My journey - The end is almost in sight

Hello and welcome to this weeks post. I have been really busy this last week, as I surge ahead building two websites. One for my friend Ray, who has a trucking business and the other is my new global shopping site find it here It is filled with great shopping links, including Amazon. There is also a page dedicated to Affiliate Marketing with lots of links to great programs. This has been a culmination of months of preparatory work and research. Hopefully this will save you lots of time and energy in looking for either items to purchase or programs for making money.  I have always indicated in my previous posts, that Affiliate Marketing is the way to go. So please check out my new site and sign up to any or all the Affiliate networks I have provided. 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.
Unlike the older online business models which would call for the tedious tasks of website design as well as product design and placement, the affiliate industry allows marketers to generate significant revenue with hardly any setup cost.
Successful online business owners, the savvy bunch that they are, recognized the great potential such a hungry and egger sales force presented.
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.

Be back soon with another post.

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:

How To Make Money Online By Supplementing Your Retirement Income

Online Marketing And Additional Income
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.
