You have to have a lot of money to make money on the Internet. Not true. Many successful Internet businesses were started on a shoestring and have gone onto become giants.
One delusion is that you need to sell a lot of different products to make money. Not true. Finding a single niche and concentrating on making that work is how most people make money. It’s about focus.
Another myth is that you need a large web presence in order to make the maximum amount of profits. Not true. All you need to do is sell a quality product at an affordable price to create a loyal base of customers. It’s not that different than other businesses.
Being Your Own Boss means working on your own. Not true. Most freelancers and owners of home based businesses find themselves constantly networking with other individuals to create business and business-to-business business.
Many beginners also thing that “Freelancing will allow me more free time” Not at first. During the first year of your operations expect to work harder and longer hours than you ever did at your full time job. That is what it takes to get the business of off the ground. This is true no matter what.
