With most countries facing or in recession there will no doubt be a large increase in get rich quick schemes involving the Internet/website building.
So I thought I would just like to point out a few personal experiences from my last 5/6 years on the internet.
Firstly I do earn all my income from the Internet and although not huge it is presently enough to live on.
I don’t consider myself a expert at making money on the Internet, and maybe if I were I could make much more.
I have over the last 6 years bought many ebooks that promised to show me how to make maximise my income from affiliate programs or Adsense and although some have been well written none (in the last 3 years) have shown me anything that I didn’t already know.
There is enough good free information available/low cost on the Internet without having to splash out on $100+ info courses that teach you things that you will probably never use, or if you do, you will soon get bored with it.
I have two main sites that provide most of my income and I enjoy working on them today, even after 6 years. I have tried to develop a few others that I thought would be good income earners but I lacked enthusiasm for the topics and they have long since been retired.
So if I was to give one tip to anyone starting out and looking to make an income from a website, it is simply to create a website on a subject that you really enjoy, create useful quality content and worry about the money later on.
It may make you a bit of money, a lot of money or anything in between but at least you will get satisfaction from it.
Whatever you do don’t believe that someone is going to let you into the killer secret that will make you lots of money while you play volleyball on the beach.
There isn’t a secret formula, and if there was if they let you know about it,as it wouldn’t be a secret.
In the coming months you will no doubt receive many enticing offers, and as tempting as the offers appear I would urge you to be cautious.
It is possible to make money online. It is possible to make a living. However it does take work and it does take time.
One of the most useful and honest tips I’ve read in a long time, as in any business follow – your passion

Great post!
You’re probably very right, Steve. I keep dreaming about THE niche and loose so much time hesitating and doubting about what to actually DO with the one subject I have a lot of passion for. It’s between: “just go for it and “this will be just a lot of work and I won’t find ways to monetize”.
