How To Make Money On The Internet!
June 2nd, 2009 | by Conrad Walton |I have actually been making pretty good money for years on the www.survivor.com site. If you have a fan site that you want to improve, I can walk you through how I did it over there. That site pays my mortgage.
I’ve been very interested in making money on the Internet for a while now, so I’ve been reading a lot of web sites, subscribing to a lot of email lists, and buying a lot of ebooks.
I’ve learned about affiliate sales, about SEO, writing, email lists, ebook production, niche sites, coaching, and Internet marketing. There does seem to be a pattern or a process that does work and people really do make money on the Internet.
After all of my research, I’ve discovered a profound truth.
The best way to make money on the Internet is to market products teaching people how to make money on the Internet.
The best way to make money on the Internet is to market products teaching people how to make money on the Internet.
You may think I’m kidding, but I’m not.
I’m also going to follow my own advice and I’m going to tell you how to make money at home, on the Internet. I’ve been doing it. I’ve been studying it. I’ve been researching it. I’ve been telling friends about it. Now it’s time for me to tell you about it too.
I’m going to try a unique angle at though, that I don’t see anyone else doing. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like specific advice on building your own real business is missing. I’m going to try to change the focus of this site towards giving advice and examples of real world people with businesses and how we’ll work to improve them. We’ll try to look at what steps we take and what effects they have. I’ll show charts and graphs with numbers on them.
If you’d like to read some other great sites about how to make money on the Internet (by telling other people how to make money on the Internet), here are some examples, starting with the best, moving towards the less inspirational, Seth Godin:
Seth Godin
Godin is author of ten books that have been bestsellers around the world and changed the way people think about marketing, change and work. His books have been translated into more than 20 languages, and his ebooks are among the most popular ever published. He is responsible for many words in the marketer’s vocabulary, including permission marketing, ideaviruses, purple cows, the dip and sneezers. His irrepressible speaking style and no-holds-barred blog have helped him create a large following around the world.

Gary Vaynerchuk
Gary Vaynerchuk has captured attention with his pioneering, multi-faceted approach to personal branding and business. After primarily utilizing traditional advertising techniques to build his family’s local wine business into a national industry leader, Gary rapidly leveraged social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook to promote Wine Library TV, his video blog about wine. As his viewership swelled to over 80,000 a day, doors opened to a book deal, several national TV appearances, and a flurry of speaking engagements around the world. Gary’s dual identity as both business guru and wine guy has made him the “Social Media Sommelier.”

“How To Start An Internet Business…and make your first $1,000 online“.
The book is not about basic tutorials on the practical aspects like setting up websites, choosing domain names, etc. It talks more about mindset and business strategy, although I include 12 steps necessary to start an online business at the end which are quite practical.
