      I agree, Clickbank is hard for most people to get going with. However, it is like any other product on the internet. If you have a website and sell shoes, that is your product. Think of clickbank products as the shoes. You just need targeted traffic to your products, and you should make money. Driving the targeted traffic is the tough part.

      The hardest way is to devote your time to looking for the method that guarantees "the easiest way." Pick a method and stick at it! Rome wasn't built in a day, nor is a successful IM business.

      Despite what some charlatans claim, no magic method to make a million dollars overnight exists. Success demands hard work and dedication over a long period of time.

    The hardest way to make money online is your laziness. If you never do it consistently, you would not get the result you want. There's a will, there's a way.

    Running an online endeavor without tracking your metrics and knowing your metrics. A close second would be running an online enterprise like a hobby and not a real business.

      As per the thread title, I'd say the "hardest" way is selling those purple pill deals.

      As per the question in the OP, I'd say the "most difficult" way is by trying to do everything yourself rather than outsourcing the things you're not good at. Hire the specialists to code, design, etc. so you can get the project done and the order button live. Because nothing happens until something gets sold.

      Edited to add: Buying more than you sell.

        The hardest way to make money is when you:

        -Rely on the low-cost of internet traffic
        -Rely on the "easy" option to monetize your site
        -Rely on having lower competition

        Because what ends up happening is that the cost ALWAYS goes up, you're at the whim of a 3rd party to dictate your price, and competition increases. E.G. Creating a content site that relies on Google and monetizing with Adsense.

        Doing that basically is the root cause of a lot of problems. You can't do anything....you can't hire, outsource, go offline, or do any paid advertising. All because you have no margins in your business.

    Product creation for sure. Long drawn out and meticulous.

    Oh yeah anyway is hard when you don't learn it first. Far too many people find making money online hard because they go off half educated and try to make their riches..... Never going to work. Also jumping from product to product is hard.

    Commit, learn, budget, learn, test, learn, fail learn= SUCCESS

    Gaming the system has to be pretty hard. To be always looking for loopholes or back-door ways to squeeze an advantage from the search engines or sites like YouTube, Facebook, Craigslist, Pinterest, (insert latest target). Forever trying to stay one step ahead of the hammer while knowing that at any time you're likely to have your links, traffic, rankings and (therefore) income nuked or nullified must get pretty stressful.

    But in general, I'd say the hardest way would be working just for the sake of making money. If you're not doing something you'd also enjoy doing for free (if you could), it can be a tough life.

      Freelancing - It's like pushing a dead car on level ground - you push like hell and it gradually starts movin - stop pushin, it stops movin. No momentum, no leverage, no "passive-ness". Just brute force for income.

        Based on years and years of experience and also being a stud, I can say with great certainty that the hardest way to make money online is all of the above. Everything is hard when it's new. The unknown is seriously hard for most humans because they are based on habits. In fact, it's primitive... fight or flight.

        Therefore, in my honest, professional, studly opinion... the hardest part is getting over your own habits, self beliefs, limits, self sabotage, attitude, aggressiveness, focus and COURAGE to actually TRY/DO all the things you learn... all the things you want to do but don't... all the things you already know you should be doing but are not. The hardest thing is to have faith and courage to venture into the unknown, with expectations of achieving your goals.

        That's why most never get started, so the hardest part is also spending all of your time learning and very little of your time doing. It's all about traffic and conversions. It's math. Money is math and numbers don't lie. The problem is people mess it all up with their emotions, habits, excuses, complaints, limits, personal problems, cycles and that little voice in the back of their heads telling them it will not work.

        Here's a fake story to illustrate:

        Bob comes to me all excited and says "Eric, Eric... I've got it man! I've been working on this for a year now and it's finally ready! I've put in thousands and thousands of dollars into this project and it's finally ready! I'm so excited, this is going to crush it man. I've put in 16 hour days on this and it's finally ready! I'm gonna make a ton bro!"

        Eric says, "That's a good idea Bob. I like the idea except it will not work. You see, it's already been done 1,000 times before. Sorry to be the one to tell you that".

        Bob says, "Ah shucks! Yeah, I guess you're right. Oh well. Well, do you have any ideas on how I can earn pay-the-bills-cash?"

        :::

        The problem here is all it took was a few sentences from me to crush his dreams. Who am I to tell him it will not work?? He gave up so easily. And, so do most people. All it takes is a thought... or some person to toss a little negativity their way and they give up."

        Instead, be bold. Be great. Be YOU. Be confident. Go for your dreams and of course listen to others, but not so much to the point you ignore your own gut or instincts or beliefs.

        What was the question again?

        ~Eric Louviere

    Doing nothing is the hardest. Driving traffic is by far the biggest hurdle for me. If somebody could help me with this, I would appreciate it! Other than that, PPC is really tough unless you have money to throw in the garbage can. Competition is so high these days, ranking high on good keywords is next to impossible without spending $3+ per click.

  • To me, the hardest way of making money online is, earning though adsense. I have got an 9 months old adsense account but my account balance is $8 till now. The problem is, I am not getting enough visitors in my site to increase clicks. There is another thing I think can be hardest, that is affiliate marketing which are related to selling products. Like Amazon affiliates.

    Doing something just for the money - because that is really, really boring and painful.

    Trying to do any "method" to just make money instead of really caring about and growing a "business" that means something to you.
