Your sitting in front of your computer, asking yourself, “Can I make money over the Internet?” “Is it really possible?” It’s either a yes or no answer, but actually coming up with that answer can be very difficult.

For many people they immediately become skeptical, which is fine, because being skeptical brings up questions, which is always a good thing. But I believe the main reason for their skepticism, regarding something like a home based business, is because it’s something that’s unconventional.

It’s a result of this unorthodox thinking that steers so many people away. They just don’t think it’s possible. It’s “hardwired” into the brains of so many people that the only way they can make money is by working at their 9 to 5 job. Why should that be true? It doesn’t have too!

Some people are forgetting that at one point in time, their 9 to 5 job was also unconventional, so why should that stop them from trying something new? You see, we’re so brainwashed into thinking like this. But these days, those horizons have expanded. The opportunities given to us have expanded.

So, what point am I trying to establish here? The point I’m trying to establish actually relates to most people’s limiting beliefs. Let me give you an example. There was actually a study done by Harvard Business School using the USA Today Publication. They placed two ads in this newspaper, which was part of the test. The first ad read: Web designer wanted, full time, full benefits, 401k, salary of 120k to start, fax resume to: 222.222.2222. The second ad read: Web designer wanted, full time, full benefits, 401k, salary of 18k to start, fax resume to: 333.333.3333.

The final results were in. Only twelve people responded to ad number one! An incredible two hundred people responded to ad number two! The twist here is that the ad was for the same exact position for the same exact company in the test!

The reason people chose the lower paying income is because they felt that their ability will warrant that type of income, that level of pay. When they see 120k/year, they question their own ability and don’t see themselves as having the ability that warrants that high salary or high income. It is more common for the average person to see themselves as having an ability that is at the medium/average paying income, in this case, 18k/year, hence the end result being the fact that more people responded to the low paying job instead of the high paying job and thus why the statistics showed such results. That is the reason.

Do you now see how people through their own limited beliefs cut themselves out of so much opportunity in their lives? Just in the same way that many people, unfortunately, will never be able to grasp the fact that yes, indeed, it is possible to make money over the Internet. Not just any money. I’m talking about an abundance of money that will allow people to live the live they deserve. The freedom that they deserve. But first, they must break out of that mentality.

Once this first and most crucial step has been taken care of, the other “things” come to follow more naturally. When you’ve accepted the possibility and reality that, yes, you can make an abundance of money over the Internet, you’re ready to take the next step. There are many articles you can find on great online businesses. On ways to make money online. Research. Get like-minded people and do it together. Just know that it can be done.

When I personally decided to take the plunge and start earning an income from the Internet, I also faced many issues, not believing and knowing I could do it being one of them. I had the naysayers, which instilled doubt in my head, but I pushed forward. Ultimately, I am the one in control of my life. I took action, and like Nike says: Just do it!

So, is it possible to make money or even an abundance of money over the Internet? My answer: yes. The ultimate decision though, just like many things in life, is up to You.
