The big question that everyone wants to know is  'can you really make money online'? Well, the answer is

Yes. In fact there are lots of ways and people who do!

It’s claimed that making money online means you can write your own pay cheque and make as much or as little money as you want but the truth is unless you know how, and have someone to teach how to make money online you will find that it's not as easy as it is for some people.

Like most things, making money online continues to promise vast riches, and a dream lifestyle.

Don’t get me wrong it's all very possible but what really annoys me are the people who take advantage of this opportunity by making false promises and conning people out of money.

Unless you know what to look out for these scams will continue to be a complete waste of time. To help you amke the right decisions I have listed below the facts about the best ways to make money online that you should be aware of once and for all.

Fact about making money online Any one can make money online as long as you put your mind to it. Think about this for a minute...

In its most simple form all you have to do is sell something on eBay! Sell ten more items and the profits start to mount up. Learn how to do it without having to stock any products and you can soon see how easy it can be.

If you want to learn how to make money online as a full time career, working from home, then making money online can make you a lot of money.

More Facts About Making Money Online

As I said above, making money online, ( a lot of money) does take time, effort and persistence. To earn say a six or even a seven-figure income does not happen over night and it certainly will not happen with out the right training.

Bear in mind that making money online is in effect a business, a home business that needs to be treated like a business rather than a hobby.

The biggest mistake people make is that they jump from one making money idea to the next instead of concentrating on building one good online business. It takes time to build a business in the same way it takes time to attract new customers into a new shop.

Then of course there is the obvious... don’t give up just because you didn’t make money in your first month. 

Annother Fact about making money online

The only time you wouldn't have to work for money is if you won the Lottery. But to make money online you have to work for your money to get started.

However, if you can find a mentor, someone who operates and teaches other people how to make money online then a lot of the initial hard work will have already been done for you, saving you time and money, otherwise you will have to set up a website and start creating an online presence for yourself.

This can be done by writing articles and communicating with other people on social media networking sites to get the ball rolling. Then of course you will need to consider other forms of advertising. 

In the same way as building a new house you need to start from the foundations and build your way up. Don’t think you can make money online any other way unless you have a lot of spare cash to start with.
Fact about making money online

Starting any new business to make money means you need to invest some money in your business venture to help you get started. It's impossible to do so any other way.

Even if it means you having to buy stationary, it's money you need to get started. If you have the right mindset and understand from the outset that some money is needed to get started then you're half way there.

To help speed up the process of making money online and developing your new small online business you can find other people to do some of the work for you. Outsourcing as it is called, does cost money but can create far quicker results.

Unless you are very, very serious about your new business venture and making it successful do not borrow large amounts money to start with until you have a good business plan and structure in place.


To be able to start making money online you need to set up a 'so call shop window', in other words your own website so people can visit and see what you’re all about.

It doesn’t have to be an all singing and dancing website, just something that relays a message and creates the interest for people to be confident in you and what you are offering them.

We all need customers to start making money online. In the old days we used to collect names and addresses of customers and send out mailers to them with special offers to create sales and make money.

These days gathering this sort of information is referred to as ‘a list’, a list of contacts i.e. customers who provide their contact and email details to enable you to send them information about you and your services.

Building a list takes time.

Done correctly it will eventually transform your business and make you money as long as you communicate with your list on a regular and professional basis to create a loyal following.


Communication is paramount and one way to be able to do so with your customers, even when you’re out of the office or away from your home business, is to set up what is referred to as Auto Responders.

It is a way of being able to send automatic messages to all of your customers in one go or to send them a message as soon as they provide you with their contact details. Let’s say for example you wanted to promote a ‘sale’; you could send them an auto responder message to promote your offer.

The following reasons illustrate the most common reasons why 96% of people fail trying to make money online.

The first is that they give up to easily.

The second is that they don’t really know what to do or who can help them which is why I highly recommend finding and working with someone who will help you from the outset.

The third is that people jump around from one opportunity to the next without ever really getting started and the forth is whereby people think that they shouldn’t have to do much work to make money to begin with (or couldn’t really be bothered).

Then of course there are, the ‘fly by night opportunities’ and ‘scams’ making people believe that making money online is so easy or impossible to start with so why even bother. But the reality is there are genuine ways to make money online.

When it comes to creating a successful online business on the Internet there are many exciting things to learn. Many of the individuals I get to speak with complain that they get overwhelmed, confused and caught up in ‘information overload’ whilst trying learn how to make money online.

This is a classic problem. There is so much information available, but what you learn today may change tomorrow. However, the basic principles are all you should concentrate on to begin with.

You should spend 80% of your time promoting your online business to create income and 20% on learning how to make your online business a successful one. Having a mentor or someone who can teach you how it's done will help prevent confusion and frustration.

Remember, having fun and enjoying life is the best reward anyone could possibly wish for. Making money can be great fun but if you try to reinvent the wheel it can end up becoming very frustrating.

This has to be one of the most important facts to consider towards making money online. ‘Knowing what online business opportunity is right for you and whether you will get all of the right help, support and training needed to help you along the way’.
