3 Ways To Make Money

Just about everyday I get flooded with emails. Undoubtedly, everyday I get asked this EXACT question...no lie! It happens everyday. Here's the question:

What's the easiest way to make money online?

That's why I wasn't surprised when I saw that at least 510 people each month search for information on how to make money online the easy way. Maybe that's how YOU found this article in the first place? ;-)

Anyway, you've come here looking for answers. And I guess it's time I pony up. So, here's the deal. You can make money online and it doesn't have to be "hard". And yes, it can even be easy...but it doesn't start out like that.

You've got to serve your time, or at least learn a few simple truths that will give you the advantage. Here's my quick 3 steps to get you making money in no time.

1) Find Your Passion

I don't believe ever got rich selling something they didn't really care about. Even if they did make a lot of money doing it, they didn't get rich. Being rich to me is making a lot of money WHILE doing what you love. So, don't just look for a hot market. Instead, dig deep and tap into something you're already passionate about. I believe in this strongly. As a matter of fact, I teach it to all my blogging students. You can't keep working on a business you don't care about, simple as that.

So, start right now by writing out your passions, hobbies, and interests. This is how you begin your own internet business.

2) Get A Blog Going...YESTERDAY

Blogs are awesome, incredible, great, fantastic, wonderful, and awe-inspiring. Also - they work. If you aren't blogging, you aren't living. You can have a free blog right now by visiting blogger.com or wordpress.com. Those aren't the types of blogs I do, but they sure are better than not doing anything. Once you've got your blog up, you need to start sharing your passion for your hobby. Just write something short and sweet. It's not rocket science.

3) Sell Affiliate Products And Use Ads To Make Cash

This is the funnest part. You don't even have to sell your own products. Fine someone who already has a product in the same vein of what your talking about. For example, if your site is about how to knit sweaters you could sell needles, yarn, and how to knit information (DVD's, Books, Ebooks, etc). Just do a search for Your Hobby + affiliate program.

This will get you zooming.

Of course, you've also got to get traffic! Once you have that the whole system basically runs itself.
