About Making Money Online and The Opportunities

Making Money Online is divided basically into two very large groups, the people that have a site (website, blog, webpages) and the people that don't, it's not even about or segmented according to people that have their own products, brand, services and people that don't, because online you don't have to have your own product, you don't need to have a brand, you don't need to provide your own services, although you can easily create each one of those things I just mentioned. The people that do not have a site should try to get one. I believe that owning your own site or your own network of sites is the best way to make money online, it's the best way if you want to make some serious money.

Usually internet users feel like they can earn money online at some point of their online experience, they just type in "Make Money Online" or "Work from home", or something like that and they are bombarded with a lot of information, most of the information that they will get is promotion for scams. When people start out venturing on the internet for money they start searching for the easiest and fastest ways to make money online, they also try to choose opportunities that are not risky, usually free opportunities, you know places or sites where they can make money without investing a single dime. Of course there is another group of people that has a more adventurous spirit, and they are willing to spend some money without taking the time to do some real research and read some real good blogs that give them serious advice. This group of people is the people that fall for almost every scam on the internet; they are the ones who make the so called guru's a lot of money.

Let's imagine a scenario here for a moment, let's say you don't fall for any scams because you really like to play it safe. So you start looking for opportunities that will allow you to earn some money without investing, so you go and search for free money making opportunities and you receive a lot of feedback on things that sound amazing, you think to yourself "oh my god" get paid to click on ads, get paid to read emails, get paid to surf, get paid to take surveys, complete offers and get paid, get paid to shop, get paid to type, perform data entry jobs, etc. Then you get the idea that making money online is very easy and that it can be done fast too.

So these online money making newbie’s join every single one of these so called opportunities and find out that things are not as wonderful as they seemed, they find out that they have to waste a lot of time to earn a few cents. When this scenario is played in the real life, this is what happens, they quit and they think that making money online is something impossible and they plan to focus on real life business opportunities. Others are a little bit more stubborn, and decide to take it a little bit further. So they do some more research, read a few real blogs and they find out about "Blogging" or "Website Building" and the easiness involved to make money with these two things, which are basically the same, the only difference is that a blog is constantly updated and a website is usually a more static site with a lot less content and lot less updating, although tendencies are that websites have blogs in their structure because they know how they can use the leverage of blogs to make more money for their businesses. And usually at that moment that they find out about blogging they find out about adsense, and at this point they really start to freak out when they think about getting paid for clicks, and they feel like they just have to go out there and get themselves a blog to start making some money, because everyone feels like they have something very interesting to say. And even if they did have something interesting to say that's like 30% of the work that has to be done to make money with adsense, but don't get discouraged I’m going to show you how to make real money with adsense or any other pay per click opportunity, pay per impression, pay per lead, pay per sale, we are going to learn how to really make money online.

When people find out about blogging and website building, more specifically blogging because at the beginning of these online business ventures people think that making a website is something very complicated. They get very excited with blogs, because they think that blogging is just about writing anything and placing adsense ads on their blogs.

They go out there and start to do some research about blogging and about how they could start their own blog. So they find out about things like typepad, wordpress.org and many blogging software’s or blogging services that require having your own hosting account, buying domains, setting up databases, using ftp file transfer managers like filezilla and stuff like that, and that sounds really complicated for a beginner. They also find out about free blogging platforms like blogspot and wordpress.com, and after doing some reading and doing some more research they find out that blogger.com is the best way to go, why? Because they can use adsense on blogger blogs, in fact it is very easy to place adsense ads on blogspot blogs, because you just have to make a few clicks, you just click on gadgets, you click on the dollar sign button and you place your adsense code wherever you want. If you do not have a code they will send you to the place where you can apply for the adsense program and then after being accepted you will receive your code. Being accepted is very easy you just need a valid URL, the free blog you just made will do.

During this period beginners also find out about affiliate marketing, pay per lead generation, maybe they find out about in text advertising as well, from companies like kontera, infolinks or vibrant media as ways to monetize their blogs. Things sure look great, the bad thing about all of this is that they just have done half of the work now they have to find out how to make money with those things from their blogs. So the find out that they need "Traffic", no traffic no money. So they get out there an try to find out how to get traffic to their sites and they discover things like SEO to drive traffic from the search engines for free, targeted organic traffic that will make them money, and they also find out about paid targeted traffic from the search engines. To pay for traffic you have to purchase services from companies like Adwords, Google Adwords is the biggest company and probably the most effective to get you website traffic, but it can be a very expensive deal. Traffic coming from Adwords is targeted traffic as well, and targeted traffic is most likely to convert, it is the easiest type of traffic to monetize.

So beginners start creating content, but as I’ve said before all of this information takes a lot of time to learn, it requires a lot of testing, trial and error, and a lot of research. At this point they have already spent a lot of months and still no money has been made, so they do some more research and find out about more things like on page seo, off page seo, social networks, link building, article directory submissions, keywords, niches, and the list goes on. So they don't get the results that they were looking for, they end up wasting a lot of time, and they don't make money. When I say "they" I’m referring to beginners that want to earn money online, aspiring internet marketers.

So my advice to all of these beginners, before you feel frustrated and you feel that you want to quit, don't.
