Why do you want to make money online? Are you in dire straights and need cash urgently; is it to make some extra money to supplement your income, or are you in it for the long haul and do you want to create a business?
If you need to make some money fast and you have no established internet presence there are probably faster, easier and more reliable ways to make money than the Internet.
Don't be fooled by the "just look over my shoulder and do what I do," products that seem to be everywhere at the moment. It's a very nice dream but would you consider building a house that way? How about major repairs to your car? It basically cannot be done under normal circumstances. Trust me, you will end up hopping from one product to the next shelling out money and feeling like a failure when it is really the idea that is flawed not you.
Making money online is much more about you than any product, idea or mentor. What do you bring to the table? What skills, interests, talents or knowledge do you have that you could use to make you money online? The Internet doesn't exist in a vacuum. Quite the contrary - the Internet is a very complex web and if you want to make money in it you need to find places where you can fit.
What are your strengths and weaknesses? Do you know your way around the Internet pretty well? Can you write? How is your English? Can you sell? Are you cute? Do you have a major interest that you could leverage; for example World of Warcraft, golf or cycling? How much time do you have to devote to it? How much money do you have to invest in it?
The answers you come up with should help you see a direction you should take and some places to start; for example if you're great with video You Tube would be a good place to start, if you love golf you could promote some golfing products.
Warning: To make good solid long-term income online you need most, if not all the following skills:-
-building and maintaining blogs or websites;
-search engine optimisation;
-quality content writing;
-copywriting;
-social media marketing;
-video creation;
-list creation and management;
-time management.
Now, how fast is fast for you - by half-past-six this evening, a few days, a month, maybe six months? Unless you already have a number of the skills you'll need under your belt and a bucket load of spare time your road to success is going to occur over several months rather than hours, days or even weeks.
You can pick up these skills gradually over time from a variety of places. If you want to speed up the process you can subscribe to a membership site that specialises in teaching you all the skills you'll need in one place and creates a community around you for support and networking.
