Making Money Online Is Not Easy Anymore

By Cristian Dale

People now days are conscious of their budgets, it seems like even ads are not getting clicked anymore! The people who used to pay $99 for silly get rich e-books have altogether vanished from this planet and moved on...

It used to be child's play to make money on the Internet just a few years ago. You could put together a website in a couple of days and be raking in the cash within weeks. Times have changed, they are very rough indeed!

Many websites promising to make you rich still exist, but the schemes remain unchanged through time. Let's take a quick look at your options:

A business opportunity that never seems to go away is MLM. Disguised in some way or another, the basic principle still remains the same. You buy into the program and pay a fee, and then get others to do the same thing. Everyone gets a piece of the pie while the website owner, gets the bigger piece.

Another old concept that is still around is the get paid for... clicking ads, answering surveys, reading emails and yes stuffing envelopes believe it or not! All these get rich schemes come back again and again under new domain names, graphic designs and marketing text. But, none of these are really worth your time!

Don't forget the thousands of e-books which promise you'll become rich through adwords and affiliate programs. Those who sell these books might make a buck or two, but you probably won't.

The latest and greatest money making opportunity is host your own blog site. Let's say you do find the courage to start this idea. Let us also assume you found some time in your busy schedule to write. What's next? Your blog is up and running, but after several years you managed to make $10. And don't forget that you may never be able to cash in those ten bucks since most companies have a $50 minimum payment threshold!

So, how do you make money off the web?

If your financial resources are unlimited, it's real easy. Get a group of programmers, graphic designers and marketing specialists. If you're broke like the rest of us, you just may not like the answer. To make money online, it takes a lot of hard work, dedication and most importantly... patience! - 16890
