First I want to tell you I don’t believe it is possible to “make money fast”, online or off. Any business, online or off, takes time to build and to see profit. I do believe that if you want to make money faster than you need to spend a little, but, as I will show you, you can do it with no cost to you, it will just take longer.

About 95% of programs out there are scams and many advertise that you can “make money fast”, but first give us your credit card number. This leads me to my first tip:

Never join a program that wants a payment upfront. I don’t know about you, but I’m much more confident joining a program that tells me I can make money and don’t have to pay for it. It shows me company is “real.”

Get a Website You joined. Ok, next step. You now have something to sell or promote. But how? With a website. You need to show people what you are selling or promoting. Some companies give you “gateway” sties and that’s good, but not good enough. You need another avenue to “show” or link to these sites. These sites alone will not make you any money. There are many of free hosts out there that provide free web space and html editors.

When looking for a place to host your free site you have to keep a few things in mind. How much space will they give you, do they put ads on your site, and do they have their own program to help you make your site if you don’t know html. Here are some free sites but there are others:

Tripod Geocities Angelfire

Keep in mind that most free sites WILL put ads on yours. Because of limited space you are going to want to upgrade to a better web host…one that you will have to pay for, after you start making money with your business.

Now we will talk about how to advertise your website.

Reciprocal Linking This is simple but time consuming. Even if you spend money on your business this is something you are going to want to do. This is what helps get your page listed higher in search engines.

Can your family actually be jealous of an inanimate object? Well sure, look how many people complain that:

You spend too much time on that tv? Why don't you just marry tv !! You are always working on that car, you love that car more than me!!

Yada, Yada, you get idea.

We may have all at one point in time said one of those words, so why should this be any different for computer.

With computer, you can do so much with it, whether you are operating a business or not, possibilities are endless, so therefore a lot of time can be spent on computer and you may not even realize it.

Remember when internet first became popular, and news would talk a lot about how many people spent so much time getting "hooked" that their marriages, and family relationships were suffering.

Employers had to put out tons of memo's and new rules regarding employee use of internet on Company time.

How many times when you were bored at work did you find Something to do online. Check your email, play a game, surf and shop, etc.

The plain and very simple fact is that net is very addictive, I can easily have my mind set to take care of one task on computer, and next thing you know an idea pops up to surf, and by that time a few hours have passed... Now what was I supposed to do in first place??

It is almost human nature to worry about these things, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Just as how you can have a good friend that you spend a lot of time with and maybe a spouse gets jealous, same can happen with a computer.

Of Course, I am not just talking about spouses, children can have those same feelings.

If your child needs some help with homework or something in general but you are always putting it off because you have to do something on computer, those feelings can erupt. Anytime you are not trying to balance your daily tasks, then this can be a problem

Just because YOU have a computer now doesn't mean that you are now Information KING /QUEEN almighty.

There are still some things that computer can't teach us... If your family absolutely cannot handle amount of time you spend online and they resent everything about it, then that is time for extra help, a counselor of some sort of any professional that you can find to help find out why it seems like they are not happy when you try to be happy.

If they don't care what you do online, but are there to ask you how much money you have in Paypal, then its time to get them more interested in YOUR business.

Incorporate all benefits of your business to them, let them know of any and ALL parts of your business that your family may want to know about.
