Lets make something clear. I speak based on an affiliate marketing and SEO background.

- the quickest way to learn about making money online is to search for case studies. Remeber everyone is ranking, so dont be weary about going to page 4 or 2 or 13.

- Making it online takes time and money. If you don't have either, get a job at Mc Donalds or start collecting cans.

- if you know nothing about marketing and making money online. You will not make money online. If you are new and this is your first month of interest. You will not make money for at least 9 months to a year. So don't get your hopes up.

- Learning how to make money online takes a shit load of time. As Randal Magwood was said in a thread around here. Once you've put your 10 thousand hours of learning, you'll start seeing the light.

- Allot of methods about making money online exist. You cannot have the perspective about making it online without knowing those methods. Unfortunately those methods are spread throughout the web. Knowing is the keyword, you don't have to implement those methods, you just have to understand them.

- The fundamentals stay the same where ever you go.
1. Find a problem or question
2. Find a product that solves that problem
3. Find the best way to show that product to people who have that problem

- terms are used very loosely in MMO

- allot of acronyms are used in MMO and all of the same acronyms mean different things. Here's an example PPV = Pay Per View and PPV = Paid Per View

- IF SOMETHING SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE. IT IS

- THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE MONEY ONLINE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T READING THEIR EMAILS FROM PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU ABOUT MAKING MONEY ONLINE.

- when you change yoru perspective from reading those emails to click their links to reading those emails to figure out their marketing strategy. you have moved forward.

- THE PEOPLE MAKING MONEY ONLINE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T BUYING COURSES AND ARE OUT BUYING SOFTWARE, TRAFFIC, CONTENT OR VA'S.

- People will not hand out their secrets, you have to find them. Why? basic economics, over saturation. Remember it's all about the fundamentals.

- If you are learning about making money from websites. You have to know HTML and CSS. I used the word "have to" as you should because the people who know it are much better than you.

- Move with the community. The educated ones are the wealthiest ones.

- your only goal in life should be to evolve. Sustain yourself, educate yourself.

- you don't need to go to school to make it online. Just buy a f*cking a book or download it at the pirate bay. Your success online based on your ability to understand the amount of effort and time it takes to do it. You won't truly realize this process until a year or 2 from now. Remember the fundamentals, it's the process of evolution.

- Every marketer has gone through the same thing you are going through now. Shiny object syndrome, investing time and money into the wrong things. If you are making those mistakes, then you are on the right path

- HOWEVER, THE GOAL IS TO REALIZE THIS AND STOP IMMEDIATELY AND START LEARNING ABOUT WHERE YOU SHOULD BE PUTTING YOUR ATTENTION.

- this often takes time. The secret is to get away from the computer, not think about making money online and start thinking about why you want to be successful. Often time's if not all the time, the answer to what you should do next to succeed online will come to you.

- REMEMBER, THINK OF SUCCESS AS HAVING A GIRLFRIEND OR BOYFRIEND. YOU ALWAYS NEED SPACE.

- learn the fundamentals of being a professional. Money management, time management.

    Can you expand on 'finding problems to solve'? Figuring out the right way to do that will help flesh this thread out a lot.

      So this is, as we both know, based on keyword research. Everything to me is based on affiliate marketing and SEO.

      - First ask a question. Think if a personal problem you have right now.

      1. Initial problem
      2. Pillar content
      3. Solution reference

      1. How to stop my dog from peeing inside
      2. How to tell if your dog needs to go to the bathroom
      3. The best way to potty train your dog

    Please don't get too sucked into the world of analytics and keyword research!

    There's more to it than a number Google spits out!

    Get into the forums within your niche and start asking people what they really want.

      Yes, I agree there is some credibility to what you say. I think diversifying and doing a combo of both can be beneficial.

      But as you infer you got to get out there and feel the " real pulse" of the Market

        Definitely, I've seen so many people, including myself once upon a time, build a business around a keyword that has a lot of searches, only to find a year later that it is almost impossible to monetize.

    I think this might be the most valuable point of insight in this thread. I know most newbies hate working, but how are you going to get money to advance your business quickly, and do paid advertising? You want to make money fast? Then advertise and put some money into your business.

    However, another point of emphasis is that, if you don't know how to make money without money... then you probably won't be able to make money - with money.
