How to make money online? — The most important rules of success
How to make money online? In this article, I will show you the most basic principles which will help you succeed in earning online. Those rules apply to virtually any type of business and to any of your goals and tasks in your life.
At the beginning of my journey in making money online, I was very fascinated with Amazon. When I was looking for information on making money online, I learned that Amazon is the largest online store in the world and has access to a huge number of potential customers and that you can release your book there. I was then sure that it was a business for me.
I decided to release my book. The decision was made. As a waiter in a Cracow-based restaurant, the decision-making process didn’t take me long and I decided to release my first product on a topic I knew and liked. I titled my book “Krakow Party Guide” and it was a guide for party lovers and tourist for my city. The idea seemed brilliant because it was unique on Amazon and the entire market.
Making money online and creating electronic products
In two weeks, I wrote a book. Then it was turn for the English translation, ordering a cover on Fiverr, text formatting and promotion. I spent a good few thousand PLN on the book (the main cost was the English translation). Unfortunately, the book proved to be a complete financial failure, and sold poorly. The return on sales did not even cover part of the costs incurred, and it was certainly not a great business success.
However, I did not give up and I was still wondering how to make money online. This time, armed with paid knowledge from online courses and the knowledge of those who already got it over, I decided to proceed. I have learned the principles I should follow in the process of publishing my book on Amazon. One of the basic principles was to research the market, that is, to publish products with a demand, not those that seem interesting for us.
How to make money online? Amazon and Amazon once again
I decided to release two more books at the same time and after a thorough market study and having acquired the necessary knowledge, I decided once again to act. The first of the two books once again proved to be a failure and again sold in a very small quantity. However, the second book allowed me to completely forget about the previous defeats. Immediately after the premiere, my book Make Him Scream was sold very regularly.
I was very happy when looking at the sales results, especially because I was on a sunny holiday in Barcelona at that time. There is nothing more enjoyable than lying on the beach with your girlfriend and watching the sales results of your own book. My book was a sexual guide for women, and this niche proved to be very successful. But the best was still to come. Some time later, my product became a best-seller on Amazon in one of its categories, which resulted in even more sales and my great pride, because seeing the word “best-seller” next to my product made me smile very broadly. Over the years, I’ve even created an online course Release a Best-Seller, which shows exactly how should you release books and how my book was awarded the title of the best-seller on Amazon.
In this example, I would like to tell you how to make money online and to outline the key principles of the success in online business.
Principles of success
Systematic work and not giving up — this is probably the most important element of success in every aspect of business and life in general. The most efficient online profit-making is ensured by systematic work in one area (e.g. Amazon). You have to try and try and try, until you succeed. If only you believe in what you do, you will be able to do it. Remember: to achieve your goals, you need long work, and people looking at it from aside will still think you’re just lucky. I am the best example, because the best-selling book was only the beginning and the starting point. After that, it was only better and thanks to systematic work, I learned how to earn money online and I created a solid business on Amazon and also my blog over time.
Long-term thinking — another principle that results somehow from the first one. You have to believe in what you do and focus on the process. You won’t get a lot of money within a month, you won’t lose 10 pounds in a week, etc. The bigger and better effect you want to see, the more time you need to spend on it. You can only achieve the results by thinking long-term and working regularly every day. You don’t have to make a breakthrough today or tomorrow — take one small step every day and do it every day for the next year, and you can be sure you’ll go far. Then, others will look at you and think how you were able to do it?
Knowledge — you still need to add knowledge to the previous rules. In my example, you can see how expensive it was to release my first book. It makes no sense to learn on your own mistakes — it costs too much time and money. It is easier to pay a fraction of the price for this knowledge and avoid unnecessary stress.

00:00:01,350 –> 00:00:05,230
What is the key to success
on the Internet, in online business?
2
00:00:05,250 –> 00:00:09,998
Maybe everyone is wondering
if it’s some amazing knowledge
3
00:00:10,133 –> 00:00:16,507
or you must have a lot of money
to make a lot of money on the Internet
4
00:00:16,911 –> 00:00:18,968
to be successful on the Internet.
5
00:00:19,002 –> 00:00:22,644
I’n sure this is true
not only for online business,
6
00:00:22,712 –> 00:00:27,010
but of any kind of business.
7
00:00:27,370 –> 00:00:32,090
What it takes to succeed on the Internet.
8
00:00:32,260 –> 00:00:34,110
For example on Amazon.
9
00:00:34,650 –> 00:00:42,405
As I was starting my adventure with Amazon,
I published my first book,
10
00:00:42,473 –> 00:00:45,510
which was my own book.
11
00:00:45,530 –> 00:00:47,970
It was titled Kraków Party Guide.
12
00:00:48,071 –> 00:00:50,903
I’m from Krakow as you may know or not.
13
00:00:51,005 –> 00:00:53,150
I used to work in the food industry.
14
00:00:53,160 –> 00:00:58,020
I was a frequent party-goer back then,
and I know Krakow well.
15
00:00:58,020 –> 00:01:00,780
I was fascinated by Amazon.
16
00:01:00,780 –> 00:01:05,944
I heard about Amazon in a course,
without any specific information,
17
00:01:05,944 –> 00:01:11,103
but I heard Amazon is huge,
it offers amazing opportunities to sell worldwide.
18
00:01:11,170 –> 00:01:12,740
I became fascinated.
19
00:01:12,740 –> 00:01:14,678
Amazon was what I wanted to do.
20
00:01:14,779 –> 00:01:16,735
I needed to publish my book.
21
00:01:16,802 –> 00:01:18,994
What kind of book should I publish?
22
00:01:19,061 –> 00:01:20,750
Maybe, a book about Krakow.
23
00:01:20,760 –> 00:01:21,962
I lived in Krakow.
24
00:01:22,063 –> 00:01:23,243
A great idea.
25
00:01:23,277 –> 00:01:24,963
I knew it.
I will write it.
26
00:01:24,997 –> 00:01:26,008
I wrote a book.
27
00:01:26,076 –> 00:01:30,240
It took me maybe two weeks,
because it was some 50 pages.
28
00:01:30,240 –> 00:01:32,786
Enough. No need to publish
more on Amazon.
29
00:01:33,090 –> 00:01:38,460
I translated this book, ordered a cover
and I published it.
30
00:01:38,460 –> 00:01:40,441
In the meantime, I promoted it.
31
00:01:40,509 –> 00:01:42,330
It needed some promotion.
32
00:01:42,431 –> 00:01:44,240
It cost several thousand PLN.
33
00:01:44,250 –> 00:01:47,010
The book was published on Amazon.
34
00:01:47,010 –> 00:01:50,760
It was a flop. The sale was very low.
35
00:01:50,760 –> 00:01:56,230
Some 20-30 copies
were sold during 1 year.
36
00:01:56,400 –> 00:01:59,100
From each
I had maybe a few dollars.
37
00:01:59,100 –> 00:02:01,810
So, the success was not very big.
38
00:02:01,830 –> 00:02:04,080
An ultimate financial flop.
39
00:02:04,080 –> 00:02:05,940
I was very disappointed.
40
00:02:09,577 –> 00:02:12,478
What is the key to success
on the Internet?
41
00:02:12,579 –> 00:02:14,000
I didn’t give up.
42
00:02:14,010 –> 00:02:17,520
I decided to keep publishing
and invested in knowledge.
43
00:02:17,520 –> 00:02:27,170
I invested in courses that costed several
hundred dollars and I gained knowledge.
44
00:02:27,180 –> 00:02:36,016
I gained knowledge that guided me step by step
on how to publish, how to do it well.
45
00:02:36,083 –> 00:02:47,717
With this knowledge, before the publication
of the next book, I began to learn many new things.
46
00:02:47,818 –> 00:02:54,570
First of all, not to publish books about
what I like, but about what sells.
47
00:02:54,570 –> 00:02:57,429
But that is perhaps
a topic for another video.
48
00:02:57,564 –> 00:02:59,360
What is the key to success?
49
00:02:59,370 –> 00:03:06,610
First of all, it is knowledge and
keeping up, that is, doing something,
50
00:03:06,610 –> 00:03:11,260
learning from those who are better than
you and not giving up.
51
00:03:11,280 –> 00:03:14,695
And this is probably
the main key in this video.
52
00:03:14,763 –> 00:03:18,236
My first book didn’t
work out for me at all.
53
00:03:18,337 –> 00:03:20,698
So I decided to publish more books.
54
00:03:20,698 –> 00:03:22,654
Two at a time.
55
00:03:22,654 –> 00:03:26,296
And, by that time I had already
learned the inside know-how.
56
00:03:26,363 –> 00:03:30,210
I researched the market
and published two more books.
57
00:03:30,210 –> 00:03:32,880
The second book turned out to be a flop.
58
00:03:32,880 –> 00:03:36,890
It was an even bigger
flop than my first book.
59
00:03:37,120 –> 00:03:38,908
It didn’t sell at all almost.
60
00:03:39,751 –> 00:03:43,595
I created it a little bit
on the basis of what I like.
61
00:03:43,764 –> 00:03:44,843
It doesn’t matter.
62
00:03:44,910 –> 00:03:49,080
The third book, I thought it out well.
63
00:03:49,080 –> 00:03:50,508
I researched the market.
64
00:03:50,576 –> 00:03:53,712
I don’t hide the fact it wasn’t
an exceptional book,
65
00:03:53,779 –> 00:03:56,580
but it was based
on good market research.
66
00:03:56,580 –> 00:04:01,771
I didn’t give up and I published the third
book, which was a bestseller on Amazon.
67
00:04:02,682 –> 00:04:03,997
I couldn’t believe it.
68
00:04:03,997 –> 00:04:07,504
I published this book in 2016,
I guess.
69
00:04:07,605 –> 00:04:11,180
Yes, in 2016. Right before
I left for my vacation.
70
00:04:11,247 –> 00:04:18,734
I was in a hurry to get it done before
going to Barcelona with my girlfriend.
71
00:04:18,801 –> 00:04:22,380
I published this book.
I did everything I needed to do.
72
00:04:22,409 –> 00:04:24,703
In Barcelona
I notices great sales.
73
00:04:24,770 –> 00:04:29,154
I was lying on the beach
and watched the sales level.
74
00:04:29,525 –> 00:04:38,832
When I came back, the book became
a bestseller on Amazon in one category.
75
00:04:38,866 –> 00:04:40,940
I really couldn’t believe it.
76
00:04:41,010 –> 00:04:42,510
A simple book.
77
00:04:42,510 –> 00:04:47,195
A book 30 pages long.
78
00:04:47,229 –> 00:04:49,286
Well, the topic is not relevant.
79
00:04:49,354 –> 00:04:54,810
I will tell it perhaps in my course,
which you can find in the link below.
80
00:04:54,810 –> 00:04:59,370
I describe there the best methods to make
money on the Internet.
81
00:04:59,370 –> 00:05:01,610
Also there is a lot about books.
82
00:05:03,820 –> 00:05:05,506
This book was a bestseller.
83
00:05:05,574 –> 00:05:11,644
And I couldn’t believe it, because it was also
such a ridiculous category, never mind.
84
00:05:11,711 –> 00:05:17,781
And really, when I saw a bestseller label
in the world’s largest online store
85
00:05:17,849 –> 00:05:23,514
on my book that I didn’t write myself,
that someone wrote for me,
86
00:05:23,582 –> 00:05:26,820
it was an amazing feeling.
87
00:05:26,820 –> 00:05:29,580
It’s been a while since then.
88
00:05:29,580 –> 00:05:32,215
This book still sells and is out there.
89
00:05:32,282 –> 00:05:34,912
I will show it to you someday.
90
00:05:34,980 –> 00:05:36,767
Or take a look at the course.
91
00:05:38,217 –> 00:05:42,601
For me it was
a proof that it can be done.
92
00:05:42,668 –> 00:05:47,580
It’s not like the first time you do something,
it works out for you.
93
00:05:48,150 –> 00:05:50,750
Let’s say you are a child.
94
00:05:50,760 –> 00:05:53,594
At the beginning you have to
learn how to walk.
95
00:05:53,729 –> 00:05:56,629
You learn everything
and the beginnings suck.
96
00:05:56,731 –> 00:05:57,720
You just suck.
97
00:05:57,720 –> 00:06:00,270
We must admit our first times suck.
98
00:06:01,789 –> 00:06:04,453
Every first time is the worst,
as they say.
99
00:06:04,554 –> 00:06:09,210
I remember that it just
gave me a lot to think about.
100
00:06:09,210 –> 00:06:13,230
And remember nothing will
work out for you at first.
101
00:06:13,230 –> 00:06:16,458
It is difficult to publish
products on the Internet
102
00:06:16,492 –> 00:06:22,292
or creating whatever you create,
in all industries in all life areas.
103
00:06:22,596 –> 00:06:24,990
The key to success
is to be systematic,
104
00:06:25,057 –> 00:06:27,216
to keep up
and to think long-term.
105
00:06:27,283 –> 00:06:31,667
If you create an Internet business
turn to your knowledge, education,
106
00:06:31,667 –> 00:06:34,230
and learn from
whoever is better than you.
107
00:06:34,297 –> 00:06:38,479
Make a hell of a lot of mistakes,
otherwise you won’t learn any lesson.
108
00:06:38,512 –> 00:06:42,795
But there are mistakes you can avoid,
as they can be very costly.
109
00:06:42,829 –> 00:06:47,719
If you have someone to help you,
they will tell you, even from videos like this,
110
00:06:48,210 –> 00:06:49,708
what should be avoided.
111
00:06:50,855 –> 00:06:55,104
There are mistakes you will make,
you must make.
112
00:06:55,171 –> 00:06:58,105
Many things will
turn out to be failures.
113
00:06:58,173 –> 00:07:01,646
You can avoid certain mistakes
to save a lot of money.
114
00:07:01,713 –> 00:07:06,435
For example, if I knew how to
do research before publishing my first book,
115
00:07:06,502 –> 00:07:11,156
I would not have published it,
because by researching the market,
116
00:07:11,223 –> 00:07:17,934
I would have known that there was
no demand for a book about Kraków on Amazon.
117
00:07:18,069 –> 00:07:23,000
Now, I know that when creating books
for Amazon, we’re targeting the U.S. market,
118
00:07:23,000 –> 00:07:27,300
and that we must select
our primary audience.
119
00:07:27,300 –> 00:07:31,050
At this point such a book makes no sense.
120
00:07:31,050 –> 00:07:32,299
Unless it’s for fun.
121
00:07:32,333 –> 00:07:33,817
But that’s not the point.
122
00:07:33,884 –> 00:07:36,616
You can publish
for fun and still earn.
123
00:07:36,683 –> 00:07:40,740
Therefore, leverage someone else’s
knowledge and think long-term.
124
00:07:40,740 –> 00:07:44,600
Don’t be afraid of failure, because
failures will happen.
125
00:07:44,600 –> 00:07:46,490
Just make sure to limit them.
126
00:07:46,500 –> 00:07:49,110
And try endlessly.
127
00:07:49,110 –> 00:07:55,680
Do not give up, then you will succeed in
business on the Internet.
128
00:07:55,680 –> 00:08:01,570
If you want to do it faster,

140
00:08:41,498 –> 00:08:44,027
I wish you all the best and luck.

00:08:44,050 –> 00:08:45,409
Thank you.
