How Can Anyone Make Money Online?

I just wanted to go over a topic that I think about when I start looking into online ventures and that is can anyone make money online? So far the only restriction I have found is that you must be 18 years old.

Now that is not to say that all you need is to be 18 to make money online. That is just saying that I have only been asked if I was 18 and that I must be 18 to participate in the program or promotions what have you on that page.

So can anyone make money online if they are over 18?

My back ground is a good place to start off. I am 30. I am a single mother of a seven year old hand full to say the least. I have over 12 years experience in Restaurants. My main focus over the years has been training and development. None of which has been web focused or had to do with any type of marketing. It has all been operational classroom or follow training at a specific location or store. As of today I have made money online.

I decided on Dec 20, 2012 that I was sick and tired of working my butt off at these restaurants. I was fighting for good sections and good shifts. I decided that I was worth a lot more than what I had been given after all the help I had given to the growth of the staffs I have been a part of.

That's when I thought to myself, "Why the hell am I begging to make money in an establishment I am helping to make money for??" I felt the quality of service had gone up meaning that people who came in were more likely to have a good experience, meaning more people, meaning more money for the company.

Where can you start?

The first thing anyone thinking of making money online needs to do is research. I am guessing that is what you are doing now seeing as how you had to of typed something like "can anyone make money online" to have gotten a link to this page.

It is important that you decide for yourself what type of financial commitment as well as time commitment you are willing to make and don't even get started until you know for sure what you can expect from yourself. Can anyone make money online by clicking a link to a page then sitting back and watching the money flow into their bank account? NO.

Where did I start?

I just decided to do it and this is what I have found. I heard about an idea to get the rights to an idea and then drive traffic to a page that is set up to sell it.

Now starting off this was perfect for me because I had been trying to think of a way of marketing myself. See I knew that what I was doing in the restaurants I worked in was worth more than what I was getting and it was because I was marketing myself the wrong way.

I was going in and saying Hey, I am a great server-bartender. Getting that job then saying look what else I can do. Talk about selling myself short. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for $2.15/hr right?

Can anyone make money online branding themselves?

I believe so. No matter who you are, you are good at something. Even if you are not good at it you must have an area of something that you know about.

 

I have not had anyone ask me to come and give them any help working on their training programs or training their staff but I have made money by having Google AdSense on my page because somehow I have managed to get 193 views on my page.

How did I do this? I wanted to make money online. I made a commitment to myself that I was not willing to waste anymore time. Time that I could have spent and home where I was needed, or enjoying my life which I have not done in a long time. I looked around and have gotten in at the ground level on a few things to see what the real deal was.

What have I found? Can anyone make money online?

Well I have watched tons of videos and heard of all types of ways to get in. This is where research helps. The thing that really got my wheels spinning was after the last month of thinking to myself how the hell was I going to get my life back I got an e-mail for thecoffeeshopmillionaires.com.

At this time I had done no research. I had only thought that there might be companies out there that needed someone with my skill set to come in for a bit and help them out. So I listened to their thing.

I mean I am sitting there with my best friend and I have the volume down cause I know he is going to make fun of me and call me a loser. But I had been really thinking about it and I wanted to know... Can anyone make money online? I never open shit like this either.

Well my buddy did hear what I was watching and he actually said that he had heard of it before. He said that what he heard was not that bad so we did what any responsible consumer does and we googled it.

What did I do?

Long story short I ended up getting the very basic one time $37 information package. After having him look it up and all that we decided that was the best thing.

I had to work that night so when I got home we realized that we had a product already that we could market and that was me. So we bought a web domain that night and got started.

I was so excited to put myself out there and watch the work come in. This did not happen like I said earlier. I have yet to be called to consult on any training programs. To be completely honest I did not even look at the coffee shop page for like a week after I got it.

Once I did look at their page I did find a few things that I could do to make some cash but they were not really anything I was really comfortable with and I chose not to do them.

I was contacted by them to see if I would be interested in getting free coaching. Of course I would. I had no idea what I was doing. They told me to call them when I had $1500 that I could spend on starting my business.

I am not knocking this at all. Like I said before you need to know what you are willing to put in and when you think of it $1500 really is not that much when you want to be a millionaire right.

I just really did not have it to put in so I set that idea aside and looked at what I could do. That was following up on free ad coupons through godaddy.com where I had purchased my web domain and free Facebook and Google+ profiles.

Where am I now?

Can anyone make money online? Yes. I stumbled upon another e-mail when I tried to start a list capturing service for the Empower Network. Again being a responsible consumer I googled it to make sure it was not a "scam" and I decided again to get the very basic $25/month package.

At this point I was still trying just to get a little taste of it all. To find out where in all this online money I really fit in.

I have gotten so much information for that $25. My up-link has been so helpful and has a whole extra set of training and knowledge that is right up my ally. Yes they are always talking about going all in. But they don't charge you $25 to tell you to do it. They have given me tools that I am pretty sure I will use for as long as I am doing anything that has to do with making money online.

I plan on sticking with this to see where it takes me on my journey.
