I wasn't sure where to post this but I'm trying to learn. I am a complete beginner and am looking for comprehensive instruction on how to make money online. I'd like to see all my options, simple and easy to the more complex. I need to start at the absolute very basics and go from there. Would the "20 ways to make $100 a day" ebook be a good buy? Is the information in the book available for free online in forums like this? Basically I'm asking where a complete beginner go to learn the complete basics of earning online.
Thanks

Hi,
I think it is not easy to earn online money now.
But selling ebooks may be a right start.

Just for your reference only.

Don't read ebooks. You can find more information spending 15 minutes on this forum than reading a whole ebook.

bp170, my advice is to learn as you go. Take what you know and JUMP INTO IT head first. The web is SUCH a cheap startup you can't really lose anything until you think you can buy your knowledge. Experience is free. I recommend Dreamhost (very cheap and lots of space/bandwidth) and get your first domain.

Learn as you go. JUST START. If you don't start something -whatever it may be. A blog, an e-commerce store, whatever. Just start. Learn as you go, and keep improving your website/business. A lot of people end up reading and researching but never do anything. You need to start, but don't stop learning either.

Complete beginner? Think what you find the most fun doing - a blog? a store? whatever it is, do that. Learn about improving it as you go. Trial and error will do the rest, and your desire to make money and become successful should drive you everyday into giving it all you have.

Good luck.

Both Mahz and Andresh are correct. First off, if you're just starting out they're are better ways to spend your money than ebooks.. That's not to say they're aren't some good ebooks out there, but 99.999% of them are overpriced compiled bits of information available freely on the internet embedded with up-sold affiliate links. If it doesn't offer you information you simply can't get for free or that would take an enormous amount of effort to acquire, they're usually not worth it. If you do a google search for "ways to make 100 dollars a day" I'm sure you'll find at least 20.

Secondly you didn't specify how you would like to go about making money so I'm guessing it's not too important to you at this point. Ebay is still a very common and reasonably easy way to make money. Check out pulse.ebay.com to find what's selling well, look for something without too much competition to start. (In other words, I wouldn't go with digital cameras). Auctions, Garage Sales, Liquidators, Ebay itself, or even occasionally Wal-mart are good places to look for items if you don't want to settle into a niche right away and create a relationship with a Wholesaler/Manufacturer. www(dot)worldwidebrands(dot)com is a good source for wholesalers and doing research, but it costs money and isn't worth it unless you're sure that's what you want to pursue. You're going to need a Tax ID number for many of the wholesalers and that will take a bit of paperwork.

Another popular method is Niche marketing. If you're just starting out check out www(dot)thirtydaychallenge(dot)com It will walk you through the basics and you'll learn a lot even if you don't make any money on your first venture.

This is getting long so, good luck.

P.s. To the moderators, sorry for getting around the link posting rules, but I believe they'll be helpful and are not spam.. Feel free to delete them if you feel differently.

seems like there is an underlying ebook bashing undertone here.

having benefitted from my fair share of good and bad blogs, forums, ebooks and seminars, there is a mix of good and bad stuff out there.

you might like to check out some blogs and forums, find something you're comfortable with.

the most important point is to take action.

reading stuff all day wont bring you into your $100/day or other goal.
taking action will.

on the subject of forums, there are free forums and paid forums and the paid ones/sections generally have a higher quality of information and ideas.

so don't let cost be a major consideration, but rather pick a path and start moving along it.

**Hobbit** · 11-27-2007, 02:19 PM

There's no magic formula. Just start and don't think too much about it. At the same time join a couple of webmaster forums and learn as you go. It's pretty hard to learn everything in one day, but I promise you a few months of reading in forums will do you very good.

Last but not least, NEVER give up. I went through so much to get my first check. I had to get rejected, banned, and humiliated for a while, but I didn't let that bring me down. Now I'm making more than my mom, pwnd.

>> I think it is not easy to earn online money now.

You're kidding, right?

There's never been a time where it was THIS EASY (ie: SIMPLE) to create an income.

**jesterx** · 12-09-2007, 06:28 AM

seriously its easy to earn money online...people just read and dont take any action.

as they say there is no re-action without action.

read around here there are lots of way to earn a mint online

i would start with an affiliate program and then work out what sells really well then create and promote your own product in that niche....i have done this twice and I left my job cause Im sitting on 150k per year now....

I dont say this to brag just to tell that guy you cant make money online is silly...its contantly changing. so just read up and do the affiliiate thing first and you will start earning money i promise.

**MrCat** · 12-12-2007, 02:28 AM

You can earn money online if you know where to find the right resources. Research while learning would be my best advice

Search google for "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone" and find Brett Tabke post. Should be the first result in the serps. That is still good information today.

Your easier and most simple option is to get a coach or mentor that takes you by the hand and helps you to avoid waste of time and money.

Your most complex option is to do what 98% of newbies are doing: Buying a lot of eBooks and getting a lot of free stuff, jumping from forum to forum, from blog to blog, from program to program trying to learn the basics... The results are information overload and no money.

If you can't afford a mentor, pick a couple of people that you see that really help, study their stuff and APPLY what you learn.

Thanks,
PV Reymond

You are welcome xternall.

I'd join a business and get some coaching and mentorship from someone who in an online buiness.

**Will.Spencer** · 01-14-2008, 05:01 PM

I would visit the "Buy/Sell/Trade - Services" subforums at popular webmaster forums to find out what services other webmasters are looking for.

Then, I would learn how to provide one of those services and start making money.

That will give you an income which you can use to buy domains, hosting, eBooks, etc...

**r2rprofits** · 01-15-2008, 02:24 PM

Thats another good way.

**onlineincome** · 01-31-2008, 06:04 AM

I doubt there's such things as easy money.. unless it's illegal.

**PinkMama** · 01-31-2008, 04:23 PM

This is my first thread I read and thanks! I knew joining this forum would be helpful.

Thanks everyone.
