Choose an opportunity to earn easy money which has been proven. Look for testimonials and find out whether person who sponsors you into programme will give you help and advice.

Avoid offers to earn easy money which are "time limited". If a programme will not give you time to think about joining it, it probably has something to hide.

Choose a system which offers free instructions on how to earn easy money. Check to see if there is ongoing support from a mentor or by way of a members' forum.

Don't pay for "secrets" about how to earn easy money. Truly, there are no secrets which are worth paying for, all information you need to succeed is available free on Internet, all you need to spend to find it is a little time.

Choose an opportunity where you can earn easy money at a realistic level. Don't fall for a "get rich quick" offer. Earning money from an Internet business is no different from earning money in bricks and mortar world in that you need to invest time and effort to build a business.

Avoid any opportunity to earn easy money which looks too good to be true. If an opportunity looks to good to be true, it probably is (You will hear this said so many times!) .

If you remember these tips and use commonsense when you are looking for a money making opportunity, you will soon find yourself happily in your very own easy money picture. Where will you will be? Maybe on a yacht, or a private beach, or in grounds of your mansion, or please feel free to join me on my porch for some freshly squeezed lemonade; I'm there most sunny afternoons.

There are many Gurus’ out there, and what’s right for one person, may not be right for other.

What you need to do first is to figure out exactly what you want to do to make money. Then research it. Go to library and read up on that Niche (a topic that you are passionate about, know a lot about, and that other people want to learn about). After all, that’s what Internet is all about. INFORMATION!

Once you’ve done that, find someone whom you respect and trust, and listen to and follow their advice. Don’t be afraid to ask questions either. Most of Gurus will help you anyway they can. But don’t ask them to tell you all of their “little secrets”, cause that’ll be like “getting blood from a turnip”; it ain’t gonna happen!!

Questions like, “How did you get started”, or “How can I get more traffic”, will have no problem getting an answer. Ask about some of their strategies and tactics. Buy their courses, if they have one to offer, and study it over and over. They will put “little hints” in there, and more you read easier it will be to spot them.

OK now, don’t go out and hunt down every Guru you can find and ask them to be your mentor. Just find 1 or 2 and learn all you can about them. Read whatever you can and then put a little of his and a little of hers together to make your own. If you choose more than 2, you’ll be right back where you were to start with. With a “duh” look on your face.

This can save lots of time on your part, avoids confusion, and gives you a good place to start.

Once your “creative juices” start flowing, there’s no idea what you might come up with. Be creative; don’t just follow them step by step. Add some of “YOU” in there with it. You might be surprised as to what turns up.

I ended up owning my own website, www.ez2workathome.com geared toward people who want to own their own home based business.
