There are a lot of half truths and misdirections in some of the posts I read. It is difficult to know who is being genuine and what actually works. I have been in the "internets" game long enough to tell many of the too good to be true posts. There are several pitfalls with people wanting to learn how to make money from different internet projects. Don't get me wrong thee are a lot of knowledgable people on DP and you can pick up some real gems. Unfortunately members are inclinded to be more interested in methods that are too good to be true, you know the make zillions by doing 5 minutes work a months and that 5 minutes inclues a 4 minute tea break. If it is too good to be true it is, do not waste your time. Earning online takes effort and knowledge. Unfortunately most people including me get tripped up by the effort part, we know what we must do but fail to do it. You can streamline your efforts by using software and tools that automate many of the boring tasks. However I must point out that software designed to spam is bad and a complete waste of time. It will work for 5 minutes and then get you banned. Going cheap is not always the way. Take articles writing, there is no point in buying articles that do not read correctly. Poorly written or spun articles will not attract readers. Keep track of your efforts, keep a spreadsheet so you know what to do next and what you have done. "Analysis paralysis" will lead you to wasting your time, always have a reason for all your internet activities. By all means blow off steam and have some fun but do not get sidetracked like I being now, keep it short and don't waffle
I totally agree. Their is still this idea that it is easy to earn an fantasic living off the internet with little to no work. In my experience these methods are very rare and you'll never get one through advertised eBooks. If someone has taken time to write up and sell a book off the back of it, then 1 the loop hole if it works will be plugged very soon. 2 why are they flogging ebooks if they can make fortune by their method. I've been working on the web now for 5 years and I have to be part of a real life company to make enough to live on. I make some money through quality sites I have built over years but never anything rediculous. Lets face it the only reason the Rich jerk is rich (if he really is) is because thousand of people pay him hoping to get rich.
you are absolutely right. I totally agree with you. Thanks a lot For sharing tips with us. I will Look fwd to see more from you regards, Mehwish http://www.360bposolutions.com
@ newsniche. I totally agree with you mate... I don't even look at methods that are too good too be true. Making money online is not that easy. It requires work, patience and consistency among other things. And even if someone manages to find a way to make quick money online I don't think that they would share it with you don't you think? lol
you are absolutely right. I totally agree with you. Thanks a lot For sharing tips with us. I will Look fwd to see more from you regards, Mehwish http://www.360bposolutions.com
LOVE IT, one thing I would really like to add is to get any success at all online takes time and not a couple of hours a day, if you want to make it online don't think that it is anything less then a full time job. Personally I spend at least 12 hours daily either marketing, tweeking my website, building connections, and learning from others from there websites, blogs, and forum posts. Anyway excellent post.
I think the keeping track part is very important once you find the right method for you. You have to keep a tab on your progress if the method you selected is bringing you income. Give a month or two if one strategy works out well. And id it doesn't move on to the next.
Great post! Earning online CAN be easy though, especially for those with a lot of knowledge. I've been taught by the best, and they have told me this: "It takes TIME and WORK, and A LOT OF IT, but in the end, you really can come out the winner".
Great post. I fell for this stuff when I first started. Reading forums is what knocked some sense into me
You are spot on the only ones that make money are those form those scams. To make honest money takes hard work and dedication with out those two phases you will never earn and it does not happen overnight it can take a while for you to see those earning skyrocket.
very nice post, good to see somebody with knowledge AND common sense. I would like your thoughts on this if you have the time: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1337868
i made money the wrong way and it was gone before i knew it. now i am doing it the right way with hard work and i know it will pay off.
I agree. People are easily attracted to get rich quick schemes, even though they have been warned. Online or offline, it always requires patience and commitment.
Since we're talking about legit and realistic ways to make money online, how much can you make a day if you're willing to put say 2-3 hours of work? Let's take freelance article writing and AssociatedContent writing out of the question. thewanderingpen
"newsniche..." you're right...so right. As a member of other forums I can truly agree with you. As a 9-5 office worker, I have to measure out my time for internet marketing...very carefully. No time to waste anywhere. I find that having a "to-do-list" from the start, and folders that I can have access to keep me focused and organized. Jenevieve
I think you're right. I recently read a post on DP. Someone asked how many hours a day people spent on Internet marketing. The average was somewhere between 7 and 10 hours I think. I like your idea of keeping track of things and analyzing. My desktop was full of Excel and Word files
