How to Earn Money Online - The Sources That Worked For Me

Why do people decide they want to start an online business? It may be to create an extra income to supplement their current income. It may be a career change. It may be because you want to fire your boss and become fully self employed on the internet!

Just ten or so years ago, if a person really needed or wanted to supplement their income, it usually meant taking another "side job" or maybe doing some freelance work or provide services for friends and neighbors (i.e. house sitting, baby sitting, pet sitting, etc.) But now, there are so many ways to earn money online from home on a part-time basis. All you have to do is choose where you want to start and what you want to do....then learn how to do it...and finally - Do it! Ahh....and therein lies the challenge. Such a simple process, but anyone who has started on the path of a part-time or full-time internet marketing career knows that the path is full of confusing turns and distractions that cause most people to give up before they've even had a fair start.

After spending many years trying to overcome this challenge myself -- I finally came across some good, honest, comprehensive resources that will enable anyone to learn how to earn money online on a part time or on a full time basis. Now, I consult and help others learn to focus and choose their path to extra income on the internet.

I have three main sources that are important to me, three sources and three mentors who helped me overcome the challenges of getting started, staying focused, and developing my skills. These three sources took me from nothing to eventually earning enough from home that I was able to quit my job and own a new career as an internet marketing entrepreneur.

The first source I recommend is Nick Marks. His beginner level program is great for the person who is just starting out and doesn't know what to do. His source is good for the person who does not know how to a build a website and who simply wants to get up and going fast as an affiliate marketer. If you already know what you want to promote and how you want to promote it -- then you may want to skip Nick's training. But even then, it would be helpful in showing you all the different ways you can promote a product, and I'm sure you will get some new ideas from his work that you may not have thought of before. An education in the basics is necessary for the beginner and always good for the intermediate and advanced marketer to review too.

The next source that truly helped me, and I must say this one helped me the most, is the affiliate marketing training membership that is created by Ewen Chia. I cannot say enough about how helpful this resource was (and is) to me in learning how to make money online. Ewen teaches more than just "what to do;" he also teaches step-by-step "how to do it," and leaves no detail out whatsoever. What surprised me the most is how simple the process is in successfully learning to earn money online. There are really only 4 main steps -- but if any step is left out - or not implemented correctly, the whole attempt to earn money online will likely fall apart. Definitely if I had to recommend only one source for affiliate marketing training -- Ewen's would be the one. If my life depended on earning a certain level of income in affiliate marketing within a certain number of days, and I could only choose one mentor to help me reach that goal and save my life -- then I wouldn't even have to think about who I would choose. It would be Ewen Chia.

Finally, my last resource I would recommend is Jack Sinclair. Jack's materials are more "advanced" I would say, and I am still delving through his comprehensive training. Even though the information he teaches is more advanced, he does take you from the beginning and covers all the basics in a way that is easy to understand. Jack teaches more on how to make money online if you have or want to develop your own products and market them to an online niche. Most beginners would probably not want to start here unless they have an idea of a product they already want to sell online.

Ultimately -- to be successful in online marketing, you need good resources, good mentors you can trust, a good plan of action, and then determination to see the plan through to the end. I am thankful that I found the resources above and spent the time to implement what those resources taught me. There are a lot of programs online and new ones being released all the time. However the three sources mentioned above have been personally reviewed fully and implemented by me, and I can tell you without hesitation -- they work!
