Top 3 Reasons Why You Fail To Make Money Online
Some people will never make money online. These people do not possess the necessary attitude, or focus, needed to produce a positive stream of income. As such, I have decided to post what I think are the top 3 reasons why people fail to make money online.
1. Laziness - Creating income online is extremely time consuming. Additionally, it does not happen overnight. Many people will choose to quit before they ever see their first dollar. Are you one of those people?
2. Entrecard - I cannot tell you how much time is wasted dropping these stupid little cards. Don’t get me wrong, I love Entrecard, but you have to learn to balance the time you spend dropping with the time you spend working on your passive streams of income.
3. Life - Time is a major issue for a lot of people. If you are like me, you work 12 hours a day. When you get home, the last thing you want to do is work another two or three hours. The problem is that if you want to make money, you have to put in the effort. You must put in the effort to see the results.
What do you think? What reasons can you think of that cause you to fail?

this is why you have to like what you do
i talked to some people who holds really successful careers and the only advice they give is that you have to love what you do
to them, work is a game and its quite addictive
applying the same idea on earning money online - believe the first thing should be to enjoy being online
I agree with most of what you said, but would add the difficulty there is in finding good online work sites. It took me almost a year to find these because of sites that are just advertisements. If it weren’t for the good people who put up the work at home sites on the Today network, I would have never found them.
I agree about the difficulties with blogging. Today drops people unless they have a huge number of hits. That’s tough to swallow, getting dropped, that is. Today should be more patient.
Having said that, blogging takes a huge amount of work, and it has to be a labor of love. Entrecard is a great idea if you understand how it works and have the time to make it work. Facebook and the like is not as effective as a blogging helper.
Good topic!
@ fionawong0501 - I agree. If you do not love it, you will not succeed
@ wearmanyhats - Thanks for stopping by. You bring up some great points!
@pfincome - Lately I have not been dropping many cards at all. What’s the point? I would rather have a few readers actually hand around and comment versus having thousands of people dropping off their imaginary business cards (sorry if this offends any power droppers)
@ Matt - I log into entrecard before going to my favorite blogs. I typically drop my card of those blogs before hitching a ride from one of their links to another great blog or two.
Thanks everyone for stopping by and posting your opinions. I really appreciate it.
Time is the major issue for a lot of people,but folks should take time to build a biz in Today’s times.
I just posted a business opportunity. I’m new to this site and I think I made a big mistake. I love writing about news, so when I decided to choose my topic I chose Offbeat News.
Suddenly, I had the bright idea to post my bus opp here. I proceeded to create a category called No Investment Business Opportunities. I assumed it wouldn’t also be in the Offbeat News Topic listings, but it is. I guess the category is just a sub-heading for the topic you initially choose when you join. Now I’m not sure what to do.
I happened upon your blog when I looked for the topic under which it really should be listed. If you have any suggestions for me, please advise.
Anyway, to answer your great question, I suppose that you do need to be committed and you need to have some discipline or you won’t succeed. Loving what you do is cetainly an added bonus. If you’re making enough money you can learn to love it too, I guess.
Well, this is my first comment on this site. Hope it isn’t too lengthy. Good luck to you.
