When I first started out wanting to earn money online, it was with a naivete I didn’t know I had. I believed that it should be pretty straight forward and simple. I know it would not be easy but I thought it was simple enough. Heck, if a lot of others who could hardly write well are making money through blogging, I was certain I could do the same. Or so I thought.
Dang, was I wrong. To earn money online takes a lot of determination, will power and hard work. On top of that, you need skills and knowledge. Going about it blindly will land you at a dead end. Also, you will need to be full of humility. This means, admit that you know nothing and pretty soon, you will learn a lot more than thinking you know everything and end up with nothing!
So, many people do fall for the making money online trap thinking it is simple, easy and a total breeze and after several months or so, they become disillusioned. Well, sure, you can earn a few fast bucks online but you can’t strike it rich and become a millionaire overnight. However, a lot of people do not see that. They fall for all the scams out there promising them riches within days. All they need to do is to pay $49.90 or $99 or some ridiculous amount of money. And that will be the last they ever see of the money with no riches coming their way.
How do you differentiate an earn money online trap from a real earn money online venture? Simple. A trap promises you the sky and instant riches while the real deal does not. It is really pretty easy. Money does not fall out of the sky. To earn an income online, you need to work at it just like any regular job or business you get into. Nothing is easy. Becoming a millionaire overnight is impossible…unless, of course, you strike the lottery or you suddenly inherited the amount from a millionaire relative. But what are the odds of that,eh?
If you are really serious about earning money online or through blogging, then be diligent. Learn about niche sites. Learn about keywords. Learn about SEO. Learn about keyword research and keyword targeting. Learn about link-building. Learn about backlinks and pageranks. Learn, learn, learn. There are plenty of materials out there for you to learn (and one of them is The Keyword Academy) so grab all the information out there and learn. Don’t think you know everything because you don’t. Unless you are earning thousands a month from blogging already, then you know nothing at all about making money online!

I agree
Earning honest money
It is the hard way
No short cut to happiness
It has to be sweat and tears
Trials, flops, rises up, flops then free
I have so much time
Yet I don’t try earning my keeps
In the web
I have read many people got it
These people now sell
How they make money on the web
The seminars and the folks there
Ears sharp eyes glow
Listening to the money talk
I am my own millionaire
Sitting and sipping, watching movies
Letting my time go
The best part I don’t have to decide
I am on my own
Living free
Hope you get your dreams
Don’t give it up as you try
If you don’t cry, you don’t make it
Persistence and enthusiasm
The rewards will come
When you least expect
Well, that’s just it…most ppl I’ve tried to show this IM/MMO thing to don’t seem to want to take the time to learn…they usually want things handed to them w/o any real work
