Making money online is no easy task. Trust me, I know. I've looked all over the internet and I've seen my fair share of €marketing€ programs and videos that just don't work, along with survey sites that encourage you to sign up and you'll get a $5 bonus! They all promise easy money with no work on your part. If only it were that easy!

The truth is that nothing is really that simple. You can't just €plug in€ a code and begin making all the money in the world. You can't take a few surveys a day and make $75. Nothing worth doing is going to be easy, and that's just life, unfortunately.

Many survey sites claim to be easy money, but to tell the truth, it's hard to make money doing surveys. A majority of surveys will only pay you pennies on the dollar, and that's if you're not screened out. Unless you're willing to spend hours trying to earn only a few dollars, survey sites are just not for you. Honestly, if you earn a hundred dollars in a month, you're to be seriously commended. I certainly don't have the patience for it.

And internet marketing can seem just daunting. There are so many sites that could be scams. Many promise instant earnings, and just don't deliver. If the claims are outrageous, then it's probably safe to say that the programs aren't going to work the way you probably expect them to. However, there are some programs that are fantastic stepping stones. These sites will give you the basics to get you going, so you can learn the ins and outs of internet marketing. They'll help you on the way to becoming an internet marketer, holding your hand through the process, so you don't feel like you have to venture out on your own. That's far better than most 9 to 5 jobs can say.

So if you're interested in being your own boss, don't be scared! Jump into it and have fun. You can make it a part-time or full-time thing; it's absolutely your choice. Do be careful, though! Programs promising thousands in a day probably won't deliver that amount right off the bat. It will require some work, like all jobs do. No business starts off making millions, by any means! Everything starts small, but hey, you have to start somewhere. If you can be consistent with it, then your business will begin to grow in ways you've never imagined. It may take a little time and a little effort, but trust me, it will be worth it!
