How i found out we can actually make money on internet?

When i am in secondary school, one of my friend changed my mentality totally on making money. At that point of time, my mentality of making money is the traditional way. People always said, “You must study hard, then you can get into a good school, then you can find a good job, and your job will pay you well”. Yes! I agreed that is true to an extent. Nowadays, to get employed, people always look at your educational level. BUT, does that mean that if you are not good in studies, you cannot earn lots of money? I can still remember vividly, that friend of mine always used the book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” to prove that to us. Theres also another case study. Have you guys heard of “The Rich Jerk”? He earns tons of money online and he is a dropout. Tons of money as in millions.(Not to mention that there are rumors that he is bankrupt now, LOL). What does this prove?

For me, i prefered my future job to be slack, not too much physical requirements as i am weak (LOL), and most important, to have flexible hours. So, i started researching online for “Slack” jobs and my research came to light that we can actually earn money online. Thats when i am been introduced to online money making.

Infact, during my researching process, i have been taken in (scammed), a couple of times. I joined some scammers program that claim you can earn thousands by doing survey, but you need to pay a certain amount of registration fees. I joined typist programs where they claim to pay you for doing data entry work online. I joined autosurf programs, HYIPS. There may be some programs out there that may be really paying, but i guess i am unlucky, all the programs that i had joined are SCAMS.

So… what i am trying to say is, do not join those programs…LOL. i found out we can actually earn money from internet by selling services, such as webdesign, web development, logo design, marketing etc. So, it will be better to spend your time learning those skills then to waste your time on those programs. If you guys are interested in making money online, selling services, i would recommend joining http://www.namepros.com for a start and then http://forums.digitalpoint.com.

Why i recommend joining namepros first is because, in namepros you earn points called “namebucks” by posting in the forum and those points can be used to exchange for real money or use to register a domain for free.(around 0.02 cents for one post) For me, i spent 3 months posting in namepros, and then registered my first domain name for free, www.worldwinners.info. After that i sold the domain to another guy in the forum for only 10 bucks. (The good thing about these 2 forums is theres a very active buy/sell/trade section that you can sell your products or services.)

Then i bought another domain called www.submit-news.com and developed it into an article directory. And after months of building up the value of the website, i sold the site for 3k. That was my very first sale of website.

I was glad that i enrolled in multimedia and infocomm course in nyp because we get to learn flash, photoshop, programming that relates to what i am interested in. So, if anyone is wondering, am i wasting 3 years in my poly life? You are NOT!. We have now acquired the basic skills, so i think its now a matter of how are we going to use the skills to benefit us. When you think back, why do we study? That is to acquire skills so to get a job and earn money. So, you realised, it is all back to making money. It will be wasting your parents money($6k), if you do not apply what you have learn in school into practical.

If you are interested, join those webmaster forums now! Lets learn together.
