Thousands of Internet marketer wannabes have decided to become the next batch of Internet Millionaires.

They have read that about 600 million people have access to the Internet - and yet it is still in its infancy. Every month millions of newcomers and thousands of businesses are reported to be setting up online.

With the expanding audience in the form of Internet users, we now have a fantastic opportunity to be successful in online business.

Residual Incomes are made available to people from all walks of life. You can now make money online with simple and proven formula used by many to earn multiple streams of residual income. However it takes a lot of hard work and some financial investment. The following is a short list of 8 things you should be aware of:

1. MAKE A CHOICE OF WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SELL

1.1 Products

When you sell a product you can either carry out the whole operation of manufacturing or creating the products, handling orders, stocking and inventory management, shipping the goods, and processing the payments OR you could simply join some affiliate programs and market for companies that will handle all the administration for you. Your job is therefore merely to get the orders to the companies and receive commission as a result of your effort. The question we should ask ourselves is "What products should we sell?" We should all know that the item that has been recognized as the number one business product of the future is "information". Examples of highly successful information products are the 'how-to' and "self-improvement" e-books which tell the readers how to solve certain problems. If you are knowledgeable about a particular subject you could consider writing and developing your own products and delivering it via the many channels opened to you such as websites, newsletters, ezines and emails.

1.2. Services

One advantage of selling a service is that you can often generate a 'residual' income. It is possible to have a monthly passive income as long as the existing customers continue to use your service. But we should ask again "What types of service are suitable for online selling?" As the Internet boom continues the most obvious possibility is any service which could help companies in using the Internet in their business. An excellent example is a web hosting service whereby the host will provide the space to put up websites of others with the necessary tools to manage it while providing technical advice and service to their clients.

2. PREPARE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

Don't start until you have made a plan that includes what the markets are, what products and services you're selling to these markets, how to acquire these products (and services), how you will market and sell them and how to get the money to pay for all these things. Like any other forms of work, you must have a plan for your Internet business. Set an achievable short term, medium term and long term objectives, prepare a budget and stick to them as far as possible. Carry out periodical checking to determine any deviations from the plan and take the necessary remedial actions.
