Recently, I saw a poster saying something like there’s more than a billion people in this world and sometimes, you only need one. I liked it. So I went and searched for it and found something even better… a video.

Someone had made a video about it and someone else made a clip and stuck it on YouTube. Good news for me and everybody.

It’s about the same with the internet, there’s a gajillion ways to make a bajillion dollars. But even if there’s a billion ways to do it, sometimes, you really only need one.

As I lurk around on an internet marketing forum, someone will create a thread and ask about how they can make money online.

And on that forum, there are countless threads expounding on the various strategies to making it happen. Some go into such excruciating detail that my eyes glaze over upon seeing the whole chunk of text. They just need to jump in on that thread and do what it says.

You know how some gurus say its easy to make money online and they can make thousands in just a quick push of the email send button? Its true.

You know how some gurus say you need a product to make money online and they can make thousands just by selling a simple less-than-impressive 20 page report? Its true.

You know how some gurus say traffic is the only real skill you need online and with it, you can make money anywhere? Its true.

However, you need to choose one and stick with it.

Also, on the forums, almost as frequently there will be threads posted by people who state they know how to do it but they don’t know where to start or they’re frustrated with little or no results.

I sympathize with these people the most because not only can I resonate with their problems, I also know it’ll be extremely hard for them to get out of the rut precisely because they know what they’re doing.

It’s like a student telling a professor there’s another way to solve the problem.

There are 2 large majority of people who struggle with making money online: those who know nothing and those who know everything.

Those who know a lot get trapped because they know how to do it but when it comes to executing, perfection kicks in and they start questioning themselves whether there’s a better way to do it.

Those who know nothing can’t proceed because they don’t know how and feel they cannot do it without the right information and preparation.

Fortunately, all these are learned responses and can be “un-learned” by simply taking action over and over until it becomes habit.

If you are stuck, get unstuck by choosing a business model, a method, a strategy and going FULL STEAM with it. Just run with it. If your shoelaces fall out while running, finish the race and then tie your shoelace. If you want to make some income online, pick a method and go with it.

That’s the only way to make money online.
