Achieving the Millionaires Lifestyle Online

We have all encountered those days of waking up not wanting to go to work…The rush to get ready for work, then traffic chaos or trying to catch a train to get there, only to spend the day with a bunch of ‘team mates’ that you don’t really enjoy and a boss that stresses you out and doesn’t appreciate your hard work which is only really making him wealthy.

Then you go home, fighting the traffic chaos once again, have a few hours of personal time with your family, and then hit the pillow in preparation to do it all again.

I even know people that choose to live in a suburb they don’t really like just because they can be closer to their job. Isn’t that just totally nuts!!!??

Now, I don’t know about you, but to me this doesn’t sound like a ‘MIllionaires Lifestyle‘.

See, a Millionaires Lifestyle is not about BEING a millionaire, it’s about having the lifestyle…the freedom to do what you want, when you want, and still pay all your bills and have plenty of cash left over to enjoy life.

It’s very easily achievable, yet so many people choose the option I mentioned above instead.

After doing the daily 1.5 hour drive battling traffic to drive to the city every day, on top of working a 10 hour day for someone else, I decided to choose to have the what I consider the ‘millionaires lifestyle’.
I work from my home office in a nice residential island community, drive a nice european car, go for a swim in my pool during ‘work hours’, and go for a stroll along the waterfront or beach during the day. I can even wear boardshorts rather than a suit to work! But best of all, I am my own boss, I set my own financial income, and I love my ‘job’.

I don’t really call it a job, because it is more like a hobby I get rewarded financially to do.

After being on the ‘dark side’ in an office job for two long I decided it was time to choose the ‘Millionaires Lifestyle‘ option.

How is the Millionaires Lifestyle achievable?
We have all heard the stories that the internet can make some serious money, but yet many people don’t understand the internet’s full potential to harness the financial rewards. Online business can be extremely rewarding if done properly. You can achieve the Millionaires Lifestyle if you really want to, and by only spending a few hours or so each day. How does a 14 hour working week sound?!
This is achievable through online affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is the process of selling another persons products through your own webpage or blog and you make a commission on each sale. The commissions usually range from around 5% to a whopping 85% depending on what you are selling and the affiliate program you belong to. Setting up an affiliate plan actually costs nothing!
Your only real costs are your annual hosting and domain name, which is around $104 per year for both hosting and domain if you sign up with Webcrowd – www.Webcrowd.com.au.

Once you have your hosting you can either set up a webpage or a blog and with a little know-how on affiliate marketing you have created an online business. The beauty of an online business is your online ‘store’ is open 24 hours a day with worldwide exposure, which equals a lot of potential visitors, and more importantly , a lot of sales…most likely more than you could ever achieve in a normal business.

There are four basic rules to achieving the Millionaires Lifestyle:

1. You must have the right attitude
If you are planning on doing it just for the money, forget it! While the money is the target goal, internet marketing can be dull if you do not enjoy marketing, and unless your heart is in it you will tire quickly of it before it really blossoms for you.

2. Set an achievable goal, both financially and for the lifestyle you want.
Before starting your online venture jot down on a piece of paper why you are doing it, and the outcome you want from it.
The reasons to start it are easy..you may be sick of your job, want more income, want to work less, have more time with the kids, etc. But also plan the bigger picture…set the financial goal you want, and make it realistic. If you want to earn $100,000 a year than you need to make $277.72 per day, which is very achievable online. If you want to make 5 times that, it is also very achievable. Once you build the first system you simple duplicate it 5 times! Obviously more than a couple of hours a day is required though. You set a limit that suits your lifestyle plan.

3. You need to plan your marketing approach
Where most new online marketers go wrong is they have the ‘build it and they will come’ mentality. This is not the case.
If you really want to achieve success, like any online business, you need to market your business. Free online marketing tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Blogspot blogs, plus email marketing are a great way to attract new visitors and grow your database. Also it is recommended spending a little money on Google Adwords to get started. A $5 a day campaign is usually enough to generate a good response, and as your business grows spend a little more each day. The profits could surprise you!

4. You need to be patient and persistent!
Going back to Rule 1, you need to enjoy what you are doing as starting up can take a little while to really see initial results. Online Marketing is like fishing..you have to tempt them with the right bait and unless you keep throwing that line back out there and prepare to wait, you want get the fish. Patience brings home the big catch.

So if you are stuck in a job you don’t like, or would rather be by your swimming pool right now rather than stuck in the office ‘fish tank’, have a think about the ‘Millionaires Lifestyle’ you are missing out on.
