I think one of the big things is, Americans have a sense of entitlement.Many people have delusions of grandeur and think their worth more than they really are, despite not bringing anything of real value to the table.

If your living at home, $5 a day isn't that bad, just focus on saving it all, and ways to re-invest it to help you make more $$$.

If you have a Job, your going to need to quit for obvious reasons. First off, if your at work 8 hours a day, thats stunting your growth. Not to mention it kills your motivation, you won't be as tenacious as you would if IM was your only outlet for income.

Look at it like this: as your Skill level rises, and your audience/network expands, so will your income. It's very possible to quadruple your income in less than a few months, while that almost impossible at a job.

Also, Society conditions you to be a coward. We are told to play it safe, and don't take risks, and instead of living your own life, you live vicariously thru the TV. and Being passive weakens your Creative skills.

Entirely true, i ve noticed how i ve tripled my income next month by just doing things a little different. Honestly, IM is not hard is probably one of the easiest things I have done in my life. The secret is that you gotta use your imagination, I use mine everyday and everywhere i go and everything I do i always see money through IM and blackhat thats why its not hard for me to come up with ideas at making money. The only problem i have is my laziness.

If youre not making much money with ONE subject, try doing like 6-7 things that bring in small revenue. Theyll all add up to a nice sum, and i know what youre saying "that could be a lot of work". Well 1. Do you want the money or not? 2. You're SITTING on your ass while you're making money.

Its actually best to do not more than 2 projects at a time. Preferably 1 after its been thoroughly tested. You only have limited hours in the day and spreading your time and energy over 6-7 things will pretty much ensure your failure while focusing on one thing increases your chances for success.

Case in point: Google. They started off with one thing (search) and did that one thing really well.

Are you telling me you have to use adwords and spend your credit card money?

or just post banners on blogs and hope people click and fill in offer or buy?

just continue your work consistenly.... do what method works better and expand it... just wait and the success will come to you...

The only somewhat success I've made is in autoblogs and thats like $5 a day.

Thanks.

I'd be very grateful If i get that same amount everyday.

I have been trying to make money online for over 5 years now.. here are a few things that I learned

Build solid relations with people, don't try to scam them, most people are NOT idiots. If they want unique articles or whatever, provide what you promised. Building relations will take you a long way, I have a client that I have been working with for over 4 years.. I made hundreds of $, and still am. It REQUIRES WORK, nothing comes for free.

READ, READ, READ, TRY, FAIL, TRY, FAIL, TRY, FAIL, TRY, SUCCEED. The one time that you succeed, it will be worth it.

Never give up. I had an adsense account sitting idle since 2006, the first withdrawal was made a few months ago (received the payment January 2010), now I am making over $300 monthly.

Don't be lazy, it will take you nowhere.

I am not making bank everyday, but I am earning passive income which covers most of my bills (mostly car related lol).. it starts from $0.

Scaling up takes time, it's not as easy.. so if you are making $5 a day from autoblog.. create another 10 autoblogs.. 8 of them will fail, 1 will succeed and the other will make you a few cents a day. Keep in mind that $1 is made from 100 cents! A few cents a day will make that $100 that you want.

Ow well, I think that sums it up.

Raise your hand if you made 100 dollars a day the first day you started out doing IM.

I believe the 99.9% of the people who make money online (it doesn't matter how much) have been in your shoes.

You didn't learn to ride a bike in a day. You had to follow the instructions, try, try, try, learn the tecnique by doing it, experiment, try, improve your technique and keep riding that motherfucking bike, even if your arms and legs were dirty of dust, covered with your own warm blood and it was freakin painful.

It takes time to learn the how-to. Years, for most of the people, myself included. And you keep learning new stuff every single day.

I'm making 2 dollars a day right now

With wich method?O.O

well, i tried posting a rather informative article for you on how to make good money, but i am repeatedly being accused of spamming and it didn't go thru.

sorry. i have no idea why. i mention no brand names and have no links.

It's not accurate to say that whenever you make money, you should just repeat your method and increase your earnings. This is a very naive understanding of how markets work and does not apply to every niche and situation.

For instance, Joe is making a blog earn $10 a day. It might take most of his time to make that $10 a day so he can't expand things. If he autoblogs, he might have a system that only enables him to make X amount without running into trouble. Making money online involves a lot of details. It's a little tiring to see how many people repeat slogans one every type of thread like this.

Ad-based revenue relies on traffic, which can decrease over time due to Google penalties, SEO competition, and a variety of other factors. Many sites will decrease in profit over time unless they are updated regularly with real content.

But if someone hasn't already, they should try to repeat their success in a specific area. I don't know a lot about autoblogging, myself so maybe massive expansion works with that, but I suspect there are complexities involves or everyone doing it would be rich.
