Make Money

In order to make money online, you need to know how to achieve it and to possess the right tools, resources and skills to be successful and consistent at it.

There are any number of ways to do this and revealing them to you is the whole point of this section of the website.

While I won't try to convince you that it is easy or that anyone can do it, I will assure you that if you are willing to put in the time and effort to learn the ropes, do the work and be consistent at it, you can succeed.

Where Does the Money Come From?

For anyone starting out on this particular journey into the unknown (for them), figuring out just exactly where the money is going to come from in the first place is a curious springboard to uncharted waters.make money

The short answer is that the money you can earn online comes from companies that are happy to leverage your knowledge and production skills to promote them, for which they will remunerate you via advertisement revenue, straight payment for work provided or affiliate commissions.

The long answer is basically the same, except it depends on which area of the Internet you want to get your money from.

Online Jobs

Many newcomers start by choosing to do some form of work for remuneration (a paycheck), which is perfectly fine and very commonplace. There are so many companies and individuals who need people to perform some kind of work for which they are keen to pay for.

Such work may involve, for example:

There are even more ways that businesses can use people's skills, but I don't want to create a list that is so long no one will ever read it all!

Freelance Work

Working as a freelancer is a similar means of getting paid as working directly for companies online, with the difference being that you are essentially working for yourself and not tied to any one company, business or individual.

Freelance writers are commonplace, with many businesses keen to outsource their content creation to good writers and can pay quite well for the service. However, it should be pointed out that since the sudden growth of cheap, artificial intelligence (AI) content creation, many freelancer writers are finding it harder to secure work as competing with machine generated content is harder than ever.

The same problem is faced by freelance voiceover specialists in video creation, as AI text-to-speech robots are getting so realistic sounding it is getting harder to tell the difference.

However, don't be discouraged. There are still plenty of businesses that prefer the work of real people to that artificially generated by a machine.

Entrepreneurship

This is an area where many people make a full-time income and some even make huge amounts of money, as there is no limit to what can be earned through ad revenue and commissions for selling products and services online.

I myself follow this mode of income generation, making the bulk of my income from affiliate marketing. This is a fancy way of saying I promote and sell products and services for other people to earn commission on each sale.

The other side of that coin is earning from advertisements placed on online properties such as websites, blogs or social media platform profiles. I prefer to use websites for this purpose.

Lastly is arguably the biggest money maker of all and that is selling your own products. The big hitters in this industry produce digital products like courses, information packages and the like and drive customers to their products via affiliates.

Providers of physical products also do very well online, especially those involved in drop-shipping, print-on-demand wearables and accessories and those selling directly from an online store.

Summary

There are so many ways of making a living from the Internet that it might appear almost impossible to fail!

Yet while there are lots of options, it is not realistic to just suppose that you can just create a website or online store from scratch and expect customers to just show up and start buying from you. Likewise, if you choose the affiliate marketer route, people are not merely going to appear on your website or blog and click your links to buy whatever you're promoting.

It takes a lot of work to position yourself and your online properties in the right place for people to find you, trust you and ultimately buy from you. This is not really any different from a real world brick and mortar business where you need to get people through the door before you'll sell a single item.

This section of the website contains a number of information-based articles that explain the various ways of making money online to break up the topic into readable chunks so you can learn what I share with you from my own experience and know how.

I expect you to learn, apply and succeed!
