How Do You Honestly Make Money Online

There is a great Steve Martin routine entitled, How to be a Millionaire and Never pay Taxes. It starts out like this: Step 1, get a million dollars, Step 2……

You will find alot of this in todays marketing world. Whether you have to first get a million dollars, or find a topic you truly enjoy, or have unconditional love for all mankind, when we get to this point in the training we usually hit a big wall called “How Do I Do That?”

Well the truth is no one knows how to do that for you. It does not mean that the training is no good, it just means that every one is different with different goals and different hangups. But rest assured, the information is out there. The only thing stopping you from being wealthy is you.

You see, people in general have a skewed vision about what being wealthy means. They imagine that when they win the lotto it will be constant party on the beach and flying around in the G5 to see the president. What they don’t realize is that wealthy people are busy. They typically work harder and longer than average to manage and maintain their wealth. In fact, some are focused on it so much that when it is taken away from them (as in a stock market crash) they feel they have no option but to commit suicide.

Most people will join a program only to learn that they have to work to earn money. So they quit and find another program where the cycle repeats. Unfortunately these people are the source of income for many internet gurus.

Here are two things to remember:

You receive money by providing value to others

The people who made the most money during the gold rush were the ones selling the shovels
If you want to be paid, provide something of value to others. Whether that thing of value is your opinion, someone else’s product, or the latest iphone application (those tower defense games are like crack) you must give something to get anything in return. Give people the tools they need to get ahead in the world and you will be a god among men (and women too of course)
Pay attention to the subtle teaching of the net.

There are lessons and then there are lessons. When you join a mailing list pay attention to the mailings not for what they say but for what they are. Think about why the list owner sent that mail out. Do you see it as a blatant attempt to get affiliate earnings or does it truly provide the list members some value?

Are you still reading this? If you have not been scared away yet then there may be some hope in your future.

As a bonus to you, I am going to tell you the real secret to wealth: Try everything.
Yup, that is it. Try everything. Join all the lists, spend as much money as you can learning as much as you can. When you have filled your head with teachings from the net you will distil your true calling. Try everything. Many things you come across and spend good money on will be total crap. That is ok, call it training. It may be crap, but sometimes you have to step in alot of crap to recognize it for what it is. Try everything.

When you get to the point that you are getting hundreds of emails a day and are completely overloaded a small light will begin to glow. You will begin to realize the right and wrong way of doing things. Alot of things you read will make more sense. Now you can unsubscribe from the garbage lists and purge your world of the useless things. You will start focusing on what you truly want to do, something you are passionate about.


I’m sorry to say you can’t jump to the end of the journey. Just as many lotto winners spend more than they win and are broke within a year, if you try to go too fast you will not be prepared and will most likely fail.

Make some progress every day and you will achieve your goal, it is inevitable.
