Having been involved in online marketing and online income generation since God’s dog was a puppy, I have noticed a very common reason why many people fail to ever make any decent money from their online efforts.

It’s because they are putting the cart before the horse.

Let me explain.

Back in the day, many moons ago now, I had reached the point where I was wise enough to acknowledge that I needed a mentor if I was ever going to make sense of this whole ‘making money online’ thing.

The first thing I said to my new mentor was that I needed to learn how to build a website, because I had an idea that I felt would enable me to make my first real money online.

‘Why do you need a website?’, he asked.

I told him that obviously, I needed a website to be able to sell my idea to the masses.

‘Do you know how to drive traffic to your website?’, he asked.

I told him that no, I had no idea how to do that yet.

‘Then, why the hell do you want to learn how to build a website, before you even know how to send visitors to a website?’.

Hmmm.
