I get a lot (and I mean a lot!) of people emailing me the same question: "I want to make money but how do I do it?" and my response is generally very similar "How badly do you want money - REALLY want to make money or do you just 'think' you want to make money?" Yep, there's a significant difference.

You see most people 'think' they want to make some money but when it comes down to actually discovering what it is they need to really do to get the money they thought they wanted, their 'want' for the money goes somewhat lame. What people should be saying is - I want to make money and I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to get it!" (of course within legal, moral and ethical grounds). It's the 'do whatever takes' commitment that will define you from the huge masses that just 'want' money.

So, assuming you have the 'whatever it takes' factor, what can you do to start making some money fast? How do you really get the money coming in quickly?

Let's address one myth up front right now. There are many people proclaiming the virtues of the internet as a way to make big money quickly "I put a website up with my XYZ wonder product and I was a millionaire by 4pm!". Well I will tell you that simply does not happen. Even the individuals that claim incredible results in a very short time, and can apparently prove it, are not telling you the whole story - much more likely is they spent months building, developing and testing their product launch; they probably spent months building their contact base to have huge amounts of business partners to help launch the product; they more than likely spent months working on the promotion and PR rollout ready for the big day they launch, and then when it all comes together in one big bang, they have the audacity to say "aren't we great in what we created in a single day". Start recognising there is always more to a story than you are often told and in my experience rags-to-riches stories very rarely happens. Our own personal rags-to-riches story took almost 2 years of massive, ongoing, consistent flippin' hard work.

But, even though the overnight-success-story happens very infrequently, there still IS money to be made with your own internet business, if you know what to look for and what to focus on.

If you want to make money right now, and need to make it fast, it is very possible and you can earn certainly a few hundred dollars a day (refer to our recommendations).

If you are looking to develop a longer-term bigger business, you will need to start developing your own website presence, and in turn start developing your own products to sell. With your own web site, selling your own products, the financial rewards are clearly much bigger than simply selling someone else's perhaps as an affiliate. It takes more effort, more learning, and more resources but the rewards in the end over the long-term are there.

In conclusion realise there are things you can do to make money quickly using your computer from home, but choose them wisely; don't believe all they tell you on their colourful websites - take guidance on what opportunities work, and what ones are the best. Then, when you pick one, you will know your time, effort and energy is invested wisely.
