A serious look at how to make real money online – the facts about the potential for great income
This is part 2 of my series on how to “Make Real Money Online”. If you missed the first article, you can check it out on my blog. The link should be available in the resource box of this article.
Let’s go for it. To make real money online, you need to be realistic with your goals. And yes, you must have goals. There are many ways to earn real money online. The difference is in what you consider real money. My definition of real money is any amount that equals or exceeds what I have to have to live the lifestyle I want. For you, that can be very little or a lot. Personally, I feel like the real money starts in the low five figures per month range. Basically, if you can quit your job and go full time, that’s real money. I think most people would agree with that.
To make real money online, you will have to think about how you position yourself in the industry. I like the expression “Watch where the money is flowing and take the lead.” Being at the forefront of the cash flow is a great place to be, right? To do this, you must first be able to assess where the money is flowing. This is such an open statement that it could take you months without proper guidance. This is where an effective partnership comes into play. Find someone who is having success and do what they are doing. It only makes sense to capitalize on the success and hard work of others. To make money online, it’s more about duplication, not innovation. You can reinvent the wheel later.
Another very important thing, perhaps the most important, to make real money online is leverage. This term can be applied to many things like money, time, experience, partners, positioning, and the list goes on. Let’s use it in relation to position. If you decide to join an online business, say network marketing, that can teach you how to stay ahead of the cash flow, positioning is very important. Many network marketing companies require you to start at the bottom of the ladder with very little compensation per sale until you work your way up the ranks. It only makes sense to get involved with a company that will allow you to position yourself with better leverage per sale up front. That way, you can make more money with less effort up front. This could mean the difference between getting thousands of dollars per sale versus perhaps just a few hundred. It only makes sense to position yourself with better leverage up front if you can.
Let this soak in and I’ll continue this series on how to make money online in the next article. If you have any questions, feel free to go to my blog and contact me.
