My Journey to Make Money On-Line Pt. 1

That's right, you read correctly, I am not an expert and I am not ashamed to admit it. So, if you are reading this article in hopes of gaining some tried and true proven method to make money online, STOP! You will be very disappointed!

If you are reading this because you are looking for someone who is as perplexed and discouraged with all of the scams and false promises on the internet...by all means keep on, reading on.

WHO IS THIS NON-EXPERT?

Let me tell you a little about me. I taught science for 5 years. I have three children. Last but not least, I want to stay home with my kids. At the same time, I do not want to leave the entire financial burden on my husband. Sound like anybody else out there?

THE TOUGHEST ONE WORD QUESTION-HOW?

How does a person sit home and make a substantial, sustainable income? I have been at this for all of about three weeks now. My mind is in complete overload with all of the information that I have come across. One thing I can definitely tell you with 100% complete confidence is making money on-line takes work. There is no get rich quick method. It has been 3 weeks. I have made $6.31. I am very, very far from rich. Anybody who tries to tell you otherwise is trying to deceive you and line their own pockets.

You see, I am just like you. I do not want to pay money for products that promise instant money overnight. I am trying hard to not get caught up with the newest, prettiest, shiniest product. I must admit that it is hard. Don't you get caught up either.

DON'T DO WHAT I DID

Before you purchase anything, make sure you are familiar with the company's refund policy. Do they offer one? If so, how easy is it to get a refund? If there is a phone number, dial it to make sure it works. Send an email and see how quickly you get a response. These three simple steps will save you a lot of heart ache in the event you need a refund.

START WITH ASSOCIATED CONTENT

As of the publishing of this article, I have earned $6.31 with Associated Content. It may not be much but it will eventually bring a steady income. My goal is to write an article a day. I keep my paper and pencil with me at all times. Any ideas that I have I jot them down. Now, do I use all of my ideas? No, there are a lot that seem great at the moment, but when I sit to write, I think to myself, "What was I thinking?"

When Associated Content put that first $3.02 in my PayPal account I was ecstatic! That was all I needed to get started. This is my fifth article and I have many ideas for more.

IN CONCLUSION

Start with Associated Content. Write what you know about. Write what you have a passion for. Write about what makes you mad, what makes you laugh, what makes you cry. Write, write, and write.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME

I will be keeping a weekly journal on my success. Stay tuned for part two...
