Hello, First of all i have to say that old saying "All that Glitters Isn't gold" especially on the internet.... First of all, Train yourself to be Blind towards get rich quick methods, or more simply, get paid to click, paid to surf, paid to read emails, paid to simply get paid.... Second of all, do not enter Martix ad networks, where you pay a fee and get two people to join, who do the same and so on.... Third of all, do not mess with google... its a great way to find stuff and learn from by searching, but it seems you may have done something to get banned from adsense... Fourth - Do not join get paid to fill surveys as you would hardly have more than 100 bucks after filling more than a thousand surveys.... So thats whats not to do.... [Points One and Two are basically scams to scam people who pay for advertising. Advertising works by getting the advertiser to pay per click, or per impression... what these networks do is get easy money by ripping offff(yes i know there are a couple of extra "ff" in off - to exaggerate on how hard they rip) advertisers who unknowingly fell into advertising with them, once a scammer , always a scammer... eventually you will get scammed...] So now what YOU CAN DO.... 1>Improve on your writing skills, be a content writer, write articles, start a blog and use your writing skills to come up with creative and sensible articles to get more traffic and market it on social networking websites to get even more traffic... visit Johnchow.com and/or simmillar sites on how to monetize your blog. THIS was the easy part... NOW starts the tough ways to earn money... 2>Learn Designing and/or programming and sell your services, get better and earn more.., after you earn more, team up or hire a team, open yourself and compete with the monster competition online [probably looking at a span of 1 to 1 and a half years] (difficulty: 3 out of 5) 3>Learn the way marketing works, ad-campaigns work, get familiar with PPC campaigns, know how to advertise the stuff and where to advertise - in short most effective way to advertise..., Share knowledge, learn, learn more, be a Marketing expert online, and help people and get paid big (difficulty: 4 out of 5) 4>Learn Search engine optimization, learn the good ways and tactics generally available online, ask the pros and find out more... try and fail and retry and fail and re-retry and fail and re-re-retry and pass.... this will probably make you the best way to earn money online... big bucks... but the industry is crushing... (difficulty: 5 out of 5) So what you may have probably learned out here is that there is competition in everything... it takes time and patience to learn and acquire knowledge and to come up with your own strategies.... NOW THE BEST WAY AND PROBABLY THE HARDEST [WHERE YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO OVERCOME YOURSELF!] After you complete all 5 of those steps above... LEARN TO BE CREATIVE, GET AN IDEA! - work on it, use your acquired skills to help your project, or hire professionals... BECAUSE ALL IT TAKES IS AN IDEA [edit] After you are successful [probably after 6 months to 3 years] write an ebook and sell it to a thousand people, for 30-50$, thereby you may earn an extra 3000$-5000$ [motivation: be successful to earn more money]. Then open an affiliate scheme where people get 10% commission on referring people to buy your book, so you may get an extra 1000people or more... thereby earning you 3000$-5000$ + (3000$-5000[*90%]) since 10% goes away in referral give aways.... [/edit] Lastly, you may find a lot of threads here and on any other forum, just search the forum for "how to earn" and you will find thousands of threads with people asking the same question... if you have time, go through a few... and you will see what i am talking about.... As of course, you may realize in the end that Money IS Everything, AND YET it IS NOTHING CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE! (i came up with this while trying to answer to the same old question asked by the same new newbie - "how do i earn online -please help" out here)
Your post is still a little geared towards the original person you were going to reply to, saying to avoid google. After all, for the majority of people Google usually provides a fair enough trade, doesn't it? This could make a good article if you can provide some references to places to learn and such.. But uhh, considering where we are, that is entirely optional and would just be to improve it for the sake of improving it.
There are lot of way to earn online it depends what us your business and what can you offer on web for money.
The four things you mentioned: If a person learns any one of these four skills, then he/she can easily earn money at freelance sites. "once a scammer , always a scammer... eventually you will get scammed" At freelance sites, one can earn money without worrying about scams as he/she never have to pay anything from his/her own pocket.
great post lots of newbies fall for all of the get rich schemes and they waste their money and time by doing so. Instead of going for solid business models and staying focused on it again, great post greetz, jobic
Not only newbies fall into this trap. But a lot of old timer also fall in this due to their greed that want to get rich quick without doing and job. So,my advise is if you find a deal that sound too good to be true then it probably does
