I know you search for it, regularly; easy and quick ways to make money. Maybe you bought a bunch of e-books that promise to turn you, into a multi millionaire within a few weeks. Guess, who laughs all the way to the bank, while you stand outside crying? That’s right the person that sells you that kind of e-books!
Think about it, if you had found a way to get every imaginable key word or phrase at top of Google, or discovered how to turn any site into a cash machine, would you just hand out that technique for $49, $299 or $2000? Glad you thought, no! If you disclosed such techniques, they would lose it’s power quickly, when 1000′s of webmasters start doing them. Now I’m talking about those products that claims things like,
I will tell you something that changed my life… That will guaranteed, make you money as well… No actual work is needed … I have personally used it and got unbelievable results … This is the real deal and not a get rich quick scam … Hurry this offer will just last for …
Recognize these blurbs? Well, the next time you see them, put yourself in the position of the seller, if you knew that the seller promise, would you actually sell it or would you use it to take all the money yourself?
OK, let me tell you the real secrets of making money online, for free!
Rule #1 – Take the time you use to search for the holey grail of Internet marketing, it doesn’t exist and if it does, no one would sell it for $69, and add that time to your work schedule, instead.
Rule #2 – Create something that people actually wants. Before every project you should ask yourself, would you, your friends, family or co-workers actually use or buy the service? If the answer is no, then create something else. It isn’t harder than that, if you wouldn’t use or buy what you offer, what makes you think that anyone else would?!
Rule #3 – Be original, think out of the box, do the opposite. Honestly, does the world need another general directory, Flash Game Arcade, WP theme site or another e-book on how to make money online? If you think it does, then test it with rule #2 first.
Rule #4 – When you have decided what you want to do, work hard! There’s no shortcuts, you must put all your passion, energy and spare time, to work on your project, period.
Rule #5 – When you have a finished your product or site, learn the basics of SEO like, link building, social networking and off site marketing, to spread the buzz around. Or, hire a well recommended service for those tasks, if you doesn’t want to do them yourself. However, never buy from companies that claims that they could place your site at #1 in Google!
Rule #6 – Never put all eggs in one basket and that is especially true when it comes to search engines. Let’s say that 90% of your income is generated from Google, what if Google suddenly changed their system, and you didn’t get any more traffic from them? Horrible thought, isn’t?! Nevertheless, I have heard and seen horrific stuff of people going out of business over night, because of things like that. So make sure that you have several strong legs, to stand on, than you wouldn’t hurt so much if one was suddenly swooped away.
Rule #7 – Remember, nothing is impossible. If you believe in it and work hard for it, it will happen!
At last, let me share a story that tells a lot about how we function as humans and how you can take advantage of it. You know that airtight, sealed metal container, that you use for food, called a tin? That little gadget got patented around 1810. Nothing strange with that, however, the tin-opener wasn’t invented until somewhere around 1840.
That’s 30 years! Think about that one for a while…

I think one of the natural characteristics of people when they are trying something new is that they want to learn as much about it before they get started. I know I’ve been guilty of this.
I think one of the keys is that you have to decide and take action. With all the great info out there it is far too easy to get caught up in the learning instead of actually trying to make money.
Any suggestions for what you’ve found the best way to get yourself to take action?
My biggest motivation is, the process of creating my own content, knowing that what I create is unique and that something as simple as words, put together in a long string, can actually bring in money. I found that to be my biggest motivator.
