Websites Making Money

Since joining the ranks of the unemployed,December 2007, I started reading everything I could pertaining to websites making money. With my income suddenly cut off and no prospects in sight down here in the Sunshine State, I knew I would have to come up with something to bring in a little bill money.

My employment background did not lend itself to computer literacy. My computer experience was limited to electronic parts catalogs and purchasing auto parts online with preset factory programs. I had no blogging experience, even email gave me fits. The best thing I had going for me, I enjoy reading and research. But, I was not prepared for the sheer volume of material, online and off, that covered websites making money, internet sales marketing, home based businesses com, and all of the other sites devoted to the make money earn money online business.

My introduction to blogging came from an article in Entrepreneur magazine about a guy making $30,000 a month writing about everyday events in his life. That's about the time I gave up the magazines and started doing what I swore I would never do...surf the internet. Just a necessary evil until I started reading about real people making a living online. Work at home Moms, out of work Dads, grandparents without much in the way of retirement, all seemed to be supplementing their income in a thousand different ways on the internet. I figured if they could, why not me? So now the number one question on mind was...how do I start blogging?

Possessing at least enough sense to create a separate email address for my internet based home business, I discovered, if you sign up for it, they will email you...constantly, along with their fellow opportunists. After signing up for information on a site that was gonna' make me "rich beyond my wildest dreams", I started receiving 75 to 100 emails a day promising or even guaranteeing thousands of dollars a month if I signed up for their system. Costing anywhere from $7 to $997,(everything has a 7 in it), these people were gonna make my life one long cocktail party. I might've been born at night but, it wasn't last night. Besides, I'm a tightwad. Needless to say, I didn't fall for any of that crap. I'm way to analytical, plus...(see tightwad above).

My internet sales marketing adventure is now seven months old and I've actually made a few dollars. Nothing to write home about yet but, I have learned I can do this and armed with that knowledge I know I can, with a lot of hard work, make a living online, right from my own home. I've actually found a few websites making money that I will share with you in future posts. Main thing is...don't give up.

To your success,
Rick
