The opportunity to sit at home and make real money online is a goal that many people have. Fortunately, in this time and age, it really doesn't take much of a financial investment to make that a reality. Where it would normally take thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of dollars to start up a brick and mortar business, most online businesses can be set up for under a hundred dollars. Never has it been this easy to make passive income on a monthly basis. The internet allows individuals to compete against major corporations. And if you don't to take it that far, you still have the ability to create and run a web-based business that can net your a few hundred to a few thousand dollars each month.

With as easy as it is to start an online venture, most people fail to make consistent income on a monthly basis. In order to make real money online, you need to practice three habits to maximize your chances of success. Most people simply do the wrong things. And if you are taking incorrect actions, in doesn't matter how hard or how long you work at your internet business. You will still fail to make any ongoing income.

Think of the story about the fly trying to get out of the house. He sees a window. He sees that on the other side of the window, there is the outside. So he tries to fly through the window. And no matter how hard or long he tries, he simply can't fly through it.

Don't let that be the story of you and your online business ventures. Let me share some habits that you can follow that will "open the window" and allow your efforts to truly get you to where you want to go.

3 Habits You Should Practice In Order To Make Real Money Online:

1. Stick to one strategy. Most people try one internet marketing technique and when they don't see immediate results, they switch to a new technique. The problem with this is that many strategies don't show instant results. In fact, they may show no profits for the short term. However, the cumulative effects will bring out some major income a little further down the road. Most people quit prematurely thinking that this marketing strategy doesn't work, and they end up never seeing the fruits of their efforts. So after you decide on which marketing technique to act on, be committed to work on it for 3-6 months before deciding whether or not it works or not.

2. Learn the basics. You shouldn't spend months buying and reading about every internet marketing strategy under the sun. However, you should spend some time learning the basics. What are the basics? You should have a strong understanding of: keyword research, backlink creation, insertion of simple HTML code, pre-selling, etc. No need to be an expert, but knowing the basics will allow you to make better decisions when it comes to your online ventures.

3. Take action every day. Too many people get really excited about making real money online, focus on it hard for a couple of days, and then do nothing. When they don't see income being made, they blame internet marketing for the failure. To make consistent money online, you don't have to work 8-10 hours a day. However, you do have to take consistent action to get consistent results. If you do just one high priority task each day (ie. writing on article, creating one page of content, etc), you will see long term results from it. If you were to write just one article a day, you'd have 365 articles published over a year point to whatever moneysite that you have. If you wrote one post each day, you'd have a blog with 365 posts a year from now. A little bit each day will add up as time goes by.

Most people never make real money online. Like the fly, they pound away at the window, never getting anywhere. By putting the three habits above into practice, you will open the internet marketing window and be one of the few who develop lasting, passive income via the web.
