Make Money Online Today

October 15, 2007

If making money online was as easy as I’ve been claiming over the last few months, everyone would be doing it. Every man, woman and their dog would be running websites and earning money through affiliate schemes. There would be a whole new industry sparking up, people would be quitting their jobs and the economy as we know it would change forever.

So, as that blatantly isn’t happening, have I been misleading everyone on this blog about how to make money online? No, not at all. You see, the reason every man, woman, dog and the dog’s hamster isn’t doing this is quite simple. They can’t be bothered.

Making money online is easy yes, but it does require a little initial effort. It requires a person to learn new things and to take a risk; to actually get out there and do it. As I often reference my flatmate in these scenarios, it would be prudent to do so again. He sees what I do on a daily basis, hears me harp on about how I make money online and how I try and show others how to do it. He even sees my stats (both traffic and earnings) for various websites and networks.

Does this inspire him to do the same? Well, yes and no. He obviously comes out with the ‘I need to get into this web stuff’ line quite a lot, but never actually does anything about it. That surprises me, but maybe it shouldn’t; it is after all human nature. I’ve even offered to set up hosting space for him, all he needs to do is to pick a domain name, buy it, and I’ll stick a Wordpress site up for him.

Still nothing, he just can’t get motivated. That sadly is the case with a great many people. They want to know how to make money online, they’re eager to learn, but when it comes down to actually doing something about it they fall short.

As Jedi Master Yoda once famously said ‘That is why you failed’?.

There’s no sense reading this blog and the blogs of the leading affiliate marketers trying to learn the best ways to succeed, the secrets of their success, if you’re not actually going to put into practise anything that you have learned.

So you want to make money online? I assume the answer to that question was a resounding yes? If so, do it. Not tomorrow, or next week, or when you’ve next got some free time between changing nappies and painting the living room (I never did finish painting my living room, too busy making money online) do it now. Today. This minute in fact.

Everything you need to know about making money online is right here. Read it and then act on it. Otherwise don’t bother reading it and get back to whatever you were doing. I wouldn’t want to waste your valuable time.

  3. Hi Anonymous, I’m guessing by your angry reply that you’ve tried to make money online and have failed. I’m sorry to hear that, but perhaps you’re going about it wrong?

    You should do a little more research before saying that money can’t be made. Try reading blogs from people like Shoemoney and John Chow, perhaps then you’ll see how it can be done.
