Let me get this out of the way - there are millions of ways to make money. The issue for me has always been finding ways to make money that will give you the lifestyle you want.

Some Methods For Making Money Aren’t Worth It

I had a really high paying job that also demanded my entire life and I wasn’t happy at all. How is money fun when you don’t have time to do anything with it?

This article isn’t going to talk about every method for making money under the sun. Instead, I’m going to focus on ways to make money that actually can provide you with a decent lifestyle.

Make Money Blogging

Blogging isn’t easy - at first… The first 8 months I had my blog I didn’t make much at all. A few hundred dollars per month isn’t exactly what I would consider to be a decent income. 16 months later Court’s Internet Marketing School (this blog) produces over $20,000 in income per month.

One of the money-making methods I’m best known for is called ‘Keyword Sniping’. I coined the term and I wrote a series of articles on this blog introducing the concept. The method has become so popular that I’ve summarized it in a free report called “Introduction to Keyword Sniping: Your Shortest Path to $1,000 Per Month Online”. If you’re really serious about getting to your first significant monthly internet income, I strongly encourage you to download and study the report. Just fill out easy form below (and don’t worry - I’ll never share or sell your information. It’s completely safe with me).

Here’s the thing about making money blogging - you have to be committed to the long term. The best way to go about this is keeping your real job so that there isn’t any pressure. That way you just focus on growing your site without using it to pay the bills.

Selling Services Online

One of the most ridiculously lucrative ways to make money is by selling your personal services online. I personally sell internet marketing and SEO consulting with my blog and that’s one of the reasons I can produce so much income with it.

No matter who you are, you probably have expertise in some area. You may be really good around the house, you may understand personal finance, you may be a lawyer, you may understand real estate, or have some other skill. By using the internet, you can establish yourself as a person of influence and that influence will be worth great money, as long as you can present yourself as a solid option as a consultant.

If you don’t feel like you have a skill right now that can translate, by all means get one!! Learn a lot about something and get going with your business. For example, every day people are searching for information about cell phones because they don’t know which one to buy. You could learn a lot about the phones and offer a service to help people select the right phone. You will of course then sell the phone to them, earning to commissions.

Set Up An Offline Business

I, of course, don’t love this option because I love the leverage of the internet. I have had clients in Russia, England, Poland, Australia, the U.S., Canada, India, and Japan. The internet gives me a worldwide reach and that’s why I can do really well without ever leaving my own home. I don’t even have an office and that rules.

Where most people go wrong is that they think they need a brand new idea to start a business. The truth is, there are plenty of ways to make money that people are already doing. You can duplicate an idea and still do amazingly well.

Instead of continuing to search for ways to make money, I personally would think about what you’re the best at. Get going on setting up your business and dream big.
