Making Money Online - Favourite Resources

Top resources for Making Money Online

These are the best of the best, Or else they simply would not be here. Ive spent the better part of the last few days furiously tearing through the internet for great resources. The quality of those resources though, has even surprised me. And when you become a member of the first one and see the depth of the free course he offers you'll be amazed too.

Keep in mind I have not yet spent a cent on purchasing products or e-books from any of these websites. Besides, Just mastering the free content alone would take years, and make you more money than you can poke a stick at. So, In order of acclaim, I present you:

The Top Five Most Valuable Online Resources

1. ThirtyDayChallenge
Pardon me while i pick my jaw off the floor where my first thoughts when I stumbled upon this gold mine. Not only is this an ultra succesful online marketer giving away a huge amount of knowledge and expertise for free. No, It's actually a STEP BY STEP process that teaches you everything you need to learn to make money online(Without spending any!) from Market Research all the way through to coming up with your own product.

2. Cwire
Cyberwire covers making a living online and all the facets involved in the process. In depth guides to generating traffic, moneytizing your blog, affiliate programs, hot keywords and much more is available here. If you even have an inkling of interest in making money online this website is fantastic.

3. JohnCow
After you view the websites banner and find it in your heart to excuse the awful pun, This site is actually loaded with value. Yes, they are constantly trying to subtly pimp their affiliates e-books and what not, But judging from the quality of the content on the site I'm guessing these products aren't half bad.

4. ProBlogger
The owner of this blog earns over SIX figures a year BLOGGING, thats right, just through blogging! His site is dedicated to showing fellow bloggers how to add income streams to their own blogs and start reaping the rewards as he does. The amount of valuable information here is just plain ridiculous.

5. WebVenturer
Ed Dale, the creator of the Thirty Day Challenge designated this blog as the Official Resource for notes on each days lessons. Mike Mindel the writer of the blog is an expert Internet Marketer and one of the co-founders of Wordtracker. If you dont yet know what word tracker is or how it works check out this and this.

The Sites that couldnt make the top 5 but truly deserve a mention!

StevePavlina - This Article on StevePavlina.com is what motivated me in the first place to start a blog, The rest of the site is filled with a plethora of marvelous content, albeit on another passion of mine, Personal Development.

AnOwnSite - Another great site on Internet marketing and making money online, It seemed like a shoe in for the top 5 but in the end, It was surpassed. None the less a great resource.

Why You Should Quit Your Day Job

"Luck is Preparation Meeting Opportunity" - Oprah Winfrey

What is the Purpose of this Blog?

It's 4am and Im staring blankly at a word document with my Goals for 2008 staring back at me:

"Make 500$ a week in passive Income."

This blog will cover the learning process Im about to embark on.

Short Term Goals:
  • Figure out exactly How i will make first 10$ Online.
  • Make 10$ Online.

Why am i doing this or, why trade your time for a wage?


From my perspective on the world I see alot of good, honest, hardworking people accepting the "norm". By this i mean trading your time for a wage. To most people this seems perfectly reasonable, Afterall, everyone else does it, Right? Well Im abit of a critical thinker and I feel like alot of these people are getting screwed.

Why should I have to receive a wage proportional to my time? With any depth of thought this system is fundamentally flawed, Your employer doesn't have this limitation, does he? He's earning money all the time, Why not earn money while your sleeping or doing a hobby? Why not earn money all the time? Just because being the humble employee is common doesn't mean YOU should deem it acceptable.

But some employee's make plenty of money!


True? Yes, This is true and good for them, Some are even interested and passionate about their jobs which is fantastic. But the only reason they recieve a generous salary is because someone above them is making far far more, and probably not working half as hard. Moreso, This person or people at the top of the chain have the option of cutting of the employee's "steady income" at a whim. Two words is all it takes, "You're Fired" and suddenly things aren't so peachy. Are you passionate about what you do? Does your job challenge you in a way that satisfy's you in the long term? When you work for yourself you have the freedom to set your own goals and challenges and ultimately please yourself.

Does your job conflict with your deeper values?

Have you ever set aside your dignity to get along or please someone in your work enviroment? Have you ever compromised your self respect or honesty? worse yet does it happen at a more or less regular basis? To me all of those things add up to sacrificing your integrity which is something I wont allow for myself.

What can I do about this?

Well, You can either become the boss yourself or start making an income of other means. You dont have to be employed by someone else or trade your time to earn money. All you have to do is provide some form of genuine value - and people will happily give away their hard earned to you without sparing a thought. All you have to do is spend some time figuring out
Exactly what can you provide? Who will benefit from it the most? And Finally, Provide a direct link between the two.
