Seriously, I laugh everytime I see one of those "how to make money online?" thread... Why? Well, if you search this forum, you will see that there IS a LOT of valuable info on here on just that and many people here already know how to make money online but... The reason people keep asking that is because: PEOPLE ARE JUST PLAIN LAZY! and are procrastinators. Seriously, I think everyone is expecting an easy way to make money online, but I really don't think there is an easy way that doesn't require learning and efforts. I recommend you change your mindset first before you start thinking about making money online. Fact: You probably won't make it, period.
That's one reason. The other reason is people switch tactics to often, because it doesn't seem to work. Stick to one thing and work on it. Almost all tactics known tactics work, just stay focussed and make slight changes in your field of expertise. Don't go from SEO, to PPC, to article marketing, just because it all doesn't seem to work.
The problem is people want the easy money or the get rich quick scheme. They don't exist.... money making on the internet is like any other tangible business... it requires knowledge, hard work, dedication, common sense and some love. I must say running AdToll.com I do see a lot of people looking for a miracle... they join up not wanting to do any work and expect their just going to rack up huge earnings. They don't last long and always move on to some other scheme they think might make them rich quick. These types of people never make it online.... its the famous 80/20 rule. 20% of the internet money makers make 80% of the money. The 80/20 rule applies to almost everything in life, especially business.
Hahaha While your post is a little blunt you are quite correct. Its a matter of getting up off the couch and actually doing it.
