From my personal experience, I understood that make money online is not an easy work. To be successful, we need to have certain knowledge, a bit of effort is necessary. Staying focus and concentrating is important, otherwise, we'll just wasting times and money. However, trial and failure are also part of being success, to be able to make money online.

When someone try to promote their products or programs and mention that you (the target) can quickly and easily make money online with this, I do not think this is the truth. Make money online is not a easy work. My conclusion based on my own personal experience.

From the past 5 years, I have tried so many times to setup a home base internet business but frustrated, I always failed. I lost lots of money on e-books, software, subscription fees, but I still could not make any money, not a single cent (actually, I made a few bucks with Google Ad sense). So what had I done wrong?

When I started out with my first home base internet business, I was taken up an offer of having my own website build within 24 hours which was ready to earn residential incomes and maximize profits with 5 others affiliate programs. To be honest, my first website was cool. However, my credit card started to feel pain. My first payment was to buy a domain name and a hosting account. Then, by following what we called step-by-step instructions, I began my quest by joining affiliate programs (I have to pay to become a member by some of them).

Then, I needed to join and opened an account to have an auto responder. Again, I have to pay an upgrading fee. Then, the next instruction was buying leads to generate an opt-in list. Next, I needed to advertise to Google ad words and several pay-per-click programs. Next, I needed to buy software to submit my e-zine and article.

Next, and next, there were so many things to pay for, and I still had not made any money yet. My credit card was burning with a big hole in it. Make money online was not easy as I thought anymore. The only thing I saw was the website which was built quickly, but I only made other webmasters money, not the other way around. It was a good experience though.

Here came my second attempt. I decided to build my own website. It took me more than a month to learn some basis HTML, and gathered enough resources and content for my website. Learning from the last experience, I tried to reduce the start-up cost as low as possible (it's better if I do not have to pay anything). And I had my own website personally built published to the whole world. I felt proud of my self. I thought: "Now, I am ready to make big buck!"

Two weeks later, I still had not received any notice that I got payments yet. I wondered what was going on. I checked my website status and saw only a few people visited my website, about 20 or 30 a day. "What is happening? Why don't people come to see my art of work?" The website was beautiful. The content was deep, but still no one was coming. I went to a forum and posted a question. Then, I understood. I needed to build up traffic to my website. Even if I have a website, but if I do nothing, then no one will know about it.

There, I again learned a new thing. From here on, I will not going to continue with my tedious internet business history. However, from those experiences, I started to understand that make money online surely is not an easy work. There are so many new things to learn, many things you need to know before commencing any type of home based internet business. If you are not fully prepare, your chance of success will be very low. You are just wasting your times and money.

Nevertheless, the internet is a gold mine. I believe that if I keep trying, one day I will be success. But please believe me, even though you can quickly setup a home base internet business with any niche interest to you, however hardly there are any business opportunities which can really make you money online quickly. That is right, the process of making money may be simple to follow, but it may not be enough to make you money over the internet. Sometimes, you need to exercise your common sense, patience, stay focus, trying for yourself, learning from mistakes. The ultimate goal is to earn our shares with this gold mine - It's now your turn to make money online, and better to watch your steps.

Read Diary Of A Big Man, a blog of an internet newbie sharing personal thoughts, experience, and resources on making money online.

I always wanted to be a full time mom, but at the same time I needed to make money. I tried to work outside the home, but that definitely did not fit into my vision of being a mom. My children hated it when I could not be there when they needed or wanted me, so I needed to find an alternative to making money. So having a computer and an internet connection I figured I could make money online.

Where would I begin? I knew nothing about making money online or where to begin. I did a lot of research before I did anything. I knew I did not have money to start a big online business. I could not invest in a wholesale business. Nor did I have room to store tons of products. I took my time researching chat rooms and forums on making money online. I listened to what people were saying and what mistakes they had made in starting there work at home business. Researching was key for me to try and avoid the mistakes others had made.

So after extensive research I decided affiliate marketing was the way I would go. I could sell other peoples products for free and make huge commissions. I needed to find a ready made business that I could promote that had all the web design and products included. That was harder than I thought. I wanted this to be my own business. One that I had control over that I could optimize and change according to my personality. Most of the ready made turnkey websites could not be altered. I definitely did not want a cookie cutter site that there were ten thousand other sites just like it. Search engines hated sites like that. I would never succeed in a business model like that. No one can.

I also needed a business that had superior support. This was probably the biggest asset to finding a business. I knew nothing about web design or advertising or auto-responders or html. I was a total newbie. I needed some one to take me by the hand and spell everything out to me, step by step. Today you do this. Tomorrow you do that and so on and so on. I basically need to be told, “Do this and you will make money online.”

That is how green I was and sometimes still am.

I did not have time to play at learning a business for I needed to replace my income right away. If I were to quit my job, to be home with my children, I had to have a business ready to pull income in quickly.

The research I had done early on paid off. Going into forums, such as the Warrior Forum, I was able to find a perfect business model for me. They had a Plug-in Profits section that had tons of people just like me. The people in there seemed sincere in there willingness to help each other succeed. The people in that section wanted everyone to help out. Some of the internets top gurus were in there actually caring that you succeeded.

Today I do consider myself a success story. My business runs pretty much on auto-pilot and the money has more than replaced my income from my job. The sky is the limit when it comes to making money online. I now have several different websites and each month seems to double the last month’s income. From my first site, I have learned so much. I was fortunate to have started where I did. I hear of so many people failing at trying to make money online it makes me feel so bad for them. I only wish they had found what I had.

Today I am a full time mom and loving every minute of it. My children are so happy knowing that I am there for them. Our time with our children is so short. I do not want to miss out on any of there joys or there struggles. Even my husband, who is an engineer, is thinking of walking away from his career to join me in making money online. We will be totally debt free by the end of this year. With my husband joining in on this internet business our income will skyrocket. We will also be able to all vacation when we want as a whole family.

This is why I make money online. I am free to be me and free to be a full time mom.
