Can I Make Money Online?

If that’s a question you’re asking yourself right now then I think I have an answer for you, but it may not be what you want to hear. Making money online is a way of life for a lot of people, many working from home and some running fulltime online businesses with incredible success.

If you’re wondering, Can I make money online? then yes you can. But how much you can make and how long it’s going to take you are questions you may have to wrestle with as well. For a lot of new internet marketers (a term I’m going to use for people making money online) there is a very steep learning curve – one that not only requires the gaining of a lot of knowledge by study, but also experience that can only be gained through action and experimentation, often very frustrating experimentation.

My advice to you would be to try to set some very basic goals to start out with, particularly goals that don’t rely on you actually making any money.

For instance, I’d recommend you set yourself a goal to learn how to set up a wordpress blog and commit to posting to it every day for 3 months. If you need help here I’ve written about some free wordpress video tutorials that can get you started. Learning about blogging is a fantastic introduction to web publishing and will give you experience in a lot of aspects of being able to make money online.

From blogging you’ll learn the importance of writing useful, unique content and you’ll get an idea of how to track your visitors use of your site and interract with them. Being a successful internet marketer is 20% technical skill (you can make a lot of money online without understanding a lot about web programming and the ins-and-outs of computers) and 80% marketing skill. You need to know what people are searching for online in terms of things that they have as problems and need solutions for. Targeting these niches in particular and solving the problems people struggle with is where the real money is.

So… Can I make money online? Of course. But don’t make it your primary goal from the beginning. Learn the ropes and take making money online one step at a time.
