You may not agree with what I’m about to say, and that’s okay.

Because when it comes to making money online, you have to do whatever floats your boat – whatever works for you.

Most every online marketing expert teaches this two-step process for having tremendous success with your business:

1.) Identify problems people are having.

2.) Offer (sell) them the solutions.

Sounds great and it’s not bad advice.

Millions of people turn to the internet every day searching for solutions to everything from acne to a zipper that’s stuck.  It’s just a fact of life.

Someone who’s suffering with back pain in the middle of the night doesn’t go to their local emergency room anymore – without checking the internet FIRST – hoping to find some information that will bring them relief.

Can you prosper from selling solutions to back pain and a myriad of other problems people are having?  Absolutely – if that’s what floats your boat.

I lean in that “other” direction.

I believe you’ve got to be highly motivated to get up every day and sit down at your computer.  Otherwise, the novelty of making money online and all the hard work required to have success at it will wear off pretty quickly.

When your motivation starts to fizzle out and you’re no longer inspired, working online can become a chore and begin to feel more like a j-o-b.  You know, that obligatory thing a lot of people want to stop being a slave to?

So I’m going to come right out and say that I think the best and biggest success you’ll experience online is by creating a business that’s directly related to your passions in life.

When you can authentically communicate your expertise, talents, and skills to your target audience, you’ve got a much better chance of having a successful online business.

So before you throw a tomato my way …
