I Make Money Online

I Make Money Online. You Can Too


When I purchased my first computer over 10 years ago, I knew

I wanted to put it to work and make money with it some how.

But I knew nothing about computers or the Internet. I knew

nothing about network marketing, search engine marketing, or

even how to create my own web site. I knew nothing about

e-mail marketing e-mail leads or how to set up an e-mail

list.


I began searching the Internet for ideas. I quickly learned

that you could join several affiliate programs and they

would supply you with a free affiliate web page.

Unfortunately getting good quality traffic to these

affiliate web pages was somewhat of a challenge. And the

Major search engines wouldn’t even list my new affiliate web

pages. So once again I was left searching the Internet for

ideas.


I kept reading over and over again to get your own domain

name and create your own web site. Then incorporate all your

affiliate links into your new web site. Create a theme and

join affiliate programs related to that theme. But I knew

nothing about creating a web site. And what the heck is

HTML?


I began creating web pages on Microsoft publisher. These

were very simple pages and now when I look back at them I

have to laugh. They were anything but professional and

publisher actually made many errors in the HTML code. But

this was all just part of the learning curve. You have to

learn to walk before you run.


Eventually I started writing my own HTML using Microsoft

word and saving it as a simple HTML text file. To this day

all my web page’s are created using word.


Since starting my online business I have probably joined

100s of affiliate program opportunities, re-modeled my web

page over 50 times and spend more than 4 hours a day reading

and learning how to further promote my sites to make more

money. All this was done on my own with little to no

training from others.


When I started I knew nothing and now my business is getting

between 5-10 commission checks in the mail every month

generated from sales or leads coming from my 6 web sites.


I get people that say to me all the time. I cannot do that

on my own. Well if I can do it you can too. It just takes a

little patients and the will to learn. If you want to make

money online you need to act. You need to search for

information and read all about how to create your own web

site. Then you need to search for information on how to

promote, advertise, and most of all how to get good search

engine rankings.
