Can you Really Make Money Online?
57We have all seen the "get rich quick" ads, but are they lying?
It
seems that every day a new 'get rich quick' idea hits the internet. They
proclaim you will be financially independent in a few months - rolling in your
new found wealth. But is this really true - can you make a living by
using the internet?
I have been trying to find ways to make an extra buck for quite a while now -
as have many other people. But what works and what doesn't? I am
determined to find the best plan for making money online!
The first thing I have tried is online surveys. You see them all the time
- join our group and we will pay you for taking surveys. There are
testimonials of people who have quit their jobs and are making a full time
income taking surveys. Really? I joined a few of these survey groups
several years ago. You fill out a survey (of course) when you join so
they can match you to surveys.
I would get emails to take surveys several times a day. Some stated they
paid 1 or 2 dollars, others gave you an entry into a monthly prize
drawing. At the beginning I was so gung ho - I took every survey that was
sent my way. Then I saw the light - there is no full time income to be
made here. Rarely did I qualify for a paying survey and I never won in the
prize drawings. Plus, the surveys are so time consuming for what little I
did get in return. I made about $75 dollars in six months of taking
surveys. Nope, not for me!
What about other ways to make money online?
My
next course of action was answering questions for one of those texting
services. Now this is better! Questions from the service are routed
to people who are sitting at their computers ready to go. I am paid a few
cents per question - which does add up faster than surveys. Since I work
when I can, I determine how much money I make each month. This one is a
keeper!
The next phase of my online money making goals is passive
internet marketing. Now I am not talking about those spammy emails
and banners you see, this one has real potential. I have had a blog for
years, and now I am learning to use its full money making potential. Who
knew this fun little blog I maintain could be a source of income?
The money from my blog started out slowly - a few cents here and there. But, as
I am learning the keys
to internet marketing I am seeing my income grow. It is amazing how it is
all coming together. I am not making a full time living off my efforts -
yet! But, I can see it working and I get excited every time I get
results. I am really making money online! All from a little blog I love to
keep.
