But as with anything that sounds too good to be true (especially on the internet), one can’t help but ask – is this affiliate marketing thingy for real? Is this my key to financial freedom? Or is it another well-designed gimmick meant to rob me of my hard-earned money?

There’s no doubt about it – there are affiliate marketing training and membership programs that do work and deliver. They will teach you the ins and outs of the biz…prepping you for the real affiliate marketing world. HOWEVER, just like anything else – there is a flip side to the coin.

Real lies and false claims – the internet is riddled with these. Unfortunately, the affiliate marketing business is not an exception.

Think about it – how hard is it to piece together an e-book that contains nothing but re-hashed material that you could get for free…get a graphics designer to give it a nice and eye-popping cover and sell it for a hundred times its worth?

Not too hard I’d say! And people all over the globe – including those affiliate marketing gurus and experts that you are worshipping, are doing this dirty trick day in and day out to rake in buckets of dollars that came from the pockets of unwary affiliate marketing newbies like you.

What about building a ‘Members Only’ website that contains ‘all the tools, tricks, and techniques to make thousands of dollars’…information which are nothing special compared to those found for free in the forums and make-money discussion groups?

Get this – anyone can call themselves an expert in affiliate marketing. Anyone can build an impressive and professional-looking website with today’s website-building technologies. Anyone can claim to have the ‘secret sauce’ that you need to finally transform you from a penniless chump into a Don overnight.

“But what about those testimonials they have on their website? What about those great reviews about their affiliate marketing programs, techniques, and tools?”

While there are legit testimonials out there, you should understand that they can be easily fabricated! You should always do your best if they’re from real people…and not just from an image with impressive paragraphs attached next to them.

Believe me or not, this is illegal but nobody has the time or the resources to track them down…let alone prosecute them. The end result? The clever webmaster and greedy affiliate marketer get away with it…and with your money!

Think about it – nobody wants to spend the rest of their lives working for the ‘man’…putting up with their boring nine to five. However, I’m sure you have a lot of questions about making money online – how it works, what to do, what factors to take into consideration, and everything in between.

And that’s what this article is all about! I’ll be answering the top 3 make money online questions asked by newcomers in the biz like you…

What is the number one factor to consider when making money online?

It doesn’t matter if you’re using Adsense, selling your own digital or physical products, using PPC marketing, article marketing, etc. you need to have a concrete traffic generation plan…PERIOD! Think about it – if you don’t get any traffic, who will buy from you website? Who will click on your ads? Who will fill up your referral form?

I’m sure you get my drift.

What technique should I use to make money online?

The answer – it depends…it depends on what resources and skills you have. There are a number of money making methods that you can take advantage of.

If you already have a website with a couple of articles and pages on it (and if you are serving a high paying niche), using Adsense is highly recommended. If you don’t have any experience, website, or product to sell online, you could go for affiliate marketing. There are a number of free web 2.0 platforms that cater to the beginning affiliate marketer. The latter is also perfect if you want to make decent amount of cash without any hassle whatsoever.

How much money can I make?

There are people claiming that they’re making $1000/day or even more! And the truth is – that’s very achievable…PROVIDED that you have the determination and resources to back your money making dreams up! The amount of money you could make from the online world is literally endless. Think about it – you have billions of people as potential clients. After all, the net is not called the World Wide Web for nothing!

Just be wary of those people claiming to help you make thousands of dollars a day, without spending a dime, and while sleeping. Chances are, they’re lying…and they’re about to scam you!

Last month I did not post the income report but this month I am posting the income report. Last month I made some good affiliate sales but did not make much income from adsense because I am not displaying adsense from few days on my blog. I gained lot of knowledge about making money online and learned few things about black hat method. Later I will discuss what is blackhat? It is not important what we have learned it is important to put the trick in to play. My last wish is to learn PPC marketing and few things about black hat method.
