I have seen numerous advertisements for seminars selling 'Ways to make money on the Internet while you sit on the beach doing nothing' etc etc and i always wonder why these people running the seminars arn't making more websites since they are 'genius's at it??'

I don't think it's that easy. But that girl did what she liked doing and it came to her and now she's fucking loaded.

So what you're saying is maybe I could start a website where I sit and drink beer and watch sports on webcam and charge a membership fee to "hang out" with me?"

Absolutely.

Running an online biz is the easiest way to make money if you know what you are doing. And even if you don't know what you are doing there are online resources available to assist you.

I have been running an on-line biz since July of last year and I continue to build the biz every month.

Its only the 12th and I have generated over $4,200 so far this month.

Work under 1 hr a day and set my schedule when and how I want.

My goal is to earn 1 mill this year.

And by the end of 2012 over 25 mill.

Only down side is too much spare time on my hands so the days do get bornig.

Yeah. I do freelance web design/development but won't go below a grand for the most basic static site. Unless it's for friends or family, then I won't go below 2 grand.

Affiliate marketing can pull in some good cash if you know what you're doing.

ive ran sites since 98, most important thing to remember
is that if you can't sell in person, you will never sell on the net.
if you don't know squat about seo your a hobbyist.
also the commissions paid for non adult stuff is pathetic.
the commisions paid for adult are shaved. you are cheated on a regular basis.

generated money is meaningless bullshit statement.
note that particular poster will not offer any truthful and meaningful information.

if you can sell the rest you can learn for free on the net

affiliate marketing, your doing the same things, selling the same junk
as billions of others. all for pathetic commisions.
now if you have a unique product or service, you can't help but make money

I've been running an online business for 9 years but I didn't really make it a top priority until 2007 when I was laid off at Alltel.  Its now my main source of income however a large of of the income I make is still from the good old telephone.  

While most small purchases are just point and click, when someone is about to make a major purchase and spend some serious money, 99% of the time they are going to make a phone call and ask a lot of questions.  Its vital to give them the answers they want and not try to just shove them to a website to look for the answers because they'll most likely go to someone else's website.

Even in the age of the internet, the telephone is still king.  If you don't have the customer service skills then you're likely to not do too well.

Yep. Vince is correct too.

People think they'll make a mint merely by having a web presence, and nothing could be further from the truth. For the most part, if you can't sell it offline, you're not going to do well online. There ARE exceptions, of course.

One of my latest client's e-commerce site isn't doing as well as he anticipated with regards to sales figures. Of course he figured as soon as he had some exposure he'd retire off the income he generated from his site. I explained to him how e-commerce would work with regards to proper advertising, both on and off the net, and that it would take time for results to appear. His products isn't one that appeals to a large demographic either, and is more suited for a small-medium sized niche.

I explain this to my clients prior to setting up their e-commerce sites, but they still hold on to their unrealistic expectations. Then again they probably think they'll win the lottery any day now too.

my best friend worked for jeff paul's internet shortcuts program
his infomercials hurt your business in more way than one.
luckily the feds have pressured him enough to all but shut down.
while his next real estate gimmick is brought online  ::)

btw all the real estate scammers on television, work together
under one roof with rare exception

Okay I am thinking a different way.  And how about Mark Cuban or the Zappos guys and many others like that.  Porn was just the first thing came to mind
