Those of us who move online love these kinds of stories. “How I made $2,766 in 3 weeks selling on Amazon.” It’s one of those typical titles you can read mostly on English-speaking forums and blogs. You don’t find as many success stories with accurate data (if any exist) around here, and it’s for a simple reason. yoda Photo “Yoda” by Daniel Spiess licensed under BY CC 2.0 . Selling in the United States is not the same as selling in Spain or other Spanish-speaking markets due to the sheer volume of potential customers (easily 10 times more online buyers). At the same time, there are far fewer of us compared to those who operate in the Anglo-Saxon world of Internet business. You also have to be honest. The size of the market does not automatically make you sell more . Right now I am setting up a new project with which I want to sell to Spain and the United States and in 2 weeks I have achieved a miserable sale (in Spain 4 spending less than half on advertising). What I mean. It’s easy to get excited and motivated when you read these success stories, no matter how far away they are. It is much more complicated to get going and move from emotion to action. Let us not fool ourselves. Thinking is easier than acting. It’s like landing on another planet if you want to be successful with what you do. Few people assume that they won’t get it right the first time. It takes a lot of iterations to get there. Few people have the patience to iterate enough times to find the G spot of a business. It’s like in real life. Many people pretend to know where it is, but in the end, few find it. As I said, motivation is easy, but discipline is a completely different story. I don’t know any successful entrepreneur in Spain who hasn’t put in thousands of hours and hours and hasn’t reached a successful conclusion . Making a living on the Internet with my own projects and those of clients is not easy. I have been in this industry for more than 10 years now and every week I am forced to learn something new. If you don’t like to train yourself continuously and you’re looking for quick results, don’t get involved in this world. From the outside it seems like we go from party to party making money online sleeping with projects that generate passive income. Don’t believe these fairy tale stories too much. As Yoda would probably say if he were an online entrepreneur. “If you want to make money online, you need discipline and a pair of balls”
