I have seen so many people give up on making money off the internet. One of the main reasons for this is they want instant results. A lot of people just think they can throw some ads on a website and the next day they will be making good money. You may laugh at this, but you would be surprised at how many people think that way. This is because so many people do not understand a lot about computers and the internet. They do not understand how online advertising works and that if 10 people visit your site a day you’re not going to make any money.

Maybe it’s because a lot of people myself included make it sound so easy. It’s not easy, but in my opinion it’s much easier than working a 9-5 job and doing something that you do not enjoy doing. Plus I don’t really have a schedule and some days I don’t have to do anything. But hey that’s not what this post is about. This post is about instant results.

I think everyone including myself is looking for the get rich quick scheme and many people think that the internet is it. People start sites and expect to be quitting their jobs the next month. Really it’s not that simple and a lot of these people will give up on their idea because at first they are not making that much money if any at all. These people do not realize that on the internet your website is not going to become popular overnight and it can take months, even years for it to become profitable. I started ThinkComputers in 2001 and it did not turn a profit until 2005.

This is where these people need to do the internet as a hobby and see where it goes from there. Do not expect to make a ton of money real quick and don’t expect to quit your day job. If you work hard and are lucky enough you will eventually be able to quit your job. It’s just that you cannot give up and hell it’s not costing you that much to maintain your website I’m sure. So with everything said don’t expect instant results just stay focused, work hard, and one day you just might be able to quit that day job. Good Luck!
