As I listen to the news today and the world seems to be making money again. But I wonder where that money is flowing. The DOW is going up but I have no money there anymore since I got ripped off so i know i am not making money there anymore.
As I look on to where the money is there is no doubt that there is money on the internet. Now how to extract some of that. I read a lot and I have seen all the get rich quick programs out there telling how to make thousands in 30 days. Now I have to say that it might be able to be done, but you better have a bank roll.
If you are like me you don't have that money to invest, but you have the time. When it came upon the time of realizing that my financial security was being put at risk because of the markets decreasing I had to start making choices. One choice was i do not have the time to go back to school and start over again. At least in the formal way. The internet supplies vast amounts of knowledge for free, so I took it upon myself to train and learn.as I go. Maybe not the best way as it is easy to get caught up into doing something wrong.
I have found few mentors that really want to help anyone but into their pocket.And that is understandable because they are really doing what I am doing. Trying to make a buck at this internet stuff. But I think it comes back to a few simple basic things if you want to be in business selling stuff. You have to have something that people really want and will reuse every month and or every day.
I have to admit that there a lot of good programs out there to show you how to make money on-line but you will never ever get all the information you need to connect the dots for you. Most of the things you need to know are small in details and will be discovered by accident or because you search for the information you seek.
There are some basic steps though that anyone who wants to have a internet presence needs to do and that is to have a blog. In matter of fact i will predict that you will have over ten by the time you find what it is you can make money at. And who knows you may well have over one hundred if you do things a different way to make money.
Affiliate marketing is no doubt the way of the future at making money. But how many of your friends would support you and say get their movie tickets through you? Unless you blast them with ads to what you do, they still might buy from your competitor. I have had this happen to me more than once and it always amazed as to why they did not go through me. So selling to people you do not know will be where to concentrate at, not people you know. Just ask them to take a look, they will give you leads, but won't buy from you. Something about selling to family just doesn't mix well.
But I think affiliate marketing is a silent way to make money. Look at adsense! It is a hush hush way to make money. I am sure Google takes a breath everyday as they know people will click on the ads. FaceBook is no different with their Pay Per Click program.
So if there is one thing I can say about my New Career is that blogging appears to be the hearth to any business on line these days. Especially one that is starting out. But what if you do not know what or how to go about it. Well that is where searching comes in and finding that free info from a reliable source.
I am in the process of writing such a manual on the First Steps to Blogging. I believe it will cover some of the things that I learned the hard way. All the information I have learned has been through many sources and most said the same things but each gave me a different pieces to the puzzle.
Well that is about it for today. I am working on my book and am practicing what i am putting into the book as I am creating another blog from scratch to sell a product I have made. It should be interesting since most books show you how to sell someone else's stuff. I will share latter.
