I began internet marketing at the beginning of 2008, and quite quickly progressed into making a full time income from it, allowing me to quit my day job. Being quite sceptical of the whole thing to begin with, I was surprised when my first pay cheque arrived for $1000. Suddenly the whole online ‘money making phenomenon’ was real to me, not just some myth that people spoke about.

I now run a large number of websites, all marketing different products, and have been one to finally learn that yes, you can make money online, however what I have learnt is that it’s possible only through hard work, commitment and determination, and not through any over night course.

People sometimes ask me what course I recommend to learn how to make money, and I always refer them to Wealthy Affiliate. This online money making university teaches you just about everything there is to know about running an online business, and will teach you working strategies to make money on the internet, whatever your level of experience may be.

If there’s one piece of advice that I can give you for your internet marketing journey, then it is this: Don’t, absolutely don’t, give up. Most people fail at running an online web business simply because they give up. If you don’t give up, then all I can say is that eventually you should succeed. Apply what you know, do your research, find a target market, and create a well ranked site that offers some product to that target market. That’s all you need to know to make a living off the internet. Of course the finer strategies involved in doing this can at times seem difficult, but perseverance, above all things, pays off.
