Making a full-time income online is a dream for most of us who start an online business, but most people who try and start an online business fail to make a dime and they end up quitting.
In this post, I am going to give you three steps you must pass through on your way to making a full-time income online.
Step 1: Change your mindset and beliefs
Most people who start an online business have been working for someone for a large part of their life since they were little, they were told that you must study hard, get good grades, get a job and you will get paid.
Always there was someone to tell you what to do, and if you don’t do it they will punish you in some way, when you decide to become online entrepreneur, there is no one to tell you what to do, there is no one to punish you if you don’t do it, hence most people they will do nothing and make no money.
Also you need to change the instant gratification mindset, you do something, in few days you get paid, you have a check at the end of 2 weeks or 4 weeks, in business world it does not work like this, you might do something today and you have no idea if it will work or no, and you don’t know when you will get paid, this is a problem for many people.
Also, you need to have a belief that you can make money online, you need to believe that you’re good enough, if you don’t believe that you can make a full-time income online, probably you won’t, remember if you believe you can or you can´t you´re right.
In order to change all these, you will need to start reading self-help books, entrepreneurship books and other books related to your industry, if you can’t afford books or you´re not a book guy or girl you can watch YouTube video on those subjects and you gradually start to change your mindset.
Also, you can write some affirmation and read them the first thing in the morning and at night before going to bed, again this will help you to change the way of thinking and start attraction wealth.

Step 2: Start with free traffic
Getting traffic is an art and it should be mastered, most people will recommend you start will many traffic sources or paid traffic sources, but for me, you should always start with free traffic.
Before throwing your money on paid traffic you need to know few things about online business, if you start with nothing like I did, you don’t have enough money to buy traffic, you don’t know your niche yet, I would say until you make your first $1000, stick to the free traffic.
There are a lot ways to get traffic to the affiliate offer and squeeze pages, blogging, Pinterest, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Quora, document sharing sites etc, with time I will be posting all these free traffic methods here on my blog, make sure you visit frequently so that you won’t miss them.
Step 3: Invest in paid traffic
I like free traffic, but sometimes it is very difficult to scale, once you start making regular sales with free traffic, you should invest some of the cash on the paid traffic, this will do your online business a wonder and will make a lot of money very quickly.
A word of warning though, until you have at least $500 that you are able to lose without losing your sleep don’t invest in paid traffic, this is what I mean, paid traffic is a high risk, high reward investment, if you’re new there is a chance that you will lose money at first, if you´re taking money that you’re supposed to buy food for your kid in order to invest in paid traffic you’re risking yourself going into a trouble, it is better to spend extra 2 hours on free traffic than risking it, but if that money won’t affect your budget, I will encourage you to take that leap and invest some cash into paid traffic.
So that is it, those are three steps to make a full-time income online, if you’re just starting out or you need any help regarding starting and growing your online business, let me know and I will be glad to help out.
Thank you for reading, peace, and love
