5 Ugly Truth About Make Money Online
Ugly Truth #1 – “I Want To Make Fast Money Online”
There is no way where we can make fast money from the internet. Make money online is tough, it takes you long time and you may make some money or gain nothing from internet, it depends on how many things that you know and how you manage it. There is no fast way to make money online, you must take some times to build your blog or website and develop it.
Ugly Truth #2 – “I Want Make Money Online In The Easiest Way”
It’s easy to lose money online, but it’s hard to make money online. If you want the easiest way to make money online and your mind has been set in this way, I suggest you not to waste your time and quit now. There is no easy way to make money, the advertisement that you see everywhere which states that they will show you the secret of making money online the easiest way, if you trust them and you fall into their trap.
Ugly Truth #3 – “I Want Make More Money Online Without Investment”
You don’t have to invest a huge amount of money to start your online business, but at least you invest some money to purchase your own web hosting and domain name, it doesn’t cost you much. Few months ago, my friends told me that they want to make money online like what I’m doing, but they didn’t want to invest anything before they make money, so they created a blog in blogspot and put effort in developing the blog.
Last month, some of my friends told me that their blogs had been removed by Blogger without any reason. They had similar cases with Alan Liew and last week I wrote an article with title “1 Reason Why You Should Have Your Own Hosting And Domain“. If you serious in making money online, do a little investment.
Ugly Truth #4 – “I Want To Write About Make Money Online, It’s The Hottest Niche”
You are right, make money online is the hottest niche on the internet, but it doesn’t mean that you can make money online by writing about make money online niche. Newbies or beginners think in this way but they never know that they can make more money by writing what they really like. Make money online niche is dead because there are tons of repeated tips and ways about make money online on the web.
Previously, I was in the MMO niche too, but I can tell you that it’s not the most profitable niche. It’s very competitive and it’s hardly to rank well with the keyword “make money online”, I’m sure you’ll quit very soon when you find that you can’t drive traffic to the blog and make money.
Ugly Truth #5 – “I Want To Make Money Online Without Working Hard”
You just want to sit on the chair and see the money flowing into your pocket without doing anything? No way! If you look at all the successful bloggers such as Darren Rowse, Daniel Scocco, John Chow, and etc., they’re working very hard to reach this stage. If you want to make money without doing anything, just get back to your bed and make a dream.
Wrap Up
There is no free lunch in this world, make money online is not as simple as you think, you have to really put effort and work hard to achieve your goal. Now you can start planning, create a blog and choose the topic that you’re passionate, develop it and build your brand. Don’t worry that you can’t make money online, when your blog grows and money will follow. You might be another success blogger in the near future!

About Lee Ka Hoong
Great points. I see a lot of people out their saying they going to make a lot money online and it be easy. Its all false and whenever I see those adsense adds and other affiliate adds out there I just laugh.
People really need to have common sense. Making money is not easy. If there was any way to make money easy without effort, then its probably not legal.

@element321,
You’re right James, people need to have common sense and there is no easy way to make money online.
People tells you that they’re going to make big money online because they want to sell you something, you’re the one who loses money and they make money. I hope newbies could think out of the box and don’t fall into the trap.
Well said James!
yah. i agree with you. It really tough. This is cruel world.

@titan,
We have to work hard and put effort no matter what goal or target that we want to achieve. That’s the only way.
Hi there,
You have made some very good points about making money online. Nothing in this world is ever easy and trying to earn a few bucks online is definitely not one of them.
Anyway, why would Blogger remove their blogs without any reason? What did they do with their blogs? Too many advertisements?

@Dennis Edell,
You have very good points there as well Dennis! You’re right, almost 100% of my friends don’t know how to do it the right way, they just want to know how to make money online the easiest and fastest way, there is no shortcut though. ;)
Everything you have said is true, no matter how you go about making money online you are going to have to put some effort into it. Freebie trading is about the only thing I have found that you can get paid for right away with out having to put in a lot of money into advertising. You won’t get rich, but you will get paid. But the more you want to make the more effort and money you will have to put into any endeavor you take on. Kathy

Hi Lee
As the saying goes: “The truth is alway ugly”. But look at it from another perspective. If it aren’t those rouge marketers fuelling how easy and fast making money with their systems are, newbies would not had misalign the expectation of making money online. Look around us. I dare to say at least 8 out of 10 Internet Marketers’ sales copy claim that they can do that.
Cheers

@Tinman,
We can’t avoid that, that’s they used to do to attract people to signup or subscriber their copy, it would be good if they could give out pieces of information to the beginner for free. There is still some internet marketers who offer something really good, but it’s complicated to sort out those good one.
Thanks for your comment here Tinman.
