Anyone could be forgiven for believing that it is easy making money on-line. After all, we are bombarded with adverts day in day out, stating that this ‘automatic system, once set, will make you a millionaire in one or two weeks’, all without any effort on your part.

Anyone who has been trying to make a living on the internet for more than six months, knows that the reality is not quite like that. The only sure and steady way to make money on the internet is to sell either a product or service (your own or someone else’s as an affiliate) and of course to find buyers for that product.

Selling is not a natural born instinct in most of us, and for that reason there will always be people who do ‘all the right things’ but still make no sale, whereas others within the same company seem to be doing much better.

My guess is that the people who do best on the internet are those who understand that selling, like any other profession, takes learning.  Sales training is a good idea, it will help you market yourself, your opportunity or product and your service. It will teach you to follow up with your clients, to understand what makes someone buy from you rather than from someone else. We would not expect to become doctors without any training, so why would selling be any different.
