    Being a newbie I was putting my trust into every one, I got scammed more then a dozen of times but With time I learned to manage my customers , Micro working sites helped me alot, When I started , I was afraid if of losing customers , that is how every newbie thinks but gradually , you gain experience and everything becomes fine.

    to be patient, I worked hard for over 3 months before I saw my first sale. Then I got more and more. All too often I see posts at different forums where people give up after a couple of weeks. Be patient, pay attention to analytics, and make changes as you see fit.

    Patience and consistency is key. Making money online isn't an over night success like most IMs make it out to be.

    I agree with the above answers. Patience and consistancy matters. It also helps to have a plan and do some market research.

    Yes, without a decent marketing plan you're nothing. That is more important than having an advertisting budget -- though you do need one of those, too.

    Teaches you to look for information and educate yourself, in addition of creating relations with clients from all over the world.

    " Patience and consistency " I agree 100% with @Dionne Taylor

    That money doesn't come overnight, some people will sell you anything good or not to get your money, lastly it's amazing how many people still believe the get rich tomorrow scheme.

    Always ask for money upfront. In over a decade of doing business online I was scammed twice: by people who were supposed to be close to me (not really friends, but not strangers either). So my mantra now is no money .. no funny :D
