I want to start a basics series that will cover some of the things newbies should know about internet marketing, and making money online. With that in mind I am kicking it off with an article entitled, “how to make money on the internet“. If this is your first time reading then welcome, if its not and you know me, then you also know that this article may not provide answers to more advanced topics.

As a beginner, you know that making money on the internet is not so easy otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this article. I come across people all the time that have difficulty making cash online because they don’t apply themselves, or are always looking for something magical.

I think some of the most common questions people have when starting out which I hope to answer for you have to do with doubts. Is it possible to make money on the internet? How much money can I make online? What resources will I need to make money online? Are there make money online scams? How much time will it take me to make a lot of money on the internet? How long will it take me to make good money? How much work will I have to do when I start earning money off the internet? How do I get paid from internet money making?

The answers to these questions are relatively simple, but knowing them will not make you money. Following a simple pattern, and paying attention to simple methods will get you there. Everyone has their own thoughts on how to earn cash with a computer. They also like to make it appear complicated so that you the user can’t really see the simplicity of it.

Beginners just starting out always think they need to buy some expensive ebook to teach how to make money online. This is simply not true. Anyone can make good money with a computer and an internet connection.

Now if we get into how much a person can make then this is another story. Money making opportunities are everywhere if you are willing to do the work. So this brings us to the next question, How much time do you have to devote to earning money on the internet? Well if you have a full time job, then spending a few hours a day might be all you can do. Of course this is going to grow your earnings much slower than if you have 8 hours a day to spend.

So where might you spend this time? Blogging is one of the easiest ways to make money, and can be done literally for free if you have the patience, and know how to write and spell. Even if you can’t spell well, you can still get lots of people that come and visit your blog.

One of the best free blogging platforms to use to make this cash is blogger.com. If you haven’t made yourself familiar with it already, then you may want to start by going over and signing up for an account. You will find that it is very easy to setup, and will give you a great testing ground first before you start spending money on hosting and setting up wordpress which would be your next step if you want to have more control over your blogs.

While using blogger is a simple way to make money on the internet, you can’t make any money without first having a form of monetizing something. This is where adsense comes into play. Can you make good money with adsense? Heck yes! How much money can a person make with adsense? My answer simply is, It’s unlimited. How much do I make with adsense you might be wondering? I will simply say, “hundreds every day”. Do you have to be a professional writer in order to make and earn lots of money online? Not at all. What you do have to learn, is how to find things that people search for. For example, you probably found me for something related to how to make money online or some other term related to the making of money with a computer.

One thing you should know is that this is not an easy road. The methods are simple, but you have to apply yourself. You get back what you put into it. If you can use your mind to think like a consumer, then you will be successful with this business, but if you have a narrow mind of just what appears in front of your face, then it is going to be a lot harder for you to have your own make money online business.

So if you are truly interested in making a healthy living with the internet, and you want to know the real secret to making money online then continue to read this blog. I will not only talk more about blogging, but other methods if running blogs isn’t for you.

I want to end this simple article with a request from you as a reader. If you work hard at this, you can make it! Complaining will not get you anywhere. Most people that I see making very little money from blogging, are usually the ones that build a few blogs and hope for miracles. Don’t hope for miracles with this business, make your own miracles happen. I know some of you may have tons of questions. That’s fine. I have a lot more time than I did before to answer them. I can’t guarantee that you will get an answer fast, but I can tell you that as long as the question is legitimate, I can at least help point you in the right direction from one of my other blog posts, or I can give you a direct answer.

For those of you who are just starting to make or try to make and earn a living and legitimate income from the internet, I welcome you to the MMO world, and hope to be of help in any way possible. Below is my email if you have any questions.
