    Hmm... actually, I think "easy" is not so much part of the equation. In fact... I think when people say "making money online is difficult" (or easy), they might be referring to their current situation, which is pretty much subjective issue.

    It doesn't necessarily have to be a question of easy or difficult... I think it sometimes might be simply of question whether to do it or not. :)

    Let's put it this way: if you see a 6 month old baby - and tell him "walking is easy". That doesn't help baby at all, it's still darn difficult for 6 month old baby to walk - he simply doesn't have all the requirements to reach that point.

    When that baby grows and gets older... after some time she realizes that "heck yeh, walking IS easy - now I wanna run". And there she goes screaming and enjoying life.

    What seemed impossible at certain point, is now very natural and easy.

    It's same with generating revenue: it might be so that one could be (temporarily) in a situation where his business simply cannot generate income. There might be routes for fast growth (which might require experimenting different systems - or stop banging his head on the wall, and perhaps quit and start a new business). It might be so that his initial business has been around only for a year (or that he has started new websites over and over year after year - never concentrating properly on making one good website), and he might simply need to spend 2-3 more years on his business.

    It might simply be a case where the business owner needs to be patient, willing to work smarter (not necessarily harder) and be open to new opportunities.

    always an enjoyment to read your thread, i've checked your site after reading that 37 to 14,657 thread and really liked it, i also studied your income streams and will try to implement them on my new project. one question, can u share with us your average monthly earning from all income streams of your site, that would be a great encouragement for me and possibly others :)

    richy11, no problem - glad you liked it.

    Glad you enjoyed them - more coming in the future. Unfortunately I'm not going to give my figures in public right now (maybe I do that at some point - don't know yet), but checking my sponsors, paid reviews, and visitor amounts should give a some kind of picture of my income streams.

    Don't forget to check out other threads like Burta's or dct's - I found them very encouraging.

    muthukswamy, hopefully you didn't seem that as "patronizing" or anything ;) Just tried to make it "clear"...

    You started selling links? :)

    No shit? Then I suppose the guy who just recently offered me $750 for linking to his 5 pages must have been just my imagination ;)

    There's plenty of link selling opportunities out there. I'm selling lots of links for my website (hint: see my signature)... and there's plenty of people out there waiting for good link buying opportunities. In my opinion - link selling is something "hot" these days.

    nshadab, thanks for the kind words - let us know how things go with your implementation. Good luck with it!

    great post. found it to be a very informative read. best of luck with your site in the future.

    and also, as others have mentioned, it's very refreshing to see a good content filled thread like this that isn't just a thinly veiled attempt to sell something

    Apclik, totality and mydeuter: glad you guys enjoyed. More coming in the future.

    VentureOnline: Thanks - I also enjoy reading "success stories". And it's true that you gotta do something. Take a goal, and then start moving towards it - and experiment along the way.

    Thanks for the great information and the post. It's not very often that you see people willing to help other people out with things. I am new to this, so hopefully I will get the hang of it soon.

    Thanks:cool:
