This new shopping site I have built is available to anyone to own. Just click the link on the home page. or here.
My blog will be ending soon, as I need the time to build my shopping empire. If any of you are interested in coming with me on this journey, then get cracking. There is a heap of money to be made and enough to go round for all of us.
BELOW IS THIS WEEKS ARTICLE i HAVE FOUND FOR YOU.
When you are on the internet these days you can’t help but see all the ads for make money on the web opportunities. They are even being advertised on off line publications such as newspapers and magazines. You will find so many if you actually start looking for them that it can be hard to decide if any are worth joining.
Showing people how to make money on the web is now big business. In fact, there are so many money making opportunities online that people are wondering whether all these systems, programs and schemes can be for real. Do people really make money with internet marketing, or is it all hype?
The Hype
If you believe the hype that leads you to think that you can make millions in a few days then you are going to be sorely disappointed. That is simply not possible. My advice if you see programs like this is to run in the opposite direction. You can make money on the web and that is the truth. Some people do make serious money within a few months or years.
The secret is that it takes some hard work. Some people are lucky and are able to make money on the web quickly. They have usually worked hard at it and maybe had some previous internet experience before they started out trying to make it online. They may also have had some help in the form of coaching or mentoring. They may have been able to spend many hours working online because they had no regular job.
The Truth
Simply working hard though does not necessarily result in success. ‘Work smarter, not harder’ is advice that you will often see. There are so many aspects of internet marketing that successful internet marketers usually outsource many of the tedious and repetitive tasks.
Paying someone else to do the mundane parts of your business or things you are unable to do is known as outsourcing. If you are not technically minded, for example, you could hire someone to build websites for you. This does not mean that you have to have an employee working with you at home. There are plenty of online services that specialize in finding people to work for you from a distance. People as far afield as India and the Philippines are keen and eager to pick up this sort of work.
Do your due diligence Any make money on the web opportunity you see advertised needs careful scrutinized before you invest any of your money or time. There is no doubt that some of these are genuine businesses. But, in many cases you can find yourself in competition with thousands of other people all trying to sell the same service to the same people. You need to develop a way to stand out from the crowd.
The secret
The real secret to making money online is to copy successful people. Search out some of the most successful marketers and take some time to watch what they do. Sign up for their free reports and watch how they sell to you and copy the formula. You may find that instead of struggling to make money with these money making opportunities, you can develop a very successful online business of your own.
Well folks, that's it for another week. I am almost at the end of my journey so I may do one more post before I end the journey.
Take care and don't forget to share this with your friends.
Cheers,
Richard J

My Journey is Full On
Another week goes by and still knee deep in it! That is work, Internet and building new website. I did mention something about this in one of my earlier posts. Well I must say now that I have the server on my own computer, it is most rewarding to begin learning and building a website at the same time. I really do enjoy playing around on the internet and exploring all of the options that it has to offer. It doesn't matter your age, there is still lots to know and learn for all of us.
As the article below relates to Affiliate Marketing, I once again say, that I think this is the easiest as well as the cheapest way to get started making money on the web. Don't expect instant returns though, again I say that it takes a lot of effort and work. My personal goal is to be making a return on my investment in two years from starting.
Please have a look at this article I found for your perusal this week.
With the recent rise of the affiliate marketing industry as a true online wealth building powerhouse, a steady stream of aspiring entrepreneurs are taking full advantage of the affiliate marketing boom.
For the companies with product to sell, affiliate programs allow them to greatly increase product exposure on a paid for performance commission basis.
For newly inducted online entrepreneurs, affiliate programs represent a real opportunity to make serious income online without much of the risk, research or investment associated with product development and placement.
While securing a solid financial base through affiliate programs, new online marketers also manage to hone their skills among the marketing elite of e-commerce.
Besides the financial aspect, affiliate marketing also provides a golden opportunity for those looking for long term gains and high end profits, to gain the experience necessary to take full advantage of all the unbelievable benefits the net has to offer.
This kind of experience has indeed put many on the fast track to building their own online empires one affiliate marketing program at a time.
Of course there is always the matter of deciding which program is right for you. There are as many options available as there are stars in the sky.
Be sure to do your homework to determine what your potential program has to offer. Even the best compensation plan won’t mean much, unless the product boasts a fair amount of demand, just as the hottest selling product should provide a fair return on your time and effort in making each sale.
Once you’ve chosen your affiliate marketing program and got down the basics of promoting your products and collecting reasonable rewards for your efforts, you’ll likely have no problem duplicating your success with additional products.
As you manage to continue to build your online empire you also have the option of creating your own products and services to leverage all your hard won experience and know-how.
This is by far the most easy to follow blueprint for success online.
First, gain knowledge and experience with little to no risk marketing affiliate products.
Once you have a formula that works, repeat your success with additional products.
Finally, gain the maximum leverage for you knowledge and expertise by creating and selling your own products or services.
Lastly, you may consider creating your own affiliate program to further increase your marketing exposure.
So, for those of you who are considering the possibilities, consider this. With the incredible amount of commerce that takes place online, some analysts estimate that those sales account for less than 5% of all transactions.
Ecommerce is still a relatively new commercial outlet that’s already revolutionized the way the world now does business. In the years to come many more fortunes will be made online than in any other sector.
The next incredible success story the world hears about could very well be your own.
If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.

Making Money on the Web - My Journey Forward
Hello again from sunny Perth West Australia (still here). Well another eventful week and more friends found on Face book as well as Twitter. It's good to have lots of people wanting to be friends and followers. I just hope I can give something to those who are looking. Remember that this blog is all about helping those who want to go a similar path as I.
This week I decided to install a 'Server' on my computer. Okay you ask, why. Well I am building web sites and not all of them require a hosting account just yet. One reason is that if you want to build a web site, normally you would start by getting a 'Domain Name like: http://yourwebsitename.com Then you would get a 'Hosting' Account. Then, a web site can be built using programs that come with a hosting account.
So, Look at it this way, build your site on your computer for free, using the same programs the hosting account is charging you for (monthly fee) Now this your paying for eventually, when your site is ready to be published. But at least your not paying the hosting account while building your site.
Well anyway, some people would think that's a good way to firstly, save some money, and secondly, to learn site building and web host.
This week I have downloaded a Server to my computer called xampp this is free and highly recommended. Now that I have that installed, I will be installing a website building program like Joomla 1.5 to work with. Maybe next week if I have time.
Here is an article I have found for this weeks post, enjoy:
When a person is retired, they may find that the money they have saved and the money that the government gives them is not enough. They will need to supplement this income but how? A retiree does not necessarily want to go back into the workforce. After all, who will hire someone who will not likely be working for a very long period of time? Most employers are looking for someone that they can count on to be there for many years to come. This means that an opportunity to make money online may be their best option.
Throughout life, many people look forward to the day when they will be able to retire. They work hard trying to make a living and putting money away for that day when they will be able to sit back and enjoy the rest of their life. However, it can be difficult for a person to put away enough money to survive and with the uncertainty of the Social Security program; they may not get much if any help from the government. Supplementing the money they have saved with a way to make money online can be a great way for a retired person to make sure they have enough to live off of.
Finding the Right Opportunities for Making Money Online
Many of the opportunities that exist to make money online are generally things that do not require a lot of know how or effort. Many of them will take a little bit of your time but with the proper instruction, you will be able to supplement your retirement income in no time at all. The great thing about some of these opportunities is that you simply need to place ads on the internet and the money will begin to pour in. You will need to tend to the ads in order to continue to make money online and you will need to respond with information when a person pays for the idea that you have to offer but that will be all.

Making Money on the Web - My Journey is Advancing
Hi all, well it's been a b@#@#y frustrating week, not only time wise, (not enough of it) but I hate it when things don't go as I want them to. (Isn't that true for all of us?)
Well I am trying to get a 'share' widget for this blog that has more than just Face book, Blogger, Twitter and email. I did manage the get some HTML Code for one widget that had about eight on it, but when I inserted the code where I was meant to, all hell broke loose, so back to square 1. So it seems making money on the web is still hard work eh?
You'll notice here on this post that I have got 'Zemanta' hope you like it, I'll leave it on for a while and see if it gets any response, and what it can do for me / us.
I've also added a couple of new affiliate site banners for products that I am selling as a 'Making money on the Web' Affiliate Marketer. These companies have an affiliate program and it is very easy to join. Remember you don't even need a professional web site, just a Blog will do like this one or something similar. Have another look at the attached page entitled 'Affiliate Marketing' as well for more tips.
For those of you who have anything to do with diesel motors, you might want to have a look here for some good stuff.
Well here is an article I found for you for this week I hope you like it and get something out of it.
There have never been more people interested in learning about making money on the web than today. The good news is, there have never been more options regarding making money on the web, as well. If you have had a desire to make money on the web, you have an unprecedented number of selections in how to proceed.
Some common methods to make money online these days is to get paid for surfing the net or completing web surveys. It’s quick cash, but definitely somewhat limited in terms of effort needed. A much less labor-intensive strategy to make money is set up your personal website and sign up for affiliate marketing programs. Affiliate programs are a process developed by business owners that pay you significant commission when you send them paying customers via your website. It’s a win-win situation for merchants and affiliate marketers, and a powerful way to make huge cash online in a short time.
Don’t worry, setting up a website of your own has never been cheaper or faster. And in these days, you don’t even require your private website at all to make money online. You can take advantage of various strategies and procedures that can get you started making money on the internet instantly.
In order to get started on your journey to making money on the internet, you should first be natural in your expectations. Keep in mind that making money on the web is just like making money in any other business — you will typically begin with small and slowly develop your income in the future as you get better at it. It is very rare for people to start making millions of dollars online in just a year (although it has been done!).
One great point about making money on the web, is that the cost of entry is very less. It’s possible to start out totally in the black, without needing to spend money on any upfront expenses such as office space or supplies. All you actually require is a computer and an Internet connection. And you can do everything alone; you don’t need to hire staff or depend on someone else.
It is important however that you don’t let a negative mindset keep you back. One common response to the thought of making money on the web is, “I don’t believe I can” or “It’s not possible.” The most vital keys to making money on the web is to believe that it can be done, and that you can do it. Most people don’t even attempt, or just give it a poor attempt and give up too soon.
It’s a truth that lots of people are making money on the web these days even though many more believe that it simply cannot be done.
The online world has significantly improved many people’s lifestyles around the globe. It’s the one method to make money that doesn’t rely on education level, or people connections, or status, or even knowledge. If you have the interest and willingness to learn new things, you also can participate in this growing trend.

Making Money on the Web - My Journey Onward
And yet another week goes by! Well it certainly gets more intruiging as time marches on. This week I have started to learn the act of building web sites with CPanel, and I must say it;s quite easy to handle and I will show you later on what I may accompish using this program. There is also anothe program which came my way this week, http://timmyurl.com/pgjkt which is very impessive.
I have also added lots of Links for you to check out on the right side of the Blog, so please have a look at them and perhaps make some comments! (Or even purchases)
Anyway, here is this weeks article about making money on the web:
Affiliates Should Set Realistic Goals
Posted by Joe on July 25th, 2010
When starting out as an affiliate promoting someone elses product or website it is normal to swing for the fence. However, this can eventually end in failure. Setting realistic sales and income goals can actually motivate and ensure longevity. For example everyone wants to make a million dollars and retire early. This is achievable if you set your goals realistically. The Internet is the grand illusion that paints this portrait of instant riches to the average online marketer. Newcomers often think they will see immediate income and be able to retire in 3-6 months. While this has happened for some the majority need a 3-5 year plan for success. The Internet guru’s and scam artists can be blamed for this tragic reality.
It is safe to say your first few months in business will be trial and error, learning as much as you can about marketing online and off and figuring out what works. Everyone should have a marketing budget and stay within that budget and grow advertising expenses as the profits start to come in. Add your credit card payments from month 3-6 and then your utility bills to month 6-9 and then the grand daddy of them your entire mortgage by month 12. Even if you just made an extra $300 a month and never added any more income, that could be used to accelerate the pay-off of debts and then put into a IRA to build retirement income. Add an extra $100 to your monthly credit card payment and you can pay it off in 1-2 years as opposed to 15-20. The power of making extra money online is all in how you look at it. Keep your day job, set realistic income and sales goals, track them daily, weekly, monthly and yearly and you will see your income grow and grow.
A case in point is someone trading in car rental and auto insurance. He studied some affiliate programs ahead of time and achieved great success in his business. He’s thinking of offering services in insurance quotes as well.
Well people, I hope you got something from this weeks post and don't forget to comment! Until next week,
Cheers,
Richard J
If you decide to get into Internet Marketing, then this is a must for you to use, as you will no doubt want to make some of this as you go along.
I have also added lots of Links for you to check out on the right side of the Blog, so please have a look at them and perhaps make some comments! (Or even purchases)The other thing I will be doing is adding a page to the blog called retirement income. Each week I will feature an article I have found on the web, although it may not be specifically related to making money on line.

Making Money on the Web - My Journey is moving on
Well this week has been busy again with no end of things happening at work and the usual million emails to get through. I do want to say, that since starting the blog I think the most emails that I have received, are to do with 'List Building'. I do believe I have mentioned this before. Now I know that a list is essential for getting traffic to your site, but hell there are thousands out there that want to sell you programs for doing this. Well, I'm not ready yet to pay for them. As I mentioned in my precious posts, my main reason for the blog is to find legitimate programs for making money on the web.
I want to continue my theme of 'Affiliate Marketing' and would like to point you to a page here on my blog which is dedicated to Liz Tomey, who is a very well respected Internet Marketer. I will try to bring you a bio on some of the top marketers as we go along. This will give you some insight into what can be achieved with lots of hard work.
There are quite a few programs that I have joined and am affiliated with and here is another one of them that I think you should take a look at. Remembering I am only showing you the ones I have researched and found to be ok.
Well here is an article I found for you for this week:
If you are on the verge of your retirement years it is good to plan ahead so that you will be able to enjoy it more by being able to support the retirement lifestyle that you want. Since it is an acceptable fact that prices of commodities always tend to go up, it is practical then to make sure that you can fill the gap when essential lifestyle expenses exceed your total retirement income. In most cases retired people rely on the funds provided to them by Social Security but these days, retirees admit that it does not support much of a lifestyle anymore and even more so within 3 to 5 years from now. Retirees then should find a way to boost baby boomers earnings to be able to fill the gap between basic retirement income and the retirement lifestyle expenses.
The first thing you need to do is determine how much of a gap you need filling up when you retire. This way you will be able to have an estimate on how much money you should be making as a supplement retirement income. You need to determine a lot of details then such as how much time you have until you retire, how much you have saved for your retirement, how much annual interest you would possibly earn from your savings, how much is your social security and pension plan income per month, and how much you need to spend monthly to be able to have the retirement lifestyle that you want.
Once you have determined the figures, the step that you would need to take next is to determine your options on how to earn some extra dough during your retirement years. The Internet has provided a lot of opportunities available for people who want to work from home and it does not make an exception to anyone in the world no matter what age or what nationality. Never think that you are too old to make money using the Internet.
There are a lot of legitimate home business ideas you can take advantage of in the online industry. Being a retiree, you probably know information or acquired some skills that others would like to know about. You can actually sell these kinds of information online by writing about them to be able to earn supplemental income. People will always search the Internet for information they need so there is indeed a very large target market for you to take advantage of. Best of all, you will be able to work from home with the schedule that you want to have.
Other options you can explore include part-time jobs perhaps with your previous employers, being an affiliate marketer either online or offline, and a lot more. Explore you options and make decisions before you retire so that you will be able to enjoy a lifestyle you want for the rest of your life.

I want to continue my theme of 'Affiliate Marketing' and would like to point you to a page here on my blog which is dedicated to Liz Tomey, who is a very well respected Internet Marketer. I will try to bring you a bio on some of the top marketers as we go along. This will give you some insight into what can be achieved with lots of hard work.
There are quite a few programs that I have joined and am affiliated with and here is another one of them that I think you should take a look at. Remembering I am only showing you the ones I have researched and found to be ok.
Well here is an article I found for you for this week:
If you are on the verge of your retirement years it is good to plan ahead so that you will be able to enjoy it more by being able to support the retirement lifestyle that you want. Since it is an acceptable fact that prices of commodities always tend to go up, it is practical then to make sure that you can fill the gap when essential lifestyle expenses exceed your total retirement income. In most cases retired people rely on the funds provided to them by Social Security but these days, retirees admit that it does not support much of a lifestyle anymore and even more so within 3 to 5 years from now. Retirees then should find a way to boost baby boomers earnings to be able to fill the gap between basic retirement income and the retirement lifestyle expenses.
The first thing you need to do is determine how much of a gap you need filling up when you retire. This way you will be able to have an estimate on how much money you should be making as a supplement retirement income. You need to determine a lot of details then such as how much time you have until you retire, how much you have saved for your retirement, how much annual interest you would possibly earn from your savings, how much is your social security and pension plan income per month, and how much you need to spend monthly to be able to have the retirement lifestyle that you want.
Once you have determined the figures, the step that you would need to take next is to determine your options on how to earn some extra dough during your retirement years. The Internet has provided a lot of opportunities available for people who want to work from home and it does not make an exception to anyone in the world no matter what age or what nationality. Never think that you are too old to make money using the Internet.
There are a lot of legitimate home business ideas you can take advantage of in the online industry. Being a retiree, you probably know information or acquired some skills that others would like to know about. You can actually sell these kinds of information online by writing about them to be able to earn supplemental income. People will always search the Internet for information they need so there is indeed a very large target market for you to take advantage of. Best of all, you will be able to work from home with the schedule that you want to have.
Other options you can explore include part-time jobs perhaps with your previous employers, being an affiliate marketer either online or offline, and a lot more. Explore you options and make decisions before you retire so that you will be able to enjoy a lifestyle you want for the rest of your life.

Making Money on the Web - My journey continues
Sunday 11/07/2010 It's pouring with rain again here in Perth so the Dams are filling nicely with precious water for Summer. Temperatures vary from 0 degrees to 20, so all in all not a bad Winter so far. Ok. well, what have I been up to this week? Not a lot, as I am back at work and that takes priority over my internet stuff. But I still manage to review a few sites and programs, check out some training videos and read untold emails. All in a days work.
I found this program that I really, really like, check out this video then this site
I would like to know what you think of this program and would appreciate comments. I have signed up and will promote it thoroughly.
I have a follower who has her own web site about how to make money
check it out and leave a comment or two.
Ok I have an article by Mike Finding that I think you will like, again leave a comment should you so wish. Here goes:
So, You want to start a Business to Make Money Online?
These days there are likely to be more people needing to look around for different ways to make a living! People in the corporate world, state employment and private industry ALL have to consider the way forward; something they were probably NOT expecting to have to do. Now is a great time to learn to make money from home.
More people these days, including stay at home mums and dads, are turning to a very popular business model - Internet Marketing and learning how to set up a business on the Internet. In this business, there are no bosses or deadlines to meet. In order to succeed, you only need the necessary skills and the will to make it happen.
1. You need to want to LEARN how to make money online!
The ability to find and use new information and learn new skills is really crucial to this type of business. You will no longer be told what to do and when! YOU are the boss and YOU have to manage your time to the best effect.
New skills will be needed; learning what happens on the Internet, how it happens and what you need to do to harness the power of the Internet for yourself.
You have to know what you ultimately want to achieve. Set goals and be prepared to learn and be taught. No matter what your age is - this is a "new" way to work. New skills are required but are NOT as difficult as many people would have you believe!
GOAL SETTING. This is a great skill to master and many people really don't do that. Driving a car, piloting a plane, sailing a boat - you KNOW where you're going. SAME thing goes for any business; including the online business.
"Making Money Online is a skill. Just like plumbing or carpentry. But just like ANY skill, it can be learned" - Chris Farrell
2. You MUST invest time at this
You must invest time and effort in starting this business - like ANY business. Immediate results are very unlikely and you must accept that. The new "processes" and procedures required are skills to learn and they do take time, depending on your personal aptitude and ability to understand unfamiliar terminology. You will need time to make it happen. The fact that it DOES take a certain amount of time certainly will test your will and determination! Just consider the potential life you could have.
3. So you have the will and determination to succeed?
This IS a key to success and results from your desire and passion for the ultimate goals you have set for yourself; if the goals are big enough and wanted badly enough, you will make it work. Working for yourself means that you need to know exactly where you want to be at a future date and what type of life you want to be living. Now that you are "on your own" it will also be advantageous to have a true mentor to help you.
Too many people give up; probably just as they are about to make it. If you really want to make it work for you - you MUST persevere and, despite the inevitable "setbacks" - KEEP GOING!
4. You have to take charge of your life
You are the boss now! Be focused and have a disciplined approach to work. The end GOALS must be kept in mind. Plan your days and list the jobs or skills you are going to set out to accomplish for the day. Follow it through. Don't be distracted. Concentrate and work in an orderly way. This can be a little tricky especially when working at home for the first time - the garden seat and a nice cup of your favourite brew can be a major distraction! Don't get me wrong - take regular breaks and relax. But keep them organised!
"Opportunity is seldom recognized because it often shows up wearing overalls looking like hard work."
5. Attitude is everything. Look forward and enjoy the view!
A positive attitude is a requirement. Set your goals and do not listen to those who would try to discourage you - for whatever reason. You will find that well meaning friends and relatives may try to dissuade you from your path. If your desire and goals are strong enough you will not waver! This is YOUR dream, YOUR business; YOU are the boss and YOU answer to no one but yourself. If you have come out of a structured office or corporate environment this could be a bit tricky to master in the first place. But if you find the right help and keep going the results could be amazing!

Making Money on the Web - My Journey
Here I am back in Oz after my bi annual break in the UK. Do you realise, I left a perfectly good Summer to come back here to this miserable weather? Well I suppose it can't stay at mid 30 degree celsius for always eh?
Making money on the web is turning out to be a very interesting journey indeed. When I started some time ago, I wanted to research programs I found that would be suitable to add to my retirement income . But as I now am 11 weeks into the Blog, it is becoming more and more demanding, because of the amount of programs out there. So, I've decided to concentrate on no more than 20 programs. This will cover selling Physical products, Digital products (ebooks etc) Affiliate Marketing, Dropshipping and Web design & Hosting. There is nothing to stop anyone from incorporating the whole spectrum into one site.
Designing a site to sell all of the products I mention will take some time and I have started on this project today. As I build my site I will take you through the stages step by step with links to tutorials and articles, should you wish to also go down this path. Remember of course this blog and any comments and information contained herein is for newbies like me. If anyone out there reading this material, who wishes to contribute, then that woul be fantastic.
Ok, here is this weeks article about Web Hosting possibilities:
If you’ve been hosting your own sites for any length of time, it has probably occurred to you that you could be making money with web hosting. You’ve managed to get all the systems down, and the web hosting affiliate programs make it very attractive, as they have very high payouts, so why not? Here are several ways you can add passive income to your bottom line by reselling web hosting services.
The first and most obvious way would be if you had your own servers, and wished to rent out space and bandwidth to paying customers. This presupposes that you (or someone who works for you) has the technical know-how to deal with not only an enterprise that can be quite large, but also the various customer support issues that will undoubtedly come along.
Assuming you do, there is also the concern that having a lot of strangers, albeit paying ones, sharing your web space can be troublesome, especially as regards spam and security. The last thing you need is some yahoo (no offense Yahoo) coming along and giving your IP a bad name, and ruining it for everyone, including yourself.
Rather than having to suffer through the pains of endless support tickets and becoming a full-time service provider, I prefer the model of reseller web hosting accounts. These are relatively low price accounts, ($20-$40 monthly) that afford you a certain amount of web space and bandwidth for you to use to resell the web hosting service.
You usually are given great tools and support to do this with: marketing materials, support teams, and technical know-how. You handle the marketing and billing. It’s very close to a passive income model, as most of your duties revolve around processing payments, with as much marketing thrown in as you care to do. You can advertise with simple banners on your site, and if you have a fairly high-traffic site, find yourself making several sales a month. Or you can do the whole marketing campaign route, and do far better.
Another way to get in on some of this lucrative market is to market it strictly as an affiliate.

This way affords you by far the most hands-off way making money with web hosting. You can use PPC, article marketing, social media and countless other ways to drive prospects to your affiliate landing pages, and at usually between $50-$100 per sale, this can add up quite nicely.
Getting involved in creating cash in the web hosting space takes a little patience, as it is a competitive market, but the reward is well worth it! Throw your hat in the ring and see if you can’t ring up some passive income this month!
Ok, thats it for this week, I will keep you posted.
Cheers.,
