Making money on line is easy for some people and difficult for others. There are a few key ingredients that separate the winners for the rest. 95% of new Internet Marketers give up and go back to the drudgery of working for someone else. Be in the top 5% and be proud of your success by following these 10 easy tips.
1) Work hard. There is no secret or magic button. Sure watch the secret and use the law of attraction because it is important to believe in yourself. Listen to the expert Rich Schefren and he will say “The Secret and hard work equals success”
2) Do not get distracted. Rich will tell you to turn off your phone and close email and social networks and set your kitchen timer for 50 minutes of undistracted work. Rich also will tell you it takes 2 hours to get in a groove in your work. This means that if you get distracted every 20 minutes you basically will not get any work done.
3) Take time to think. Many people go day to day without really spending time seriously thinking. One way to help is to change your environment, go to Starbucks or the park and spend a few hours thinking and writing down your ideas.
4) Keep a journal. Each day write in your journal what worked and how you can improve the results or process you worked on that day. Just about every top marketing guru keeps a journal like this.
5) Empty your brain of stuff you need to do to make room for new ideas. If you have a broken door knob to your office every time you see it it will use brain cells to remember to fix it. Take the time to fix all the little annoying things that you see every day or are on your mind. It really frees up brain cells to think about bigger and better things.
6) Create a plan and follow it through to monetization. So many self employed people have trouble to stay focused on one project at a time. Multitasking is bad. It should be called limited attention because when you allow your brain to think of more than one thing at a time, it is not working full strength for you on the one important thing that needs to get done. “Have a clear vision of what you are trying to create” quote from Cash in a Flash Book
7) Prioritize your activities. Always do the thing that will result in making money instead of checking email, sending a tweet or updating Facebook, try finishing that special report needed to acquire prospects. One good way to do this is to write down 3 things you will accomplish each morning. If you are not sure what project to do, assign probabilities and weights to the time and revenue and pick the one that best meets your needs of low time or high money.

8) Be grateful. Each day write down 10 things you are grateful for because being grateful is very powerful to get your mind thinking the right way.
9) Take action and revise later. Perfection is not as important as timing. Get it done so it is acceptable and get it done sooner rather than later. Think 80% solution rather than perfection.
10) Create a sales funnel. Start with finding prospects, capturing email addresses, offering something of value like $50, and then offering ability to learn more with another product or up sell. People do not like to be sold to. People do like to buy things. Only talk benefits and not features and find the emotional need that can be filled with your product. Promise a big benefit or or delivery from pain or problems. Provide results in advance, give away your best stuff to help you prospects along the way to the solution. Then you can offer a product or solution to get the rest of the way to the destination.
PS) Mastermind with like minded individuals. 
Going it alone is always more difficult than working as a team to bounce ideas around and get suggestions about your ideas and plans.
