Making Money On the Internet ---- The Beginners Quagmire

By Mike Mastracci

It's not your fault that you have not made a lot of money on line. It's not your fault that there is too much out there to pick from. You probably do have what it takes, but you need some direction, don't you. Everybody and their mother and grandmother's next door neighbor's third cousin's brother is out there. Where do you turn to get off the ground?

Seeing all these internet "gurus" telling you that their program is the best while they brag about making millions on line has gotten old for me. One could spend a small fortune trying to learn the newest "tips" and "tricks." I am probably one of the majority of Newbies out there. I have a career and do just fine and I know and understand the value of passive income. Let me be clear here, I have spent more than I have made on the internet, have you? I think I have finally found something perfect for us Newbies and I want to share it with you (Yes, that does mean that I want you to buy something).

By learning from other people who have likely been spinning their wheels, you can save a lot of trial and error and expensive experimentation. Most Newbies are very accessible and eager to help. Even on line, the best way to learn is to teach. A basic knowledge of making money on line can be found at the Beginners Cash site. Everyone has to start some place, the starting line so to speak.

On a personal note, I am an attorney in Baltimore and I have a twenty year successful, family law, personal injury, and criminal defense practice. I love what I do, I have a nice house in a great neighborhood a wonderful family and all the trimmings. I maintain a helpful web site for people struggling with divorce and child custody issues, Divorce Without Dishonor. My fist book will be out in January. Life is good. So, what am I doing here? To me, the internet is a fascinating vehicle that can pretty much take you where you want to go. Right now, for me, it is only a hobby, a late and night or early in the morning kind of thing. I find it relaxing too. It is also healthy to learn new things, getting out of your comfort zone. For a newbie, finding the way through the internet learning curve, is like running through a maze looking for the quickest way out. I think I have finally found a good place to start making money on the internet, and a great on line coach, Michael Cheney from the UK. I like his style, his sincerity and his desire to help the newbies without beating them over the head with offer after offer.

Even if you are the person that has a good job, career or profession for support and even if you have a huge retirement plan and ample savings, you can still get a lot out of on-line marketing. You can meet all kinds of wonderful and interesting people in the internet marketing groups. It is a place to share ideas and use your imagination and when you can make money doing that at your convenience --that's a good thing. There really aren't any down sides to attempting to start an on line business. Finding a good place to start is very important.

If you are looking to really make money on the internet, you will have to invest a great deal of time. It may not take too much money to get off the ground, but you could spend thousands and thousands spinning your whees without some initial direction. Taking the time to learn and study like your financial future depended on it is one way to do it. Another way to reach your internet marketing goals is to treat it like a hobby, with a hint of entrepreneurial spirit. Too many people, many nowhere near as smart as you, are making a lot of money off of the world wide web, shouldn't you? - 15485
