Though you don’t say it outright, 90% of Online success is simply NOT quitting.
If you’re willing to weather the first year (which is about the learning curve for most people), then you’ll be OK. The problem is that far too many will give up in anger and frustration long before then.
It’s a shame, because success is there for the taking if you’re willing to learn and grow…
