So what are the vitally important steps one needs to make money online? Well the very first and crucial aspect to appreciate is that if you typed the phrase make money on the internet into a search engine—woweee—are you late to the party buddy!

In other words accept that you are a gatecrasher in an already overly crowded party! Okay now with that behind us let’s see how you can go about even your odds in this particular game.

So here are the things you will need to make money on the internet:

Well here’s the good news first! You can get your very own free web presence (well almost) and still make money online. Now that caveat of “almost” means that there are a few strings attached to having a free web presence; namely that you have to put up with Ads from the people who so kindly donated the “free web presence” out of the goodness of their hearts.

Okay you need not be a genius to figure out that having somebody else’s Ads liberally sprinkled throughout your sales message is certainly going to affect your bottom line by distracting your potential buyers.

But truth be told not all free web presences will suffocate your internet business ventures and aspirations with such irritating Ads. Examples of these relatively go-easy free web presences include:

·         Blogger

·         WordPress (not the self-hosted but the one found at wordpress.com)

·         Squidoo

To mention but a few of the available free web presence options out there. However even though these free web presence hosts may not plaster your online efforts with unsolicited advertising they do have other restrictions which include 1) The type of content you may host 2) The type of Ads you may run etc.

But this article is not per se about free web presences so if you decide to choose that route then it is up to you to do your due diligence to determine the pros and cons of such an approach!

Huh? Yah I know that made you do a double take! It took me by surprise too but it actually makes a lot of sense. Unless you are a new comer who is very savvy about internet marketing then it is not in your interest to pretend to be an expert in the game.

Why?

Because most of your target audience probably know more about making money online than you do!

You see here’s the thing, most of the people buying those ubiquitous how to make money online courses and ebooks are internet business newbies (and the not so new) who are desperate to find that elusive holy grail product that will actually show them how to make bucket loads of cash with minimal to no effort at all!

Such a product generally doesn’t exist but then that’s not the point of this article either. But the point I’m trying to get across here is that those folks to whom you’re trying to peddle your apparently brand new, revolutionary make money online course know it for the fake that it is!

Why?

Because they’ve been there, done that and also as I previously mentioned…they know more than you!

So what about the people who are completely new to the whole internet business thing, how do you get your grubby hands on such valuable web traffic?

Well there’s your next big hurdle. You won’t be able to get organic web traffic from the search engines for a very long time because it just doesn’t happen that way anymore (search engines have algorithms to determine and control the ascent of new websites or blogs up their indexes).

And neither will you be able to purchase such desirable web traffic because to get the exposure that you need will require you to fork over a fortune just to be on a competitive footing with the big players who can afford to pay $7.00 per click!

So where exactly does that leave you huh? How can you actually make money on the internet?

Well make sure to tune in to get finishing notes on this intriguing topic!
