3 Myths About Making Money Online That Keep You Stuck

When I first heard about making money online, I immediately thought,
“That’s for people who are super techy… not me.”

Turns out, I was wrong about a lot of things — and if you’ve ever felt stuck before you even started, you might be too.

Let’s clear that up.

Myth 1: You Need to Be Tech-Savvy

I get why people think this. You hear “online business” and picture complicated websites, coding, or needing to understand every social media platform.

But the truth? You don’t have to be a tech wizard.
When I started, I barely knew how to set up a basic page — and I definitely didn’t know what “pixels” or “funnels” meant.

These days, there are tools and templates that make the process beginner-friendly. And if you can follow step-by-step instructions, you can learn what you need along the way.

Being tech-savvy isn’t the requirement. Being willing to learn is.

Myth 2: It’s Too Late to Start

A lot of people believe they’ve missed the boat.
“I should’ve started years ago,” they say.

But the online space is bigger now than it’s ever been — more people are shopping, learning, and connecting online every single day.
The opportunities haven’t dried up… they’ve multiplied.

Sure, things look different than they did five or ten years ago, but that’s actually a good thing. The tools are better, the strategies are simpler, and there’s room for beginners who are willing to show up.

It’s only “too late” if you never start.

Myth 3: You Need a Huge Following

This one keeps so many people stuck in “waiting mode.”
They think they need thousands of followers before they can even think about making money online.

The reality? You don’t need a giant audience — you can reach the right people even if you’re starting from zero.
One of the fastest ways to do that is through paid traffic.

With the right strategy, you can get your message in front of people who are already interested in what you’re offering — without spending years building up a big social media following.

Many successful online business owners start with no audience at all. They use paid ads to get in front of the right people quickly, then build their audience as they go.

What Actually Matters When Starting

If you’ve been putting off your online business because of one (or all) of these myths, here’s the truth:

You don’t need to be tech-savvy.
You’re not too late.
You don’t need a huge following.

What you do need is a clear plan, a willingness to learn, and the consistency to keep showing up — even when it feels slow.

Start where you are. Learn as you go.
And remember, the only way to stay stuck is to not start at all.
