Working from home isn’t for everyone, but anyone CAN reach a high level of success if they’re willing to put in the work.
I have reached this level. So I want to share with you what has helped me get there, and has been a much bigger help on my journey than you actually think.
Enjoy!
Have A Plan (Schedule/What needs to be done, Etc)
Without a plan, you’re running around like a headless chicken – Just ‘winging’ it is a recipe for disaster. When you have a plan laid out in front of you, it pushes you to get that work finished.
This is what I still do until this day with all projects or tasks I start.
A small to-do list is one way to do it, lay out your days work. If you want to get more accurate on everything that needs to be done, lay out your entire weeks tasks.
Get Up Early
You can’t get work done when you’re sleeping can you?
No.
All the more reason to get up bright and early so you can work on your projects. When I get up late I don’t feel motivated to do any of my work and I end up being almost completely unproductive.
However, getting up early in the morning is a great way to start your day and it’s something many successful people do.
This also helps with my exercise program, which is another thing that you need to look into if you do decide to start your own online business.
Don’t Be Afraid To Invest Your Money
Don’t think that purchasing systems or investing your money into something as wasting it. You should be thinking of it as a necessity until you get your Return On Investment.
In this day and age, the cost of creating a business online has dropped dramatically.
It is so much easier to start a website and get it and running for the world to see now.
With the help of Social Media platforms, it’s a lot easier to connect with your audience too.
Find A Proven System
I know, it’s a struggle for all of us and if it was so easy everyone would be doing it.
You’re more than likely going to jump from system to system, and shiny object to shiny object, until you find the right community.
Until then it’s going to be a real struggle, or you can just do what I did.
I gave Wealthy Affiliate the benefit of the doubt and tried out their 7 day trial. You won’t need to pay a hefty membership either – $0 to join and start learning right away.
Essentially, it is a tight-knit community filled with people like you and I just trying to find success in an online world that’s full of gurus who are scamming everyone to make a quick buck.

Focus On Serving Your Audience
A fallacy I see most people doing is praising every product they review or giving false claims on different topics.
When your audience smells something fishy, they will click the back button faster than your site even loaded.
In a busy world full of impatient people, you have to know exactly what they want and what they are looking for.
Having a website is one of the easiest ways you can connect with them and help them with their needs.
When you can serve your audience and give them exactly what they want, the money will come.
We do all of this at Wealthy Affiliate and explain everything in better detail.
Give Yourself Time
One of the biggest obstacles that many people face, they aren’t giving themselves much time.
Days and weeks is not enough time to get a successful business going in the real world, so why expect it to be enough time on the world wide web?
However, an online business IS much faster to become successful than a real life business, where as you will see income in a matter of months and enough money to live off in 1-2 years.
We’re getting off-topic here, but as you can see, your online business income is determined on how much work you put into it.
In a real world business, (most of the time) there’s much more difficult paper work behind it all, especially when you have to start recruiting more people, more resources, and things like that.
Stay Consistent
You don’t have to put a whole lot of work into your online business either. The best thing about working from home is that you can put an hour each day into your online business and it will set you up for a very nice passive income down the line.
The longer you stick it out for and the more work you put into it, the more money you can make.
“You get back what you put in” is a great way to describe exactly what an online business is about.
You put in the time to serve your audience, you get paid in return for years to come. It really is as simple as that.
My Final Thoughts
A huge mistake people make is going all in for the first few days to a week (meaning they work all day, everyday) hoping for gold and being let down when they don’t see results.
Hence why an online business should be treated as a real business and not some sort of side hustle.
Good things take time, and when you put a little time into your business each day, those little actions soon start to add up to big results.
1 hour a day = 365 hours of work you have put into your business for a whole year. That’s a very nice passive income that will keep going for years to come.
In conclusion
The final results are determined on how much time you want to give yourself and how consistent you are. Even if it’s 30 minutes a day – that adds up to plenty of work hours towards your business over a years time.
I hope these 7 tips that have worked for me help you on your journey to see success online as well.
It is extremely hard for all of us, but the successful people and the failures are determined by whoever puts in the work and who is consistent enough.
How bad do you really want to make money online?
Good luck out there!
