    I know this will sound simple but mine is taking action.

    I have coached a number of people over the years and the ones that seem to pull through are constantly taking action and when stuck they are asking the right questions. The bottom line has always been ... taking action.

    They may have gone down the wrong path but the ones that make it know when it is time to take action. They also know when to ask questions or change course and take action to not repeat mistakes that produce no or little results.

    Taking Action seems to be the best piece of advice I can give.

    I was going to say driving traffic but you are absolutely correct... do something, anything, just take action.

    Test stuff!

    Too many people get stuck reading forums and blogs but never take action. In your marketing plan, you have to actually do something, not just learn. If a surgeon only knew how to perform surgery, but never actually has done a surgery, he never makes any money.

    I'd say hard work tbh. If you're willing to put the work into something, you're more likely to reap the rewards

    Keep working and always think of ways that you can help solve problems for others. Thats when it starts to pay.

    For me it's been focused, taking action or working your butt off on the wrong direction can never put the money in your pocket.

    However, you need the combination of Action/Hardwork/Focus to get to where you want to be.

    I think it is a combination of planning ahead, setting a goal, taking action and of course working very hard. I have always believed in working hard for what I want and exhausting all of my options in order to achieve success.

    Taking action is very important indeed. Even if it doesn't work out you will still learn something new or maybe get another, much better idea.
    Here is another tip for making money online - if you have a great money making idea or method... never tell anybody about it :D

    First take action about website, and next action should be about traffic...it's really that simple :)

    Mine is consistancy. Find a routine that works, stick to it, and treat it like a job.

    Heres one of my fav quotes from Warren Buffet:

    "Rule number 1: Never lose money Rule number 2: Never forget rule number one" - Warren Buffet

    I think it goes to show how Warren Buffet thinks and how pretty much everyone should think within their subliminal thoughts.

    Never stopping to look for new ideas, ways and other stuff.
    Work smart is better than work hard.
    These words sounds goods as for me; I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts -- J. Rockefeller.

    when stuck, most people just sit and watch, instead of taking action :) we must take action always, if we work we will get something ^^

    So simple and true, reminds me of a scripture (hope I don't offend anyone). The scripture goes something like this: "We reap that which we sow." That is one of the immutable laws of nature - if you never plant any seeds you will never grow anything at all.

    It seems a lot of people say that taking action is the best thing to do, and I don't disagree. However, you also need to be taking action on a certain plan otherwise you will go nowhere.

    If you're driving somewhere that you've never been and you don't have a map, you can take all the action that you want (in this case, driving) and chances are you will never get there.

    The same goes for making money. If you aren't following a plan, there's a good chance you won't get to where you want.

    I know a lot of people get too caught up in reading forums and trying to learn more and more without doing anything, and yes that can be a problem, but you do want to read and learn enough so that when you start to take action, you know what you're doing instead of just blindly trying a bunch of stuff out.

    So I guess my #1 tip would be to first learn and research a certain method whether it be SEO, PPC, Banners, etc. and then make a plan and put it into action based on what you learned.

    Many never make it past the research phase or they just create one page on a free blog site and complain they never made any money ...
    Your tip is correct to learn and have a plan but most people wait until their plan is perfect and it never will be and they end up taking little or limited action.
