The hallow promises these offers make makes me want to heave. Now don’t get me wrong it is simple to earn money internet, but it doesn’t come for just few bucks or with no effort on your part. No, to be really honest building a organization on the internet, like building a brick and mortar organization is going to require an investment of at least a couple of thousand dollars in startup and then a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars a month in marketing and maintenance.

Just like a real organization.

The get moneyed quick group has tainted the entire home based organization arena, and it’s full time we set the record straight. The MLM industry is partly to blame for the distorted perception with the over zealous members taught to sell the dream ad nauseam, and worst yet to go bug their family and friends to join them in a failing endeavor.

So what does it really take to earn money internet?

Well, in a word: “marketing”… (and of course some hard work)

Obviously a manufactured goods is mandatory, but without marketing, the best manufactured goods in the world isn’t going anywhere. And, fortunately for us making a living internet, marketing on the internet is simple, and once you get is setup correctly, basically hands free.

Marketing on the internet involves two major factors: developing a “sales funnel” and then driving massive traffic to that sales funnel. The bad news is setting up a highly optimized sales funnel is time consuming, and costly, the good news is once it’s setup, you can focus the majority of your efforts on driving the traffic to the front end.

But driving traffic is simple as long as you have some kind of marketing budget to work with. I teach a monkey to generate 2000 leads a month, so as long as the sales funnel is set up to produce consistent results, you should be able to generate a 300% to 400% return on investment. At least that’s what my sales funnel achieves.

Here’s where numerous people get tripped up. They assume that joining an affiliate program or even an network marketing organization, is building a organization. Nothing could be further from the truth. Going down that path alone and you are building the organization of the affiliate owner or network marketing organization, not your own.

Now, I have as part of my sales funnel both affiliate programs, and network marketing companies but they are part of my money making machine, not the sole thing I do. And my sales funnel is setup and controlled by me. There are services to be had that dedicate yourself to in teaching people on how to setup world class sales funnels, and in fact stumble on the right one and you can get a fundamental setup to start profiting with right away.

So of course, you can make money … if you do it right.
