acceptance of the fact that some campaigns will fail, not all will make us money, or make us famous, whatever your goal online maybe.

This is why it is crucial to adjust goals and venues as needed to reach that ultimate goal of financial independence and to be free of the 9 to 5. I think overall that is the ultimate goal for all of us.

Putting your eggs in one basket online is not the safest or best idea and can be self defeating in the end. We have to diversify our campaigns, look to different monetization venues and options, build more sites once we feel comfortable with the process and press forward no matter what.

In reality, to me there is no failure online, as I learn from each and every one of my ventures, whether they reach their goals or not. In fact, I truly believe that the failures I have experienced were my biggest teachers. Many times learning what doesn’t work and what not to do can be the biggest propellers to success.

So press on no matter what, and do not let negativity, feelings of defeat, common changes and failures deter you from your goals!

Success will happen, with the correct knowledge, hard work, patience and faith, you will reach your goals, convince yourlself of that, follow the correct techniques and your half way there! The make money online business is a viable, real and credible venture and one that has an unlimited amount of potential.

I truly believe that and I hope this helps those of you who maybe feeling like giving up now or in the future.

What do you guys think? Anyone ever felt like giving up? How do you deal with failures online?
