As a web developer myself, it is a challenge for many to be as successful as one would want. Because of how huge and enormous the web development community has become, there is no longer and easy way to become successful in developing internet properties. Having been in this game for some time, I find as a domainer, web designer, and developer in general the following key points to understand and live by in order to be successful:

1. Be Consistent: Personally, this has been a biggie for me. Being inconsistent with my development strategy has been a downfall that lingered my potential for some time until I sat down and created a consistent plan for developing my empire. I consider consistency the number one factor in terms of failure and success and I GUARANTEE if you are not consistent, you WILL NOT succeed.
2. Success Does Not Happen Overnight: Too many spammers and shady con artists have created an impression that the internet is a ‘get rich
3. Determination: Always have a goal for your business. One important thing I learned is to define a mission and vision for your company. This does not have to be a long paragraph of what you wish to accomplish in life, but simply something that describes what you wish to achieve for both yourself, your company, and your clients. This, I believe, will be a great motivator and reduce your chances of dropping out of whatever business you are in.
4. Finish what you start! Another issue for me has been getting excited about an opportunity, starting it, and then after a while that excitement died down and I was left with no results, time and money gone to waste, and no ROI. Don’t let this happen to you!

These four short points are what I see in the web development business as the keys to being successful. Perhaps I haven not listed every single aspect of being a winner as a web developer; however, I do believe being consistent, determined, and punctual in addressing your goals and wants will give you an edge over the other 90% of developers who struggle yet fail (sadly).
