WHY Do You Want To Make Money Online?
Just a quick post as I’m frantically packing and surrounded by boxes.
Why? Well I’m moving to Spain next week, or to be more precise, back to Spain. I first lived in Spain around 5 years ago and at the time was commuting between there and the UK for work. It was ok for a while but was never going to work on a long term basis.
I knew I wanted to have a business I could run from anywhere in the world and that’s when I started my internet marketing journey just under a year ago. It’s not been easy and still isn’t. I still have a long way to go to reach the level of income I desire but at least now I’m going in the right direction.
There have been many times in the last 8 months I have felt like just giving up on the whole internet marketing scene. I’m not immune to those moments even now. Trying to crack this whole making money online game has to be one of the most frustrating tasks I have ever undertaken.
I’m sure you have felt the same way many times.
There is definitely a process you have to go through before it all starts to make sense. If you are going to make it to the end of that process there is one thing you are going to need……
A big enough “WHY”!
It’s fine wanting something to happen, but if there is not a big enough WHY behind that desire, it will be a difficult journey.
Yes, I want an online business and significant income from it but it is the WHY that keeps me motivated and pushing ahead.
The big WHY for me is been able to live anywhere in the world I choose and still be able to run my business.
So WHY do YOU want to make money online??
Well, for the money of course I hear you say 
Why though? This really is an important part of your planning process.
Spend some time thinking about what you want but most importantly why you want it and WRITE IT DOWN. Once you have a clearly defined ‘WHY’ it will be much easy for you to achieve your goals.
And don’t forget, you need to believe it to achieve it. So once you know what you want and why, believe it will happen.
Right, I really must get back to the packing. How do we end up with so much crap? LOL
To your success!
Mark

Congratulations Mark on being able to get back to Spain. I envy you because my goal is to go and live in a house I have in Turkey. At present I can only use it a couple of weeks a year.
You are dead right in what you say about being clear and specific about your goals. I’m clear about mine but I hadn’t quite thought about asking the question “Why”? and I agree it’s a very important question.
I’m in the doldrums at present but you’ve got my brain thinking again and I feel a bit of motivation coming on to get back into my Internet business as a result of asking myself “Why?”.
Best Wishes
Enjoy the sun.

Hi Joe
Thanks for your comments and im sure it will only be a matter of time before you are in Turkey full time.
Im really pleased that this short post has given you some motivation and once you know the “why” you can push ahead.
Give me a shout if I can help in anyway or if you want to discuss ideas.
All the best
Mark
p.s. I WILL enjoy the sun
Hi
Good to see your progress. I found a really good Free Traffic Getting SEO Plug-In from Jeff Johnson, that you can use to grab more free traffic from the search engines.
Just plug it in to your blog, and then watch it go to work for you almost instantly:
http://jeykumara.com/recommends/TheUndergroundTrainingLab/
The software installs in minutes and it’s SO EASY to use.
The best part is that he’ll even show you how to get more traffic with it as soon as you’re finished installing it.
Download it right now while he’s giving it away for free:
http://jeykumara.com/recommends/TheUndergroundTrainingLab/
Don’t worry:
If you already have a WP blog you can simply plug it in and let it work its Traffic-Getting magic.
And if you don’t have a blog Jeff shows you how to install a free one in as little as 2 minutes using a secret “push a button” technology that even the newest of newbies could use.
100% free and Installs in minutes.
Enjoy,

Great post, Mark.
Congratulations on moving back to where you desire to be.
I have heard about having a big enough WHY. It’s a great motivator.
All the best,
Joan
P.S. Enjoy your new place.

Hi ,
I am writing to you because earlier
this year you were kind enough to
take the time to comment on my blog.
I’ve made you a special video about
the launch of ‘Marketing With Alex 2.0′
but it also can help you boost traffic
to your website, without necessarily
spending a cent.

Did you get to Alex Jeffreys’ Video
on about to J.V. with Alex for the
launch of ‘Marketing With Alex 2.0′?
I got the replay and was pretty
impressed, although there’s some things
you need to know if you’re really
going to beat the gurus and make a
killing on this launch.
For example Alex doesn’t tell you
how to go about PR Marketing because,
although he mentions it he has never
used it.
But PR marketing is FAR more effective
than Google adwords, and undoubtedly
drives more traffic than Twitter.
Now you know that I’ve been saying for
months that we original ‘Students of
Alex’ will do far better working together
than competing against each other.
So I’ve put my money where my mouth is
and made a short video showing you how
to go about PR marketing.

Wishing you every success with your
Internet business, and especially for
the launch of ‘Marketing With Alex 2.0′

Just a quick update on my earlier
comment about the launch of Alex
Jeffreys ‘Marketing With Alex 2.0′
A new affiliate training video is

This shows how Gurus and Professional
Marketers can steal your commissions
and what you need to do to prevent
this.

Hey Mark,
How are you? good I hope, well done you to take that big step, I know you’ll do well. Sorry it’s been a while since we last talked, but as you know you can sucked into trying to do too many things all at once.
My very best wishes and hope everything goes well.

I think one of my whys is to be able to do whatever it is I want to do…right then…rather than putting it off and saying, I have to wait until I have enough money. It’s all about the freedom that having money offers.
