    There isnt such thing as make money fast. It all takes time and effort.

    1. Learn basics, read.
    2. Try affiliate marketing and article marketing. Its free and you get the idea. Try blogs. Make new friends.
    3. Learn email marketing, build your list
    4. Learn product creation
    5. Research and create your own product.
    6 Launch your product.

    Repeat 3-6.

    Oh ye...never assume anything, always RESEARCH. Do this, and you will succeed. Skip this, and 99% you WILL NOT succeed.

      Cheers Margo...that's a good suggestion and I understand RESEARCH is one of the most important ingredient to success...although, I was after something specific....a STRATEGY that worked which is easy, efficient and effective...if you know what I mean?

      Nothing worth having is quick and easy. But this does work if you stay with it.

    First let me point something out to all those who are just starting out. There is no such thing as quick and easy ways to make money for any business. Yes the internet is a easy way to make money but you have to put in alot of work in order to make your business profitable. Unlike a brick and mortar business where you simple set up a shop and people can stroll in off the street with out know what it is you actually have to offer.

    You need need to make it so that people know you exist and if you go about it the wrong way they never will. Which inturn sets you up to go back to that 60 hour a week dead end job. So with that being said you need to be willing to put in work.

    You can not simply buy a domain and build a page and hope that people will just find it. You need to spend hours upon weeks upon months promoting the site before anyone even knows it is there. Now on the other hand you could build your site from a new domain and have a few hundred visitors in the first few hours if in fact you wanted to spend a fortune on ppc campaigns but I do not recommend this for a newbe. You first need to see if the site/page will even convert before you start paying for traffic. There for put out as many articles, videos, rss feeds and others just to see if the page/site will even convert for say 1-200. If it will not then head back to the drawing board and start again.

      Thx Pete, so what you're suggesting is, build a website (around your passion) and drive traffic to it so that people 'know' you exist, right?...what monetization methods would you suggest?

      ...if you don't mind me asking which ONE strategy that worked for you the best?

        ...if you don't mind me asking which ONE strategy that worked for you the best?
        First what works for me may not work for you. I have personally done all methods. I have struck out entirely on some and banked well on others. The one that has worked the best for me though is adsense and clickbank affiliate review sites. I promote 3 products from the sales page then build traffic with original content on my blog. Which gives me the ability to promote affiliate products within the articles I produce and gain revenue from adsense at the same time. However I also have each of my blogs set up so that they have an amazon store which brings in another stream of income. So with one site I have a minimum of 3 streams of income. However I take it even further and promote cpa offers with banners. The way i keep the bounce rate down on all of these sites is because for every thing they click besides the adsense ads they open up the other sites in a new window. There for once they have taken action on my other products I have another chance to get more income from that one visitor. Now mind you I have neglected the entire email marketing aspect however I can add that in at any time with a simple slide down. The only reason I do not focus on promoting with email marketing for these sites is because the niches are very highly targeted and would not beable to promote other products to them once they have purchased the product I am offering them through my site.

    yeah it works I'll use it sometimes to get free money for advertising I just don't do the "trial" ones. Because you have to use a credit card and order to get the payment but you won't be charged if you cancel before the "trial" is over but thats just a hassel. Stick to the free ones and they also have an affiliate program so if you refer people you can earn off what they do.

    P.s. open a new email, thats the only catch... they are going to send you ads for each survey you do so you'll get that dollar for the 5 minute survey but then you'll get weekly ads, so a new email soley for that is ideal.

    goof luck

    Your best bet for making money quickly is not online, but offline. I encourage people who are in dire need of money or they are wanting to start IM but have zero capital for hosting even, to do things like hand out flysers for others for daily pay, do handyman work, become a sign spinner etc.

    Online marketing is not a sprint, it is a marathon, though it may be comprised of several sprint type campaigns, there is not a push button solution to making money. If you are not interested in any of the offline methods, then offering a service may be your best option. Writing articles, doing VA work, manual submission and back linking, all basic things you can do online to begin earning. I got my start by writing posts for a celebrity blog and neither of us knew enough about online marketing at the time, I was being paid by the hour and on "scouts honor" lol

    Sell a service. It will cost you little but time. Look at all the products that recommend outsourcing... and be the person they want to use for outsourcing the tasks they no longer want to do themselves.

    You will be able to see an income stream quickly and then you can breath. Once you have an income you can then work on your residual income type business ideas.

    Did you know that you can use Public Domain content for articles, blog posts, products, free reports and more? Debra's Public Domain Treasure Hunter blog can show you how....

        Offer a service (you know something about) - hands down.

        This can get money in your account in as soon as an hour or less if you pick the right one.
