Making money online isn't easy. In fact, it took me over 2 years to make my first dime. Making a living as an Internet Marketer takes a lot of time and effort and it isn't for everyone.

Here are a few of the qualities that I have found to be highly important in order to make it.

1. You need to be willing to spend money to purchase the tools and education you need.

2. You need to be willing to educate yourself.

3. You need to apply what you learn and TAKE ACTION. (This one took me a long time to 'get')

4. The discipline to be consistent.

5. The patience to be persistent. Take it from someone who has been there, it takes a LONG time to make a good living online. Too many people give up just before they are about to succeed.

What qualities have you found to be necessary for success online?

I feel like you wrote this from my experience. Great post and you are not kidding about the patience and persistence. That is definitely a mouthful. People want everything to fall in their laps quickly and out of the sky and things just do not work that way. You have to have a test to have a testimony.

The one thing that I would add is that you need the sense to know what you can and cannot do. There is little point in wasting your time on an endeavour that will fail you, when you could move onto something else.

The most important part is to take action. Without doing that, then you will have no motivation to even get started on educating yourself. Once you realize you know what to do you need to take action again to get your business underway. The key is to just never stagnate. You always have to keep improving.

A man to that, I agree with every thing you said. I would just add a couple of things to that list.
1. You need to be a self starter, there will be no one arround to tell you it is time to get to work.
2. You need to be able to motivate yourself, some days you would rather throw the computer out a window rather that turn it on.
3. You need to be organized (a big one) for me anyway, it's very easy to get side tracked for ex.. reading and answering emails, checking your Pay Pal acct. all the time,
talking on the phone, and so on.
Well I said a couple but I guess I ment three.

This is very well said. I'd add that dedication goes hand in hand with action. You have to be dedicated enough to something to be inspired to be proactive. Even if it's not for you, the time and dedication you spend learning IM techniques will assist you in all of your business ventures in the future.

patience! Don't give up! Because I'm learning a little at a time I know it'll will be a while before I see growth from the seeds I planted. I hear people ready to give up because the site they built 2 weeks ago hasn't made money yet.

Keep moving forward!

Persistence is a key quality that has yet to be mentioned. I'm sure if you polled all the forum members here most did not make money on the internet (a significant amount anyway) on their first try. You have to keep trying, keep adjusting, and most importantly keep learning. This is the only way to evolve with your market. Be persistent about everything in regards to your business and success just may follow.

God....give me patience.....NOW!!! :-D
Very good pointers and these two virtues should be at the top of the list. Thanks.

Dont expect overnight success, you need patience.
But more than anythig, you need to be on top of things always.
Constant learning & reinventing yourself is the key!
