How I Achieved An Internet Income At Last By Chris Puddy Let me tell you a story. 10 years ago I set up my first Internet site. It was easy in those days to be found, and be indexed and to be noticed. But my site was an information site and it was linked to a long term interest in esoteric subjects. But I could not find a way to make it earn money, so it was just left over the years doing very little. Then I discovered how many Intenet marketers were making money, and got hooked into the whole Internet marketing process. But even though I bought the books, listened to the CD's, went to the seminars, learnt how to do email letters, got autoresponders to work and many other useful tips and tricks, I could never think of a product to market for myself, and so I let it all go for many years. About a year ago I renewed my interest, and put Google Adsense on my site, and used some software to create hundreds of links. Slowly the hits increased to about

2500 a day and my income went up to about $600 a month from my site. I got excited and wanted to see it go higher. I still did not have an actual product, but I had an income. I started to build related sites and expected them to do the same. But then the hits dropped off as Google changed and no matter what I did it could not be revived. I decided that as I did not have a product of my own I needed to find something that I liked and that I could promote, and if it worked for me then it would work for others as well. You see, part of my problem, and I suspect many others it that to be successful on the Internet is not necessarily very difficult, but it requires concentration on one product, service or site. Too many of us keep finding the next easy way to make money, to then flit from one promise to another, and the result, certainly for me was buying all sorts of products, expecting that just buying them would make money, but then never did because I never put all my effort into that idea. Slowly the light dawned, and I started to look for simple products that appealed to me, that I could use to make some money, something that would last, and something that if it built up an income would be sustained. I found a handful of products, that I found very useful, and satisfied demand. I narrowed this down to a small list that had a variety of markets. From the absolute beginner to an expert, and even a product that does not require a lot of marketing and contact with others to work, but just makes money using the Internet as a source of information. So having found these products, and tried them, it occurred to me that if I told others about my discovery that may help them to get to a position where they could say as I have said, and that is that I have an Internet Income at last. I put my site together, and wondered how long it would take to be found, and started to log and record my activities in a new blog. It is actually beginning to be found, and I know that slowly if I apply the lessons I have learnt, then I can show others how I have done this. I am recording it in my blog for all to see. So come success or failure, everything will be recorded as it happens.
