Making Money Online -The Easy Way

By Greg Smithers

A select few have learnt how to make a great deal of money from the Internet. This is because the Internet allows you to reach a global audience and they have tapped into this and leveraged their efforts.

However, many more people have found Internet marketing to be a frustrating experience. They know that riches are there to be found, but they struggle to make even a modest income.

Many people actually lose money in their efforts to generate online income. Advertising costs, and the costs of training can be greater than the income generated.

One of the biggest mistakes is to think that you will get rich quickly from one technique, or one product. This can happen, but it is the exception rather than the rule. Having a goal of reaching $100,000 or more a year is a reasonable goal. However, having a goal of reaching $100,000 in one step is not as reasonable.

There are many strategies for developing passive income on the Internet. A large income can be derived from the use of multiple sources of smaller amounts of passive income.

It is easy, for example, to generate five dollars a day, using the Internet. While this doesn't seem very much it equates to an annual income of $1825. This in turn doesn't seem like much, but if you can develop 100 such sources you can earn $500 a day generating an annual income of $182,500.

Of course, this strategy could lead to another common mistake. Many new (and not so new), Internet marketers lack focus and consistency. They follow a range of gurus and experiment with a wide variety of techniques in the search for the one elusive method that might allow them to quit their day job.

Unfortunately, if you work on 10 different jobs at the same time, it can lead to them receiving only 10% of the effort each. An alternative is to work on one job at the time with 100% effort and bringing it to completion quickly. Think of the reward, if you were able to implement one new $5 a day strategy each week. At the end of your first year, you would have around 50 sources generating an annual income of $91,250.

You may be lucky enough to generate that one great idea, like a 'Rubik's Cube', that leads to a fortune. However, a viable alternative is to work on small achievable steps that can eventually lead to a big income.
