So you want to make money online? You first need to learn how to be an entrepreneur online. I have a secret that VERY FEW people are aware of and I want to let you in on. The most effective way to build a business online is not through funnel building, “push button” systems or through Facebook Ads. The best way to build a business is by having a website. Without establishing this foundation you are going to be doomed for failure.
What else is essential? In a nutshell, entrepreneurial mindset, expectations and training. The key to being an entrepreneur online goes far beyond making money. It begins with the right mindset and expectations. Not only is the right training vital, but you need to keep your mindset steadily focused and driven. When you get this right, having the right entrepreneurial mindset means creating the financial freedom to make money from anywhere.
Does this sound difficult? What if I showed you that being in business yourself and how to start an online business from home is more straightforward thаn уоu think? And with the right training, mindset and expectations, being your own boss can be your reality.
The dіffеrеnсе between fаіlurе аnd ѕuссеѕѕ for so mаnу іѕ they give up bеfоrе thеу succeed. Understanding how to be an entrepreneur online means leveraging the internet as a money making tool and having the right mix of focus, drive, commitment and patience to achieve this.
In this post i’m going to show you how to be an entrepreneur online (even if you’re a complete beginner) through affiliate marketing and how to develop the mindset that will drive you to succeed.
Digging deeper I want to take some time to discuss exactly what it takes to become an entrepreneur online and offer those who are seeking to take this path a clear pathway to help walk them through what you need to do to make it a reality. In this post I’ll also cover:

How about you currently? Perhaps you are an employee but want to be an entrepreneur online. You still want to provide for your family, you could establish a meaningful legacy and perhaps you want to have a positive impact and change the world! If you have any doubts, please cast them aside for now. Because the reality is, anyone can achieve this if they put all the effort in and if you focus on what you WILL become, rather than creating doubts around something that “others” are achieving.

Achieving the Mindset of an Entrepreneur
I wrote a very in-depth blog post about this previously, I covered the importance of knowing your “WHY”, how you can help people and what is your passion. This will drive you when you do the work for hours online rather than watching TV, wasting time on social media or listening to the gossip at work! I also covered the mindset of an entrepreneur, shifting from an employee mindset and great resources to gain the entrepreneurial mindset.
What the Life of an Entrepreneur Online is Like
First things first, I want to set expectations and help you understand what the life of an entrepreneur is like.
Like any success in life. It does take time to be successful, but with the right training and consistent focused efforts you can too can become an expert online with your own authority website. But, you will need to be mindful of three key points:
It’s going to be challenging: When I first started out I noticed the industry leaders and was naive in thinking that I could create an online business and be successful overnight. Nothing is further from the truth, you’ll likely have a lot of trial and error before you actually succeed so you need to have persistence, commitment and sheer determination.
You will have to work at it consistently: I know I’m not alone when I ѕау thаt “Rіѕе and Grind” іѕ a mаntrа thаt many оnlіnе entrepreneurs lіvе bу when еxрlаіnіng whаt уоu need tо dо in оrdеr tо ѕuссееd. Bаѕісаllу, thеу are ѕауіng that wаkіng up аnd wоrkіng hаrd еvеrу ѕіnglе dау іѕ thе thіng thаt іѕ gоіng tо make you ѕuссееd.
Start Working Now: If you really want to succeed at being an entrepreneur online, what the first think you need to do? Get started! Some people have the idea that they will leave their full-time job and then get started on their online business, but this can be a big mistake. Take advantage of the spare hours you have each day, the income you have and build your future on the side.
Your Work Ethic Defines Your Success
Remember this, the effort you put forth right now will lead to success down the road…and can lead to success forever.
Because it is ONLINE, people for some reason think that it won’t take much work, or they can click a few buttons on their mobile device and build a flourishing business. It will not happen like that. That has happened to NOBODY…EVER.
There is a formula that is well tested over the years. It is EFFORT IN = RESULTS OUT. That formula is how to create results in your business, nothing more complex.
Your work ethic is key. Don’t think you can be like the 4 hour work week straight away, eventually yes, but you need to work your butt off initially to lay the foundation for your future success. You must work hard and then take a few weeks off. The Idea you can work very little is a fallacy.
The online world is not like a typical job, you might work 3-4 hours a day for a month straight. Your results are not reflected straight away, but usually around 3-6 months down the track. In the initial stages you are building out the foundation to your business that will produce for many years to come.
Unlike job (where you get paid by the hour), if you work 8 hours a day you are not going to get paid 2 weeks from now. So when you put in the effort right now. In this very moment, many with an employee mindset expect a “result” from their efforts right away. They give up when the don’t see that. That is what I see ALL THE TIME.
Remember this, the effort you put forth right now will lead to success down the road…and can lead to success forever.
Failure Management and Understanding How to Manage Failure
The truth is you’re going to fail a few times. It is OK to fail, it is not OK to stay a failure. Most people get caught like a deer in headlights when they come across the first thought of possible failure. Fear of failure should not prevent action, the fear of failure should lead to more action
“Do not be embarrassed by your failures. Learn from them and start again.”
— Sir Richard Branson
Let me ask a few questions here.
Do you want to know what the average child does when they fail? They try again.
Do you want to know what the average adult does when they fail? They give up.
Think about that for a second.
Failure management and how to effectively move forward after you have hit a wall, lost money, or had an entire campaign fail, has much more to do with the actual success someone creates that most people actually think.
When was the last time you failed? What was your natural reaction to this? Did it upset you?
It is upsetting, and more so as we get older and are conditioned to just “do what you are good at”. We get into the rut of our day to day lives and often don’t stretch our capabilities, which are limitless. But the reality is, our WHY and the kid in us is what can truly drive us to success in business. That lack of fear and even the naivety when trying something new. We think we can accomplish anything and the reality is that we usually can (except for when we think we can fly LoL).
How to Appropriately Manage Failure
Even for me, I realized my first two websites were not in a niche I was passionate about so I moved on. So as a seasoned “failure”, how do I manage the event of “failing”?.
(1) View Failure as a Learning Experience. Don’t act like a deer in headlights when you fail. Every time you fail at something, you learn from it. But if you still have a job, then you can fail and it isn’t that big a deal because you still have a paycheck to cover you as you’re starting out.
(2) Fear Inaction More Than Failure. I’m reiterating the point about start working now, take action. The idea of “failure” can stifle people. It has been given a bad name in life, perhaps you have failed a few times at something else?
There will eventually be the transition between the failure to success, but it won’t happen if you don’t do anything at all (as a result of your fear to fail).
Listen at Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time:
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty six times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.”
Michael Jordan
Look at the track record of “failure” from the greatest of all time!
(3) Don’t Aim for Perfection.
Don’t aim for perfection it is going to constrain your productivity. The fastest path to success is not through perfection, it is through “doing”.
Don’t aim for perfection until someone has been able to interact with what you create, like your blog articles. Better to produce 10 articles than 1 perfect article.
How to Make Money Using Affiliate Programs
To achieve your goals, often all you need is the right vehicle to get you there. Did you know that affiliate marketing is one of the most profitable and growing industries in the world, with over 6 billion in revenue per year. It is only growing more with “Affiliate Marketing” search interest growing 30% in one year.
Dіd уоu know thеrе are trаvеl bloggers whо trаvеl аrоund thе world gеttіng раіd to rеvіеw thе places thеу stay at and еvеn thе аіrlіnеѕ thеу uѕе to gеt thеm thеrе? Thеу dо іt thrоugh аffіlіаtе mаrkеtіng. Would уоu love tо trаvеl often?
If уоu’rе іntеrеѕtеd іn learning аll about аffіlіаtе marketing and hоw іt works, rеаd my роѕt “How to Mаkе Mоnеу Affіlіаtе Mаrkеtіng fоr Bеgіnnеrѕ” аnd think аbоut іt frоm the “customer” side аnd іntо thе “еntrерrеnеur” side of things.
Hоw mаnу tіmеѕ hаvе уоu ѕеаrсhеd fоr a rеvіеw оnlіnе bеfоrе buуіng something? You rеаd thе review, fоllоw a lіnk thаt dеlіvеrѕ уоu tо the рrоduсt’ѕ website, сlісk thе lіnk, buy thе рrоduсt, аnd уоu’rе dоnе.
Did уоu realize that the реrѕоn that wrote thаt rеvіеw just gоt a commission on уоur sale? They dіdn’t “ѕеll” уоu thе рrоduсt. They ѕіmрlу connected you with whаt уоu wеrе аlrеаdу lооkіng for. Yоu’vе juѕt participated іn thе customer end оf аffіlіаtе marketing and probably wеrеn’t even аwаrе of іt.
What is Possible with Affiliate Marketing?
I show some examples and success stories on my article, including how profitable can affiliate marketing really be. But I want to focus on one thing first.
It only takes ONE thing to lead to success.
I am sure you have heard all the stories out there, from the startup of eBay from nothing, to someone selling bohemian jewelry on Etsy and making a million dollars. That is the reality, you only have to be great at one little tiny niche to be very successful online.
There is this natural tendency to think that you have to be involved in all sorts of different niches and businesses to be successful. The reality is, the people that try to do that typically fail (although there are some exceptions). Those that have a super focus on being the best within their niche, and by immersing themselves within their niche, are those that create long term and sustainable businesses.
So how do you choose that one thing or even know if your ONE thing is something that can lead to long term success? Well that can be a little more tricky, but it only becomes this way if you over complicate what you are doing or you are trying to come up with the perfect niche.
The “one thing” approach is another one of the biggest contributing factors to success, and it is something that can easily swing the success scale from a lackluster business to a succeeding one.
When approaching your business as the ONE business, your mindset changes, the sense of overwhelm vanishes, and a sense of simplicity comes before you. You are only running ONE website, one business and working with one niche. Things feel much less complicated.
Here are some tips that I recommend you implement to move to ONE thing.
- Move on Quickly if you don’t like your first niche (I did!).
- Choose something that you are capable of holding interest in for years, not weeks.
- Be passionate about helping others and success itself, then you don’t have to be so passionate about your niche.
- Don’t chase something that you think is profitable, everything is. Choose something you will be interested in.
- Get involved in more niche websites ONLY After You Have the formula for success within one.
One of my mentors has written posts on his websites over the years that have lead to years of income, from ONE post. A few hours worth of work, $10,000’s. But the results weren’t immediate, and they certainly didn’t happen until his website had enough authority to gain that sort of traction.
But that is the reality of what can happen as you build out your business.
Let me explain further, one single niche article on an authority niche website you created. This may take 1-2 years to get established, maybe you get on page 1 of search results and can get 1,000-5,000 unique clicks/month so $12,000-$60,000 per year. Well firstly its important to understand, If you were to buy that traffic at low end of 50c/click this may cost a whopping $6,000-$30,000.
So as you build out your website, you are going to do things that take 1-2 hours of your time but get paid the dividends that are far more than 1,000 hours of work in an hourly job. That’s the reality as you establish and start to scale your business.
So when you are established, far more dividends and success than an hourly job could ever pay you.
Get yourself out of the job mentality, it is a trap. If you want $3,000-$5,000 in income in 3 months, this is probably not possible but give yourself a years time frame you can truly establish something at that point. And you’re giving yourself adequate time to create a long term and truly sustainable business. One that you can scale something beyond anything in the offline world and with way less effort.
Do you see the possibilities? I mentioned the value of having mentors…

You have a great post here!
I have been a traditional entrepreneur all my life. Mindset is everything. Henry Ford said it best.
Being an entrepreneur is about finding problems, then finding solutions, sharing those solutions, receiving payments of gratitude (in cash) for sharing the solutions.
We know we won’t be paid on the 15th and 30th of the month. That’s ok…
We don’t want a boss anyway!
Being an online entrepreneur is basically the same, but we can reach more people.
Having a website is for 1 objective only: namely, getting someone’s email address so we can start conversations with them and HELP them.
Your website should be the center of your universe and everything revolves around it.
Every article should have 1 objective; to get the email address!
Social media is really important.
The sole objective of using social media, is to get the prospect off social media and heading towards your website so you can get their email address and start a conversation with them to help them!
If you focus on doing that you won’t go far wrong!
Your post is massive and clearly you are wanting to help people.
Awesome job!
Tim
This is a comprehension information about how to become entreprenuer online. I agree with you that first thing an entrepreneur needs to start flourishing online is to have website, funnel is not the first priority or others but website through which a brand can be established.
To become flourishing in many online business like affiliate marketing involve patient dedication and hard work, also an online entreprenuerer needs some tools to accomplish his mission in online and i confirmed that all these tools available in the waelthy affiliate to flourish in any online business.
At this time i can also recommend funnel where you will build your list and remind you that if you are well established your brand through your website, that will help you get your list increasing day by day. I love to be reading your post because it offer fresh ides.
I love your debate between the child and the adults outlook on failing, at what point do we as people lose sight of the ‘if you fail, try again’ concept. We learn it from a young age and then somewhere along the line we lose it. In my mind if you don’t give up you cannot fail, right?
Also you are very right, why take someones opinion on your dream to work online rather than in the rat race as the ‘best advice’ when it’s not their dream anyway!
Great post!
Thank you Ian, I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to add so much valuable perspectives to my post. I’m glad that it struck a chord with you and we are clearly singing from the same song sheet!
Readers please consider Ian’s comments on employee mindset and transition to an entrepreneurial mindset as his personal testimony. There are tons of value and truth in what he is sharing and it’s all part of what makes the journey worthwhile of how to be an entrepreneur online. This sharing of some of the bumps along the road, the road to success is never a straight path, its the bumps and turns that make it an adventure.
Thanks so much for sharing and wishing you online success!
Hi John – That’s a wonderful article! Success is down to hard work and saying NO to the the status quo! The problem starts with our education system. While education is, indeed a wonderful thing, our system teaches us from children to work hard FOR SOMEONE ELSE! It’s designed to provide worker for the Big companies so those at the top can reap the rewards of your hard work. That’s what my parents told me – but not the last part 🙂 – and that’s what your peers tell you. Any venture you start out on your own often meets with warnings by ‘well meaning’ friends and family who have played it safe themselves. As you say, why on earth would you want to take advice from someone who hasn’t done it!?
You hit all the points. Education also teaches us to fear failure. In another life I do Improve (Improvisation like Whose Line is it Anyway?) which teaches us to embrace failure. We have to unlearn what we’ve been taugh our entire adult lives.
Say No to that idea and work hard for yourself! As you say, get rid of the employee mindset.
I love your formula: EFFORT IN = RESULTS OUT. Here’s a couple of others you may have heard. The harder I work, the luckier I get. And, My overnight success only took five years!
On this last point, I’ve seen several people chug along for a year or so and then see their online business suddenly take off. The growth is exponential. You need to build up a good head of steam to get going then it’s easier to keep up the momentum.
I apologise for going on at length but your post resonated with me as I have received much negative ‘advice’ from friends and family and when I espouse the benefits of working online to friends, I get the same reaction. It’s a shame but it’s their loss. Still, I guess it’s not for everyone.
Mindset, training and hard work – that’s all you need! 🙂
Thanks, John. Let’s hope it resonates with lots of readers 🙂 Ian
Thanks Dianne, thanks for your comments and I’m glad my article resonated with you. The difference in thinking of child versus adult when its comes to failure? I believe its largely due to the school system and society which teaches that F for fail is bad. Great perspective “if you don’t give up you cannot fail” I agree! and so would Thomas Edison “I haven’t failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”.
I covered more in another post on the mindset of an entrepreneur, shifting from an employee mindset and great resources to gain the entrepreneurial mindset.
I’m so glad these online entrepreneur ideas and mindset resonates with you and I wish you success online!
Thank you so much Adebayo, I appreciate your positive comments and perspectives.
Yes I mentioned the “shiny objects” of funnel building “push button” systems as I see them advertised all the time. The promoters seem to be appealing to their readers desire for quick success, but this cutting corners approach is often very expensive and the promoters make the money.

Thankfully i found the Wealthy Affiliate training and mentoring platform early on (and by total accident) in my entrepreneurial online career and I’ve been able to avoid some of the pitfalls other more experienced people have made through trial and error and learn from the experts.
Thanks again!
Thanks Tim, I really appreciate your comments and sharing so many valuable perspectives.
I’m glad the post struck many chords with you and we are clearly singing from the same song sheet!. Henry Ford saw Failures as Opportunities and as you’ve said: Being an entrepreneur is about finding problems, then finding solutions, sharing those solutions, receiving payments of gratitude (in cash) for sharing the solutions.
Readers there’s some great tips here on the value and purpose of your website and content. Thanks again!
You couldn’t have said it any better, I love the part where you spoke about Michael Jordan and used him as an example. A thriving online business can only be developed if the right amount of dedication and determination is applied. For a moment in my career, I thought my first website was going to be a total failure as I didn’t see any results, but I am very happy I didn’t give up because after two years ,I’m earning more than a full time income with just that website alone, not to talk about the ones I have on the side.
I wish everyone luck and good fortunes in their further endeavours in Affiliate marketing.
PS : It has been a blast reading the Amazing article … Thank you !
Hey John,
Thank for this incredible article on how to be and Entrepreneur in 2019! You talked about some great points on changing the mindset from the 9 to 5 mentality to an open business mindset. I really like the comment about the child not giving up and the adult being quick to doubt themselves and give up. I’ve been there myself. I think the older we get, the more we don’t want to waste our time.
I like that you described being an entrepreneur as hard work and it’s not just going to be easy working from your laptop on the beach. Many other platforms will try to paint this picture to get people to sign up. Tony Robbins gives great motivational advice as well. He tells his followers to emulate someone who is successful. Don’t copy their content exactly, but the process that they use to become successful. If you can do that, then you can achieve the same success.
I think you also have a great point when it comes to failure teaching us the best lessons. I have a health and fitness website that I’m debating whether to give up on or not. I feel that I’ve lost some passion for it and stopped writing articles on it for a long while. I’m learning about other ways to create passive income, so I’ve kind of neglected this one. I’m also working on a new one that should be more aligned with the affiliate marketing promotions that I’m trying to push.
I appreciate your insights and expertise on this subject. We all definitely need a mentor from time to time to keep us on track. An entire community of mentors makes a huge difference. Thank you for the inspiration!
Great article! Affiliate marketing can be a great way to make money in my opinion, I am with Wealthy Affiliate right now myself.

Hey Daniel, I really appreciate your comments and glad my article really resonates with you.
Even more, than you for sharing your journey of how to be an entrepreneur online. You have faced a few bumps along the road to success. In terms of your health and fitness niche, changing niche is OK! As I highlighted in the article:
Here are some tips that I recommend you implement to move to ONE thing (to really focus on).
Move on Quickly if you don’t like your first niche (I did!).Choose something that you are capable of holding interest in for years, not weeks.Be passionate about helping others and success itself, then you don’t have to be so passionate about your niche.Don’t chase something that you think is profitable, everything is. Choose something you will be interested in.Get involved in more niche websites ONLY After You Have the formula for success within one.
Good luck in your new niche, and I appreciate your kind words and sharing your journey Daniel. I wish you all the success online.
