Easy Income: Tools, Techniques and
Resources for building an Online Business
This is site is about my journey as I build an online internet business.
And before we go any further, no, it's not easy. Like anything else it requires
effort and dedication. What 'Easy' really means is that once your money-making mechanism is set up then it should
run without attention (if that is the model you have chosen to follow).
Undoubtedly it was easier to make money in the early days, but then again, many of
those who are successful now have served their online apprenticeship - many for several years before they could
become 'independent' of regular careers. And of course, hindsight is a 100% science, as we all know!
I will lead you through the process as the site develops. On this this site you will find:
...and a whole lot more. But read on...
Money Making Hype
What I am finding though, is that when people start selling their 'sure way to make
money online' process, then by that time the model is past its peak. So, the trick is to catch the wave as it
builds and ride it. That's why my strapline is '...Seeking, Learning,
Building, Earning?'
What do You Enjoy?
The other side of the coin (wave?) is that whilst there are hundreds of ways of
making money online, some ways may not suit you. I happen to enjoy crafting articles, but many people hate writing
articles. So, not only do you need to find your niche market, you need to find your niche methods - those things
that you enjoy doing. If you don't enjoy it, then you will not do it well and that will show in the
results.
Invest in the Best for the Basics
My basic approach has been to buy the best tools I could find within my budget for
the fundamentals. I couldn't stretch to Dreamweaver (which I'd used before), and stumbled across xSitePro2. What a
gem! So, generally I'm trying to use the 'best of breed' for my basic tools, with a couple of leading edge service
subscriptions - SubmitYourArticle and AWeber for example. For other tools like graphics, audio and video, I'm using
freeware (Gimp, Audacity, Jing), which are great but need a bit more work.
Business Models
Back to moneymaking models - there are many, some are simple, some are very
complicated. I'll be illustrating a few on this site, so make sure you add EzeeIncome to your favourites . I've added a
page with some of the hot Adsense opportunities.
Progress Reports
My blog has a different
take, more about how I am progressing against my plan (which changes as I
learn more)...
