No Really – how do you make money on-line?- the Truth
“I mean – I mean- whats the secret how do they do it? You know the six year old, who is blind and lives on a island with no Internet access – yet on a three weeks trip to Chicago the kid makes $450,000 on Google Adsense with a web site devoted to six year olds who live on islands with no Internet access!
Is that fair? - I’ve been playing with this for three years with high speed access and an MBA (well my wife has an MBA) and I get nowhere – I mean – come on – whats the REAL story?
How do you actually make money on the Internet? I mean how do I make money on the Internet? Whats the secret?”
I understand – Ok so you have a web site and it has a visitor every month – regular as clockwork – your mom. You put up one of those squeeze-page-lander thingys out there -and no-one came. You did that affiliate thing with the free course you found on the Rice Krispies box – and found out it was a scam – the box had been hacked, the product was illegal – and the FBI raided your house. You tried some PPC – PCP whatever Google deal -and woke up to find Google had taken $4000 out of your bank account – which meant your bank seized your car to pay for the overdraft – and…
“You see – who is making money out there – is it all a scam?”
How do you make money on the internet?
Well same way as you make money anywhere else -I’m afraid: – hard work, diligence, study and patience.
In the North American market place – there are only two ways to make money – you steal (see Enron) or you work hard and long and you learn your market. (the six year old kid who makes $450,000 in two weeks notwithstanding)
The good news about the Internet – is its so open and available.
The bad news about the Internet its so open and available. You start signing up for this secret and that secret and this guaranteed program and that guaranteed program – soon you $5000 in debt and have 300 emails and hour flooding your mail box, every hour, (even Christmas Day and Thanksgiving- -especially Christmas day and Thanksgiving)

Alright alright – here’s the secret…
anyone around?
Just you and me?
Ok – close that door…
Heres the secret: -
……………………………………………………………….hard work, diligence,study and patience -
Dont get mad at me – you asked….
Lets try it this way – Q& A time….
………………………………………………...you start
Q – Whats the best way to start?
A – it doesn’t matter – just start
Q- Whats the best program? I mean – SEO, PPC, Web blogging, membership sites, niche markets, affilate markets, list building….
A- it doesnt matter- just start
Q-Your becoming very annoying
A- it doesnt matter just start
Q- is this a machine?
A- press 3 now to see if I care…ok wait. Wait
Ask what does matter…………….
…………………ask……….
Q – what does matter?
A – What matters is you pick ONE thing and do it all the way through.One course, one program. And DO IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
Think of it this way – your business on the Internet will make you more than your job. If you choose it will make you more than a Bank Manager makes, more than most lawyers make, more than most people with an MBA make. Certainly more than the average university graduate makes.
In other words more than those pople who spent 3 or 4 or 5 years at college and University earning degrees and credentials. Who spend 10, 15 and more thousand dollars a year on college and university education to get those positions.
So doesn’t it make sense that you have to spend some time studying the business, the way to make money. And invest money into the courses and study?
If you know how to make money already – you wouldnt be asking how to make money. If you knew how to create an income on-line, you wouldn’t be asking.
So you dont know.
Therefore you have to learn. Its not going to happen by magic.Or luck. For you and me its work and diligence and study and effort and work and study and diligence….you get my drift?
So what do you study? It doesn’t really matter. You are taking courses for your internet degree. You have to start somewhere
Q- But what if I find its the wrong course?
A- there are no wrong courses
Q – But -
Woa
A- Let me clarify. If the course or program does not offer a step by step guide; – from Step 1 – switch on your computer to Step 20 – you should have money in the bank at this point. Dont do it .Yet.
If the course does not have a money back guarantee – never sign up. If the course doesnt trust itself – you dont want it.
For instance – John Reese has a great course up there right now – Opportunity .com (let me warn you John Reese is detail oriented and you will have everything that anybody every learned about marketing on the interent at the end , if you follow step by step.
Ed Dale hass a fantastic FREE 30 day challenge.
Frank Kern has a new InfoMarketing Monthly (or as Frank Kern calls it -the Screw Google system) site that has two or three step by step departments that will start you off.(Yours to Try for $1.00)
Or sign up for a Problogger course
The key, the seceret, the absolute fundamental- is pick something that has a guarantee, that has a step by step guide. And do it.Step by step by step by step.
Q- Then I will make money?
A- Maybe, maybe not. Its only one course. It takes more than one course to get a degree, or even a certificate from a tech school. Lets be patient. Follow me on the next blog post.
I’ll explain more then.
In the meantime do some research – look at the programs out there – see if you can get a free look at the programs – get a feel for whats out there.
Next post. We’ll take the next step.
Let me give you the Universal guarantee. If you dont quit – you’ll make a lot of money on the Internet. A lot of money

Hard work, diligence, study and patience… I agree 100%
I’ve also found this one is true too:
1. Build A List
2. Create A Relationship With the People On That List
3. Market To Your List
By sending one email I can make several thousands of dollars within a matter of days – Bulls**t??
Not with these three steps it isn’t.
All the best,
Dario
