Why You Will Never Make Any Money Online, Ever!

There is a lot to be said for someone who keeps getting up even when they continue to be knocked down and learning how to avoid the things that keep you on the ground.
There is a time to hold back though, and walk away.
Most people looking for ways to make money, aside their regular job, really do not have the time to invest in the educational aspect of website creation, research, marketing, including paid and organic advertising promotions and do not have the patience involved in creating quality websites and providing good content and developing traffic to them.
This does not mean that they are not smart, it also does not mean that it can't be accomplished. Most people looking for a way to make money online first come across some type of program that they found online and fall for the sales copy and buy into a system that they truly believe they can make money with. (It's Like Making Money With An Online Gold Rush).(could give you countless examples) not countless but several.
You know the story…..your friend joined company A and wants you to join and all you have to do is get 2 more to join and so on. Yes I am speaking of MLM's and the only difference between all of them is the entry cost and the commission, oh, Oops! there were no commissions, because you were unable to get anyone to join up. Your friends and family said hey not for me, good luck!
Then there are the products and software that you can purchase that will solve all your money problems. I will use Affiliate Jump as an example,because it is the most recent Guru Promotion and Like all Guru Products or systems, this one is designed to make one person " The Program Provider" a crap load of income, and let me tell you how. Affiliate Jump is a CPA Network, if you do not know what this is you should do some research on it. I will just tell you the most common name for this abbreviation ( Cost Per Action ).
The high point for this program is you will be accepted no matter what and getting accepted in a CPA network normally requires some very solid credentials. You will be able to promote top offers on the internet probably in the 20 to 50 dollar commission range per cost per action. This system " Affiliate Jump" gives you every thing you need…. Web sites, Hosting, Content, Training, Etc, for the amazing low price of about $100.00 USD per month.
There is only the small problem…… and that is getting traffic, targeted traffic, to your websites. Even though they have training, schooling, probably top notch stuff, if you have never done advertising, specific advertising in the right place, you will loose your butt on this deal. There are things you do not know that a small percentage of people do know.
You will spend money on advertising, probably Pay Per Click with Google, Yahoo, Etc. You will attempt to do organic SEO with article submissions and building back-links to your money sites, but only a couple out of hundreds will actually make any money with this as a subscriber. You will have a couple of affiliates that make bank in this program, but, you will have thousands that fail miserably.
And the whole entire time Affiliate Jump will collect your monthly subscription and also their percentage of every sale that every affiliate makes. If you make 2 sales, they make money. If you make 10 sales, you might even make some money to put toward your advertising campaigns. This is a win, win situation for Affiliate Jump and an "OH Shit" for you if you can't seem to pull off your part of the deal.
Most people that want to earn an income, even if they have never joined any programs, tend to do lots of research and lots of reading. Most the time they come across blogs that say they are going to teach them about how to make money on the internet. Then every post is a sales ad promoting some type of " this will solve your problem, but you have 45 seconds left before it will be unavailable".
This "Beautiful Blog" is my flagship blog and is not intended to try to sell you stuff, or even get you to read it. This is where I mess around with writing about different things affiliated with the Make Money Online niche. There are affiliate links to programs that I have purchased and use. I only recommend the ones that I actually use that have steered me in the right direction. (maybe 1 Clickbank product I have not purchased).
OK.
Here are some ways you can earn money…………
- Work a job.
- Start your own business, sell a product (yours or someone else's), or some type of service and/or membership. (still have a job)
- Or ……Create small niche websites based on a specific thing and sell someones, something for a commission
We have all had a job or still work a job and this is important if you want to be able to make money online. If you can't afford a place to stay, be able to eat, sad but true this business is not for you.
If you want to start your own business I commend you! If you do not know what real overhead is……. Commercial Building and Property Mortgage, Commercial Liability Insurance, City and State Licensing, Employees, Payroll, Payroll Taxes, Computer Hardware, Software, Licensing (no wonder MS is so Wealthy) Telephones, Natural Gas, Electricity, Water, Sewer, Vehicles, Than……..Inventory etc. I think everyone should have their own Real Business so they understand that side of the fence. And this is just the beginning of having your own business.
Or…..
You could be an Internet Marketer/ Affiliate Marketer, you could build small niche websites and earn a few dollars from each one of them. This is time consuming and most people won't do it let alone try to understand it.
This is why……….. you will never ever Make Money Online………..You will not take the small steps necessary to learn, test and grow an online income.
The Main Point Here is that I see is thousands of people being taken advantage of by the people I call the A-Listers. They give you hope that you will be able to make it after buying their products and they give advice that will keep you stuck in the dark and wandering around, even buying more products from them.
And Guess Who's Fault It Is?
Yours !
One Of Those A-Listers Get's exposed here……. Be A Better Blogger
Cheers!
