Ways To Make Money
June 9th, 2008 by CourtLet 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.
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.
I will say this - the key to making money with a blog is to get it to rank high in the search engines. I’ve created an email mini-course called “5 Days to Success With Keywords” that outlines what I do to create an excellent full-time income online. I also share some of the dumbest mistakes I made as a new internet marketer. You can save yourself months and years of wasted time by not doing the same dumb things I did.
Just fill out the form below and I’ll send you the first installment right away. And don’t worry - I’ll never sell or share your information with anyone. You’ll get nothing but high value content from me. Enjoy!

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.

I spent the last 20 or so years making all kinds of money but never had time to enjoy what I earned. I eventually over worked myself into a heart attack which changed my life.
I finally realized that I have a family that needs me, and wants me, most of the time.
Now I blog and just share my experiences, health, hobbies, and home.
I make money, not as much as I used to make, but now I have a life and even take off weekends. The money I make now grows every month and my day is pretty much done by noon each day. Of course I get up at 5am every day.
So much less stress and a whole lot more enjoyment.

Some say to stay away from the high competitive niche, but if you are creative on the way you market your product, you can still make a nice living. I also market ways of making cash online and the sale of my ebook have been higher that I projected. Just remember it takes time and patient to make a nice living online.

MMO is a very hard work, you must update your knowledge everyday.
Thanks for your intel.

You are right at that. “There are millions of ways to make money”. This is precisely what is confusing many people (referring to the internet.) Today, you find so much crappy stuff on the internet, especially affiliate programs, yet they still do carry on making money from newbies. And Clickbank does not even seem to care. I was into such a predicament too, when I used to be the newbie. I believed in everything these sites talked about and wished: “Wow! I really need to get myself into all of these!” As all websites, do really play mind games.
Luckily I am to the extend, immune to it now, seeing to it that I know that I should first do my research.

To make money money online is of the utter most important to “stay in the ever evolving game”. You MUST update your knowledge each day. It’s not true that you only work for 1 or 2 hours per day. That’s crap from dishonest people. You really need to take charge because the internet is growing everyday faster than ever before, and competition is getting very stiff.

If you are somewhat creative on the way you market your product, you can still make a nice living. I also market ways of making cash online and the sale of my ebook have been higher that I projected. Just remember it takes time and patient to make a nice living online. Don’t regret any second you spend here building on your online presence.

Thank you for sharing those ideas; I will do some additional brainstorming. I stared a baseball business 8 years ago and I never expected to have as much success as I do today. All because I had an idea and took action. Amazing how that works.

Of course it’s just great to make money without big efforts. In a case you work at home you don’t need to go to the office every day, get up early in the morning and wear boring suits. But the online business is not the panacea. Some people forget that if they wish to earn money they have to work hard, sometimes it seems so easy: sitting at home comfortably doing nothing. When you start your internet business you must do a lot at least for some period of time, which can lasts from some months to several years. Yes, you stay at home and you work when you wish without any strict schedule, but you spend hours at the computer, solving the problems and facing with new one. Making business online is a hard work and it’s not good for everyone.
