Teaching you how to make money online since 1999

You Can Earn Money on the Internet

When most people decide they want to earn money online they tend to think three things:

1) There’s some magic formula for doing it.
2) It’s going to be really easy.
3) They will get rich quickly.

If you are one of those people then I am telling you to please change your mindset right now or you aren’t going to get anywhere. None of those 3 things are true. In fact, they couldn’t be further from the truth!

Sit back and think about it for a second. If earning money on the internet really was that easy then everyone would do it and we would all be rich. But in reality it takes a lot of hard work, time, persistence, and patience just like building any other business. You have to learn a lot and figure out how to push through failures.

Sure, there are ways to earn money fast that you can do if you are in a bind and need some cash now. The problem is that most of them are unsustainable and usually not worth your time in the long run. Some of them can even get you in trouble if you are not careful. It’s the same as in the offline “real” world.

You can make money online. There’s no doubt about that. You might even become very wealthy from it. However, there are no secret magic formula’s, it’s not easy, and you won’t become rich over night.

Also, there’s no need to buy any products or services that supposedly teach you how to make money on the internet or even do it for you. There are more than enough blogs and forums that you can learn from for free (like this one). And I have never seen any product that lives up to promises of doing it for you, so you can definitely skip those. Yes, there are some tools and resources than can help you along the way but don’t fall for all the hype you see every day from people promoting products that are supposed to be the newest and coolest way to earn money.

Work hard. Keep learning. Find a knowledgeable mentor. Push through failures. Never give up. That’s how to build a successful online business.

Learn How to Make Money with these Blogs

There are more than enough blogs out there claiming to teach you how to make money but a large percentage of them don’t live up to that claim. Most of them post crap that doesn’t really teach anything. However, there are a few gems on the internet who really will teach you how to make money if you listen to what they say.

Below I have listed ten make money online blogs that I am subscribed to via my Google RSS feed reader. The only reason I stay subscribed to them is because they cut through all the crap and actually give useful information that teaches their readers how to earn money online, and sometimes even offline.

So, here’s the top 10 make money online blogs that I recommend, in no particular order:

1) Okay so I might have cheated a little bit by adding this make money online blog to the list because I am a co-owner of it. But we do offer a lot of great advice there so it deserves to be on the list. Not to mention, it’s one of the top ranked make money blogs on the internet so that has to count for something. Hope to see you there!

2) Grizzly Brears is a master at making money on the internet and he teaches others how to do it at his make money for beginners blog. I’ve learned a LOT from this blog and consider Griz to be one of my main mentors as well as a friend.

3) Court Tuttle is another person I have learned a great deal from about how to make money online and I consider him to be another one of my mentors. He has a very popular internet marketing blog and also co-owns the keyword academy with Mark Butler. They also have a coaching program that I highly recommend.

4) If you want to learn how to make money online with SEO then Ben is definitely someone to follow. He doesn’t post often but when he does writes very long posts filled with a ton of incredibly useful information. You’ll learn a lot from this blog and if you do what he says you will earn money online.

5) Allyn Hane truly is the “master of his own domain” at blogger illustrated. He has a personality that was born for being a video blogger and he knows his stuff. You’ll learn a lot of tips from his blog that will help you make money online and you’ll be entertained at the same time.

6) Jason Pereira is “The University Kid” who also teaches how to make money at home on his online business blog. He’s an entrepreneur who started his blog while he was still in school. Now he is a full time internet marketer who gives very useful money making information on his blog.

7) If you want to earn online cash your go to man is Frank Carr. His blog is full of great advice that will help you learn how to make money online. He’s also the creator of some products that are very helpful for internet marketers to save time and earn money.

8) Another person who teaches how to make money the honest way is Terry Didcott. He’s an internet marketing expert who also happens to be a great guy and one of my closest online business friends. He has no problem telling it like it is and he knows what he is talking about.

9) I bet you never thought a wookie named Chewie could teach you how to make money online, or did ya? Ok so, there is a real person behind the “whatawookie” blog but I am not going to reveal his true identity. Sorry to disappoint you if you really thought it was a wookie. Either way there’s still a lot of great online money making information on this blog.

10) Last but not least, we certainly can’t forget about the controversial blogger, Lis Sowerbutts, who holds nothing back as she teaches you how to earn passive income online. There’s no doubt that you will find something worth reading at this blog as Lis likes to stir things up while she teaches how to earn money online.

Some of the internet marketers who run the above blogs are well known and some are not, but none of them are what people typically call “A-List” bloggers. And there’s a good reason for that… Most of the time those A-list bloggers don’t post content on their blogs that is actually useful for learning how to make money! Yes, every once in a while they come out with a golden nugget of information, but most of the time they just post fluff and hype that doesn’t really teach you anything, or re-hashed stuff that has been posted a thousand times before on various blogs. That’s not the case with the blogs listed above. Their posts are very useful. No, not every single one of their posts are amazing, but in general they very much are.

If you want to learn how to make money — and I assume you do if you are reading this right now — then you need to read the blogs listed above on a regular basis. And actually take action on what you learn. You can’t earn money just by reading blogs; you have to put the information into action. Well, they should keep you busy for a while so I will let you go for now.

Oh and don’t forget to also come back to this blog. It’s a great resource for you to learn how to make money. Tell your buddies about it too!

——————————————————–

I had a few thoughts about new blogs I would add to the list here. I know that I spend too much time readings MMO blogs if anything, but hey, sometimes it’s as much about having fun as making money.

1) Paul’s Earn Money online blog is a new blog that is just starting up and showing some real potential. A lot of time these new blogs can be great to follow for newer people to the game because they go back and explain everything from the most basic concepts.

The Boring Way to Make Money Online

You are here reading this right now because you want to learn how to make money online. That’s great! I hope you come back often and tell your friends about us. Although, you might not like what I am about to say…

The best way to make money online also happens to be incredibly boring and tedious at times.

Yep, that’s right, nothing glamorous about it and you certainly won’t get famous doing it. But it works and works very well. That’s all that matters!

So, what is this wonderful yet boring way to make money online?

It goes a little something like this…

1) Find a niche – Do keyword research until you find a niche worth building a website about. This has to be one that doesn’t have too much competition so you can actually rank highly on search engines for it without spending years trying. It also needs to have a good amount of profit potential. That basically means enough people searching for the keywords who are going to spend money.

2) Build a website – Once you have found your niche it’s time to build a website. There are a few different types of sites you can build and the type you choose will depend on what your niche is targeting. The most common are blogs and static sites, but there are others.

3) Write content – You need to get a good base of content on your site right away. Usually somewhere around 10 posts/pages are sufficient to get you started. These can typically be written within a few hours depending on how much knowledge you have of the niche or how much research you need to do. But adding fresh quality content is an ongoing thing that will need to be done periodically for as long as you have the site.

4) Get backlinks – This is very important. Each of the steps above is mostly just to lay the foundation so you can start building backlinks. There are many different ways to get the best backlinks possible and it has been covered enough here on this blog and on many others, so I won’t get into it right now. Quick tip: Backlinks from people linking to you naturally are the best and to get those you need high quality content.

5) Rinse and repeat – Do it all over again with another site and keep doing it. Just remember that high quality content is always needed.

Here’s a little diagram to help you visualize the steps (courtesy of the keyword academy)…

Earn Money

There’s nothing fancy or glorious about those 5 steps and they can be quite boring at times, yet that is the best way to make money online. You can cash in on a virtually unlimited supply of niches and the income keeps adding up until you are really raking it in.

The best part about it is that once the initial work has been done with each site, you can move on to the next and continue to earn money from it with very little extra work. The search engine traffic keeps coming in every day like clockwork and you keep earning every day without do any extra work on the site. You just keep building your online empire and your income keeps increasing. That’s what you call a residual income!

Now, in order to do this, you need to quit doing all the “fun” stuff that isn’t earning you any money. Stop trying to figure out how to make money with Twitter. Stop sitting on Facebook all day. Stop worry about how many times your posts make the front page of Reddit. Stop hitting all the social sites every day. Stop reading every blog post you come across trying to find the next big thing that is going to make you rich. Stop focusing on building a bunch of RSS subscribers for your blog. Stop reading email and forums all day so you don’t miss something. Stop buying into all the hype of big name bloggers and internet marketing gurus. Stop joining membership sites and purchasing every new make money online system or product. Stop… Stop… Stop!

Okay, I think you get my point. None of that is really helping you build your internet business and actually make money for you. Yes, some of it does help a little and some of it is entertaining, but it’s mostly a waste of your time! No problem taking a little time out of your day for some of those things as a sort of break. But don’t get sucked in or you’ll end up wasting away your day without doing anything really productive. Your days might be a little more lonely and boring but your bank account will thank you.

Personally I would rather be a little bored sitting at my home computer working when I want, with a bank account full of money and enjoying my life, than trying to become the next big A-list blogger, having fun with social media sites, but broke as hell and going about it all wrong. Or worse, slaving away at a regular job that I hate and barely getting by on the money I earn. How about you? You do actually want to make money, don’t you? Then listen to what I am saying here!

By the way, this 5 step system is the same one that Court and Mark over at The Keyword Academy teach as well as what Griz teaches at his free make money online site. They are masters at earning money online and they are also great at teaching others how to do it.

That’s about all there is to say about it. Close the social sites and A-list blogs right now and start using this system so you can really start making money online. You’ll be glad you did.
