DISQUS

A good start is having a page that doesn't crash Safari.

I'm not sure if you are talking about this page (the snark below is clouding my judgment) but if you are, send me an email with the problem. It hasn't had any problems in Safari before but that doesn't mean you aren't have issues now.

Thanks.

VC's must have some amazing stories of well thought out startups that have no means of generating income! Someone should write a book.

What do you mean? There are many ways to make money online but i'm sure none of them are easy and source of instant money. Making Money online takes a lot of effort, time and devotion

I agree, there's so many different ways of making money online but finding the best is never easy and mostly costly to boot and always something you can find on google for free! I've started a blog myself collecting all the best money making ideas and loopholes for everyone to have themselves for free, take a look, there's going to be plenty on there over time!(link in sig!) Love what you're doing on this site by the way, very good, informative information for people that want to take some action with their lives and make something of themselves, I'll certainly be coming back regular!

I'm a big fan of the micro-sales.

A buddy of mine is working on a web venture with a "premium services" package as the revenue model - with a potential investor buy-out.

The problem with funding using premium services is getting people to buy to begin with.

The first property I purchased was a three family apartment house. I used credit cards to fund the down payment. When I began to purchase my third three family, I realized that there were a lot of good deals out there and I needed a system to come up with down payments.

I agree! Hundreds of people hear that they can make money online - but don't stop to get all the facts. they jump in without knowing what it takes and how much time and money need to be invested into it.

Making money online is not always as easy as people think but it is possible and when you find something that works for you, it is great and you run with that.

Nice thoughts - thanks for sharing. I come from germany, over here its quite different. As soon as you have a single ad on your page, the users start to moan and complain about sellout -> eat that! How can you make many that way... Well, i think specialized ad networks is the best possibillity, but meeting their quality standards often not that easy :(

I think the best thing you can -try- to do is work within their parameters. Most people are willing to accept some kinds of ads as long as it doesn't feel like advertising. See if you can bring them something valuable alongside the ads (deals, coupons, bonuses).

It's hard going but it might be more effective than standard banners.

There are tons of ways to make money out there. As long as there is someone demanding something, we can always have a chance to offer him what he wants. I believe internet marketing will be the main marketing platform in the future.

Making money online definitely takes a certain amount of effort but I think it is definitely "doable". I'm no genius, and if I can do it, anyone can!

The article is very informative.It is true that most of businesses fail at the startup itself just because of faulty planning. And this happens mostly because we tend to ignore small and minute things just because we consider them to be too unimportant.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make money online - it's a lot harder than I thought. I get some visitors to my blog about my life but I still don't make any money. I just don't get it.

Breathing : For those of you who may not yet be aware, even the Web2.0 trend requires a continuous cycle of breathing in (and importantly, breathing back out). A lack of oxygen will certainly stop any Ferrari fantasies you may have.

Hygiene : Never under-estimate the importance of self hygiene. You spent thousands on a shiny logo with purty reflections, but did you ever consider the real world effect of not having fungal rot growing on you ?

Lobotomy : Like most content on the web these days, you have to dribble some fairly inane bullsheet to get a sizable eye-ball audience on your lame little blog. Treating everyone like complete retards is usually the easiest way to tell people things they already know. As American as Apple Pie, and easily keyword-clouded.

One of two things.

1. Either you have had the good fortune of never running into a entrepreneur relying solely on AdWords and a Yahoo! buyout as an exit strategy.

2. You happen to actually -have- a revenue model, so the thought of not having one seems ridiculous to you.

(I'm going to avoid the hidden "Trolling for the sake of Trolling" option.)

In the first case, trust me -- they are out there. This is directed towards them, if it isn't relevant, feel free to move along.

In the second case, it's good to realize that just because you think something if common sense, doesn't mean that it is. Intuition is usually won by experience, once you have it you tend to forget that you ever didn't.

One way or another, the extended metaphor was decent. I'm glad you took time to share.
