This is a question that I get asked over and over again.  When should a person bail on an online strategy, if it isn’t bearing any fruit and making them money online?

The best way that I can answer that is to attain what your online business is  comprised of and what your goals are.  Everyone’s online business is different and everyone has a different set of income goals.

You need to identify these things, from the beginning.  Know your goals and what you want to make and need to make.  You need to have these things in mind, from the beginning.

The first thing that you need to know is how long can you go without making any income online?  That is the first question that needs to be answered.  Do you have another stream of income that is supporting you and your family or not?

Some people are just doing the Internet Marketing thing as a side project, after their day job.  Some people are unemployed and need to make money online.  That was the case for me when I first started out online.

If you’re an Internet Marketer on the side, you can obviously have more patience with a strategy than someone who needs to support themselves with Internet Marketing.  For a person that is doing Internet Marketing on the side, then you have a longer time period to devote, but do take action.  Don’t just read and read and never take action.

If you’re in need of a full-time online income, then you better really get to work.  The first thing that you need to do is to identify someone who is successful online.

Find someone that is open to showing people how they’re successful online.  One of the best places to do that is on Marketing forums.  You can observe other people’s online success, when they share it with the forum.

If they are active members, just go ahead and send them an e-mail or private message.  Get to know them and how they’re marketing and emulate them.
