It's been said over and over that people can make millions online, but does it ever happen? This guide is actually a follow-up to my Guide on the truths of starting an eBay business, and I recommend you read that first if you haven't already. So now comes the big question, can YOU really make millions on the Internet? The answer has been, and will always be YES! But will it be easy? That is up for debate! My goal with you here is to simply explain the potential that is out here for everyone, so that you know it can be done.

Here is the first thing you need to realize about the Internet. It is worldwide! That means you can literally reach every person in the world with a computer and Internet access! If you reached 0.005% of the world population and had them visit your website, and only 10% of them made an order, you would be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams! It sounds crazy, but it's true.

So you want to become wealthy? Or even just mildly rich? The fact is that anyone can do it, but you need to ask yourself these quesions:

How bad do you want it? Are you willing to work hard for wealth? Because odds are it won't be given to you.

Why do you want to be rich? If you don't have a goal or reason to make the money, it gets hard to keep motivated. You need to think of a goal if you don't have one, and keep it in mind to keep you working hard. Your spouse, your kids, your parents, personal goals, charities, whatever it is that will make you want to work and inspires you to do great things.

Am I willing to take a risk? Anytime you start something new, you WILL make mistakes. Want to know a secret about most of the wealthiest people in the world? They made the most mistakes out of all of us! But they refused to give up. Instead they got up, learned from their experience, and worked even harder. Did you know the average millionaire has gone bankrupt several times before they hit it big? How much are you willing to risk?

The bottomline is that success comes from desire. It sounds corny and cliche-ish, but it's the truth! If you have ever felt overworked, underpaid, and/or underappreciated, then you have more than enough reason to get started with something. If you had to work for the next 7 days just doing research to find your million-dollar idea, would it be worth it? How about the next month? 3 months? 3 YEARS?

Is it worth your effort to work this hard, and know that you could be financially secure for the rest of your life? Of course! The fact is anyone can be rich, but the universe tends to reward those who are willing to give the most effort, passion, and desire. It's time for you to become that person!
