Greetings, my dear readers and casual visitors to this blog!
In this article I will tell my story of working on the Internet, how I lost a million rubles and explain what you really need to do.
The article will be useful, first of all, for beginners, those who just want to start making money from the Internet, or have started, but little succeeds and cannot decide on the direction in business.

Do I regret that I came to the Internet business?
Of course not.
What do I regret?
The fact that I lost a lot of time was looking for a freebie, a loot button, as it is still customary to speak in moneymaker's slang, while you just had to work on the Internet!

Internet business from scratch where to start - how to start correctly, and not get a false start

The first time in my life I thought about making money on the Internet about 10 years ago in 2007. At the same time when the Internet appeared on my computer. There were much fewer sites on the World Wide Web than now, there was almost no information about earnings at all. I remember that I found some kind of site, hung with banners and teasers (advertising) Christmas tree resting. I dug up a link to the buks (postal service) in it. I registered there, made an electronic wallet.
I remember that the site and all the sites that I visited on the assignment of advertising on it more than information). The most interesting thing is that the virus on such advertisements could be caught easily easier to catch than not.
I walked around the sites, clicked on advertisements, I could still earn some pennies.
I got bored with this business).

For a couple of years, I forgot to work on the Internet.
What did you do?
Played online games. I managed to lose to one for 3 years). Lost a lot of time ... but how did you lose it?
In the game, I met a girl who later became my wife and to this day we are together, although there are no longer two of us in the family, but three;).
The spirit of adventurism has not left me all these 2 years).
After 2 years, I again came with a fishing rod to the Internet business with renewed vigor for real money online.
I started chugging on click-through sites again. I tried all the arsenal available at that time.
I liked seosprint most of all. I worked on it.
During the day I managed to earn 50-100 rubles then it was, what not what, but money.

By the way, a year ago, in 2016, I returned to it again), though not as a performer, but as an advertiser and referrer.
Why don't I work there?
There is no time, and even a hundred rubles a day is not interesting to me now.

I clicked on seosorint, I got bored. And the site itself is littered with advertisements for "real earnings" of 5-10 thousand rubles a month.
What thoughts were there at that time?
I am almost a genius! People earn tens and hundreds of thousands of rubles in the internet, and I work for a penny!
I read and saw enough of "exclusive, classified FSB materials, from a guru," I got smarter twelve times, I realized, it's time to act!

What have I learned and understood "especially valuable?"
You don't have to work on the Internet; all work for suckers needs to be invested.
The best income is on the liability, we are sitting, and the money goes, remember, right? money should work even if there is none).

I remember I started to act ... from games with the withdrawal of money.
Well, why - it's cool! I invested a thousand - another, a month later - another, brought out the invested money from there, and then you will receive money from there all your life! In general, I felt then, Warren Buffett).

It was decided to invest in such projects. I don’t remember exactly how many there were and their name. I remember only 2.
One site, something about apple trees, you plant, harvest, and so on.
Another, I remember very well, is associated with investing in virtual stocks.
I had an excellent relationship with the admin of the last project, no joke, I, the best investor of that project, invested tens of thousands of rubles.
We must give him what he owes, he paid regularly for the time being.
I remember that he called me to another similar project, where he was a co-founder, I wonder how I had enough brains not to invest there).
Of course, then all these projects will be erased from the face of the Internet, but it will be later, but for now, I considered myself the smartest Internet businessman and now it's funny to read this).
Yes, I must also say, I managed to play with magic wallets.

I understood that I had to move on, conquer the planet Earth!
After much research, forex was chosen.
At that time, at that time, it was considered a reliable investment in your future.
Then few people assumed that this is the second "MMM."
Probably, nevertheless, some knew, but were silent, which is otherwise logical.

I understood that I myself would not be able to play there, and why? Work for suckers! And I'm not a sucker, I'm thoughtful.
According to my then considerations, in a couple, three years, I will be able to completely forget about the laborer's work for my uncle's work in the usual sense of the word.

My thoughts at the time were like this.
Why don't others do this?
Not in the subject green yet, not flogged.
I'm in the subject ?! Let others work, but I will build a business and will soon do nothing.

It was decided to take out a bank loan.
How many?
250 thousand, which seemed to me very little.
Well, it won't go like this! For a long time I will increase my capital. We should have taken the same amount!
In general, a floor of wood, in my opinion, should be enough for a start, a successful start, so to speak.

I have compiled a portfolio of 3 investment projects: "Gamma," "FX Vladimir," "Forex Trend."
All projects were flawless. Out of a thousand comments, at most a couple of efficient negative ones.
Does it remind you Sarafanka.com lovers?

The first project was a closed area in which the puffs worked, allegedly 3 people to rip off people. Every week, a report was posted on their website about how the trading on the exchange went.

In the second project, according to his impeccable legend worked Russian trader living in the United States. All his successes on the stock exchange could be learned every week on his website.
However, there was no reason for concern, a maximum of 4 weeks in a small minus for a whole year!

In the last project, though, even he turned out to be a scam, there was an opportunity to choose traders. Traders with a yield of 30-40% per annum from the deposit did not interest me. 100% per year, or better 200-300% - that's a good thing!

I must say, with the last project, I screwed up myself, if I had not chosen aggressive traders, I could have stayed in the black.

What happened next?
About a year later, Vladimir began to delay the payments.
Gamma was abruptly covered up - it was black July 2013.
What happened?
Allegedly, the deal on the exchange did not work, with a delay and most of the money given to the traders to the scammers went into negative territory, which they, of course, promised to return.

What were your feelings at that time?
You know, if you were thrown by a loved one, a girl or a guy, depending on what gender and orientation you are) like a dream. This cannot be - this is some kind of mistake and everything will be fine tomorrow. Of course - this was the collapse of my Internet business, at that moment, which I did not want to admit.

Guys, this is all bullshit, isn't it? Only a weak person kneels, and a strong one goes on, right?) Any decent businessman has at least several times got up from scratch. He turned around, went to zero and got up again. At that time, I thought so).

It was decided to get a couple more credit cards.
Where did the money go?
Mostly for the promotion of VKontakte groups.
Thoughts began to appear in my head that making money on the Internet is not only an investment, it turns out that you also need to work here.

He worked mostly in Vkontakte. He promoted his groups.
Basically, I got subscribers. The first time I realized that everything is not so simple here, when one of the groups gained 30 thousand subscribers. By that time, there were a lot of dogs in her, she could not avoid an automatic filter from contact. The VK filter cleared about 30-40% from the group, there are less than 20 thousand subscribers left.
When a new member joins the community, he is automatically unsubscribed. There is such a Vkontakte filter.
It is set automatically for a week or two.

Realization came, it dawned on me blah that cheating is evil, you need to use legal methods. From the relatively legal, then, it was possible to agree with the admin of the VK community about advertising in his group. Accordingly, you give him money, he, your post. Usually an hour post at the top, 24 in the news feed, then deleted.

Ads were bought in different communities, with varying degrees of success.
The most unfortunate one, where a subscriber cost me 30 rubles. Having figured out what posts the people are biting on, the subscriber began to cost me 1 ruble.

The largest group that I was able to promote is 200 thousand subscribers.
Why did you give up?
I posted a post in the group, some kind of financial pyramid, as I now remember a thousand, they answered me for it. Someone knocked the public out for a month from the search for a contact.
By that time, there was no money for advertising in the communities.
With each new post, more and more unsubscribed than subscribed, that is, the number of subscribers was melting before our eyes.
Against the background of everything else, there was no desire to lead it.

The most successful public was about making money on the Internet, now I would not say that it was), but it was called that.
About 30 thousand subscribers 80-90% of bots.
Advertising for it was ordered with enviable constancy. On average, 3 applications per day, the cost of a post is 50 rubles, on some days 5-7 orders for advertising were received.
Orders came from the sociate exchange, they wrote in a personal.
This public will also be abandoned.
Why?
The VK administration, very much does not like the topic of making money on the Internet, not one, a normal public will not undertake advertising about making money on the Internet. Accordingly, in order to increase the number of subscribers, you need to constantly wind up the group with bots, which threatens with a filter, and can be blocked.
In general, where you do not go, one rake).

Would I go into making money now Vkontakte?
Of course not.
You see, your VK group is not yours at all.
This page of the site is Vkontakte.
How can you build a business on something that does not belong to you?

I did a lot of other nonsense, I think it's not very interesting).

You know, all this mess could have been avoided. There were more than enough prerequisites.
I remember that I ordered a fortune-telling on the Internet on tarot cards).
Success in the Internet business).
They sent and said everything in color as it is.
They don't see any business at my place. It is very risky to take loans. Financial crash.
What is most memorable for me.
Like a fortune teller pulled out the sun. Writing that this is the most successful card in the deck.
This card denotes success in all endeavors, while adding that the card is turned over, it means that success is possible, but not soon.
Well, now, you are reading me now). I'm kidding, of course)
This is not success - it is one step forward.
What would I do now if I had the opportunity to start all over again, from scratch?
I'll talk about this further.

How to make money on the Internet. What would I be doing now if I started from scratch?

Guys, I know, many are looking for the cherished sites that will pay for the simplest job(likes, reposts, watch an advertisement or a website, click on an advertisement, etc.)
Are they there?
Where they pay coolly for such work, there is a scam.
Such work will never be well paid.

Is it worth working on click-through boxes?
For starters, yes. Better on 3, 4, such. What, not what, but money. In addition, you will gain a little experience.
As they say, the boss who started with the worker is good).

I am often reproached in the comments, to the article about the sundress, saying that you didn’t try to make money there, try it first, otherwise you’re writing all sorts of crap.
Guys, I haven’t tried it and I’m not going to give out money to scammers. Lokhotronov, for making money on the Internet, I tried as many as you could not dream of.
Do you like playing with money?
Well, play around while others are building a business on the internet, play).

Where not to meddle at all?
Where investment is required from you.
Casino, mlm, games with attachments, and so on.
Most of these have a beautiful legend.
We are a developing company, investing in gold, stock, timber, cars, factories, air, mars, ufo.
Remember!
Nobody invests anywhere! If you are promised, let's say 1% per day of the money you have invested.
Do you think okay?
Guys, you haven't been banging your head in the morning about anything?

Guys, you have to work everywhere, there is no freebie.
Trust me and my experience.

What are the real ways to make money on the Internet?
In fact, there are 2 of them.
1. Freelance.
2. Your site.

What is a freelancer?
A remote worker, that is, he works at a computer.
For doing certain work on the Internet, you get paid.

What are the most in-demand professions?
In my opinion, this is a website designer and layout designer.
A good designer and layout designer will never be left without work.

How to freelance?
There are special exchanges where a person writes what work he is ready to perform and how much his work costs.
You see, there are many employees, and in order to be noticed, respectively, you had a mountain of orders, you need to prove yourself.
For example, if I went to work as a freelancer, I would not hope for one exchange.
Checked in at least 5.
Agree on advertising on the site or blog you visit. Better by 4-5.
For example, in the form of an interview.

Cons of working as a freelancer
It is thick, then empty. The whole week is full of orders. Then sit for a week.
Without promoting you and your services, you shouldn't leave your main job.
Honestly, this kind of work is not for me.
Why?
You might as well work anywhere. There is not much difference.
This is again a job for someone. I like doing my own projects and making money almost on a liability.
I put an advertisement on the site, let the money drip.

Your site.
I lost so much time ... but if I started working on websites, say 5 years, now I would be in chocolate.
By the way, it is not even necessary to write on the site yourself.
You can order articles from copywriters (the person who writes articles for your site).
But the blog, in my opinion, you need to keep yourself. You, by the way, are now on it).

What are the disadvantages of the site?
From website creation to monetization (earnings), at least 1 year.
Usually 2-3 years. Provided that you will publish on it at least 1 article per week (preferably 3-7).
Until then, you only need to work on its content (articles).
That is, are you ready to work for 3 years for free?
Of course, I exaggerate that you will receive something, but this money is unlikely to be enough for a family.

You know, it's a fashionable trend now, to make your blog to earn money.
But only in 90% of cases, if he lives up to a year, no one leads him.
Do you know why?
Most will see enough of all sorts of "gurus," who explain, they say, the whole problem is in creating a site.
Further, almost immediately after creation, visitors will go to you and money will flow.
No - that's not true at all.
In order to make money on the site, you must have visitors, a lot of visitors).
If they are not there, there is no money either.
In addition to creating a blog, you need to be able to promote it in search engines.
And this is a whole science that is constantly changing.
You need to be constantly in trend.

How to learn if you are a green beginner and do not know or know how?
Green rookie is not a sentence. This is temporary). We all came here like that).
If, you decide to create your blog.
I would not advise you to rush anywhere.
Think about what you are interested in and what are you good at?
Before creating a blog, I would spend at least 100 hours studying its promotion.

For example, if I am interested in any topic, I do not know how to do it right, I go to a search engine.
I read at least 3 authoritative authors on this topic (often 7-10 authors).
What for?
I want to get a more complete picture on the issue of interest to me.

What can I advise you?
Do not be afraid.
When I started, I thought it would be unrealistic to figure everything out!
90% of moneymakers' slang did not understand at all).
Time passes ... and already those articles where I did not understand half of the words), you not only understand the meaning, but also see the delusions of the author of these articles).

It only happens easily and quickly ... you yourself know who).

For skeptics.
I paid off my loans, but here it’s not how much work on the Internet helped out, but work offline.
A gift of fate or something). A gift, because this is not a job that few people can do, rather many people), but the salary, not just big, but an order of magnitude higher than the national average.

That's it, guys.
Questions in the comments are welcome.
Good luck to you!

Business is usually treated as if it has nothing to do with "who you really are." But, according to Scott Fox, author of How to Work Where You Want, How Much You Want, and Get a Steady Income, Internet business provides a platform to do more than just make a living. He provides a chance to share his unique service with the world and implement his plan. The recommendations are suitable for anyone who has decided to start a business based on their own lifestyle. And it doesn't have to be internet-related. The main thing is to make a decision and start acting right now.

Here are 14 steps to help you build your own business.

Step 1. Reallocate your time

Examine your daily schedule and determine how much time you can devote to a new endeavor. Allocate as much time as you can to this, but try to devote a certain number of hours a week to the new business. Force yourself to turn off the TV and do something constructive on a regular basis.

Step 2. Reformat your chart

Think carefully about where you can take more time to invest in your new lifestyle.

For example, set aside a few days off for research and planning, ask your boss to change your schedule so you can work from home, or avoid rush hour commuting to the office.

Step 3. Start budgeting

Start transferring funds (as much as you can afford) to your new savings account. Set up an automatic weekly or monthly transfer of funds (any amount!) To this account and start saving. Save this money specifically for new business expenses - research, training, development.

You can take these first three steps without knowing what your new business will be like. Start reorganizing your life to be the way you want it to be, and your lifestyle will begin to change to reflect your goals.

Step 4. Generate business ideas

For example, you can build a business around your own unique experience and help others solve similar problems, develop an interest in real expertise, to advise people with similar hobbies. All this can be done using a blog, social. networks, as a podcast author, etc.

Step 5. Do your research

Gathering information about the industry you have chosen, as well as the competition that exists in it, is a good investment of time. To do this, read three to five books. Half of them should be about your topic and target markets to help you become an expert. The rest of the books should contain specific instructions on website building, internet marketing, product development, and market differentiation. Then stop reading - that's enough.

Study your competitors. Subscribe to a newsletter or blog, purchase products, or join the community of three competitors to know what they are doing and find ways to do it better.

Step 6. Don't waste your money

Don't waste your savings on advertised courses in business, marketing, or product development. Instead, spend 30 days just looking, reading, researching competitors, talking to friends, and thinking about what you could - and should - do. (Of course, you can spend some on education, competitor research, and participation in forums, blogs and in social networks- it will be better than just reading - but only if you can afford it). As you pursue your new hobby, lifestyle modeling, you will most likely be looking for answers. On the Internet, you will find many "experts" and "gurus" making impressive offers that look like easy money. Tip: Better to start your own website and try to sell something. Real feedback from real buyers will give you more than any guru's advice.

Step 7. Create a test site

Once you know where you are going, create a test site. You don't have to learn programming to make a simple website. And it doesn't have to be perfect at all, it doesn't even have to be good. You don't have to put your real name on it and tell all your friends. Your goal is to acquire practical experience understand how internet business works.

Step 8. Make the work to order

If you are trying to change your profession or learn new skills, try doing some kind of work as a freelancer, without being tied to your main job.

Even if you don't do much, getting paid to acquire valuable skills is a great deal.

Step 9. Build your brand

Start coming up with domain names as soon as you have a clear line of business. You want a name that is short, easy to write and remember, free, and ideally with a ".com" extension. There are not so many of them left, so the task may turn out to be more difficult than it seems. Once you've got a good domain name, sign up on the most popular social networks using your brand name as your username. This is necessary so that customers can easily find you (and so that these names are not taken over by competitors).

Step 10. Get over your past

Everything in the past has to do with where you are at the moment. You may have had frustrations, but now a new day has arrived. Most of us rely on ideas laid down in childhood. And our expectations are driven by the supposed "instant success" promoted by television and the Internet. This can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and even feelings of failure. Small online success today can bring you more income, increase your professionalism, and build your self-confidence.

Step 11. Don't wait for approval with bated breath

We all seek approval from others. In business, the approval of your bosses is most important, but the approval of colleagues, subordinates, and clients is also important. If you want to feel good, you also need the approval of friends, family, and spouse. Unfortunately, working alone is not easy to get approval.

You should develop enough confidence in your ideas so that you can implement them even when you don't have a boss behind you. This, by the way, can change your life more than money. Self-esteem is earned, not bought, and it pays dividends every day. Keep going, and you’ll soon realize that real freedom is being able to do what you love and be truly productive, rather than wasting time trying to impress colleagues or please your boss.

Step 12. Seek Online Support

Through the network around the world, you can find friendly people who share your interest in self-development and entrepreneurship. They will be happy to help you deal with what is holding you back from improving your life. Try chatting on social media and forums to discuss issues related to your chosen industry or industry. By becoming part of these communities, you can leverage your success.

Provide yourself with specialists who will do what you do not yet know how or do not want to do. On the Internet you can find information, support or people who can help in the implementation of almost any task. When you're ready, you can step forward and start managing (and owning) your own projects, turning them into a business. Create new sites and donate them to support someone for little money to move on to the next project! Implement several successful projects, and you will have a team of people, each of whom you can turn to to solve a specific problem. This makes it possible to repeat operations, create new projects, and turn them into a business.

Step 14. Avoid the envy machine

Try not to compare yourself to others. You may think that many are superior to you, but you do not see the whole picture. Many have worked hard for several years before you even hit the Internet, others are supported by big companies, previous experience, family money, personal connections, or have other benefits that are beyond your reach.

Social media is not real life. It is more like a meeting of classmates in which everyone chooses what to talk about. And they exaggerate all the good things! You may be worried if the audience of your competitors (or even friends) is larger.

But remember, you embarked on this journey because you are determined to create your vision, build your business with integrity, to be rewarded for your hard work and to create a decent life for those who are most dear to you.

The idea of ​​starting a business may seem like a global, daunting undertaking, but today it is as simple and cheap as ever. You can enter larger markets without being an internet expert, which was previously not possible. Even small ideas can turn into large generators of profits, provided the right time (now!) And sufficiently wide market coverage (all over the world!).

I have been doing internet business since 2011. And in this article I want to tell you the whole truth - how to start an internet business from scratch. The information in this article is likely to go against what you are used to hearing and reading about this topic. So get ready. Now we are going to break your stereotypes.

If you are just thinking about how to start your own internet business, then most likely you don't have a lot of money. And if you think that this is your main problem, then you are greatly mistaken.

Your main problem when starting an internet business

It's just wonderful that you have no money. Seriously. All my experience shows unequivocally - if a person has money at the start of his business (on the Internet or off the Internet), then everything always ends the same. He puts them in the wrong place. He seeks to leave "on the money." And as a result, he loses all his money.

And the fact that he is losing money is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that a person always develops a "negative reflex" associated with business. It's like a child is being burnt on a hot kettle for the first time. And then he will never stick his hands there.

And in the history of Internet business it is the same. Once burned, and no more roll can entice a person to try again.

But if there is no money, then you have to think. Think - where to get traffic for free, how to make a website for free, how to sell it better. And that's when you begin to develop the skills you need to run an online business.

Yes, this is now yours the main problem... You can't do anything. Internet business is only on the selling pages of information businessmen, it is so cool, easy and enjoyable. In fact, you need to learn a lot and learn a lot before you hear the first coins clink in your e-wallets.

What are these skills? Here are three essential skills for running your online business successfully.

3 essential skills of an internet businessman

Traffic

The most vital skill for any type of internet business is the ability to attract targeted visitors. It is also called "marketing" on the Internet. That is, you need to learn how to make sure that a lot of people come to your selling platforms who in theory can become your clients.

It's not a fact that they will pay you money and turn into real customers, but attracting an audience is a step number of times.

In order to attract potential customers, you need to learn. It is the most important source of commercial traffic on the Internet today. And first of all, it is Yandex Direct. If you still have illusions in your head that you are, and he will do everything for you, forget about it.

Nobody will do anything to you even for a million rubles (if you had one). In the beginning - only yourself, and only with your own hands.

Next, you need to learn how to work with targeted advertising on social networks, with SEO traffic, with teaser ads. These are all completely different systems, and they work in completely different ways. If you want to learn everything at once - take my course. He will help you a lot.

Website development

To convert traffic into sales, you need at least one selling platform. If you are confident that you can run your business entirely through social media, then you may not need a website. You just create some kind of VKontakte group, and it will work for you instead of the site.

But in the vast majority of cases, you still need to have a website. Let it be just one page on the Internet. But it has to be. Moreover, in reality you will need a lot of such pages (believe my experience).

Now there are many different online builders that allow you to create pages on the Internet quickly and effortlessly. And this creates the false impression that making a website is easy.

In fact, pushing blocks from the constructor and writing something to these blocks does not mean making a website. You will need to learn at least the basics of html in order to be able to perform the simplest actions with sites without the participation of programmers. This is also a skill, and it also takes time.

Copywriting

The main way to sell on the Internet is to write sales texts. Even if you sell in person via Skype or through correspondence on social networks, you still cannot do without copywriting.

Because copywriting is a sales psychology. You need to learn to “see” your target audience. Understand what language they speak. Feel the pain they are in. To be able to choose the right words so that the person on the other side of the screen understands you and believes you. To improve your copywriting skills - download my free book. This will already be a good step forward.

These are the three skills you need to start pumping now: traffic, websites, copywriting. And for this you just need to start doing any business from the list below. You don't need to set yourself some global goals now. You just need to learn how to perform the simplest actions on the Internet.

Imagine a child who just yesterday began to take his first tentative steps. So you come up to him and ask - "Where are you going?" And he doesn't go anywhere, he just walks. And he walks in order to strengthen his muscles, to learn how to keep balance.

You should have the same thing. You do not go to any goal of "capturing the world", you just repeat simple movements, developing and developing your skills:

And in order to make it more fun and faster - choose one of the five main options for Internet business. Choose any option. Then you can change the direction of your activity as many times as you like.

5 Essential Internet Business Options: Pros and Cons

Partnership programs

This is perhaps the easiest way to start your own business over the Internet. Advantage this method- you don't need to have your own product to start earning. The disadvantage is that you cannot manage the entire sales chain.

An affiliate program is when you find an interesting product and start advertising it on your selling platforms. For each sale, you are charged a commission - a percentage of the purchase price.

The problem is that there are not so many truly high-quality affiliate programs. And most often these are some kind of information products (courses, trainings). Look in more detail about affiliate programs in the info business.

I myself am not a big fan and a skilled worker of making money on affiliate programs. All I do in this direction is sometimes place affiliate links in my articles on the site. But without a special system. However, I manage to somehow earn 2 - 3 thousand rubles a month only from these affiliate programs.

If you take this business seriously, you can bring income to an acceptable level. They say that there are people who earn 100-200 thousand rubles a month only from affiliate programs.

Infobusiness

This option is suitable for those who love independence. Here you have to make your own information products and sell them yourself. But you will also earn much more than in the same affiliate programs.

In affiliate programs, you will be deducted 10 - 20% of the cost of the product, and from your products you will receive 100%. Plus, you will have full control over your sales funnel. You can change something if it doesn't sell well.

The main disadvantage, of course, is that in order to run a successful info business, you need to know and be able to do something that other people will want to learn. You can either delve into your old competencies, or choose a new one and quickly learn from books and practice. See more on how to start an info business from scratch.

Network marketing

Network marketing or MLM (or as it is now fashionably called - "network marketing") is not suitable for everyone. This is a very specific type of online business. I am not saying that he is bad, or that there are only scammers. Quite the opposite.

I believe that it is MLM that will allow you to quickly develop the necessary skills for an Internet business. The advantage is good training, and again, you don't need to have your own product.

Of the minuses - people do not like network business (because they do not like being recommended for money). Another drawback - today, in fact, there are a lot of financial pyramids that are covered by the network business. In fact, there is no product there, and it all comes down to the fact that you pay to have someone pay you from the bottom of the structure.

If you do not have a lot of experience in the network business, then it is very difficult to distinguish a real MLM from a financial pyramid. And there is a high probability that you will get yourself into one of them. But that's what they make mistakes, to learn from them. Network Marketing is probably the best fit for you.

Blogging

Blogging is not 100% business. Most often, earnings there do not come from the sale of a product, but from advertising. That is, you create some kind of platform, fill it with useful and interesting content, and promote it. And then you hang ads there for money.

However, this does not mean that you cannot make good money in blogging. On the contrary, it is an excellent and very monetary way to earn a lot without selling anything at all. For example, if you have a content site on the Internet with a traffic of 15-20 thousand people a day, then you may well be able to earn 100-150 thousand a month from advertising alone.

On the downside, you will have to work very long and hard before you see the return on your blog. To reach the level of 15 - 20 thousand uniques per day, you will need about two years of work (and this is provided that you do everything right at once).

By the way, blogging can be more than just classic. You can create your own VKontakte group or YouTube channel. This will also be blogging, only social. There you will focus not on SEO, but on the viral distribution of content. If you are sure that you don’t want to sell anything to anyone, then blogging is probably the best choice for you.

Selling goods from one page

The last option for online business in our today's "review" is running your own online store. Only this is not a large online store with a bunch of product positions, its own logistics system and other attributes.

You can make your own small "internet shop" literally on your knees. To do this, you need to do, place some product there, and start traffic.

In words, everything looks simple, but in fact there are a number of pitfalls. The biggest disadvantage is the need to deliver the goods to the buyer. It is logistics that most often becomes the reason why it is not possible to conduct business through one-page websites. Goods go for a long time, people refuse to buy, and so on and so forth.

On the plus side, it is easier to sell live goods than, say, the same information products. A living physical product immediately understands its value. Read more about. And also about what it should be.

In general, a one-page business is probably the only "real business" that can be scaled up to many millions of earnings per month (and make it stable and not closed on you as a business owner).

Therefore, if you think broadly, selling goods through landing pages is best suited for you.

Summary
