Welcome to Susanne Jorgensen's Blog

You want to learn how to make money online but where and how on earth do you start? The world of making money online can be both exciting and also overwhelming.

I’ve just done a quick google search on the keywords “making money online” and “how to make money online.”  The results were 172,000,00 and 180,000,000 entries respectively.  You can only imagine how long that would take you to get through!  Even if you just went through the first 20 entries you’d have to spend a lot of time reading the blogs to find out whether the writer was credible – and how would you know that, when you are just starting out on the journey yourself?

That’s the reason I’ll be writing these blogs.  As I mentioned in my previous blog – I’ve been on the internet journey for about 1 ½ or 2 years now,  so I know a hell of a lot more than those of you who are just starting out. I’m also, however, not so far down the journey that I can’t remember all the mistakes I made, all the moments of frustration I felt and all the times I thought I’d give up.  People who have been making money online for years, get so good at it, that like anyone who has been working at something for a long time, they assume you know what you actually don’t know.  Let me give you an example:

I remember taking an intensive three day internet marketing course which cost me a lot of money.  I’ve  invested   in self and professional development courses for years, but never paid the amount of money I did for this one!  Anyway, the course was super –for someone with a bit of background and prior experienace – but not for the complete newbie.  Even when I followed the instructions in the manual I just couldn’t get things to work like they were supposed to. 

In desperation I turned to my good friend Matt Garrett  to take me through the process step by step.  We spent a whole bloody weekend going through the instruction manual.  What I discovered was that for each one step we were instructed to do,  there were a few steps in between that weren’t written down, but which a complete newbie would not have know how to do.  So Matt and I went through the manual step by step and each time I moaned, “but how do you do that?” Matt would patiently write down each and every excruciating tiny step. Bless him!  He’s one of the good guys by the way in the internet marketing world.

By sharing with you my experiences – both my ups and downs, what has and hasn’t worked and what I’m still learning on the journey, I want to help you achieve YOUR Dream!

Can Anyone Make Money Online?

“What The Mind Can Conceive It Can Achieve”

Dale Carnegie (Think And Grow Rich)

It’s easy to believe that those people who are making a good living from their online businesses possess some special inherent quality or they are just ‘one of the lucky ones’.

It’s easy to think of reasons you can’t make your dream of making money online come true.  Maybe you find yourself saying:

• “I don’t have a technical bone in my body.” 
• “I’m not good with computers – they positively freak me out.”
• “I just don’t have time to learn something new”
• “I don’t have loads of money to invest in a new business”
• “My family and friends will think you’ve lost the plot for sure!”
• “I’m not sure I can really do it – how can I succeed when others haven’t?”
• “I’m not an “expert” in anything – whose going to listen to me?”
• “The internet is oversaturated market anyway.”
• “Those who make millions were in the right place at the right time in the early days of the internet boom – it’s too late for me now.”

“Whether You Think You Can or Can’t, You’re Probably Right”

Henry Ford

What is the voice of doubt whispering in your ear about why you can’t succeed in making your dream of an online business come true?

As well as being an internet junkie, I’m a psychologist, coach, (and soon to be published author – you can follow my updates on twitter: TheSinglesGym) and I certainly know the importance of the mindset.

My current mentor Alex Jeffreys is to me a perfect example of why the reasons we give, for  saying we can’t do what we want to do, are really just excuses. 

I met Alex a couple of years ago early when I was invited to my first internet marketing weekend course – that’s when I learned how these guys can party all weekend – I was absolutely shattered when I got home!

Anyway, there was this really hyper guy, who was nervous as hell, as he was about to give his first ever public talk about his journey of making money online. I was touched by his story and needless to say, we hit it off that weekend as I loved his craziness, humour and his energy (it’s Alex and I in the two middle photos you see on the blog). 

So back then when I met Alex he was still in the early days of his success and was just starting to make money online. Yet this year he made half a million pounds online and is set to make one million pounds over the next year.  He tells his coaching students this to show that making money online isn’t just a dream- it’s a very real possibility.

But what you probably don’t know about Alex is that he doesn’t have a university degree, he hasn’t had a “professional” career, he was labelled disruptive in school  (a bit of ADHD Alex??? *LOL*) and he’s dyslexic – yet he is very successfully making money online.

This story is for real (unfortunately there are lots of stories out there that aren’t real). I mean I met Alex ‘then’ and I see Alex ‘now’.  Extraordinary! And that’s why I’ve chosen to be coached by him.

So, your very first step to successfully making money online is to address your doubts.  If you don’t – you will sabotage all your efforts.

Quick Coaching Workout:

• List your doubts/obstacles as they arise
• Ask yourself these questions:
  • What resources do I have to overcome these doubts/obstacles?
  • What resources do I need to overcome these doubts/obstacles?
  • What is the next step?
  • When will I do it?
  • Write down your answers to the questions
  • Each time a new doubt comes up go through this process

 Next time we’ll think about what your vision for making money online is as you start taking your first steps to making your dream come true.

Until then, be happy!
