A Frank Comparison of Money-Making Options


This brief tutorial offers a comparison of some of the more popular money-making options available on the Internet. We'll discuss:

  1. Affiliate programs
  2. Purchase of reprint or resale rights
  3. Create your own product
  4. Offer a service
  5. Dropshipping or stockless retailing
  6. Joining a business opportunity

No matter what anyone says, no business is "right" for everyone. We're all unique and each of us has a unique set of skills, interests, talents, and experiences. It's up to you to find your special "niche". Don't believe someone who tells you that what they've got is a "guaranteed" road to success - particularly since "success" depends in part on your personal attributes (how hard you work, how fast you learn, how motivated you are, etc).

Whatever you choose, give yourself a chance to make it work. Many people spend a great deal of time and energy hopping from one money-making fad or program to the next - yet they never actually make money while they're at it. This is common in the 'instant riches' mentality of the Internet. Or people complain about "scams" or about being "bad information", instead of using their time more productively.

Business is business, regardless of whether it's in the 'real world' or on the Internet. It takes time to build a successful business - and it usually doesn't come easy. Work hard, put forth your best effort, and give it a chance.
