Ever since you first got your computer and plugged it in - you've probably been "at its mercy" - trying to learn a new language of terms and acronyms. You've probably spent a lot of time just "trying to get stuff to work." Well, now it's time for your computer to return the favor!

I wish I could tell you that I have discovered some "magic pill" - some "secret formula" - some "instant wealth" secrets. The fact is, those things just don't exist. What does exist and what does work is inspiration, willingness to do some work, and the desire to try something that is outside of your traditional "comfort zone."

There are all kinds of different ways to make money online. Both with or without your own website.

You don't have to spend a ton of money, either. There is lots and lots of information out on the web about different techniques people have used to become a success marketing products and services over the Internet. I should know - I've probably bought literally 1/2 of them over the years!

Add to the mix the fact that the Internet landscape is changing all the time - while about 85% of the information about it doesn't. There are some basic concepts and ideas that are universal to making money (or marketing products or services) - things that can be applied to both offline and online business.

However, the simple mechanics of HOW to get things going on the Internet, or how to make some money without having to deal with your own website - that's another matter entirely. Because of the sheer number of people that would like to "tell their boss to shove it" and make money from their computer - there are a lot of people who are in things for the "quick buck" and don't really care as long as they get their money.

Unfortunately, it's the people who are looking for some guidance or ideas on how the process works that get "sucked in" and waste a lot of time and money just trying to get their bearings in the first place.

To help end some of the confusion - I've written a FREE eBook called "Jobs Online :: How To Get Your Computer to Work For YOU". This is an easy read, and it lists resources and links to give you an idea of what is available and what kinds of options are out there for making money online. You download the free eBook from: http://www.1clicktraining.com - in the "FREE Resources" section.

As the saying goes "Rome wasn't built in a day." The same is true with making money online. However, once you know what you're going to do - you need to follow through and execute it. If you just read and read and read and never take any action - no amount of ideas will ever help you to actually succeed online. Here's to your success!
