This post is going to help you understand how to become an online entrepreneur and where you can actually start right away, and what it will take from you to achieve success with an online business.
There is a market for everything, so no matter your interest you can make a full-time living (and a lot more) online in whatever area you decide to jump into. You can think of it like this, Imagine that you have a shop selling (for example) mobile phones in the world most crowded street (wherever that is).
How many people do you think would visit your store daily? hundreds of people? Thousands?
Whatever number the record of a traditional store on a street has in visitors in 1 day I can promise you that that number is NOTHING compared to the number an “online store” have in 1 day.
Why?
Simply because the online store´s street is the whole world, while the traditional store is limited to the street it stands on.
First of all, why do you want to start an online business?
Why do you want to start your online entrepreneur journey?
- Is it because you have a burning desire to change the world in some way?
- Is it to escape the rat race and having the freedom to work wherever (and whenever) you want?
- To help as many people as possible in any area?
- Is it for the money, if so, what is your goal? $100 per day? $1,000 per day? $10,000 per day? The sky is the limit with an online business.
All of the reasons above are great and also very common reasons why people start their online entrepreneur careers online.
Are you ready for the sacrifice?
Having financial freedom and a business that earns you passive income is great and also a very attainable thing. However, it won´t happen overnight and it won´t happen by itself.
You are going to have to make this happen, and you need to be prepared to put in both the time and effort to make it happen, especially in the beginning.
Most people (me included) started out while they had a 9-5, and then when they get home, they work on their online business for 1 or a couple of hours after their regular job, no matter how tired they are after work…
So if you are one of those who get home after your job and thinks your day is “over” and just goes straight to the tv or Netflix and candy crush your day away… then you will never change your situation…
You might have to sacrifice your dance with the f##ing stars evenings in front of the TV…
Do you have the right mindset?
You also got to be prepared for obstacles and failures at first… Or at least that there will be learning involved and that you got to have PATIENCE and trust in the process. It will take time, but it can also go (relatively) fast. Potentially, you could have a full-time income online in around 6 months if you stay consistent during this period.
Personally, it took me 4,5 months before I made any money at all online, and on the seventh month, I made my first $2,000+ month. Not long after that (when I realized it would only grow) I quit my 9-5 for good.
So, what I mean is, you are going to need a “refuse to give up mindset” as it will be nasty voices in your head telling you to “quit” and “it´s not worth it, give up” and such things… I knew I had but I had decided and promised myself that I would make it happen, and I wasn´t going to stop even if I had to try until I died.
So, if you got this attitude and mindset I am absolutely sure that nothing will stop you, if you don´t have it, then that is ok too, as you can actually change yourself to get such a mindset… If you want.
Ok, so now you know what it takes, what are you waiting for?
The trick is to start!
You can plan, and you can talk, and you can want. However, NOTHING will happen unless you start!
There are many places where you can learn this stuff but I would recommend that you be careful here as there are more scams out there than legit alternatives. Also, you might find a course or education that is very good but charging you way more than what you could get from another source, that is just as good (if not better).
Just like with any new skill you want to learn I would suggest that you get started getting your foundation down first, and there is no other place I would recommend for doing that than the place I actually started out on myself, it has allowed me to have paydays like this (recent) one below for example:
Pretty cool to make more money in 1 day than most of the earth´s population make in 1 month, right?
Well, that is the power of online entrepreneurship.
As I said above, I would recommend that you start out at the same place I started (and still are a member of) as it is first of all, absolutely $0 FREE to get started, and more importantly, it shows you step-by-step the foundation of an online business and how you can become an entrepreneur online in whatever area (or niche) that you are interested in.

I really want to appreciate you for taking out time to write this article about how to become an online entrepreneur. Well, I think it is really necessary to sacrifice your time for what you want. And also know how to manage your time. I am really desperate on becoming an affiliate marketer. And seriously been on wealthy affiliate platform, takes my time from doing other things, I find it difficult to now to go for some of my regular exercises, because these days, I am always on line. That’s the sacrifice
Good day John,
I think your have shared a great amount of information for anyone remotely interested in making $$ online. The fact that you don’t sugar coat the process in the very beginning is HUGE. It”s great that you next start to drill down as to what’s involved to get to passive income. I have tried 2 different times to make $$ online, and was discouraged both times. I tried WA for the 2nd time, and all of a sudden it made sense to me. I wouldn’t change a thing for now!
Great job!
Hi, your post is very encouraging and informative, being an online entrepreneur is quite not that easy but it pays, it involves lots of sacrifices, your time etc. The deal is just give it a try and see the outcome. I strongly agree with this post, it’s really encouraging. It’s all about mindset and patience
Exactly!
Hi, I wanna agree with one of the things you wrote in your article which is taken action and not procastinating about the time to start. Just thinking about that business or drawing out some form of plans won’t do, we all need to take that bold step to start something. For me personally, I started my online business few months back and I have no regrets since I started.
Way to go my man!
Becoming an online entrepreneur is no joke. One might think it is, because it can be done from home and you don’t have a boss over you to drive you out of your comfort zone. But, I’ve learned from experience that it’s hard work, hard back breaking work!
Because it comes with a ton of perks, I don’t mind the work.
I did find the short article very helpful. it’s a healthy reminder.
Awesome!
Thanks for writing this article on how to become a full time online entrepreneur. You really did well by posting this article. I find each and every part of the article educative and informative. Am so grateful you share your experience,i see it as a motivation to do more as a newbie in affiliate marketing business. Recently I join wealthy affiliate and I wish to do great in affiliate marketing with all the lessons and training tools available for me to learn from.
Oh my gosh! Your energy is incredible, and you are so right! I have been saying to myself and a girlfriend in the past few weeks that I need to start spending my time getting away from Netflix and all of the mind numbing subconscious programming that happens when you watch the TV. Thank you so much for such an inspirational post that makes me feel like I can also become a successful online entrepreneur!
Lol! Thank you Josie!
You can!
/Stay consistent
You laid out a clear path to becoming an online entrepreneur, and I totally agree with you that the trick is to get started. So many people I talk to do nothing but talk and dream as they make their way through the drudgery of their 9-5 job. I have even laid out a course about this very subject!
It is important to have a plan and the right mindset as you mention, and I even agree on learning from a platform that is going to show you a proven method that has worked for thousands of other like-minded people. and I believe we are talking about the same platform – Wealthy Affiliate.
Since joining that platform almost 4 years ago (I am also still a member) I have progressed so far with my online business, and it would not have been possible without the guidance I found there. There certainly is a growing potential for online business, it is not and likely never will be a saturated market.
This was a very positive post and contained a ton of good advice for the readers. I do hope that many take you up on your advice, as they will not be disappointed. Being self-employed and in charge of your destiny is a heady feeling, and if they take action and get started, they can be right there with the rest of us.
