Making Money Online - My Thoughts

I have read what seem to be a million emails on how to do this make money on line. We all know of the story of “I am a computer and internet novice but now I am making $5,000 per week”. Wow that seems easy!!

Needless to say it is frustrating that you are not making that kind of money, any money in fact. You are probably like me reading of all these success stories and then in a brief optimistic moment joining several of these programs that can cost you from anywhere from $49 to well over a $1000 to tell you the “inside tricks” to making huge dollars in a short time.

I have read a vast amount of this information and whilst some of it is down-right terrible and a complete waste of money, others are very complex (you delete these) and there are some seem to be far too easy (and often are). Surprisingly there are many that are useful in that they give you a number of useful tips. This is the key – take only the information that is useful to you.

It is easy to forget that the people writing the “get rich on line” articles are already rich and they have a healthy bank account. Thus, they are at the top of the mountain saying ‘it’s an easy climb to the top”. However, as we all know it’s easy to say that when you have already achieved your goal.

I have made only a few thousand dollars on line over the past 4 months – so I am no rich guy (yet). It is a good feeling but it is nothing to retire on and I am still going to work office everyday. Nonetheless, I am holding the line that the key to success is research and persistence.

My thoughts to making money on line are that the first step is to research several sites and be prepared to spend a few hundred dollars and initially fail. On the positive if you do learn at least a few good tips each time you fail then it has been worthwhile. I have found www.legitimatebusinessreviews.com to be a great website for really genuine information. Whilst I have no association with this website I suggest that you have a look to investigate the many avenues of making money online. I am sure that you will agree there are so many ways that you have never even considered. One of great items on the website is that it rates and reviews other sites and their on line programs.

Secondly, I also recommend that you look at perrymarshall.com; as this team discusses how to generate traffic without having to purchase volume. I am on the mailing list for this site and I have found their tips to be very simple to follow.

Finally, there is affiliate marketing where really you act as an agent for an existing product. This process is almost like having a McDonald’s franchise in which they (the product owner) gives you the product and it is up to you to sell it. It can be hard work but it is made far easier if you like the product and have great support from your owner. Remember it is in their interest if you succeed as they will be making money.

One product that I am personally involved (as an affiliate) with is Echelon Research / Investment Intelligence Pty Ltd. This is a financial research company that gives details of the highest performing managed funds. I am finding this to be a good exercise as I have used the product and I am interested in the industry. It is much easier for me to do this (due to my interest) than investing in say on line cosmetic agency franchise. Here is my link http://www.investmentintelligence.com.au/cmd.php?Clk=2208474

I have found the experience worthwhile as I have both learned much from the internet in terms of marketing. However, persistence is still needed to make it work (yes sometimes I get frustrated).

Email if you have some better ideas.
