MAKE REAL MONEY ONLINE

Want to Make Extra Cash
Online
The current financial
crises means that more
and more people want
to make money online
not only do they want
to make money online
they usually want to
make money fast and
often they want to
make money for free.
Unfortunately there are
a lot of unethical
marketers out there
who are more than
happy to take your
money and and attempt
to deliver on their
promise which will offer
you fast extra cash
online - if you have any
sense, or respect for
your money you will
run a million miles.
Why Internet Marketing
Has Such Bad Reputation
Yes you can make
money online. First
though when you are
looking for an
opportunity to make
money online
remember that most
people trying to make
money online are trying
to do it by earning
commissions from
newbies who are
looking to make money
online - people like you!
Guess which programs
get promoted the most?
The best programs -
sure, that's the
programs with the best
commissions of course!
Quite a number of
current programs have
up front charges of
around $2000 - the
commission is probably
about 30-40% - you can
see the temptation can't
you?
That is the heart of the
problem with the ethics
of Internet Marketing -
and leads to new
people doing one of
two things: loosing a lot
of money and then
quiting the business
getting a real bad taste
in their mouth - and
quitting the business.
I was lucky - first I
didn't have much
money so I quit without
losing too much cash,
just a whole lot of time,
which for many people
is even more precious.
And secondly I found a
few good, ethical
marketers who taught
me how to make money
online for real.
You Can Make Real
Money Online
But there is no pot of
gold!
Can You Make Real
Money Online - Is It All A
Scam?
Yes you can make real
money - but its not by
selling stuff to other
people who want to
make money. Instead its
by selling stuff to
people who really want
to buy it: real stuff:
iPods, e-books on how
to meet a girl, where to
find a replacement
vacuum bag for your
model Hoover.
Is it quick and easy to
do this? No its not.
There is an awful lot of
both wrong and mis-
information out there.
You don't need a big
name blog, or even to
be a great writer to
make money online. In
fact one of the people I
know makes 6-figures a
year online is an
absolutely appalling
writer by his own
admission. You don't
need to blog regularly,
you don't need lots of
readers and you don't
need social networks
like twitter and
facebook.
What you need is
buyers on your site; and
your site needs to be
focused with providing
answer to people
searching for an answer
to their problem: how
do I get rid of ants in
the kitchen? how do I
get a jammed DVD out
of a Panasonic XYZ DVD
Player? how to cure
acne? Your site needs to
provide an answer to
your visitor in a manner
which will get you paid -
be it an eBay or
Amazon sale or an e-
book or an Adsense ad
click.

Think Like A Customer to
Make Money Online
Just like any business if
you can turn it around
and think about the
customer you are
probably 80% of the
way there.
Unfortunately all the
blogs which tell you
that if you write about
your passion and the
money will follow are
wrong for about 99% of
people. If you passion is
credit cards, or termite
extermination - than
you might be OK
though! Think of all the
small business that you
have seen start and fail
because someone had a
passion to produce
beautiful candles or
little girl's fairy dresses.
That's really all you
need to know: to make
money online you need
to think about what the
customer (the buyer)
wants - not what you
want. You may want to
write about what you
did on the holidays or
why you enjoy your new
puppy - but its unlikely
to make you money. If
on the other hand you
can provide good
information on how to
save money on your
next beach vacation in
Florida -you may be
onto something.
Can Anyone Make Real
Money Online?
No they can't. The lazy
and terminally stupid
can't. Sorry if that
offends but this takes
real effort. Eventually
you can set up a nice
little passive income
business by building
niche sites - but for the
first year or so its going
to take a lot of work.
You don't however
need to be highly
technically literate, a
fantastic writer, or a
great marketer. All of
those skills you can
learn - it will help if you
already have them, or
you have the money to
buy the skills that you
don't have - but these
aren't impossible
barriers.
Where Do I Start to
Make Extra Cash Online?
I have written before
about the few sources
of good information
which I use to learn this
business. Now however
one of my mentors:
Courtney Tuttle has
launched an affordable
membership that
teaches just that. Court
with his colleague Mark
have several years
experience and have
been teaching and
consulting for a while -
though to be honest
their previous programs
were too expensive for
me - and most of their
information can be be
found on their blog.
Now they have
launched the Keyword
Crash Course Video
Series for $1
- yes $1.
UPDATE - over a year
later I am still using
their system - because it
works - and it just keeps
on getting better!
What do you get for
that $1?
Video Course plus
Transcripts
Well you get get access
to a set of 10 videos
(plus transcriptions if
you prefer to read
rather than listen) which
cover the basics of
making money online
from keyword selection,
site development using
WordPress and getting
your site ranked in
Google.
