Press Release Summary: Can you make money online? CAN you make money while you
sleep? I don't mean an extra $200 a month to pay for groceries, but a real living.
If so, how do you go about it?

Press Release Body: It's a crying shame really. So many people have tried to follow
the Internet dream. They've heard the stories of others who quit their day jobs,
wake up whenever they choose, take leisurely lunches with friends, shop for hours on
end without one worry about how to pay for their purchases, buy new cars and pay
cash for them, and make money hand over fist while they sleep. Naturally, these
people would drool over the thought of being able to do the same for themselves.

However, as the landslide of people all across the globe began to flock to the 'Net
much like they did to California in the gold-rush days, they find that making money
while you sleep might be a myth. They wonder if they've just been led astray by
wicked, evil people with nothing better to do than make fools out of innocent,
hardworking folks.

What is the answer? Can you make money online? CAN you make money while you sleep? I
don't mean an extra $200 a month to pay for groceries, but a real living. If so, how
do you go about it?

It's True! I'm Doing It Myself!

First of all, it's not a myth. I can honestly tell you that I am making a full-time
living online. And yes, there have been many mornings where I've awakened, turned on
my computer, and found notifications of sales that occurred during the night. I AM
making money while I sleep, and you can, too.

Let me tell you what I think probably happened to generate this long-standing myth.

The early Internet pioneers discovered ways to make automated income. They realized
this was a wonderful thing and began to spread the news to everyone they knew. Then,
however, those unscrupulous types (you know... the jerks) saw this as an easy way to
make a fast buck. They began preaching that making automated income online was as
easy as pouring yourself a glass of water. In essence, they told half the story. As
more and more people tried to make a living online and failed, the promise of making
money while you sleep became fiction instead of fact.

So How Do You Do It?

What's the real truth? How can you make a full-time living online just like me?
There are several ways. Let me give you the unvarnished gospel when it comes to
online business. You may not like what you hear, but it is fact, not fluff.

ACTION STEP 1
Plan, Plan, Plan - It won't happen overnight. Nothing good ever does. In the
beginning, you're going to create a plan then be ready to work that plan. You often
hear about throwing up a website and making money while you sleep. Technically, yes,
that's all there is to it. But... how does that site get up on the 'Net?

You have to create your site or have someone else create it. That means you have to
take the time to learn professional website development (PLEASE, don't create some
junky, homemade-looking site!), or you have to pay someone who already knows how to
create websites. And what will you have on your site? Your own products? (Having
your own e-products is highly recommended.) Someone else's products? You'll need to
decide before your site is created.

How will people pay for the products they buy from your site? Do you have a merchant
account? Will you become an affiliate for someone else so you don't need a payment
system?

Will you go for high search engine rankings or rely on word-of-mouth, PPC ads, and
other types of paid advertising? If you want good search engine optimization, you'll
have to plan for that upfront. Again, you'll have to take time to learn how to do it
or pay someone else who already knows how.

Before you take one more step toward launching your own Web business, find the
answers to the questions above.

ACTION STEP 2
Be Ready to Work - Once your site is ready to launch, how will people find you? How,
exactly, will you drive qualified visitors to your site? Will you use organic (free)
search engine listings? Will you use Pay-Per-Click search engine ads? Will you buy
ezine ads? Do you have other means for getting customers to visit your site? People
won't just come out of the blue, you'll have to bring them to your site somehow.

Even if you choose to go for the organic search engine listings, you'll have about a
4-week to 4-month wait before seeing your new site listed. What will you do in the
meantime to drum up business?

ACTION STEP 3
How Will You Keep It Going? - Prosperous businesses are continually growing to keep
up with customer demands. How will you keep your online business moving forward?
Will you do research into what consumers want? Will you guess? Will you just follow
the crowd?

You'll want to have some method for gauging customer responses so you can know what
your site visitors want and how to provide it for them.

One such way is to use Survey Monkey (http://www.surveymonkey.com). You can create
online surveys in order to keep up with the needs/wants of your site visitors.

ACTION STEP 4
Service Is Key! - In order to make it in the long run, you simply must provide
exceptional customer service to your clients. Those who lie, steal, cheat, or hide
are destined to fail.

Understand this: Your success depends on your customers' success. If they aren't
happy, you won't be in business long. Make every effort to treat them as the kings
and queens they are.

See? The people who turned the \"make money while you sleep\" fact into fiction did so
because they skipped all the important information. Now that you know what to
expect, you can see that it is most definitely possible to make a full-time living
online. It is even possible to make money while you sleep. However, you must have a
plan, be ready to work, look for ways to keep your business growing, and treat your
customers as true V.I.P.s.

When you do, you'll have all the tools you need to develop a long-standing business
that - with time - will produce for you.
