Passive Income

Can you earn quick money online?

Almost every time I visit one of those IM forums I see this question being asked over and over and over. I had to laugh when I saw a question that basically said he needed to make $1,000 by the end of this week and had no prior online marketing experience. Even worse, this same type of question has been popping up on the eHow forums lately. I wonder why people have the misguided perception that making money online is easy.

I knew when I got started that it was going to be a long, tough road. I honestly did not expect to be make even one dollar online. Fortunately for me, I began by writing articles on eHow, which has provided a nice, steady source of income. This turned out to be a great place to begin and has taught me a ton about things I never knew existed; SEO, affiliate marketing, etc.

After spending a few months of learning, I began to slowly branch into other areas. The first thing I did was buy One Week Marketing. I absolutely love this resource. In fact, 80% of what I do now is loosely based on the techniques I learned by reading, and acting, on Jennifer’s instructions.

As a side note, while watching football on Sunday I started a new OWM campaign. I only had time to write one article for Ezinearticles, which went live this morning. The very first person to click through actually bought the product. How cool is that?

You should not let the $47 price tag scare you. In my honest opinion it was worth every penny. There are other cheaper alternatives however. The best I have seen is 4 Day Profits. This dude is awesome and teaches you how to make a decent amount of money online for only $29. In fact, just by watching one of his FREE videos, I learned a new technique to find profitable niches.

What many people fail to recognize is that I can only manage to carve out about 2 hours a week to work on my online empire. Each month I have aspirations of working a ton, but then life, and/or work, gets in the way and I end up falling way short of my goals. Nevertheless, I push on, and so should you.

How Much Money Have I Earned?

So often when you come across a blog that talks about making money with a certain technique, the reader is left wondering just how much money that person actually made with that product. As such, I have added up my stats, as follows:

One Week Marketing Campaigns
Date Purchased: 4-18-09
Sales - 22
Returns - 0
Total Revenue - $750 (rounded to nearest dollar)
Out of Pocket Expense - $47 (to buy One Week Marketing)

As you can see, I am making about $150 per month exclusively from  OWM campaigns. I make a tad more than that through other sites such as eHow, PPC advertising and article marketing (which is so much fun). I am slowly working my way up towards my goal of $500 per month by 12/31/09. Now that I have learned to really tap into the power of MicroNicheFinder I honestly expect my OWM campaigns and article marketing revenue to grow substantially.

Earn quick money? No!

Earn decent money? Yes!
