It seems that people are so conscious with their budgets now days that even ads are not getting clicked anymore! The people who used to pay $99 for ridiculous get rich e-books have somehow vanished from our planet and moved on…

Cashing in on the Internet a few years back was child’s play. In a couple of days you could slap a website together and be making money within weeks. Times are rough, times have changed!

Many websites promising to make you rich still exist, but the schemes remain unchanged through time. Let’s take a quick look at your options:

The MLM option is one that never goes away. Disguised in one way or another, the basics still remain the same. Buy something for a fee, and then get others to do the same. Everyone will share a piece of the pie, while the owner gets the biggest piece.

Another old concept that is still around is the get paid for… clicking ads, answering surveys, reading emails and yes stuffing envelopes believe it or not! All these get rich schemes come back again and again under new domain names, graphic designs and marketing text. But, none of these are really worth your time!

Let us not forget those thousands of e-books out there promising to make you rich through adwords and affiliate programs. Only those selling these books might make a dollar or two, you probably will not.

The most recent money making opportunity to rise from the pack is hosting your own blog site. Of course this means you’ll need to take time off your busy schedule to write articles. Most blog sites are monetized via advertising, which means that several years from now you could have made $10. Of course, getting those ten bucks may be harder that it seems since most advertising companies have a minimum payment threshold, usually $50.

So, how do you make money online?

If your financial resources are unlimited, it’s real easy. Get a group of programmers, graphic designers and marketing specialists. If you’re broke like the rest of us, you just may not like the answer. To make money online, it takes a lot of hard work, dedication and most importantly… patience!
