I know I'm showing my age here, but I remember the "Life. Be in it™" health campaigns that were popular in Australia during the late 1970s, when I was in primary school.
For those who missed it, they featured a lazy cartoon character, "Norm", who was encouraged to get off the couch and get active. (If you're really nostalgic about it, you can visit the Web site at www.lifebeinit.org).

I'm not talking about your physical health - I'm talking about your financial health.
I continue to be dismayed by the number of people who set out - with totally unrealistic expectations - to make a mountain of money using only the Internet. Yes, it is possible, but only a few get it right. For the others ... well, the lucky ones fail fast, without investing too much time, money, energy and focus.
--- Here's the point ... ---
Get active! It's nice to get to the stage where you have a passive stream of income from complete strangers who find you on the Net, visit your Web site, love your products, and eagerly throw money into your bank account. But to get to that point, you first have to prove yourself with active income.
In other words, get off your seat, get out into the real world, and sell something! Figure that out first, and then apply those same techniques to the on-line world.

The people who do succeed at Internet marketing start with a market-first approach. Those who fail start with a product-first (or service-first) approach.
So be careful if you're an expert! If you're a speaker, trainer, consultant, coach or author, you might have a tendency to go for the product-first approach - and that could cost you dearly.
I've written an e-book, "Web Sites That Work", especially for you if you're planning the transition to on-line income. I'd like you to have a complimentary copy.

Hope you get value from it! Remember, it doesn't cost a cent, and could save you heaps!
